A Biblical Duty?
By California Yankee
The Vatican has extended its list of mortal sins to include 21st century transgressions:
The new seven deadly sins are those of drug abuse, genetic manipulation, morally dubious experimentation, environmental pollution, social inequalities and social injustice, causing poverty and accumulating excessive wealth at the expense of the common good of society.
Traditionally, mortal sins are acts which breach the Ten Commandments from which the Roman Catholic Church deduced that there were seven deadly sins - pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed and sloth.
Not to be outdone, leaders of the Southern Baptists have "declared" their denomination has been "too timid" on environmental issues and has a biblical duty to stop global warming.
As one who recognizes global climate change, but remains skeptical as to whether it is all the result of human activity, I continue to wonder if climate change is not part of God's plan.

Posted at 9:37am on Dec. 21, 2007 Debunking The Man-Made Global Warming "Consensus"
By California Yankee
The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (minority report), debunks the man-made global warming "consensus" mantra. The report found more than 400 prominent scientists, including several former members of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, disputed man-made global warming claims in 2007:
Over 400 prominent scientists from more than two dozen countries recently voiced significant objections to major aspects of the so-called "consensus" on man-made global warming. These scientists, many of whom are current and former participants in the UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), criticized the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore.[. . .]
This blockbuster Senate report lists the scientists by name, country of residence, and academic/institutional affiliation. It also features their own words, biographies, and weblinks to their peer reviewed studies and original source materials as gathered from public statements, various news outlets, and websites in 2007. This new "consensus busters" report is poised to redefine the debate.
Randall Hoven makes the point that the United States is accomplishing a lot more to reduce carbon dioxide emissions due to consumption of fossil fuels than the mainstream media or the rest of the world would have you believe. Read on.
