Throughout the centuries prophets of doom have abounded, and ours is no exception. For instance, in the last century (yes, I’m that old) we had the Oil Crisis of the 1960s. At that time civilisation was doomed to return to the stone age as we ran out of oil, strange it never happened.
Then in the 1970s Scientists predicted that another ice-age was a certainty, but now it’s the opposite, evidently a new breed of impartial Scientists predicts that we’re going to cook the planet, which happens to be the theme of this article. But before we go there, no work of fiction on Climate Change would be complete without mentioning a few of the other dire predictions, that never happened.
Another decade - another catastrophe
Well, it seems we have at least one catastrophe predicted per decade. Let’s start in the 1980’s where Acid Rain would fall from the sky, decimating the crops and causing similar desolation to that of the Ten Plagues visited on the Egyptians. Not surprisingly, the global famine predicted, didn’t happen.
What about the hole in the Ozone Layer that was scientifically predicted in the 1990s? According to Climate Scientists we had 10 years left before we were toasted. Anyway, it didn’t happen, we’re still here, without even a sun tan.
Then there’s our good friend Al Gore who predicted (in 2009) that all the polar ice caps will melt in 5 years, and we’d need to either swim or row to work. Last time I looked the north and south poles still have plenty of ice.
Then the craziest of all was from our green mate Prof Tim Flannery who told us that it would never rain again and our cities would run out of water, and we’ll all die of thirst. He forecasted this inevitable disaster back in the 2010s. But the problem for him was that it rained too much and now Sydney Water is up to its neck in surplus water. And by-the-way Lismore NSW was devasted by the deluge which was predicted not to fall.
And now for the latest climate catastrophe courtesy of the WEF
Forget about the War on Drugs or the War on Terrorism, there’s a new war to be waged; the War on Carbon. Evidently, according to the luminaires who rule the world (WEF) and our fawning leaders in Government, the existential crisis which promises to destroy all life on the planet is…Carbon.
Carbon is the enemy, even though life could not exist without carbon, (cell membranes, DNA, proteins and a host of other essential compounds necessary for life are built on Carbon). Nonetheless when it assumes the form of CO2 it’s lethal. You know…follow the science.
Here’s the kicker, guess what percentage of the atmosphere is composed of CO2? No it’s not 4%, it is not even 0.4% but 0.04%, which means that every litre of air we breathe, 0.40mls of it contains CO2, which is not even ½ ml of CO2, per litre.
Notwithstanding this miniscule amount of deadly CO2, the Elites who run the world have by every clandestine means possible convinced millions, maybe billions that we’ll be burnt to a crisp unless we take drastic measures to reduce it. Welcome to ‘Carbon Net Zero’.
Doesn’t the data prove the planet is heating up?
Well, does it? You see, measuring the surface temperature of earth is problematic. There are too many variables which make the data unreliable.
Determined to remove measurement unreliability from the data. Dr John Christy approached NASA with a new method. They designed instruments, placed them on satellites which could measure deep atmospheric temperatures, which don’t suffer from the vicissitudes of earth temperature fluctuations.
And yes, the data collected over the last 30 years showed that the atmosphere has warmed by a massive… 1/10 of a degree per decade. He also went on to construct data sets for rainfall, drought, snowfall, flooding, heatwaves and hurricanes, dating back to 1890s in the USA.
Guess what? There has not been any significant statistical change in any of these metrics in 150 years. So why the media hysteria? Why do we have Henny Penny frantically warning us the sky is falling in?
Not just a war on carbon, but a war on farming as well
It’s not only Fossil Fuels in the cross-hairs of the WEF, but family farming also. You’d be sleeping under a rock, if you haven’t heard about the Dutch Governments buyout of small and profitable farms in Holland or the intention of the Irish Government to cull over 200,000 dairy cows, by 2025. And a host of other policies to destroy the family farm, being implemented globally.
The Elites are busy demonising the farmers who feed us (through the lame stream Media), in order to force them out of the industry and then step in and take over.
We have Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Finance, Big Energy and now the next take over: Big Agriculture. We’re witness to the centralisation of power and control into the hands of a few. When they control our health, our money (CBCDs) and our food, they control us. Remember, you’ll own nothing, and be happy.
The Most High God reigns
What is our response to this gloom and doom? God has made certain immutable promises. Let’s take a look at them.
1. God made a promise (Genesis chapter 8) that after the Flood, the world would never be destroyed again by a cataclysm. There will be spring time and harvest until the Parousia. Therefore, Christians should not be swept away by Climate Catastrophist’s narrative.
2. The Bible unequivocally declares that there will never be a ‘One World Government’ (Daniel chapter 2, Psalm chapter 2, Isaiah chapters 9 and 11).
3. Jesus said that as it was in the days of Noah, so it shall be at his Parousia. They were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage. Life as usual and no man-made catastrophe will end the world.
Our God reigns let the earth rejoice. Amen
