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.
Book on How to Teach God’s Word on Climate Change to your Kids
Here’s a very short video on the subject of metaphysics, the philosophy of being and reality.
It’s a great example of what I mean when I say that it has been a terrible last few centuries for philosophers.
In ancient times, if you wanted to know what the fundamental building blocks of the universe, you asked a philosopher, perhaps the ancient Athenian Democritus, who propounded the theory of the atom, which was, by definition, indivisible. Now we refer this question to the realm of particle physics.
Far more recently, those who struggled to know the ultimate nature of reality asked a metaphysician. Now, once again, we’ve put our trust in science.
I hope you’ll check out the video linked above.
As a PhD colleague once told me, “If you don’t care how much of pay for electricity, I’ll get you all the renewable energy you could ever ask for.”
They want you to invest. Have you ever asked why people with their own money at stake have abandoned these ideas 20 years ago?
At left we see why Lincoln would have done well to let the Confederacy cede from the Union. He could have simply written a letter to Robert E. Lee stating:
Keep your slaves and your land…for now. Wait until you experience the effects of near-zero industrial and military technology development and the civilized world’s refusal to trade with you barbarians. By the end of the 19th Century, a stiff breeze will blow you away. Maybe some future U.S. president will invade you with a troop of Boy Scouts with slingshots, or maybe a handful of banditos will ride up from Mexico.
