REFORMATION RUMBLINGS

Docket Of “Climate Change”
Enthusiasts
[Facts Or Fabrication?]
World leaders have frequently congregated to concoct a solution to so-called “Climate Change” or “Global Warming.” I suggest we not be hoodwinked by these leaders, most of whom are radical environmentalists.
Dry periods and wet periods have occurred throughout the history of humankind. Our modern times reveal a series of dry and wet stages. One does not need to be a meteorologist to be a student of history. History entails three long drought episodes in the U.S., which occurred in the 1930s, the 1950s, and the early 21st century. The Dust Bowl era of the 1930s remains one of the benchmark droughts and extreme heat events in the U.S. historical record.
The dry period lasted in the United States from 1920 to 1933. There was a major dry period in California from 1946 to 1977. The period between 1978-1998 experienced a wet trend. It is not unnatural for the world’s temperature to fluctuate—as well as dry, wet, and hot seasons every few decades. It has always been so. It is my persistent judgment that climate change enthusiasts are resisting and striving to change an ordinary phenomenon or natural cycle. And for what reason? They say their goal is to clean up the environment. That may be one of their reasons, but I suspect ulterior motives, considering the history of radical environmentalists.
History is history, wherever it is found. Biblical history chronicles a drought period for seven years in Egypt and surrounding nations in 1718 B. C.—Genesis, chapters 41 & 42, Adam Clarke’s Commentary, Vol. 1, Greek & Hebrew Scholar, pgs. 232-238. Another biblical drought—dry period—or famine occurred in the Middle East in 891 B. C. and recorded in 2 Kings 8:1.
My point is, whether we examine biblical history or other sources of history, the narratives are the same—namely, throughout the history of humankind there have been wet and dry periods. Consequently, I classify these happenings as natural, terrestrial, or progressive cycles.
Let it be understood that I offer no objections to a clean environment. I promote a clean Earth and atmosphere. I object to the excuses these “enlightened” liberals are using to clean it up. Environmental extremists must contrive reasons for their radical agenda, so they blame pollution as one cause for the world’s temperature change and dry and wet seasons. No doubt pollution has its affect, but dry and wet stages of history, all the way back as far as we can go, is chronicled.
ENDNOTE— Common sense tells me these cycles, including our current heat wave, will continue off and on until time is no more. The hot weather, plus excessive moisture, a big part of the world is now experiencing may last for weeks—or longer. But it will end when the Higher Power above decides to end it, regardless of our efforts to explain it—or to struggle with it.
