    You claim to live in California. Did you visit L.A. in the 60s? The smog was so bad your eyes would burn. I'm not a Scientist, but that seemed unhealthy.

    As True Bible believing Christians™, we have a much better understanding about the fate of this planet than any Biologist, Environmentalist, or so-called scientist because we have a personal relationship with the Fellow who created this whole place to begin with! Friends, as True Christians™ then, being familiar with the Holy Bible gives you more authority than anyone who holds a post-graduate degree! That's something to be proud of - don't wince about it! And don't let people call you crazy! God's Holy Scriptures give the poorest farmer's servant in our congregation the power to win an argument with a Bio-Chemist, or a Nuclear Physicist - without even knowing a lick about what them folks studied in their fancy secular universities! What these ignorant unsaved, over-educated folks don't understand is that they can gather all the data, all the research and present all the facts they care to collect about any subject under the sun - but when you hold it next to child-like faith in the Almighty God, the most learned Evolutionist or Environmentalist, will widen their blind eyes in awe, and cower in fear at the truth of God's Word! Praise Jesus! For the simple truth, we need only look to our old children's Sunday School song, "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands!" Oh, GLORY!


    Anyone who has read the Bible and believes every word will agree that worrying about our environment and trying to conserve energy (among other things) is an act of defiance against the Living God. Friends, the Lord will take care of everything. God made the Earth and the Heavens and if He wants to destroy it all, He will! In fact, one of the things that makes folks True Christians™ in the first place is that we are PRAYING for the destruction of this planet.

    When Jesus returns is when you will see real global warming.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    From your article:

    “When Robin Wall Kimmerer spoke at Union last year, she concluded her lecture by tasking us—and all faith communities—to develop new liturgies by which to mourn, grieve, heal and change in response to our climate emergency,” one UTS tweet said. “We couldn’t be prouder to participate in this work.”

    Have you ever read her book, "Braiding Sweetgrass"? I highly recommend it. She is a Native woman with a PhD in plant ecology and botany, and a long career as professor at SUNY-ESF, where she blends TEK (Traditional Ecological Knowledge) with modern science. She has occasionally lectured at my university, and I hope to hear her on her next visit.

    Braiding Sweetgrass is part memoir and part ode to our planet and all her lifeforms. Before you sneer at others' beliefs, you might consider learning more about them.

    I lived in the area in the 60's. This isn't about smog JackOff; the topic is climate crisis. Can you define what climate change is and what is in crisis instead of wandering off topic like a buffoon.

    Focus JackOff; I know you can do it if you try.

    Truth: how is the future at stake? Define climate crisis and climate change.

    No they are not; what proof do you have? Are you aware of all the previous claims and warnings that have been proven to be dead wrong from the past?

    P.S. The earth will be around long after man has disappeared from the earth.

    Those aren't facts Jack. Sociologists are the last people you should trust when it comes to science Jack.

    Jack, did you know that 29% of Earth is land mass. Of that 29% humans occupy less than 1% of that area. Of the remaining 28% about 40% is pure wilderness. 14% is true desert and 15% has desert like characteristics. 9% is Antarctica. Most of the remaining 22% are agricultural areas.

    The notion that there is no more room on the planet for humans is laughably stupid.
