To the Editor:
Canada has pulled out of the Kyoto accord. This is a good thing. The climate is changing; don’t worry, be happy! I think everyone would sleep better if they had some solid science and information to ease their green worries. Though I don’t support its references to evolution, I recommend the DVD The Great Global Warming Swindle. Anyone interested can borrow the copy at the Creston and District Public Library (thanks, library), buy it online or watch it at YouTube.
Should we stop taking care of the Earth? No, it’s our home, for now, and the Bible clearly states that God will destroy those who destroy the Earth. (Revelation 11:18) God calls us to be good stewards of everything He has given us. Yet there is nothing wrong with industry. It’s only when corruption comes into any equation that things turn abusive.
Could corruption come into things like accords? Has anyone looked into how the drafters of these climate treaties are big proponents of population control? They’re not thinking paper or plastic; they’re thinking population control and population reduction. It’s this kind of thinking that is the enemy of humanities future, not CO2.
In the greenhouse gas “family”, CO2 makes up a very small percentage. What is one of the biggest? H2O — that’s right, water! Should we ban water?
Watch The Great Global Warming Swindle, including the extras, and relax. Let’s take care of the Earth and humanity. Remember, we can’t save this planet; it “shall wax old like a garment.”(Isaiah 51:6) We need Jesus Christ, the Creator and re-creator, whose “salvation shall be forever” and whose “righteousness shall not be abolished.” (Isaiah 51:6).
His solution? He promised, “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.” (Isaiah 65:17) This truth is echoed in Revelation 21:1, where the apostle John stated, “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away.”
Jesus is the hope of humanity, not weak human political bodies that try to control countries and individuals through corrupt laws, force and coercion, dissolution of sovereignty and cessation of rights.
I applaud Canada for withdrawing from the Kyoto accord. We should not “follow a multitude to do evil.” (Exodus 23:2)
