"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."--Romans 12:2 (NIV)Christians cheapen the meaning of Easter when too much light is cast on the creation and not the Creator. We have to remember that people who are pushing the environmental agenda stifle other viewpoints as to what is causing changes in the earth. NASA scientist Jeff Willis has been studying the ocean floor recording its temperature and has found instead the ocean to be cooling slightly. When looking for answers as to why the icecaps are melting and sea level is rising, Kevin Trenberth of National Center for Atmospheric Research mentions, "The Earth has a number of natural thermostats, including clouds, which can either trap heat and turn up the temperature, or reflect sunlight and help cool the planet." It's important to consider viewpoints from a variety of experts ([url=http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=88520025]http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=88520025[/url]). I firmly believe Global Warming is attributed to the natural cycle of the earth. We are only a small speck on this earth and in this universe. Humans need not think they have such force to change and alter the very cycle of the planet. Let's not put our hope in environmental causes. America, your hope and future is in God, not a movement to revive the earth. Let Easter be a time when all Christians focus on Jesus' insurmountable love, that He would lay His life down to take your place as a sinful being before God and ultimately, bring us all back into fellowship with the Almighty through His resurrection. Let's put our faith in Jesus and abandon the politically correct "green" environmental movement.
