Climate Change

We also must discuss human stupidity which escalates horrific damages. Firstly, after Katrina we learned that NoLa was sinking 3-4 times faster than previously thought. Conclusion: Rebuild the houses. Second, CA has passed extensive environmental laws that heavily restrict such vital fire-preventing measures as logging, removal of dead trees, and clearing of dry underbrush. Results: Rampant fires like the one that decimated Paradise.

Blame it on the new age religion of "Climate Change."

Personally I do believe the climate is changing. The earth is changing. We will see more earthquakes, volcanoes, and related disasters. The earth and its climate is the Lord's.

Personally I agree that the climate is the Lord's. However, it has been impacted by man's failure to follow the Lord, hence the use of it in God's judgement. Otherwise it does not make sense that our actions (our sins) result in God's judgement (the natural disaster). Yet that is what many portions of the OT say.

So much of what you have just shared is a good example of God's judgement on man for his stupidity.
