Is Global Warming for Real?

Virtually the whole of what the so-called main-stream media (including taxpayer-subsidized PBS and NPR) spew out regarding alleged man-caused global warming is propaganda of the most blatant sort, regularly dishonest, scientifically inaccurate, purposefully slanted and grossly exaggerated. Virtually the whole of the mainstream media—TV networks, newspapers and other print media, and the film industry—has sold its soul to spout the most extreme claims of the rabid environmentalists without qualification or caveat. We are assured that “the science is settled,” “the discussion is over,” “there is complete scientific consensus,” and “now is the time to get on board and act.”

We are fed the line (and lie) that …

Global Warming

In early February of 2006, eighty-six prominent evangelical leaders, including Rick Warren, inaugurated the “Evangelical Climate Initiative,” seeking legislation on global warming. The initiative immediately sparked a reaction from politically active evangelicals such as Charles Colson and James Dobson, declaring that “global warming is not a consensus issue.”(1) Since that time the floodgates of discussion have opened from the broader evangelical movement concerning an evangelical approach to environmental issues. Because issues of environment have now been forced into the religious and theological arena, it is appropriate for Fundamentalists to address them.

The idea that evangelicals today would seek consensus on any issue—environmental or political—seems almost comical. The movement is so fractured morally and politically that it has lost its identity completely.(2) A heated discussion on the subject was inevitable. On the other hand, Fundamentalists have generally ignored such issues as the environment. Such topics have been considered outside the realm of theology, or associated with the “social gospel” counterfeit of the last century.read more

Concerning Global Warming and the Environment: FBFI Resolution 06-04

By SharperIron Thu, 07/13/2006 - 1:00am

FBFI 2006 Annual ConferenceNOTE: The following standing resolution was presented at the 86th Annual Fellowship of the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship International on June 13, 2006, at Hamilton Square Baptist Church in San Francisco, California.

Fundamentalists have always believed that we must apply the principles of Scripture to all areas of life. This would include applying Biblical principles to the stewardship of the planet on which dwell. We urge all Fundamentalists to teach and model clear Biblical ethics that include:

  • Biblical principles of stewardship–recognizing that this world belongs to God and not us.
  • Principles of love for God and our fellow man—recognizing that we do not have the right to dishonor God by wantonly destroying what belongs to Him or abuse our neighbor for the sake of our own personal comfort.
  • Principles of wise planning—looking into the future and considering the consequences of our actions.
  • Principles of truth—setting aside the political and emotional rhetoric in order to understand what is true and make right choices.

We urge Fundamentalists to avoid getting swept up in the emotional, political, and often sensational debate concerning the issue of global warming but rather to apply clear Biblical principles to all areas of everyday life for the glory of God. We believe it is unwise and irresponsible to take one side or the other in the scientific debate surrounding this issue, and, therefore, the FBFI refuses to do so.
