Flooded with climate change claims

We have been flooded with global-warming and climate-change claims stating that the evidence is clear, that the debate is closed, that we must act immediately, etc., but in fact there is no replicable (verify by reproduction) scientific evidence that human-caused carbon dioxide emissions cause climate change.

It doesn’t exist. Studies of a variety of natural processes, including ocean cycles and solar variability, indicate that self-balancing natural processes can account for variations in the earth’s climate on the time scale of decades and centuries. On the other hand, current climate computer models have failed to properly account for natural and man-made contributions to past climate change. Also, the earth has been cooling for the last 10 years, contrary to the alarmists’ models.

Some of these self-balancing natural processes are described in the Bible in many places such as Job 38: 14-18: “Listen, Job, stop and consider the wonderful miracles of God. Do you know how God controls all nature, and causes the lightning to flash forth from the clouds? Do you understand the balancing of the clouds with wonderful perfection and skill? Do you know why you become warm when the south wind is blowing and everything is still? Can you spread out the gigantic mirror of the skies as he does?” and 9-11 “From the south comes the rain; from the north, the cold. God blows upon the rivers, and even the widest torrents freeze. He loads the clouds with moisture and they send forth his lightning.” In the book of Job, God is dealing with Job’s arrogance.

Regardless of the fact that the so-called “best science” can not verify the claims that humans are causing global warming, the Environmental Protection Agency under Obama is now regulating carbon dioxide as a pollutant. This is absurd. Carbon dioxide is sometimes pumped into green houses to promote plant growth.

Carbon dioxide is an odorless, colorless trace gas that is essential for plant growth. Plants in turn use carbon dioxide to produce oxygen which is essential for human survival. This process is verified scientific evidence. The truth is that computer modeling, consensus of scientists or theory is not scientific evidence.
