why do so many people "believe" in global warming?

I think it's incredibly dumb of you to think that our activities couldn't affect the world just because the bible doesn't say anything about global warming. Why would the bible say anything about it anyway? Nothing was known about global warming at the time the bible was written, you moron. You are incredibly naive. I hope this question was a joke, and you're not actually that stupid.

No one's ever said they are more powerful than the earth. It has to do what we have invented and how we have abused our technologies and polluted the environment. And yes there is global warming. When the Men wrote the bible all those years ago, did they have factories with big smoke plumes or did they have millions of cars with exhaust coming out of it? No they didn't. Pollution back then was not the same as today and the people who wrote the bible don't predict the futrue either. There is lots of evidence that supports global warming- have you ever read up on it? Probably not since it's not by King James. There have been extremly large ice shelfs that have broken off and sunken into the ocean- what do you think that will do? Do you think melting our polar ice caps is a positive thing? Noah won't return and rescue us all so don't just sit back and think the bible will save us from drowning.

The Bible talks about Global Warming, It says "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens 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." 2 Peter 3:10

That is not Al's theory mind you, but The Day when The Lord will Judge the World.

"I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:3

Actually, we do have an impact on our environment, but I'd say that it is more likely that the wide variety we see is due to cyclical changes that we do have evidence of. I think we are to be good stewards of the earth. I also think there is a political agenda behind the global warming scare and that if we are dumb enough to believe scientists who "prove" it exists so they can get more grant money, then we deserve the society they will force upon us.

And ... I'm happy I'm not the only one who knows it is all "horse hockey"

well.. its a fact that the earth is changing .. rapidly and drastically.. right now .. .. but its not known wether we are contributing to it or not ..

tho in my opinion .. its highly possible .. with all the harm we do to the environment .. the pollution we put into the air .. all the chemicals and waste .... We def aren't helping it .. we're only destroying ourselves..

As a kid living in New Orleans .. I remember having to find something very Warm to wear for Halloween .. for the last 5 years .. I dont ever remember having a winter anymore. Its almost January and New Orleans still feels like the middle of summer.

.. I cant even explain how ignorant it is to say *i've never seen it in the bible* please pick up a book other then your bible .. any book heh.... your bible is not science

It is not necessary to believe in global warming. You only have to look around you and watch Discovery Channel of course.

The evidence for global warming has been around for years, people are just in recent years beginning to truly hear and see what is happening.

I absolutely believe it. When I looked out my back door and saw a monarch butterfly in the last week of November and it was 60 something degrees, it made me think about it, for sure.

Heres a global warming scripture from the bible for you.

Mal. 4: 1

1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

It is based on evidence!

This evidence may not be complete, but with each person creating so much CO2, something has to give.

Now if Macro Evolution also exists, when the globe warms up again, the dinosaurs will be back!

Hope the creationists are wrong about that, or we will be T-rex food!

The Bible is all about the Earth turning against people in the End!

BTW its not the humans alone, it is all the poisons we dump in the natural resources and spray into the air and all the things we make that will not break down for a million years

Oh, come on. We all know that Fred Flintstone and his ilk were responsible for the last global warming. After all, how else would all the glaciers have receded?
