Some people are still buying into man caused global warming

   In my newspaper on May 19, 2013 the following news (propaganda) article by Sandy Bauers of the Philadelphia Inquirer appeared.

 

Signs of climate change hit resident's doorsteps 

 

    It seems that after hurricane sandy struck some homes (built on low lying sand bars on Delaware Bay) have the residents alarmed that water seems to be encroaching on their home-sites. No other cause besides global warming, such as erosion or sinking sub surface structure, is offered by the author. One owner said "This isn't something that's coming, it's here. We just happen to live in a place that will affect us sooner." Doesn't the Bible say something about building your house on shifting sand? But I digress. This area is swamp land and like many other such places world wide they often recede over time. Take New Orleans as an example or the ancient city of Alexandria Egypt which is now a scuba diving site. But these people think that this problem is being caused by increasing sea water levels caused by global warming. 

    OK lets consider their theory. The ancient seaport city of Ur in southeastern Iraq was once at the mouth of the Euphrates river. Due to silting of the river mouth it changed it's course centuries ago and the ruins of that city are now many miles from the Persian Gulf. Was that caused by global warming or a rising sea level? in Turkey the ancient seaport of Ephesus has likewise removed itself away from the Aegean Sea.  Ostia, the ancient seaport of Rome, was actually buried by silt until it was excavated in modern times. Yes these are opposite problems but does anyone think about the fact that rivers deliver millions of tons of silt into the seas every year? Glaciers move huge amounts of rock into the Oceans. Starting in Holland men claimed new land from the sea by building dykes or using fill dirt. This continues today from Dubai to New York City. We sink ships, dump our garbage and pipe our sewage into the sea. So are the seas rising? Yes they must. All this is but a drop in the bucket you say. Well that is all the sea level rising indicates and it isn't caused by global warming. 

    So does global warming exist? If it doesn't then it is surely cooling because it never stays constant. We need to get used to the fact that moving plates of the earth's crust have always altered the sea coasts. Volcanoes and earth quakes cause islands to rise and sink. The removal of ground water and oil also causes land to recede. Mankind is not totally innocent of damage to the planet and we should strive to minimize it. Read more articles on this blog to get better information as to whether any climate change is man caused. The truth is God is in control and there is nothing that we can do about it. Jimmy Huffman
