Reuters - Global warming thaws Arctic, divides governments
Reuters reports, "Rising temperatures will disrupt life for people, bringing more storms and destabilizing everything from homes to oil pipelines. Melting glaciers could raise global sea levels and spoil habitats for creatures like polar bears..." Luke 21:26 is and interesting prophecy, it says that there will come a time when people will be apprehensive about the future, about what is happening to the world. Unfortunately for us, the prophecy does not say what people will be afraid of. I wonder if perhaps global warming and climate change might be one possible fulfillment of that? Scientists are split about the global warming phenomenon, about whether it reflects a natural cycle or is caused by humans, but I wonder if that really matters? The prophecy says that people will be fearful and apprehensive, it does not necessarily follow that what they are afraid of is real or valid. Fear is often irrational. Any thoughts or comments?
