- The image of Earth as organismfamously dubbed
Gaia by environmentalist James Lovelockhas
probably been overworked, but thats not to say
the planet can't behave like a living thing, and
these days, it's a living thing fighting a fever.
7- Earth has a fever!

82 PETER 310
- 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief
in the night in the which the heavens shall pass
away with a great noise, and the elements shall
melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the
works that are therein shall be burned up.
9GLOBAL WARMING? IS AL GORE RIGHT?
- If we take the Bible literally, earth will get so
hot that it will all burn up, - BUT,
- that is at the very least 1007 years from today
more later! - So Al Gore is a bit right, but his timing is more
than 1000 years off, and it will not be a gradual
process, IT WILL BE A FLASH.
10- Al Gore assumes a poorly designed earth which
responds to changes by making them worse when
there is much true science that supports the idea
that earth has many built in corrective
responses, especially in relationship to our sun
and seas, which no effort of man can alter or
improve.

- ONE of the world's foremost meteorologists has
called the theory that helped Al Gore share the
Nobel Peace Prize "ridiculous" and the product of
"people who don't understand how the atmosphere
works. - Dr William Gray, a pioneer in the science of
seasonal hurricane forecasts told a packed
lecture hall at the University of North Carolina
that humans were not responsible for the warming
of the earth.
14October 14, 2007
- Dr. Grays comments came on the same day that the
Nobel committee honored Mr. Gore for his work in
advertising and promoting the hypothesis that
there is a link between human activity and global
warming. - "We're brainwashing our children," said Dr Gray,
78, a long-time professor at Colorado State
University. - "They're going to the Gore movie An Inconvenient
Truth and being fed all this. It's ridiculous."
15October 14, 2007
- "The human impact on the atmosphere is simply too
small to have a major effect on global
temperatures, Dr. Gray said. - He said his beliefs had made him an outsider in
popular science circles. - "It bothers me that my fellow scientists are not
speaking out against something they know is
wrong," he said. "But they also know that they'd
never get any grants if they spoke out. I don't
care about grants."
16- August 2007
- You wouldnt know it from Al Gores An
Inconvenient Truth, but there are many upsides to
global warming says Dr. Fred Singer, Professor
Emeritus of Environmental Studies, University of
Virginia, (Imprimis, Aug. 2007, p.1). Also
Distinguished research professor at George Mason
University, president of the Science and
Environmental Policy Project Ph.D. in Physics
from Princeton University founding dean of the
School of Environmental and Planetary Sciences at
University of Miami founding director of the
U.S. National Weather Satellite Service past
vice-chairman of the U.S. National Advisory
Committee on Oceans and Atmosphere.
17- Dr. Fred Singer is one of the most qualified
environmental scientists in the world, and he is
not at all concerned with the present liberal
and celebrity faddishness that we are about to be
destroyed by human-generated global warming. - Dr. Singer says In the past few years there has
been increasing concern about global climate
change on the part of the media, politicians, and
the public. It has been stimulated by the idea
that human activities may influence global
climate adversely and
18- that therefore corrective action is required on
the part of governments. Recent evidence suggests
that this concern is misplaced. Human activities
are not influencing the global climate in
perceptible ways. Climate will continue to
change, as it always has in the past, warming and
cooling on different time scales and for
different reasons, regardless of human action. I
would also argue thatshould it occura modest
warming would be on the whole beneficial. - WHAT.?
19FRED SINGER BS (Ohio State), MS, PhD (Princeton)
continues
- This is not to say that we dont face a serious
problem. But the problem is political Is Al Gore
a lifetime politician or a credentialed PhD
scientist?. - Because of the mistaken idea that governments can
and must do something about climate, pressures
are building that have the potential of
distorting energy policies in a way that will
severely damage national economies, decrease
standards of living, and increase poverty. This
misdirection of resources will adversely affect
human health and welfare in
20- in industrialized nations, and even more in
developing nations. Thus it could well lead to
increased social tensions within nations and
conflict between them. - If not for this economic and political damage,
one might consider the present concern about
climate change nothing more than just another
environmentalist fad, like the Alar apple scare
or the global cooling fears of the 1970s. Given
that so much is at stake, however, it is
essential that people better understand the
issue. Dr. Fred Singer, Global Warming Man-Made
or Natural Imprimis Volume 36 Number 8, August
2007, p. 1
21http//www.hillsdale.edu/news/imprimis.asp
- But in seeking to understand recent warming, we
also have to consider the natural factors that
have regularly warmed the climate prior to the
industrial revolution and, indeed, prior to any
human presence on the earth. After all, the
geological record shows a persistent 1,500-year
cycle of warming and cooling extending back at
least one million years (Dr. Fred Singer) The
1500 year cycles are evidentbut only for about
6000 years depending on your worldview.
22Dr. Timothy Patterson is professor and director
of the Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Centre,
Department of Earth Sciences, Carleton University
- The mud at the bottom of B.C. fjords reveals
that solar output drives climate change - and
that we should prepare now for dangerous global
cooling. - R. TIMOTHY PATTERSON,
Financial Post -
Published Wednesday, June 20, 2007
23Dr. Patterson continues
- In some fields the science is indeed "settled."
For example, plate tectonics, once highly
controversial, is now so well-established that we
rarely see papers on the subject at all. But the
science of global climate change is still in its
infancy, with many thousands of papers published
every year.
24- In a 2003 poll conducted by German environmental
researchers Dennis Bray and Hans von Storch,
two-thirds of more than 530 climate scientists
from 27 countries surveyed did not believe that
"the current state of scientific knowledge is
developed well enough to allow for a reasonable
assessment of the effects of greenhouse gases."
About half of those polled stated that the
science of climate change was not sufficiently
settled to pass the issue over to policymakers at
all.
25- Solar scientists predict that, by 2020, the sun
will be starting into its weakest Schwabe solar
cycle of the past two centuries, likely leading
to unusually cool conditions on Earth. - R.
Timothy Patterson, Ph.D.
26- Beginning to plan for adaptation to such a cool
period, one which may continue well beyond one
11-year cycle, as did the Little Ice Age, should
be a priority for governments. It is global
cooling, not warming, that is the major climate
threat to the world, especially Canada. As a
country at the northern limit to agriculture in
the world, it would take very little cooling to
destroy much of our food crops, while a warming
would only require that we adopt farming
techniques practiced to the south of us.
27R. Timothy Patterson concludes
- Meantime, we need to continue research into
this, the most complex field of science ever
tackled, and immediately halt wasted expenditures
on the King Canute-like task of stopping climate
change."
28- Dr. Tim Patterson is Professor of Geology at
Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
He received both a B.Sc. in Biology (1980) and a

- The endless hysteria and alarmism over alleged
global warming has increasingly become a national
and international nuisance and loses credibility
with every passing day. The entire myth has
little to do with science and much to do with
politics. - www.trbc.org. The link is titled A SKEPTICS
GUIDE TO DEBUNKING GLOBAL WARMING ALARMISM.
30National Geographic November 1976Whats
happening to our climate? p.581
- From 1880 to about 1940 the worldparticularly
the Northern Hemispherewent through a period of
significant warming.but since about 1940, there
has been a distinct drop in average global
temperature. Its fallen about ½ a degree
Fahrenheiteven more in high latitudes of the
Northern Hemisphere. - Dr. J. Murray Mitchell, Jr., National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration
31- During the last 20 to 30 years, world
temperature has fallen, irregularly at first but
more sharply over the last decade. - U.S. National Science Board, 1974, as quoted in
National Geographic Nov. 1976, p. 581.
32- Englands annual growing season shrank by 9 or10
days between 1950 and 1966, Hubert Lamb has noted
(Britains University of East Anglia). In the
northern tier of the U.S. Midwest, summer frosts
again occasionally damage crops. - Sea Ice has again returned to Icelands coast
after more than 40 years of virtual absence.
Glaciers in Alaska and Scandinavia have slowed
their recession some in Switzerland have begun
advancing again. National Geographic, p. 281. - Earths spinning motion steersan ever-changing
weather system.
33NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, 1975
- The climates of the earth have always been
changing, and they will doubtless continue to do
so in the future. How large these future changes
will be, and where and how rapidly they will
occur we do not know.
34The Age, April 7, 2003Research casts doubt on
global warming
- Claims that man-made pollution has caused
unprecedented warming have been undermined by
research that shows the earth was warmer in the
Middle Ages (800-1300 A.D.) - The review by a Harvard University teamproves
that the world had a medieval warm period between
the 9th and 14th centuries with world
temperatures significantly higher than today.
35- The hottest temperatures recorded in the U.S.A.
were in the 1930s peaking in 1934 and were
hotter than the global warming mantra of Gore
and the Greens that 1998 and following have
been the hottest on record.
36- Al Gore, and his environmentalist friends have
told us only one side of the story!
37- Global warming alarmism is the bread and butter
of a host of special interests. The perception
that global warming is something to be very
worried about is the sine qua non of billions of
dollars in annual government contracts to
researchers and universities, and millions of
dollars in annual direct mail contributions to
eco-activist groups. Insurance companies like
Swiss Re profit from spreading alarm, because it
gives them a convenient pretext to raise the
premiums they charge to cover weather-related
damages. News magazines like Time profit from
spreading alarm, because scary stories and
scarier covers sell copy.
38- Global warming is a political strategy of
Socialists. - Strategy Create a life-threatening global crisis
such as global warming. - Advertise the crisis repeatedly. (Gore in
schools, TWC.) - Gain a critical mass of people. (using media, PC)
- Pass laws that restrict industry and freedom.
- Increase central government control and increase
taxes. - Confiscate private property
- Abolish the free-market economic system.
- Establish a two class civilization
- The Elites
- And everyone else (slaves with no rights?).
39A JUDGE IN A SOCIALIST COUNTRY
- The edict Every school student in Britain is
required to be taught several untruths about Al
Gores An Inconvenient Truth movie before the
teacher is permitted to show it. - Info about Mt. Kilimanjaro untrue
- Info about seas rising untrue
- Global warming produced hurricane Katrina untrue
- Global warming destroying the Gulf Stream untrue
- Global warming is causing reef extinction untrue
- Global warming is causing species extinction
untrue.
40A bit of history regarding the silencing of views
opposed to the Left.
- Since about 1919 Marxists have been silencing any
opposition to socialist ideas and propaganda. - Under Joseph Stalins rule the opposition was
imprisoned, put in psychiatric hospitals or shot. - The same in Castros Cuba.
- The media (TV, radio, newspapers, magazines) were
only permitted to represent one view (Socialism). - Any movement away from the elitist government
position was met with instant and severe
judgment.
41- What is the actual evidence for global warming?
- Retreating glaciers
- Calving glaciers
- Polar bears swimming
- Increased CO2
- Etc.
42A CASE IN POINT
- Al Gore likes to point out that the Uppsala
glacier of Patagonia is retreating. - But Just fifty kilometers away from Uppsala is
Moreno, which is growing, and thereby calving.
Claims of Morenos retreat are typically danced
around without brazenly lying about it melting,
and are pure fabrication and illustrative of the
lengths to which environmentalists go to
dishonestly frighten people. Christopher Horner,
The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming
and Environmentalism, D.C.Regenery Pubs., 2007,
P. 223.
43- Horner continues Other much larger glaciers
nearby are advancing without the pleasure of
angst-ridden eco-tourists and pencil-gnawing
journalists. In fact, While in the same region
in Patagonia, either in the Argentinean or
Chilean sides, there are small glaciers on
retreat, there are other medium sized glaciers in
stable condition, and really big glaciers growing
at record speed and volume. http//mitosyfraude
s.8k.com/Ingles3/UpsalaEng.html. - For example, South Americas largest glacier,
Pio XI, is growing very quickly. The greens and
media just missed it, thats all, another case of
not seeing the forest for being busy hugging
trees. (Horner, p. 224)
44- Everyone complains about the weather, but no one
does anything about it. - Mark Twain, in what used to be a joke and now
passes for policy analysis. - Christopher Horner, p. 58
45PROVERBS 1412
- There is a way which seemeth right unto a man,
but the end thereof are the ways of death. - (DECEPTION)
46- Does earth have a history of environmental and
ecological disasters? - How did earth begin?
- According the Bible, the God of the Bible created
everything in six days and it was very good.
(Genesis 131) - It was also a warm climate with mild seasons
(Adam and Eve were both naked in the Garden of
Edenwarm and no clothing needed). - (Genesis 225)
47ON THIS EARLY EARTH
- It did not rain, for the LORD God had not
caused it to rain upon the earth, 6 But there
went up a mist from the earth, and watered the
whole face of the ground (Genesis 25-6). - Man and animal ate vegetation (Genesis 129, 30).
- There were mild seasons (Genesis 114).
- There was probably one land mass with 4 rivers
flowing out of the one river (Genesis 210-15). - The earth was pole to pole greenhouse warm (giant
trees and palm tree fossils in Alaska, broad leaf
ferns in the Antarctica, warm temp animals frozen
solid in New Siberian Islands, but today willows
1).
48THE FIRST ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER
- Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit (The Fall)
and the earth and everything in it was cursed. - cursed is the ground for thy sake in sorrow
shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life 18
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to
thee and thou shalt eat the herb of the field
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread,
till thou return unto the ground for out of it
wast thou taken for dust thou art, and unto dust
shalt thou return. Gen. 317b-19
491st Ecological disaster The Fall2nd Eco
disaster The Global Flood
- 11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the
earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked
upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt for
all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. - 13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh
is come before me for the earth is filled with
violence through them and, behold, I will
destroy them with the earth (Gen. 611-13). - 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and
forty nights (Gen. 712). THE FIRST RAIN!
50THE FIRST MIGHTY WIND
- 1 And God remembered Noah, and every living
thing, and all the cattle that was with him in
the ark and God made a wind to pass over the
earth, and the waters asswaged 2 The fountains
also of the deep and the windows of heaven were
stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained
3 And the waters returned from off the earth
continually and after the end of the hundred and
fifty days the waters were abated (Genesis
81-3).
51THE FIRST MENTION OF COLD WINTER
- 22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and
harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and
winter, and day and night shall not cease
(Genesis 821-22). - No longer mild seasons, but heat and cold
- FIRST RECORDED GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
- No longer harvest any time all year long.
- Earth now a harsher place to live
- After the Flood meat eating now approved by God
for man and animals (see Genesis 91-5).
52THE FIRST MENTION OF ICE AND SNOW
- 14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed
from his friend but he forsaketh the fear of the
Almighty. 15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully
as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass
away 16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice,
and wherein the snow is hid 17 What time they
wax warm, they vanish when it is hot, they are
consumed out of their place. Job 614-17
53- Ice and snow and hail and frost had a beginning
after the flood(Job 3829) 29Out of whose womb
came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who
hath gendered it? - Ice and snow are kept in storehouses which are
probably the polar ice caps (Job 3822) 22
Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow?
or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail?
(treasures, treasuries, storehouses)
541ST RECORDED MAJOR DROUGHTAn Environmental
Disaster
- 10 And there was a famine in the land and Abram
went down into Egypt to sojourn there for the
famine was grievous in the land (Genesis 1210). - The drought was so intense and prolonged that
Abraham was forced to move his family to Egypt to
find food and water.
55- Earlier I mentioned that at least 1007 years are
left to earth history before God burns it all up.
How can such a statement be made?
56Starting today more than 1000 years remain in
earth history!
- The Premillennial Escatological theological
position believes that the Creator Himself, the
Lord Jesus Christ, (see in the Bible John 1
Colossians 1 Hebrews 1) will leave His throne in
heaven to come to rule on earth from Jerusalem in
the last days before He destroys earth and all it
contains by fire. While He reigns the curse will
be removed and the earth will bring forth its
increase as not seen since the days of Adam and
Eve in the Garden of Eden.
57REVELATION 201-8
- 1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven,
having the key of the bottomless pit and a great
chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the
dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and
Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast
him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and
set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the
nations no more, till the thousand years should
be fulfilled and after that he must be loosed a
little season.
58- 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and
judgment was given unto them and I saw the souls
of them that were beheaded for the witness of
Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not
worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither
had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in
their hands and they lived and reigned with
Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the
dead lived not again until the thousand years
were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the
first resurrection on such the second death hath
no power, but they shall be priests of God and of
Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand
years. REVELATION 201-8
59- During this unique 1000 year reign of Creator
Jesus (John 1 Colossians 1 Hebrews 1) Who alone
is the Messiah and Savior of mankind (Isaiah 53
Psalm 22 John 3 Romans 323-24, 623, 58
109-13 1 John 510-13 Ephesians 28-10), the
curse caused by the sin of Adam which brought
disease, decay and death to planet earth (Romans
512, 1 Corinthians 1520-22) will be removed
(Acts 318-21). The fear between man and beast
initiated in Genesis 91-5 will be removed and
life-spans greatly increased for man and beast.
60ISAIAH 116-9
- 6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and
the leopard shall lie down with the kid and the
calf and the young lion and the fatling together
and a little child shall lead them. 7 And the cow
and the bear shall feed their young ones shall
lie down together and the lion shall eat straw
like the ox. 8 And the sucking child shall play
on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child
shall put his hand on the cockatrice den. 9
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy
mountain for the earth shall be full of the
knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the
sea.
61ISAIAH 6520b, 25
- For the child shall die an hundred years
old but the sinner being an hundred years old
shall be accursed. 25 The wolf and the lamb shall
feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like
the bullock and dust shall be the serpents
meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my
holy mountain, saith the LORD. - The Holy Bible King James Version. Oak Harbor,
WA Logos Research Systems, Inc., 1995, Isaiah
6520-25
62Jesus will rule for 1000 years during which time
the curse on earth is removed.
- 18 But those things, which God before had showed
by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ
should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. 19 Repent ye
therefore, and be converted, that your sins may
be blotted out, when the times of refreshing
shall come from the presence of the Lord 20 And
he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was
preached unto you 21 Whom the heaven must
receive until the times of restitution of all
things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all
his holy prophets since the world began.

68Wait just a minute
- Let us change one word in the preceding quote
- The continued rapid warming of the earth since
WWII is in accord with the increase in global air
pollution associated with industrialization,
mechanization, urbanization and exploding
population. - So industrialization, etc., caused cooling in the
1970s and the very same things are causing
warming in the 2000s? Hello!
69- The threat of a new ice age must now stand
alongside nuclear war as a likely source of
wholesale death and misery for mankind. - Nigel Calder, International Wildlife,

70Marlo Lewis
- Comment The so-called naysayersmore accurately,
non-alarmistsare a hardy breed, and their ranks
include many respected scientists, several dozen
of which recently argued in a letter to Canadian
Prime Minister Stephen Harper that, If, back in
the mid-1990s, we knew what we know today about
climate, Kyoto would almost certainly not exist,
because we would have concluded it was not
necessary.
71- Guess who the environmentalists exempted from
Kyoto? Two most environmentally unfriendly
nations in the world China and India. So this
warming crowd is not really about warming at
all. They want to ham-string and destroy western
Christian civilization. - As Reverend Jesse Jackson said Hey, Hey, Ho,
Ho, western Civ. has got to go!
72- Scientists have an independent obligation to
respect and present the truth as they see it. - Al Gore, An Inconvenient Truth
- Gores circumstantial arguments are so weak that
they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that
they , and his film, are commanding public
attention. - Professor Bob Carter, Marine Geophysical
Laboratory, James Cook University, Australia
73Christopher Horner, The Politically Incorrect
Guide to Global Warming
- Naturalisms modern successor, todays
environmentalism bordering on eco-theism, asserts
that the only way to preserve nature is through
state control of resources and liberties. By this
thinking, the falling Iron Curtain should have
revealed a green Eden, but we know that to be far
from the case.
74Horner continues
- Todays environmentalist comes in many
varieties, from ill-shaven undergrads to wealthy
elites, with myriad motivators driving this
activism. The modern environmentalists
motivation is generally not a love of biological
diversity or horticulture, not a desire to expand
animal habitats and so onthough these advocates
certainly do exist, in obscurity. - Instead, todays environmentalist is generally
anti- something, and that something is
typically related to growth economic growth,
population growth,
75- physical development, or simply the individual
property rights necessary for growth. Cute panda
logos and other kitsch aside, outside of the rare
breeds arguing in favor of one cause or another,
todays environmentalist is removed in scope and
degree from his naturalist ancestors.

- Should we be worried?
- Can we build a relative model from the Bible
about past climates? - What does historical data really tell us?
- What does current data really tell us?
- Should we be worried?
83A little perspective
- There are ominous signs that the Earths weather
patterns have begun to change dramatically and
that these changes may portend a drastic decline
in food production with serious political
implications for just about every nation on
Earth.1 - The evidence in support of these predictions has
now begun to accumulate so massively that
meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with
it.1 - Last April, in the most devastating outbreak of
tornadoes ever recorded, 148 twisters killed more
than 300 people and caused half a billion
dollars' worth of damage in 13 U.S. states. 1
84A little perspective
- Meteorologists disagree about the cause and
extent of the trend, as well as over its specific
impact on local weather conditions. But they are
almost unanimous in the view that the trend will
reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of
the century. If the climatic change is as
profound as some of the pessimists fear, the
resulting famines could be catastrophic.1 - Climatologists are pessimistic that political
leaders will take any positive action to
compensate for the climatic change, or even to
allay its effects.1 - The longer the planners delay, the more
difficult will they find it to cope with climatic
change once the results become grim reality.1
85A little perspective
- 1 April 28, 1975 Newsweek
- The Cooling World by Peter Gwynne
- Others regard the cooling as a reversion to the
little ice age conditions that brought bitter
winters to much of Europe and northern America
between 1600 and 1900
86Junk Science
- Junk science? www.junkscience.com
- "Junk science" is faulty scientific data and
analysis used to advance special and, often,
hidden agendas. The junk science "mob" includes
the following samples - MEDIA - sensational headlines and programming
- PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS - bamboozle juries into
awarding huge verdicts - SOCIAL ACTIVISTS - achieve social and political
change. - GOVERNMENT REGULATORS - expand their authority to
increase their budgets. - POLITICIANS - curry favor with special interest
groups or to be "politically correct."
87Junk Science (www.junkscience.com)
- Top 10 Junk Science Moments for 2006
- 1 - Some Real Inconvenient Truth. Al Gore whipped
the world into a global warming frenzy with his
doomsday documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. - 3 - What Hurricane Season? The National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administrations prediction for
the 2006 hurricane season was about as wrong as
wrong can be.
88- Global warming alarmism is the bread and butter
of a host of special interests. The perception
that global warming is something to be very
worried about is the sine qua non of billions of
dollars in annual government contracts to
researchers and universities, and millions of
dollars in annual direct mail contributions to
eco-activist groups. Insurance companies like
Swiss Re profit from spreading alarm, because it
gives them a convenient pretext to raise the
premiums they charge to cover weather-related
damages. News magazines like Time profit from
spreading alarm, because scary stories and
scarier covers sell copy.
89AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH
- Admittedly the weather is warming some
scientists tell us it has increased 0.7 or 0.8
degrees during the last one hundred years, hardly
enough to raise the ocean levels one inch
worldwidea far cry from the outrageously
dogmatic twenty inches Al Gore is predicting in
his scientifically flawed movie that is being
shown all over America to our innocent school
children. The reason is simple the public
schools are controlled by leftists worldly
wisdom teachers with an agenda. Tim LeHaye
90FOR YOUR INFORMATION March 21,07Al Gore
testified before the US Senate
- Under the normal rules, a witness's statement
before a congressional committee is limited to 15
minutes, and a written version must be submitted
at least 48 hours before the hearing. Gore
demanded 30 minutes and was given it, requested
permission to submit his written testimony only
24 hours before the hearing and was granted it,
and then failed to meet that deadline. His
written testimony did not reach the Democrat
staff members of the House Energy and Commerce
Committee until about 1 a.m. Wednesday, just 9
hours before the hearing--and Republican staff
did not receive their copies until 7 a.m., six
hours later than the Democrats and just 3 hours
before the hearing. Committee members and their
staffs normally review written statements in
advance in order to prepare for questioning.
91- Media reports showcased Gore's testimony.
Citizens who depended on the media would have had
a difficult time detecting a very inconvenient
truth for Gore His oral testimony, though filled
with claims of impending catastrophe and
recommendations for responses the benefits of
which he boasted would outweigh the costs, was
woefully short on specific details of scientific
and economic data, documentation, and
argumentation. His written testimony
(http//energycommerce.house.gov/cmte_mtgs/110-eaq
-hrg.032107.Gore-testimony.pdf), a mere three
pages, reads, to put it bluntly, as if written by
a precocious sixth-grade student no more familiar
with the issue than if he'd read a few hundred
headlines in the popular media.
E. Calvin Beisner
92- In contrast, Dr. Lomborg's written testimony
(http//energycommerce.house.gov/cmte_mtgs/110-eaq
-hrg.032107.Lomborg-testimony.pdf) is a
masterpiece of well-informed scholarship.
Twenty-three pages long, including four pages of
references to technical sources, it is filled
with hard data, documentation to authoritative
sources, and clear and cogent argumentation.
Lomborg's testimony explicitly and convincingly
proves many of Gore's most important and
frightening claims to be false and indeed
irresponsible. His written testimony reads, to
put it bluntly, as if written by a Ph.D.'d
specialist in the field (which he is) who
diligently dug beneath headlines to solid
information.
93- While we at the Interfaith Stewardship Alliance
E. Calvin Beisner do not agree that current
warming is mostly manmade (for reasons, see the
"Call to Truth," at http//www.interfaithstewardsh
ip.org/pdf/CalltoTruth.pdf, and "Important
Developments on Global Warming in 2006,"
at http//www.interfaithstewardship.org/pdf/Global
WarmingSummary2006.pdf), we wholeheartedly agree
that taking Gore's advice will cost millions of
lives.
94- It will force the world's poorest people to
continue for decades or generations using wood
and dried dung as their primary heating and
cooking fuels, causing indoor air pollution that
kills nearly 2 million every year. It will slow
their economic development and hence their
ability to leave behind the contaminated drinking
water and untreated sewage that kill another 2
million or more every year. It will delay their
ability to afford measures to overcome hunger,
malnutrition, and infectious diseases, together
costing more millions of lives each year.
95- The New Age 10 Commandments on 20 foot tall

- Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual
balance with nature. - Targeted date in 1975 2025
96- The Chilling Stars A New Theory of Climate
Change will re-ignite the heated debate about the
causes of global warming. In their controversial
new book, Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark and
British science writer Nigel Calder affirm that
its not manmade carbon dioxide thats at fault
for global warming, but natural forces at work in
the universe. Its a radical departure from
prevailing popular belief, and a theory that
Svensmark and Calder argue for eloquently and
persuasively in this new landmark book. -
- A Compelling Theory Backed by Intensive Research
-
97- Wayne Grudem says Gores environmental push runs
contrary to what the Bible says about mans
relationship to creation - he is told to rule
over it in Genesis 128 - as well as what the
Bible says about the wisdom of God in Proverbs
319-20 19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the
earth by understanding hath he established the
heavens. 20 By his knowledge the depths are
broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew. I
find it highly doubtful that the Lord would set
the earth up in such a way that we would destroy
it by obeying His command, Grudem said. And
yet, thats exactly what the alarmists would have
us think.
98- Our weather super-cycles are quite normal and
are in reality due to cyclical changes in tilt of
the earth's rotational axis and path of
revolution around the sun (do a Google search on
"Milankovitch cycles"). We are not going to move
the earth's axis or rotational path by changing
to a different type of light bulb. The notion
that we can is nothing more than Satan's idea "I
will be like the most high" (Isa 1414). - David Bueche, (personal e-mail)
99- So the real issue in the global warming battle
iswho is in control! - Is the God of all creation in control or is man
in control? - Do we worship Goddess Mother Earth (The Gaia
Principle-Hypothesis) or do we worship God
Almighty of the Bible?
100- It appears that Al Gore, the leading evangelist
of the global warming propaganda machine worships
mother earth. - He says (Earth in the Balance, p. 260) Europe
and much of the world was based on the worship of
a single earth goddess, who was assumed to be the
fount of all life.The last vestige of organized
goddess worship was eliminated by Christianity. - Christians are the bad guys (see p. 260-264)
1012 PETER 35-7
- 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that
by the word of God the heavens were of old, and
the earth standing out of the water and in the
water 6 Whereby the world that then was, being
overflowed with water, perished flood of Noahs
day, Genesis 6-8 7 But the heavens and the
earth, which are now, by the same word are kept
in store, reserved unto fire against the day of
judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
1022 PETER 310
- 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief
in the night in the which the heavens shall pass
away with a great noise, and the elements shall
melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the
works that are therein shall be burned up.
1031 THESSALONIANS 51-4
- 1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye
have no need that I write unto you. 2 For
yourselves know perfectly that the day of the
Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For
when they shall say, Peace and safety then
sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail
upon a woman with child and they shall not
escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness,
that that day should overtake you as a thief.
104- Moreover, the "global warming" over which the
liberals are so terrified are normal weather
super-cycles Gen 821, 22 - As long as the
earth remains, God will not curse the world any
more for man's sake, nor destroy all living
things (i.e., not only by flood, but by any
means). Normal cycles (seedtime harvest,
summer winter, HEAT and COLD) will continue as
long as the earth exists.

Deeper ice is pressed into finer layers so 4400
years to accumulate the ice at the poles is no
problem! Note - The planes do not sink in
the ice due to pressure on the ice. Planes are
nose heavy and would not be horizontal if they
sank.

114- 1) Does God Himself ever bring changes to the
weather? Yes, and often in judgment 10
Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from
dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. 11
And I called for a drought upon the land, and
upon the mountains, and upon the corn, Haggai
110-11 - 2) Is the world today so innocent that it does
not deserve a bit of drought? Will man's actions
(less CO2 different light bulbs) change God's
judgment on humankinds rebellion against Him?
(Job 407, 8) - Wilt thou also disannul My judgment? wilt thou
condemn Me, that thou mayest be righteous?
115Tim Lehaye, Pre-Trib Perspectives,Vol. VIII No.
46 June 2007, p.2
- You will see why these same educated leftists
have so overwhelmingly accepted Al Gores grossly
unscientific and outrageous claims of a coming
world catastrophe due to global warming. They
accept as facts the doomsday prognostications of
the left leaning scientists or scholars what
the weather will be 30-50 years from now while
these same experts cant be relied on more than a
50/50 chance to be right in predicting the
weather fifteen days from now.
116LeHaye continues
- We note that they dont offer to debate competent
scientists who refute Gores science and faulty
reasoning they just shout louder. That is their
style. They cant knowledgably debate the issues
nor will they allow an opposing side to present
the truth as we see it they ridicule those who
disagree and demonstrate against them in the name
of free speech, but they forbid opposing views
a fair hearing
117A bit of history regarding the silencing of views
opposed to the Left.
- Since about 1919 Marxists have been silencing any
opposition to socialist ideas and propaganda. - Under Joseph Stalins rule the opposition was
imprisoned, put in psychiatric hospitals or shot. - The same in Castros Cuba.
- The media (TV, radio, newspapers, magazines) were
only permitted to represent one view (Socialism). - Any movement away from the elitist government
position was met with instant and severe
judgment.
118PROVERBS 1412
- There is a way which seemeth right unto a man,
but the end thereof are the ways of death. - (DECEPTION)
119- The worldviews of Satans World System are all
based on deception!
1201 CHRONICLES 1232
- ... the children of Issachar, which were men
that had understanding of the times, to know what
Israel ought to do the heads of them were 200
and all their brethren were at their
commandment. - KJV
121COLOSSIANS 28
- BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL YOU THROUGH PHILOSOPHY
AND VAIN DECEIT, AFTER THE TRADITION OF MEN,
AFTER THE RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD, AND NOT AFTER
CHRIST. - KJV
122- There is Biblical Christianity and then there are
various worldviews. - The study of worldviews ends up a comparison and
contrast of true, Biblical Christianity against
all of the deceptive choices of worldviews that
Satans world system has to offer. - What do I believe about life and all of its basic
building blocks? - Where can I find the Truth?
123- Who determines what is true
- Man
- Or
- God?
124JOHN 8 32
- And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free.
125JOHN 1717-19
- Jesus said
- 17 Sanctify them through thy truth thy word
is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world,
even so have I also sent them into the world. 19
And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they
also might be sanctified through the truth.
126PSALM 11911
- Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might
not sin against Thee.
1271 CORINTHIANS 117-21
- 17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to
preach the gospel not with wisdom of words, lest
the cross of Christ should be made of none
effect. 18 For the preaching of the cross is to
them that perish foolishness but unto us which
are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is
written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and will bring to nothing the understanding of
the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the
scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath
not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by
wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the
foolishness of preaching to save them that
believe.
1281 CORINTHIANS 214
- 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things
of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness
unto him neither can he know them, because they
are spiritually discerned.
1291 CORINTHIANS 317-20
- God says to Christians Know ye not that ye are
the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple
of God, him shall God destroy for the temple of
God is holy, which temple ye are. - 18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among
you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him
become a fool, that he may be wise. 19 For the
wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For
it is written, He taketh the wise in their own
craftiness. 20 And again, The Lord knoweth the
thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

131- According to the Bible in the Beginning
everything was very good. - Adam was given dominion over the earth.
- Then came sin and the curse.
- Dominion over the earth was taken from Adam and
given to Satan (Matt. 48-10)
132John 1231 1430 1611
- 31 Now is the judgment of this world now shall

the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing
in me. - 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world
is judged.
1332 Corinthians 43, 4
- 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them
that are lost 4 In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

world lies in the power of the evil one.
135Ephesians 21, 2
- 1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in
trespasses and sins 2 Wherein in time past ye
walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit that now worketh in the children of
disobedience 3 Among whom also we all had our
conversation in times past in the lusts of our
flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of
the mind and were by nature the children of
wrath, even as others.

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is
he. Proverbs 237
140- One worldview that is dominant in radical
environmentalist and global warming circles is
Postmodernism. - Postmodernists are evolutionists who worship the
creature rather than the Creator (Romans 125). - The university campuses of the world are full of
postmodernist professors.
141POSTMODERNISTS CLAIM
- There are no truths which apply to all of us.
- There are no absolute moral standards.
- There are no absolute ethical concerns.
- There is no God.
- There are personal opinions.
- There are personal perspectives.
- See the writings of Nietzsche, Derrida, Lyotard,
Ricouer, Foucault, Rorty, Baudrillard, etc. - Most Postmodernist thinkers are/were
disillusioned Marxists.
142MARXISTS AND POSTMODERNISTS ARE ATHEISTS.
- Atheism is the theological belief that there is
no God, no supernatural Creator, no Divine moral
law giver, and no ultimate Judge of mans
actions. It is the theological backbone of not
only Secular Humanism and Marxism, but it is also
the predominant theological view of classical
Postmodernism (David Noebel, Understanding the
Times, p. 77).
143POSTMODERNIST RICHARD RORTY
- I might have written an account of how even
atheists like myself are impressed, improved and
morally instructed by reading Pilgrims Progress.
144ROMANS 119-22
- 19 Because that which may be known of God is
manifest in them for God hath shewed it unto
them. 20 For the invisible things of him from
the creation of the world are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made, even his
eternal power and Godhead so that they are
without excuse 21 Because that, when they knew
God, they glorified him not as God, neither were
thankful but became vain in their imaginations,
and their foolish heart was darkened. 22
Professing themselves to be wise, they became
fools,
145- We mentioned earlier how the dominant straight
society has apparently not recognized the
strength and pervasiveness of the new
consciousness culture. ..so far a polarization
between the old culture Western Christianity
and the new one has been avoided 1982. If the
New Age Movement does become a target of alarmed
forces and defenders of the status quo ante,
however, it will offer a widely dispersed and
decentralized target, very hard to identify and
impossible to dissuade or subvert from its
life-serving values. - New Age Postmodernist at the U.N., Donald Keyes,
Earth at Omega, p.88
146- Disillusioned Marxists became Postmodernists and
now gain strength through Multiculturalism and
its stepchild, Political Correctness, which is
rightly labeled, Cultural Marxism. - Marx and Lenin taught that, given the chance,
European workers would overthrow capitalist
governments and replace them with communism. - But after the Russian revolution of 1917 the
Western European workers did not support the
Communist revolution or ideas. - Why not?
147- Christianity and its moral and ethical absolutes
was the roadblock to the expansion of Marxism. - This roadblock was noticed by two Marxist
theorists in 1919 Italian, Antonio Gramsci and
Hungarian, Georg Lukacs. - These two men decided that the spread of
Communism could only be accomplished if Western
Christian culture was destroyed. - So Lukacs introduced sex education into the
public schools of Hungary,1919, believing that if
children knew more about sex their lust for it
would overpower their Christian morals!
148- So Gramsci and Lukacs laid the groundwork to
change communism from economic terms (ownership
of private property is evil) into cultural terms.
(tolerance, sex ed, drug ed, change, etc.) - Changedepart from old, intolerant ways.
- Then in 1923 at Frankfurt University in Germany
the Institute for Social Research was
establishedThe Frankfurt School. - The Frankfurt School moved to New York City in
1933 when Hitler came to power. - Theorists like Wilhelm Reich, Eric Fromm, Max
Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse, etc.
149- The Frankfurt School invented Critical Theory
which had the goal of demonizing all traditional
institutions such as family, fatherhood,
patriotism, Bible-believing churches, traditions,
etc. - The Frankfurt School published Studies in
Prejudice which taught that anyone who believes
in traditional Western Christian culture is
prejudiced, a racist or sexist or fascist
or is mentally unstable. - Mixing Freud with Marx, they perfected the
technique of psychological conditioningthus, for
example, TV shows abortion to be normal behavior. - TV shows Christians to be crazy, intolerant,
bigoted, judgmental fools.
150- Herbert Marcuse, working with Hollywood friends,
became a leading evangelist of Cultural Marxism
(Political Correctness) especially on the
university campuses of USA. - In his book Eros and Civilization
