Do you think EVEN a significant Global Climate would convince religious followers that Global Warming is real?

Question

or would they continue to say its just an act of God?

Opionated, you just validated my other questions, so the rest of you can stfu now.

So an increase of 1 degree at the equator which equals 5-10 degrees at the poles, which Will and Is melting the Ice caps will destroy us.

Answer 1

Its irrelevant, Jesus is coming soon. The bible doesn't predict global warming as a major problem in the last days and it does predict many other things.

Answer 2

What do you mean by a 'significant global climate? We have always had a global climate. If you mean a significant change, such as an extreme warming or an ice age, we should look objectively at why this is taking place. We have had both extremes in the history of the world. Unfortunately, it has gotten to be a political issue with some parties blaming the other for every natural disaster or temperature change. About 30 years ago, there was a belief by many that we were entering another ice age.
For those who are so quick to place the blame for climate changes, consider both sides of the issue. There are also many scientists who believe climate changes are not man made.

Answer 3

If the increase was more than .6 degrees per century, we might pay it some attention. So, in 500 years it may go up by 3 degrees.

I don't think Jesus is 500 years away from returning and setting everything straight again.

When the end times begins, Revelation 8: 12 says;

12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

Sounds a lot like global freezing to me. Are you ready for that? Which could you tolerate more? Look at the difference in temperature between summer and winter, when there is a onlyl a couple of hours of less sunlight. Now picture that as a third of the day with no light or heat from the sun. Of course the moon and the stars only get their light from the sun.

OOPS, we don't know anything about science, I forgot.

Dude, I'm not so sure it's an act of God. I think it's just the result of our (humans in the industrial world) actions. I do think that the world will somehow clean itself - be it by global warming and temp changes. I while ago I saw a show on the history channel or discovery - anyways, they were talking about how sudden drops in global temperature (mini-ice ages that would go on for, say 10-50 year spurts) seemed to kind of stunt human population and industrial growth. So I'm kind of wondering if this is just the heat before the freeze.
Anyhow, I'm just saying, I'm sure global warming is real - but it's part of the earth and the way it is. Cycle of life and such.
I will say I don't think it will end with the destruction of human life altogether - maybe just narrow it down a bit. I think humans might just be a little bit like cocroaches that way.
Maybe it will turn out like that Kevin Costner movie - waterworld.
;) LOL

Answer 5

I am very religious but also believe strongly in global warming. In fact, there have already been AT LEAST 4 major Ice Ages. In between these Ice Ages are Interglacial periods when the Earth has become extremely warm. In fact, the Earth has been so warm at different times in the past that the fossils of tropical plants and animals have been found in places like Sweden! Basically, we are in a middle time right now. The Earth has seen FAR warmer and Far colder times.

Long story short, I am a faithful Christian who believes that God has created everything through the tools of Science. I.E. Evolution, physics, Gravity, the Big Bang, etc... He has created through these processes a beautiful world we now find ourselves on. Global warming (and cooling) is just part of the system he has provided us with on our little planet.

God bless.

Answer 6

Global Warming isnt a threat. It is merely the cycle of the Earth, it goes in cycles, it will be very hot one century, and then the next it will be cold. It's got nothing to do with being an act of God its just that he made the oceans move (I mean like with waves and everything). Why do you think so much fresh water enters the canals and things in the Northern Hemisphere from the Oceans during April/May time, EVERY year...

Answer 7

Faith and reason rarely go hand in hand.

There will always be people who blindly follow something. Some people choose to follow a religion and use it as a guide to life. In most cases, this is a great thing. It offers a sense of belonging and provides good (most of the time) morals to base your life on. Other people choose to blindly follow an "Environmental" religion. This offers the same sense of community and belonging and a nice way to live your life in terms of the environment, but offers nothing in terms of personal or social relationships and morals.

Both of these groups are equally difficult to reason with, due to the blind nature of faith. Trying to convince a regular church goer that god doesn't exist is just as hard as trying to convince a evironmentalist that global warming is a myth.

Answer 8

WHICH religious followers say that?? Definitely not me... I've felt sooo frustrated with people saying things like it's just pseudo science. I honestly don't know what religion they were, probably atheist!

But unlike what you think, all believers don't deny science facts. And no, we don't all see it as an 'act of God'. It would be stupid to call the mess humans are making of the planet that.

Answer 9

God is real. What He does is real. Global warming appears to be real. So what if it is His judgment? I see it as a sign mentioned in the Bible.

Answer 10

Those that mindlessly follow concept developed to explain how sun circled Earth won't let science get in the way.
