Climate Comes from God

 

“God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding.”

—Job 37:5a

I do not believe in anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change. I believe it is the height of arrogance to suppose that anything mankind might do could wrest control of climate away from God.

I have worked long enough in the engineering community to observe many tightly held and universally accepted beliefs disappear in an instant when better data arrived.

I am keenly aware that the subject of climate change is fraught with a political agenda and directed by greed. Whether the motivator is income redistribution or grant money, significant outside non-scientific influences have come to bear on the so-called "settled science" of climate change.

Many believe the Book of Job may be the oldest writing in the Bible. Please note these words recorded in Job 37:5-7, 9-13:

God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding.

He says to the snow, “Fall on the earth,” and to the rain shower, “Be a mighty downpour.” So that everyone he has made may know his work, he stops all people from their labor.

The tempest comes out from its chamber, the cold from the driving winds. The breath of God produces ice, and the broad waters become frozen.

He loads the clouds with moisture; he scatters his lightning through them. At his direction they swirl around over the face of the whole earth to do whatever he commands them.

He brings the clouds to punish people, or to water his earth and show his love.

I’m quite resolute that God, and God alone, controls the climate. It is only the arrogance of sinful man that imagines any actions of mankind could have any effect whatsoever on climatic changes.

Because we belong to this God, we shelter under His wings. And that is truly the safest place to be.

May God forgive us for our arrogance and corruption, even as He frequently reminds us of both His mighty power and His unfailing, undying love.
