im not done talking about this global warming idea. someone recently pointed out how stupid i was for coming to the conclusion that global warming isnt true because it is cold in tennessee.. i thought that was kind of funny.
i will explain myself a little more. some of you have heard me talk about this before but i want to be even more clear. this is what i think about global warming. first of all i am not convinced that the earth is really in that much danger. it may be a little warmer than usual but its such a relative thing. warmer than what? warmer than it was a few years ago? ok, so what. in the past 5000 years, have we ever seen higher than normal temperatures? if not then maybe it is a concern. if so then ok, we survived. my point is that we dont even know what an average temperature is. like i said before, it seems really arrogant to say that there is absolute evidence that the world is in eminent danger. how do we know that the earth isnt supposed to heat up and cool down from time to time? im just saying, it seems arrogant for a scientist who is only been educated by a university and is 50 or 60 years old to say how hot or cold the earth is supposed to be.
are there cause and effects? of course.our friends in europe have been saying that in some places the temperatures are much colder than usuall. some say the world is cooling off and we are in danger of a coming ice age. ok, whatever you say. in some places the world is heating up and in some places it is cooling off. so which is it? some say that mars is also heating up.
i dont know, im not an expert. im not a scientist. i dont even care that much about it. but you may say that we must act quickly so we can save the polar bears. yep they are cute, i know.
i think that we as humans should be responsible. christians should be responsible too. (yes christians are human). i think we should make every effort to be responsible and be good stewards of the resources and the planet that we have been given. i love this place. its absolutely beautiful here. but here is where i get sideways. if we as christians would give a crap about people more than polar bears then maybe we would begin to get the point. i think that save the planet is a distraction from saving the people. what i am saying is this. be very careful how you read this, i wanna be very clear. when we put the planet above people we have lost our minds. there are people starving to death in a little country called haiti. it is a 90 minutes flight from florida. people are dying from lack of food and water right now as i write this. we have diverted our budgets, attention, energy, and resources to saving the planet and have turned our backs on people. people matter. have we really gotten this freaking stupid???? seriously?? we spend more time spending money and resources on things out of fear. so what if a polar bear is struggling to find his next meal. i think that people are a little more important.
anyway, i hope i have made my point clear. im not an expert on anything. i just have observations. i hope that i use some common sense as i approach the world. i may seem like i have it figured out but i dont. i think we need to get off our butts and do what really matters. global warming may or may not be a reality but i do know that people is what matter the most.
