Correct me if I am wrong, but weren’t we supposed to be covered in water by now? Weren’t we supposed to be sweating it out in sauna-like conditions because of “global warming?” Unless I missed something, isn’t snow and record cold temperatures sorta like, ummm, NOT a sign Santa is going to be wearing a tank-top and speedos?
Just listen to some of what is going on right now:
- Thousands of people in Paris, France had to spend the night in shelters after the city was hit with more snow than it has seen in 25 years (http://in.reuters.com/article/idINIndia-53454820101209).
- England is experiencing freeze-your-tail-off weather like nothing a living soul has ever seen. As a matter of fact, England hasn’t seen a December this cold since the pre-global warming days of 1659. That’s not a misprint, folks. 16-freaking-59!! http://www.accuweather.com/ukie/bastardi-europe-blog.asp?partner=accuweather
- Oh, and check this out. I have watched Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reigndeer enough to know that Christmas was almost cancelled, but that was fiction. This, however, is a story from UK that is predicting exactly that – Christmas may have to be cancelled! http://www.metro.co.uk/news/849754-forecasters-warn-christmas-could-be-cancelled-as-cold-weather-grips-uk
- And I can’t keep my dadgum house warm!
Al Gore said in a speech to the National Sierra Club, Sept. 9, 2005, “The warnings about global warming have been extremely clear for a long time. We are facing a global climate crisis. It is deepening. We are entering a period of consequences.” Really? Well, Al, don’t blame me if I am confused, ok? I would have thought that if the world was warming, then we shouldn’t be breaking 351 year old cold temperature records, or thinking of bringing back Rudolph to help Santa navigate through the snow storms.
There is no question that, if we looked, we could see evidence of change in global weather patterns over the years. The thing that has to be remembered is that weather has changed and will continue to change, but man has nothing to do with it. As a matter of fact, it is the One who created the weather that has it in His control.
Are there any among the false gods of the nations that can bring rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Are you not he, O LORD our God? We set our hope on you, for you do all these things. – Jer 14:22 ESV
I say that we don’t put our trust in the Al Gores of the world, but in the Saviour of the world, Jesus. After all, we can blow all the hot air we want, but it was Jesus who spoke to the wind, and there was a great calm (Psalm 107:29; Mark 4:39).
He can calm the storms in your life, too.
