From the ad:  “Climate Change for Kids…and Parents Too!” is more than just a book — it’s a roadmap for families seeking to understand and engage with one of the defining challenges of our time. Full of brilliant illustrations, scientific, logical, and theological truths, this resource will empower concerned parents and curious children to navigate the complexities of climate change with biblical wisdom, compassion, and faith.

Exactly what “theological truths” are may be a bit unclear.  First, are we talking about the Christian God, the Jewish God, or Allah?  What about the polytheists, e.g., the Hindus and the earlier civilizations in Europe and Scandinavia?

From the video trailer: Climate change is just one example of what happens when we ignore God’s word and pay attention to man’s word. And yes, the Genesis 8:22 makes his quite clear: “Only God can destroy the Earth.”

Not to quibble about subtleties in the meaning of words, but in no case will climate change “destroy the Earth,” though it’s making life for most of us more difficult and painful than it’s been in the past.

Regardless, if this is what you already believe, I’m not sure you need to spend $18 for a book, however nicely illustrated, that lays all this out across 80 pages.

From the book:  Beyond the predominant theories attributing climate change to human activity, we must also weigh in various factors such as natural cycles of the earth and the sun, which significantly influence climate patterns.

Does anyone really believe that climate scientists, the eldest of whom have been working on this problem since the 1970s, have somehow failed to consider the “natural cycles of the earth and the sun?” That’s some seriously stupid stuff.  The book’s authors should be ashamed of themselves.

Corporate Greed from the Consumer’s Perspective

Published

Six months ago, our local CVS drugstore had a manager, a handful of employees answering customers’ questions, checking them out at the cash register, stocking shelves, etc.

Last month, I noticed that most of these employees were gone, and the former manager was now stocking shelves. I also noted long lines of customers waiting for an automated checkout machine to become available.

Last week, I saw the former manager working at a nearby grocery store.

Also, the pharmacy is now closed for an hour for lunch.  When I asked about this, I was asked, “Don’t you think we employees deserve to eat lunch?” I responded, “Of course I do. But can’t CVS afford to staff the pharmacy so customers are not inconvenienced?”

This is certainly not a unique–or even rare–occurrence; it seem that CVS is like most large corporations, driven by cost-cutting, while abusing their employees and their customers.

Honesty in Politics Is Rare

Barack Obama read the actual GOP agenda to a roaring Atlanta crowd Wednesday: a $1 trillion tax cut for millionaires and billionaires, paid for with higher health care costs and Medicaid cuts. Plus a war in Iran that everyone warned would push prices up. “(Democrats will) ban hamburgers and make everybody eat tofu,” he joked.
This is certainly not the only baseless assertion one hears today. I love this one: Democrats will bring you the freedom of North Korea and the affluence of Cuba.  I suppose this is what happens in political rhetoric, especially when it’s addressed to our country’s least educated people.
In actual fact, Democrats, if empowered to do so, will bring you the affluence, healthcare, and education level of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, New Zealand, Iceland, Costa Rica, and the rest of the world’s social democracies.

The meme here makes sense–until you realize that the most productive, happiest people on Earth live in Scandinavia and the other social democracies scattered around the globe.

Providing everyone with the opportunity to succeed seems to work quite well in the real world.
