Sirs,

The foolhardy political establishment, along with fanatical members of the green fuel brigade, would all have us gullibly believe that man, yes sinful man, is the architect of his own destiny. They dare to prophetically tell us that the effects of ‘climate change’ and ‘global warming’ are going to lead to the extinction of planet earth and mankind! Honestly, you just couldn’t make this ridiculous guff up.

Almost every piece of news these days has some word or other to say about the catastrophic dangers of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. This week has not been an exception. While we may not agree with everything that President Donald J Trump says, we wholeheartedly concur with his correct analysis that this drivel is, ‘nothing but a Chinese hoax.’ In fact it is more. Along with evolution, it is a lie that has been hatched in hell by the devil, ‘the father of lies.’ Many in our country have swallowed the climate lie - hook, line, and sinker. It is the greatest scam in history.

Let us set the record straight once and for all. There is no reason whatsoever, either Biblically or scientifically, to fear the exaggerated and misguided claims of catastrophe as a result of increasing levels of man- made carbon dioxide (CO2). Many within the environmentalist movement are so obsessed with protecting ‘mother earth’ that they will use any and every argument to accomplish that goal, no matter how biased and unbalanced it is.

Yes, of course, we believe in climate change but not the lie that mankind controls climate change. The reality is climate is changing – it always has and always will. But man can’t change climate, only God can. Yes, God is in absolute control of His creation.

Whenever there is a massive climate disaster in the world, the usual political and media hype is to blame the effects of ‘climate change.’ The worse the disaster, the louder the calls for acting against climate change by addressing the supposed man- made causes, such as carbon emissions and the use of fossil fuels. This view is often presented as if it were irrefutable scientific fact. The truth, however, is that it is an ideology – a very foolish one at that – and it will negatively affect every single person who falls for it!

If people in the UK, and across the world, just opened their Bibles they would have an undeniably clear explanation for what causes climatic disasters. ‘The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked; the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.’ Nahum 1:3. This one verse alone powerfully demonstrates that God has power over the storms. He controls where and how hard they strike. The idea that carbon emissions causes storms is the antithesis of what God says.

Yes, humans – in a sense – are responsible for weather disasters. Not because of fossil fuels, but because of sin - breaking God’s commandments. The greatest ‘climate change’ event in history, the Flood of Noah’s day, confirms it. This ‘killer storm’ wasn’t caused by any gas emissions, rather it was God punishing people for their sins. There are always dire consequences when we don’t repent and forsake sin.

When God powerfully changes the climate, as He often does in ferocious and devastating ways, this is nothing less than a merciful clarion call, to sinners everywhere, to repent and believe the gospel. This heart change effect is mightier than any global climate change on the planet.
