So, we face climate change. Doubtless the wealthy west will survive. But the poor in Africa, Latin America, and southern Asia face some tough times ahead. Given this situation what is the appropriately ethical response? I have some ideas, but before I launch into them, I want to open up the forum to your thoughts.

Best wishes, 2RM.

Per Jesus we are to love our neighbor as ourselves and since God sees no difference in a soul well..........

Another question morally, is our neighbor just to be a believer ?

Btw, I don't believe in climate change. God has everything planned according to his will.

There have been times and seasons since creation so..........

There have been periods of climate change before; at least twice. First was the ice age and then came the thaw. And perhaps even the flood might be called a climate change.

Hi Pearl,

The difference between what happened before and what is happening now, is that the scientists tell us this bout of climate change is that the wealthy has caused/is causing it. It is very much our fault, which is what makes it a moral issue.

Best wishes, 2RM.

False cries of "global warming" are used to enslave people. Is that good? Ethical? No, it's not.

Much love!

The earth temps go up and down over the centuries . . . Just like the other planets.

"Man made global warming" is a lie used to enslave people though taxation and deprivation, as those who would rule the world claim "moral high ground", asserting that man changes the earth's climate, even though it's the sun and it's cycles that does that.

50 years ago, it was the "coming ice age". Now it's "global warming". What next? A gun to your head. That's what the end game is.

Much love!

Are you enslaved? And why do you think scientists, whose reputations ride on the accuracy of their predictions, would utter 'false cries'?

We’ve had “less than ten years” for nearly fifty years now. Listening to the global warming prophets of doom will lead to economic destruction, and worse.

If the scientists are right, there won't be an economy left to destroy.

Which scientists?

The data does not support global warming. Follow the science. Mars is warming. Do people cause that?

It's just one more phoney claim to give certain people "the right" to tell others that "you can't fly jets around, only I can", "you can't live in a nice home, only I can", and it goes on like that.

Do you really think Al Gore believes his private jets and his mansions are ruining the earth? Hypocrits galore in this "global warming" farce!

Maintain reputation among the "elite". Peer pressure. Lots of reasons that so-called scientists buy into lies, like man-made global warming, add to that evolution, add to that transgenderism, it just goes on and on.

At the end of the day, people want power over other people, and Satan wants to destroy mankind. That's what you are seeing.

Much love!

They are right. Global temps are not determined by cow farts. Seriously!

Psuedo-science, that's another thing entirely.

Much love!

As I understand the situation, it is not methane from cows, but CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels that is the major threat.

Best wishes, 2RM.

Prior to 1975 the scientists were warning of another ice age.

The hottest it has ever been where I live, since records have been kept, occurred in 1936.

Precisely. The variation between an expected cold period, and the exceptional heat we are experiencing, is climate change in a nutshell!

Best wishes, 2RM.

According to the new tax/spend bill in congress right now, they will be focusing on cow farts along with all the rest. It's about control.

Even "fossil fuels" is a misnomer when you are speaking of oil, it's not a fossil fuel. Many depleted oil fields have had their oil replenished by natural earth processes. Dinosaurs didn't become puddles of oil, decay doesn't work that way.

Much love!

Compared to 1936, I’m living in a colder climate than did my ancestors.

To call this a mini ice age, or suggesting that people where I live are on the path to an ice age - “we only have ten years left!” - would be ludicrous.

Climate variation is one thing. Climate change another.

It is interesting to notice the cynicism and contempt ordinary Americans have for experts in their fields. You may have your reasons, but I doubt they would withstand critical scrutiny.

Ho hum. If you prefer to live in an alternative reality of your own invention, there really isn't much I can do for you.
