We know that CO2 is a greenhouse gas & we know we are pumping enormous amounts of it into the atmosphere that had been stored away for millions of years. So it makes sense that this would warm the planet and, it turns out, that is what's happening. It's happening whether Christians want to believe it or not. And you can choose to not believe it or believe that the world is really flat because, after all, that's the way it looks from the ground and you can believe that if you step on a crack that you'll break your mother's back.......................... Mike,

Also, after a year of tracking comments on blogs+global warming, I can safely assume that the most strident supporters of man-made global warming are anti-Christian. It is stunning how many time a skeptic appears in a comment thread and is immediately tarred as a knuckle-dragging Creationist. Why would any Christian want to associate with a crowd like that?

Of course mankind has constantly intervened in the Earth's affairs resulting in catastrophes. For example airplane crashes & levees that fail. Why hasn't God intervened in those instances? The bottom line is that it's easier to get all in tizzy about abortion and gays. Why bother with Global Warming which might actually require them to change THEIR behavior? So they drive their diesel dually pickemup trucks to their Sunday and midweek services totally oblivious of what they are doing to the planet.
