The Boiling Planet

I’m working my way through Revelation this month for the umpteenth time, not claiming to understand the finer details of the prophetic word much better than I did when I was in my twenties. Despite that, I am more than capable of grasping the broad strokes and basic implications for our world of what the Lord revealed to John in the last book of the Bible.

One of the most obvious takeaways from Revelation for the Christian in these troubled and confusing times is that when the end comes for our current world order, it will not be from incineration by the sun, as the climate change cult would have us believe.

Break Out the SPF 60

No, somehow or other, the armies of the Gentile nations will manage to march their way to Jerusalem from the north and the east for their final judgment in numbers never seen before in the history of mankind. If the climate changers are correct in their predictions of catastrophic temperature changes in the near future, those armies will need oceans of SPF 60 or millions of oversized umbrellas to make their way to Israel in fighting form. For the genuine believer this is a most reassuring scenario, even if you harbor the mistaken notion that you’ll still be here on earth as the great tribulation reaches its climactic moments.

Regardless whether CO2-driven climate change poses a potential danger to mankind at some point down the road or whether it is simply a globalist fabrication designed to get the panicky nations on board with Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset, Christians can be 100% certain that a changing climate will have precisely zero impact on the unfolding of God’s plans for his earthly people and his plans for us, his children.

That works for me.

Overheated Rhetoric

Meanwhile, the climate changers are freaking out again, doing a little unsubtle rebranding as they try to step up the frenzy among impressionable teens and their CNN-saturated parents in the West. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres declared last week, “The era of global warming has ended; the era of global boiling has arrived.”

Global boiling. How’s that for overheated rhetoric? I truly feel sorry for people who buy into this stuff. It must be a miserable way to go through life. Even my Mom voiced concern last week about the unusual numbers of forest fires this year. What’s all that about? At least some of it is due to arson and/or carelessness. Oh. Never mind.

I can’t say I’ve found this summer a particularly hot one. I don’t have air conditioning and haven’t missed it. A simple fan will do, and most of the time it isn’t on. But I recognize the numbers the UN is screeching about have to do with the new global mean temperature, not the balmy conditions in my back yard. Phoenix, Arizona and parts of China have apparently set new records this year, driving up the global average.

An Alternative Possibility

Well, there is a very plausible explanation for any actual temperature variation that is occurring this year, and though you won’t find it reported in the regular media, two of the world’s leading scientific organizations are talking about it as a factor in the global mean temperature.

What is happening is that levels of water vapor in the atmosphere have increased dramatically over the last 18 months after an epic underwater volcanic eruption that took place January 15, 2022 in the South Pacific. Water vapor is a recognized greenhouse gas with effects significant enough to reduce whatever actual warming is being caused by current manmade CO2 emission levels to the equivalent of a rounding error. Both NASA and Nature agree the volumes of water vapor in the atmosphere caused by the eruption are unprecedented in our lifetimes, and that they are currently playing and will continue to play a major role in warming the planet over the next few years until the effect subsides naturally.

And there’s not a thing we can do about it even if we wanted to.

Why So Quiet, Mainstream Media?

Jeff Childers at Coffee & Covid 2023 theorizes about why this major climate event is so massively underreported in the mainstream media:

“Here’s why corporate media is ignoring the most dramatic climate event in modern history: because you can’t legislate underwater volcanoes. You can try, but they won’t listen. So what’s the fun in that? Corporate media only exists to further political ends. Since volcanoes aren’t subject to politics, why bother?”

Thomas Lifson at American Thinker reacts:

“I am the first to admit that none of this — not the atmospheric CO2 theory of global warming, nor the effect of the largest ever known undersea volcanic eruption — is scientifically proven. But before we impoverish ourselves trying to reduce CO2 emissions (while watching China dramatically increase them), let’s practice real science and not jump to conclusions based on an imaginary ‘consensus’.”

Comfort from Revelation

A fine idea for Christians and unsaved alike. Meanwhile, go read Revelation. It may unsettle you almost as much as the UN Secretary-General flapping around like he accidentally uttered the dreaded N-word at a Wu-Tang Clan concert, but it has the advantage of being indisputable from the perspective of a man or woman of faith.

God has said it, and it’s going to happen no matter how hot the planet gets in the meantime.
