According to certain points of view, largely based on ignorant non-science spewed forth from the corrupt orifices of those who pander to big businesses as the new Jesus Global warming comes and goes in natural cycles of approximately 1,500 years. During these natural periodic increases in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere, crops grow better in northern latitudes and deaths from extreme weather decrease. The large arctic island of Greenland was colonized during the Medieval Warm Period, but the colonies there had to be abandoned during the Little Ice Age which followed.
During the recorded history of mankind, these cycles of warming and cooling have occurred every 1,500 years.[1]
According to geologists, the Earth has experience numerous ice ages during which the temperature dropped so far that glaciers could cover North America and Europe.
There is a close correlation between the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. During warm periods, the carbon dioxide level increases, and during cool periods it decreases.
Politics of global warming
According to the Holy Bible, Jesus valued people above material possessions, even going so far to throw moneylenders out of the temple. Now, when faced when what COULD be a potential catastrophe for human life, many so called Christians prefer to do nothing or deny that there is a problem rather than make changes now that could potentially save lives in the future. Even if there is no danger posed by climate change, would it hurt to ACT like Christians and forgo some of the material desires and love for money that will surely bar the gates of heaven to you even as you quote from your bibles like hypocrites.
Assessments of climate science by the United Nations (see IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) have claimed that there is a scientific consensus on the subject. According to their latest report, scientists are 90% sure that over 50% of the observed global warming in recent decades is human-caused, and that continued global warming could be expected to raise sea levels by one foot over the next century.
Several prominent scientists have pointed out the politicized science of the UN's assessment methods. The scientific reports are submitted to a panel of representatives appointed by each country in the IPCC. The panel picks and chooses what they want to put in the Summary for Policymakers, over the objections of scientists whose actual evaluations are disregarded when the do not fit the preordained conclusions of the panel.
