Here is a story. Many years ago, before there were people, the Earth was hot from volcanic eruptions and conditions for life were difficult. Over years, Nature (helped by God, of course) managed to secrete the excess carbon that was acidifying the seas, overwhelming the atmosphere and causing excessive heat, deep underground. Plant life, which drew the carbon from the air into itself, gradually died, taking its carbon with it, and turning into oil deposits deep beneath the surface of the planet. Life flourished on Earth. At last, humans were created. As soon as this most intelligent of all beings became aware of the wealth of oil deposits beneath ground, what did they do? As fast as we could, we exhumed this buried carbon and returned it again to the atmosphere. Most intelligent of all beings? We are now again at risk of an uninhabitable Earth.
Why do humans keep thinking that they can create better than God can? Science is a valid way of understanding, but arrogant science leads to disconnection with the Earth and with God’s laws of nature.
Drill, baby , drill, so we can become richest and most powerful of all, warring with others and trying to make everyone do what we want, instead of trying to discern what God wants? Do we really want to keep on drilling?

The ones that want the rest of us to “go green” are the ones flying around on their private jets to all sorts of destinations, including (of all ironies) arriving at global climate meetings on their private jets, leaving huge carbon footprints. Oil and natural gas are naturally occurring sources of energy we can utilize without destroying the environment, electric car batteries are far worse for the environment and rely on fossil fuel to charge them – so might as well just use the fossil fuel to begin with to power our cars – then no horrendous batteries to dispose of “safely”? Better to use fossil fuel to power our cars than to charge the batteries for them. China is the big polluter but we continue to do business with them while not holding them to any environmental or green standard. Not using what is right at our fingertips to use in nature (fossil fuels) makes no sense and is proving a hardship on most people because of high gas prices and everything else that goes up as a result of high gas prices. We are the caretakers of this earth, but we can be good stewards of the bounty God has given us in this earth, use what He has given us and take care of the earth at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive. Wind turbines are killing so much bird life – why are the environmentalists not up in arms about protecting our wildlife from these wind turbines? So called “environmentalists” don’t care about the environment, just about global control achieved under the guise of “climate change” activism. As if we humans are in charge of “climate control”? That’s Almighty God who is Sovereign over all He has created. Lord, let the truth of these ways of controlling us in the name of controlling the climate be known and help us to be good stewards of Your creation while not inflicting needless hardship on ourselves and others. http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com
