This is why I prefer the term "unsustainable". That term includes a very clear understanding of the future. Burning up a reserve of fossil fuel that took tens of millions of years to produce and less than 200 years to burn up, that is unsustainable. So we know we have to continue to innovate and move on. I think the NT reveals that we will get fusion (the NJ has no need of the sun). Prophetically speaking I see that as the solution to many of these issues.

I agree that I have no confidence in a kid like AOC who has no solution and no plan. When the kids come to congress to tell them to vote, if I were there I'd say "OK, I'll vote for this but you have to understand that your mother and father will lose their job, I hope that is OK". When the kids are shocked to hear this I would explain that although I don't know your parents or their job I do know that passing this will cost tens of thousands of jobs, and those people are parents. So it is irresponsible to push us to pass this knowing it will cost all those people their jobs if you are not willing to pay the same price.

Because shortages in water, droughts, floods, etc will cause climate refugees. About 70% of the world's population will be directly impacted and that will cause a crisis that will result in disease, famine and war. Even the Pentagon agrees with that assessment. War is particularly disconcerting because many of these countries have nuclear bombs and can destroy the world.

All roads lead to the conclusion of the age. It doesn't matter if some mocked during the entire trip. They still arrive at the same place, that is because Jesus is Lord, not them.
