Why not? God created the earth. Maybe he created it with oil and gas in the earth, just as he created the earth with all the other minerals in it. Maybe God intended for us to mine the earth and use the natural resources including oil and gas. How else could eight billion people live on the earth as they do now without the oil that we use for everything? "26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." Genesis 1:26 KJV So God gave man dominion over all the earth. That means dominion over all the natural resources in the earth too including the gas and oil. If God gave us dominion over the earth, then why would you think we are not supposed to use the oil and gas and emit CO2. Emissions are just a normal part of using the energy resources.

There are some things that we cannot control. They are acts of God. Things such as when a volcano erupts, when an earthquake occurs, when the weather is sunny and when it is cloudy. On and on. That includes the climate. Man cannot control the climate. It is foolishness to think we can. If you want to believe man can do things like that you are free to. But I see it as nonsensical.

That is not exactly how it is. We have the Holy Scriptures which are full of evidence to authenticate many things. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for example was witnessed by a number of eye witnesses. Some of these witnesses were extremely motivated after witnessing the resurrection and were martyred for defending what they had seen and believed. People don't die for a myth or lie.

In one word...nature. The way it always has. The world's temperatures are a complex thing. Why have there been colder periods and hotter periods in history? The same reason, nature. God designed the universe with a changing climate on earth obviously. Same reason we have different seasons each year. That is the way God created it to be. That is correct. But having faith in the correct thing is the right thing. Faith in the wrong things is bad. The whole thing is faith is essential to please God. Without it nobody can be saved or go to heaven. " Faith is the means by which believers come to God and put their trust in Him for salvation. God provides believers with the faith needed to believe in Him: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8–9). The entire Christian life is lived out on the foundation of faith (Romans 1:17; Galatians 2:20). quote What Is Faith as the Bible Defines It? (learnreligions.com) Measurements and data can be true or can be false. Not all measurements and data can prove a supposition.

It's not circular logic. Do you know what circular logic even is? When you look at some complex thing that could not just happen, you should know there was an intelligent designer that made it. If you find a wrist watch lying on the dirt, would you say it just happened by chance? Or would you know someone designed it? It is the same thing with the complex creation which could not design and create itself or happen by chance. It is simple logic which a lot of people do not recognize. I think we are getting closer to the crux of the matter.

Where is the evidence that man is causing climate change? I am still waiting. But I won't hold my breath. We know you don't have any idea. OK, what is the evidence for an alternative explanation. Let's hear it.

You still have not told me this big secret evidence. What is it?

Man does not know everything or as much as he thinks he knows. Take gravity for instance. What is gravity? Does anyone really know? There appears to be an invisible force that causes things to fall toward earth. But we cannot see that force and we cannot block it with any kind of shield or object. Yet it exists. That is kind of like God in the sense we don't see him directly. But we can see his handiwork in the complex creation. So why do people often deny God is, but they take gravity for granted even though they cannot see it? Why do people assume man causes climate change? There is no proof and it is one of those things that appears to be impossible to prove. The evidence for God is all around us, yet many people do not believe God created it, but these same people are willing to believe man causes excessive climate change even though there is no clear evidence or proof.

If I take an object and let it go in the air, it falls to the ground because of gravity. That may be empirical evidence that gravity pulls things downward toward the earth. It is empirical evidence because we can see it happen and know it to be true. If I claim that everyone emitting fossil fuels causes global warming, but have no proof, then that is not empirical evidence. Just saying so is not evidence. If I do an experiment in a lab that demonstrates somehow that CO2 traps heat, then that might be evidence that CO2 traps heat in that experiment. But it does not prove that man releasing CO2 into the atmosphere causes global warming. The two occurrences are not the same thing.

"Empirical evidence, information gathered directly or indirectly through observation or experimentation that may be used to confirm or disconfirm a scientific theory or to help justify, or establish as reasonable, a person’s belief in a given proposition. " Empirical evidence | Definition, Examples, Evidentialism, Foundationalism, & Facts | Britannica Man-made global warming has not been verified by observation or experimentation. Those comments are extra stupid and a sign of mental illness.

I don't have to publish anything. It is you and others who blame man for global warming and put carbon taxes, etc. on me. You are forcing me to pay for what you claim. I am not taxing you for what I believe. So the onus is on you to prove man is causing climate change.

Anyone can do a search and come up with countless websites that say this and that about it, but why do you believe in man-made climate change? What is the actual proof in your own words that would explain why you believe in it? We are talking about what you believe and why. Not about what countless other websites claim.

That is not proof of anything. A claim that human CO2 increased with fossil fuels does not prove it is causing man-made global warming. You don't appear to understand the difference between speculation and empirical science.

If it is a "slam dunk" as you say, then you should be able to describe what the underlying proof is. I shouldn't have to search through a mass of articles you link to see the actual proof. If you have the proof, you should be able to state it in a few sentences. So go ahead. If you don't know the proof, you should not be repeating the great lie and claiming something is a fact. We know you are great at giving links with massive amounts of writings and reports, but if there is no actual proof in it all, it still does not resolve the matter one way or another. You love to try to appear to be trusting "cites" and references, but you don't actually give a brief statement that describes the proof. So the whole thing is an exercise in futility. As I said many times, assumptions are not proof.

Nobody can prove man changes the climate or can control it. You don't believe in God or the Bible so your claim about sin is a fraud. You wouldn't know what it is.

1. Your opinion only with no evidence or proof of anything. 2. Per capita emissions prove nothing. It is the actual total emissions of each country that we use to compare Canada against other countries. Canada's is only 1.5% of mankind's total emissions. Canada has a large land mass and a smaller population and uses more fossil fuels because of the cold climate. We must travel greater distances and use more fossil fuels to heat our homes in the colder climate than much of the rest of the world. Much of the rest of the world are in poverty and many people do not have cars, houses, etc. that Canadians have. So talking about per capita is meaningless. Of course Canadians use more. That doesn't mean we need to suffer more or pay for carbon taxes. Man cannot control the climate.

Studies that have no underlying empirical proof are not scientific proof. Studies citing other studies that have no proof are not proof either. Repeating the same thing over 435 times doesn't prove anything.

Yet we regularly hear Trudeau and others say it had no impact on the election overall. What a disgusting point of view. They have no respect for the democratic rights of Canadians. I thought the motto was every vote counts. If one particular candidate is defeated because of Chinese Communist Party interference that is a very serious matter. It means Canada's electoral system has been undermined and Canadians cannot trust the system. It is possible that a number of candidates lost because of foreign interference. This could have a serious impact on important close votes in the House of Commons. So yes it could have a serious impact on the overall outcome of an election. The spy agency and government authorities responsible for overseeing the election for fairness are not doing their job properly. The question is what should be done now?

Really? What I said is based on data available on the internet through search engines. The simple facts are on various websites. The total amount of CO2 man emits is a tiny fraction of the amount of natural greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. That is a well known fact. You can do some searching and find the figures yourself. Another fact is the amount of CO2 mankind emits is known. Canada emits 1.5% of the mankind's total emissions. You can easily verify that on the internet yourself. These simple fact lead me to the opinion: 1. Mankind is not emitting enough greenhouse gas in the form of fossil emissions to have any real effect on global warming or climate change. That is an opinion only. 2. Canada's emissions of 1.5% of mankind's is miniscule and no matter what Canada does, it is unlikely to have any impact on mankind's total emissions. Therefore we are wasting our resources, energy, and time on "fighting pollution" as Trudeau claims. Instead of insulting people on here, you need to grow up and converse in a sane manner.

There is no empirical science that proves man is causing global warming or climate change. It is all supposition, hearsay, or speculation, which is not science.

Since you are so well-informed, what is the underlying scientific proof that man is causing climate change? Or where is the proof the minute amount of man-made CO2 is causing global warming? I have not seen it. Speculation is not proof. Neither are the rantings of Greta Thunberg, Trudeau, or any politician.

You don't know the difference between apples and oranges, i.e. you don't know the difference between right and wrong. An orderly, law-abiding society has to have the foundation of the God of the Bible, that is, Jesus Christ. Without that you have nothing except anarchy. You say you have read and studied for six decades, but the question is what have you read and studied? It sure wasn't the Bible or anything from it.

I can agree partially with you that we should not be dumping chemicals or plastics into the ocean. I see on television sometimes people trying to clean up huge messages of garbage on the beaches. All that garbage should not be there in the first place. But I don't see the environmentalists making much of a fuss over that. They are busy trying to stop the oil and gas industry and forest industry. You are mistaken about God. Islam does not believe in the true God of the Bible. You would have to study the Bible to learn about that. It is not something which I can comment on that you would believe. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God (the Bible, in English the King James Version). There is lots of proof in the Bible. The fact that eye witnesses saw Jesus Christ after he rose from the dead is real proof.

Almost all the CO2, water vapour, and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere are normal and nothing to do with man. As I said many times, man contributes a miniscule amount of CO2 which is not going to make any difference to anything except our wallets.

You have been brainwashed by the left and Marxists into believing patriotism, God, the Bible, and church are "fascist". Far from it. Those things are normal, traditional family values that produce a good society and more happiness. You need to start reading the Bible, especially the New Testament, repent and believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior while you still have time. Nobody knows the hour or day of our death. Now is the day, now is the time of salvation.
