Global Warming Is A Myth
A certain political activist group wants to make laws governing our lives based on their belief that man has the power by neglect or design to destroy the world we live in. If these people truly believe what they teach, they must live in great fear. They fear that man has the ability to destroy the ozone layer which will cause our earth to burn up. They fear that man will use up all the earth’s natural resources. They fear that man will cause the solar ice caps to melt. They fear that man will over populate the planet. Etc. etc. etc……………….
I believe in God is in control of everything. I believe that it would be impossible for man to destroy our world before God planned for it to be destroyed. I have no fear of the green house effect or of global warming. Why? Because of a promise that God made long ago:
