For those of you out there still mocking Al Gore’s passionate speech waxing eloquent on the subject of “climate change,” recorded at the 2023 World Economic Forum (WEF) summit at Davos, Switzerland, I have some sobering news for you. There are parts of Mr. Gore’s speech that are Biblically correct. When Gore predicted “boiling oceans“ in some future catastrophic time, God in His Word has already told us that such a time is on the way and is, indeed, inevitable. Inevitable is where Mr. Gore got it wrong as he vehemently pushed the idea that we humans need to cut carbon emissions so as not to bring the oceans to boiling point. He thinks we can avoid these ”boiling oceans.” Not so fast Al. Not. So. Fast. God says it this way in II Peter 3:10-12, “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens [sky] shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat.”
        Ever since Albert Einstein’s discovery, conveyed to us in a science formula expressed as E=mc2, mankind has been presented with the knowledge, horrifyingly exemplified at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, that if the latent energy in the mass of this world were instantaneously released there would indeed be a worldwide meltdown from which the only escape is to be transported into the realm of celestial bodies. A celestial body to which the mind of John Kerry has already begun to transport himself and his “climate change” colleagues. Hopefully if he ever approaches the subject again of he and his colleagues enjoying the elevated status of “almost extraterrestrial” he will tack a JK on the statement’s ending. And, yes, JK for “just kidding.”  Granted, I think he did say “almost.” I think he also mispronounced “extraterrestrial” which is a possible clue that he is clueless as to the word’s definition. Perhaps I give him to much “benefit of the doubt,” however, as he did also refer to he and his cronies as a “select group of human beings” committed to “saving the planet” where “half the species [have] already been killed.” A noble goal perhaps as God does say He will destroy those destroying the earth. (Rev. 11:18) Concerning “carbon emissions” methinks that once we can observe this “select group of human beings” traveling via public transport, then pedaling into Davos on bicycles, we would do well to sit up and pay attention. Though this would still not bring us to net zero emissions as public transport and the building of bikes, not to speak of those peddling them, still take energy and still give off emissions. Only, presumably, less than the approximate 1,040 private jets descending upon Davos for the yearly WEF summit from close and distant points on the planet. One of those distant points is China. I don’t profess to have a direct line of communication with President Xi Jinping but there are several observations that are common knowledge on this spinning orb; #1. Mr. Xi is committed to the financial prosperity of China. #2. China is, to date, the largest supplier of windmills and solar power components in the world, due in part to their abundance of cheap (slave?) labor, but mostly because China produces, by mining, a large percentage of the rare earth minerals used in the production of those components. To me it doesn't take a “rocket scientist” to understand China’s interest in, and commitment to, “green” energy.
        If I ever have the privilege of being the last speaker at the WEF summit in Davos, I wish to dismiss the assembly with God’s promise to Noah at the time of the first rainbow: “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter and day and night shall not cease.” (Gen. 8:22) Period. End of chapter. Until that future chapter opens ... to the inevitable final meltdown.

Life Matters!
