I'm ready for some global warming

If it were not for leap year this would be the first day of March. We would be looking forward to spring. I am sitting here watching it snow, with 5 or 6 inches of snow already on the ground. It is freeeeeezing outside. I heard a report yesterday that over the last year we have had the largest temperature drop in the last 100 years. They call it widespread global cooling. Great!

"China has had the coldest winter in the last 100 years. Baghdad had it's first snow in recorded history. There has been record levels of Antartica sea ice. There has been record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, South Africa, Argentina and the list goes on." This information comes from DailyTech website. View The article also said the drop is so drastic that it has wiped out all the global warming in the last 100 years. Great! Please, give me a little global warming.

I can't believe Al Gore won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work on global warming. They ought to take it back. I am all for being more responsible in taking care of the earth God gave man to manage, but this Global warming stuff is crazy. Man, is not the cause of climate change, it is arrogant to even think that. This is humanism at it's highest level. Man thinking they make more of an impact than God.

I love the cooling trend for one reason. It makes me laugh because the Al Gores of the world are silent and frustrated. It reminds me of what the Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 1:18-25, here are some highlights:

"For it is written: 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.'"
(vs 19, quoted from Isaiah29:14)

"Where is the wise man? Where is the Scholar? Where is the Philosopher of this age?
Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?" (vs 20)
"For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom,
and the weakness of God is stronger than man's wisdom." (vs 25)
God is awesome in his infinite power and wisdom! But I could still use a little global warming right about now.

But Scott, this weather IS a result of global warming. Because of the melting of the Arctic ice, it is sending lots and lots of cold water into the oceans which is cooling it down and causing us to have this weather. It's proven that certain migratory fish and other sea creatures aren't coming as far north as they usually do because the water's colder. So be too quick to discount Al Gore and his global warming.

Anonymous,

Thanks for your comment. The truth is we were "to quick" to give Al Gore the Nobel peace prize for this theory. I knew that global warming would somehow be blamed for the cooling.

The problem is that the article I cited is crediting the global cooling to "reduced solar activity." Solar activity as they explained "is a much more driver of climate change than man-made greenhouse gases."

The cooler water theory that you present would not explain how the ice caps have greater ammounts of ice now than they did. The colder water being sent to the ocean would never reach a level below the freezing point.

One other major flaw with global warming as a Christ follower is that the claim is the earth will be covered with water. God promised never to flood the earth again with water. Oh, but I forgot, it is not God causing this one it is man.

Again, welcome to humanism at a very high level.
