The gobal warming faith sees warming even in ice Global warming is actually a faith. Let Rev. Dr. Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite, Professor of Theology at the snow-bound Chicago Theological Seminary, demonstrate: Hell is normally depicted as a "lake of fire," as in Revelation 20:10. This week in the Midwest, however, Hell is likely to look more like lakes of ice, as dangerous cold from a polar vortex, brings "wind chills [that] could hit 50, 60 or even 70 below zero." The Great Lakes will likely freeze over and prolong an already very cold winter. This is the chilling effect of global warming... Simply put, the Christian theological argument must start with our sinful failure to take care of the creation, as God intends (Gen. 2:15). Instead, we are trashing the planet and changing its climate primarily through the fossil fuel emissions. Sin against the creation abounds... The climate is where the weird things are. You may not know the cause, but everybody knows the weather sure has gotten weird. Weird is threatening. Weird is scary. And you should be scared. In history, artists have portrayed scenes of the fiery Hell as very scary. Today, there is a Hell coming toward us, but it is a frigid apocalypse, brought on by our own sinful disregard of the planet. The future prospects are chilling. When freezing is warming, emissions a "sin against the creation," and "the climate is where the weird things are" you know you have left the world of reason and facts no longer count. You will not change such a believer's faith until hell freezes over, and, as we see, probably not even then. Professor David Deming, a geophysicist, responds to the babbling of a Brooks: Global warming is nowhere to be found. The mean global temperature has not risen in 17 years and has been slowly falling for approximately the past 10 years... At the end of the first week in January, a brutal spell of cold weather settled over most of the country. Multiple cold-temperature records were shattered across the country... . Chicago and New York City broke temperature records set in 1894 and 1896, respectively... Weather extremes also seem to bring out the lunatic fringe... We were subjected to the oxymoronic explanation that frigid weather was, in fact, caused by global warming. According to Time magazine, cold temperatures in the United States were a result of global warming forcing the polar vortex southward. But in 1974, the same Time informed us that descent of the polar vortex into temperate zones was a harbinger of a new Ice Age. Via Watts Up With That.
