Once I watched a documentary on a local television not more than five (5) years ago, on the effect of global warming on the Island Tuvalu in perspective. It was a shocking scene, as the inhabitants has a constant feature sea waters having residence in their dwellings. The effect of global warming has become a daily concern. Whiles one place is being flooded because of rising sea levels, the other side of the coin gets drought. Parts of Africa, Australia can indubitably attest to this very fact.
Clearly, rising 'temperatures could intensify storms, floods and drought' as reported by Awake! August 2008. As the global temperatures rises, then glaciers in the Himalayas will evaporate and thus cutting the supply of fresh water to over 39.9% (or 2.793 billion) of the worlds population, most of which are found in the Asian continent.
Countless number of bears are sure to lose weight and even starve as the polar regions clear away. The spread of Malaria causing diseases, and other disease causing agents like ticks will flourish as the temperatures rises.
The year 2007 saw a cluster of weather related problems and disasters, which lead the United Nations to issues 14 emergency calls of appeals, which was 4 more than the previous two (2) years. In the year 2007, Britain had more than 350,000 people affected by the worst flooding since 60 years, in West Africa, over 800,000 were displaced by flooding of which Ghana was no exception, Bangladesh more than 8 million were affected by flooding and over 3000 killed and countless animal lives destroyed, and the United States had 4800,000 residents of South California displaced as result of wild fires.
In fact, "the dangers posed by climate change are dire as those posed by nuclear weapons"-by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. If green house gases are trapped in the earths atmosphere and every day more emissions do occur then the rate at which changes attributed to global warming will increase at positive exponential rate.
Hence, the decimation of the earths flora and fauna is a key threat to the survival of the human species and the biological symphonic relationship which should have existed amongst these .
It's normal getting worried over these genuine concerns, but then as many are in despair, those whose faith are strongly enshrined on the tenets of the Inspired Scriptures (The Bible) have faith (a believe based on evidence-Hebrews 11:1) that the situation will not go unattended to by Jehovah (The Almighty God).
For His world the bible clearly states at Revelation 11:18-"those ruining the earth He will bring to ruin". Just imagine, countless number of greedy "commercialist" polluting our water bodies, the atmosphere as well as the earth will be done away with, a loving provision from the God of love-1 John 4:7, 8.
He will do this by means of a heavenly kingdom that He has set-up in heaven, which will crush this wicked and cancerous systems of things of this world-Daniel 2:44; 7:13,14; 1Corinthians15:24-28.
Come to think of it, all greedy politicians and their cohorts gone for good my goodness peace at last for the mild tempered ones-Matthew 5:5; Psalm 37:9-11, 28, 29; Compare Isaiah 11:1-9.
The world will become a global paradise and a not a global warming and the issue of global warming will never be called to mind again-Revelation 21:1-5; Compare Isaiah 33:24; 65:21-25.
Cancer of the skin, wrinkles and the issue of aging will be gone for good-Compare Job 33:25.
The dead will rise again including those who have lost their lives as a result of global warming related effects-John 5:28, 29; Acts 24:15 and Job 14:14,15.
Be hopeful, and wait on Jehovah-but then let's do what we can in fighting global warming whiles relying wholly on Jehovah God, the Only true God for a global solution -Proverbs 3:5,6; John 17:3.
If that is the case based on your evidence then I think it deserves a second thought by all and sundry.
