Global Warming, Climate Change, New Ice Age or Whatever Term Du Jour They're Calling It This Month

***NOTE***

After all the hoopla over President Trump pulling out of the Paris Accord, Charlie wanted this piece from 2014 to be the featured soapbox. - TeamCDB

While I believe that mankind has done immeasurable damage to the planet by polluting the oceans and streams, deforesting it's wilderness, needlessly and stupidly destroying the natural habitat of treasured species and pouring toxic fumes into the air we breathe, I do not believe that any one or combination of them has anything to do the heating and cooling of the earth.

I believe this universe was created by intelligent design, by the hand of Almighty God, and while He gives us lots of leeway in the way we conduct ourselves and the ramifications of our actions I believe that such weighty decisions as the creation, orbit and temperature of planets, He reserves for Himself.

I believe in taking care of our planet in every way we can but also believe the most meticulous care will not change the temperature of the planet by a hundredth of a degree and if the energy that is spent trying to frighten the population into accepting the global warming theory as absolute was expended on the very real and manageable ecological problems we have, a lot could be accomplished.

The truth of the matter, as I see it, is that the climate change issue is not about climate change at all but about the grabbing of power over industry in the same way Obamacare is not about health care but the government having power to control the medical industry.

Think about the ramifications of complete government control of industry, agriculture, manufacturing, the production and distribution of medicine and your ability to plant a garden or have a few chickens in your back yard.

Do you think this can't happen?

People it is happening, check out the food safety section of the agriculture bill the president signed into to law a few years ago.

When you consider the credibility, or lack thereof, of the climate change bunch in the last century you have to at least question whether they know what they're talking about.

They've got all the bases covered. If we have the coldest winter or the hottest summer the longest drought, the most rainfall, record snowfall or lowest snowfall it is all explained away by climate change.

It's been a seesaw to say the least:

Time Magazine: September 10, 1923 "The discovery of changes in the sun's heat and southward advance of glaciers in recent years have given rise to conjectures of the possible advent of a new ice age."

Time Magazine: January 2, 1939 "Gaffers who claim that winters were harder when they were boys are quite right, weathermen have no doubt that the world, at least for the time being is growing warmer."

New York Times: March 27, 1933 "America is in the longest warm spell since 1776, temperature line records a 25 year rise."

New York Times: May 21, 1975 "Scientists ponder why world climate is changing, a major cooling widely considered to be inevitable."

New York Times: December 27, 2005 "Past hot times hold few reasons to relax about new warming."

Climate change is the whipping boy for any extreme weather, drought, flood, freeze or thaw and the scientific evidence of its existence is questionable to say the least.

I believe that the warming and cooling of the planet over a period of time is natural and has happened ever since it's existence and that the dire predictions about the icebergs melting and New York Harbor overflowing and flooding Manhattan Island is nothing more than wild conjecture.

I've been around for 77 years and seen warm spells in winter and cool spells in summer all my life.

The Landlord of the Universe has His hand on the thermostat.

He always has.

What do you think?

Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem.

God Bless America

Thank you Mr. Daniels for speaking my and the minds of millions of Americans. When I was little, it was an ice age coming that didn't happen. When I was older, it was global warming and all the glaciers would be gone and sea levels rise by 2014. Didn't happen either. Now it's simply renamed climate change...a rigged game where those global warming advocates could go wrong. Kinda like betting both heads and tails on a coin toss so they can't lose. Thanks again for your message.

Every word of this is so true. Why can't people beleive and understand that God is in control of everything.

I agree 100% about how much the weather changes from time to time. I am 64, and also have seen fluctuations in the weather. You are correct in saying that some people in power want to make money from trying to scare folks into thinking, if we don't do something, the world we know is going to come to an end. Stay on that soapbox Mr. Daniels, maybe somebody in power will read it and understand the common sense of the common man. Thank you and God bless
