Christian View Of The Environment Essay

Improved Essays
how people, especially Christians, interpret the writings of Genesis, Psalms and other books of the Bible, concerning the environment:
The Christian view of man…holds more hope for a happy future for the earth 's environment. The Christian understands that man is not an evolved species. Man is a unique creation, and God has given us rational minds and the responsibility to use them. He tells us to fill the earth, and so we should. But He expects us to use our minds to fill the earth in a thoughtful, considerate, measured, and wise manner. God does not want us to damage the environment (and we must be judicious in determining what constitutes real damage), or harm others in our use of the earth. Because they are witnesses to Him as Creator,

Always advertising and never investigating the theory, mainly because of being so tired of hearing about global warming and the constant barrage of turning it into the crisis that is about to occur, may have caused this particular region of the country to fail to understand the reality of global warming and to take a backseat to wanting to understand what the threat actually means to the climate on the whole. It is within the grasp of every human being who owns a computer or has access to a public one, to find out the basis of global warming. The information might not all be accurate but at least it is more knowledge than they had moments before. Simply put, the issue is not that Creationists doubt that there is climate change. Temperatures are recorded to change fractions of a degree over time, even as much as 1.2 to 2.5 degrees yearly. ( ) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Albert Arnold (Al) Gore, Jr., purports that MAN is responsible for this climate crisis and should correct his carbon footprint in order to conserve the planet’s resources. Fossil fuels (wood, coal, oil, vegetation or any natural resource produced from earth) burned or oxidized and releasing their smoke into the atmosphere is being blamed as one source of climate crisis. On the other hand, “I would say that global warming is basically a ‘non-problem,’ ” says Dr. Ivar Giaever in The Daily Caller, posted

    The Liberal Hoax Climate Change: A long-term change in the Earth’s climate, especially a change due to an increase in the average atmospheric temperature. It is largely due to the increasing amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere. Ever since the industrial revolution, it has been a rapidly growing issue. More recently, however, certain groups of people have begun to deny this scientifically proven phenomenon.

    Some believe global warming is a natural cycle that has nothing to do with human activity. Anthony Lupo gives claims to this belief such as "carbon dioxide is not a pollutant as many claim. Carbon dioxide is good for plant life and is a natural constituent of the atmosphere. During Earth’s long history there has been more and less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than we see today" ("Global Warming"). Carbon dioxide may be good for plants but according to data the last time there was this much carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, modern humans didn't exist.…

    As a Christian, I know that this is not what God intended for the world. After God created the earth and all its wildlife He made the first man, Adam. On this day, God gave man the sworn duty of protecting the earth as its created order. After several thousand years, I believe it is safe to say that we have not lived up to that duty. In fact, we have pushed away from it.…

But after reading this book my way of seeing how I am impacting the environment changed and I felt somewhat disheartened. All due to these two quotes. One read " And in spite of all the mastery we’ve attained, we don’t have enough mastery to stop devastating the world – or to repair the devastation we’ve already wrought."…

    The information released on climate change is often in complex scientific language, and is difficult to understand which correlates to why “only one in ten Americans (12%) correctly estimate scientific agreement at 90% or higher” (van der Linden et al. 1). These statistics indicate a grand disconnect as to how many Americans know of the severity of climate change. A considerable amount of denial is attributed to the lack of education on the issue and acceptance of false information. Skeptics consequently facilitate the idea that anthropogenic sources are not the root cause of climate change. The consequence of false information is a continuous cycle of confusion and denial.…

    Anyone can have valid information, but the way they present it can affect their credibility. In the speech “Global warming alarmism reaches a tipping point” by Senator James Inhofe, he points out the targeted audience of global warming films. In his speech he uses a lot of ad hominems in an attempt to make his target lose credibility or damage their reputation, he uses fallacies against the person who made them to make them appear less credible, and he over uses pathos appeal which caused him to lose credibility. Inhofe’s speech is the least credible because he uses ad hominem attacks to discredit DiCaprio.…

    In the March 2015 issue of National Geographic, an article by Joel Achenbach entitled “The Age of Disbelief”, discusses the rise of climate change skepticism, explore the increasing polarization between cynics and advocates, and examines the what is causing reasonable people to distrust reasons. Achenbach, who is a staff writer for left leaning Washington Post and a monthly contributor for National Geographic, points out that the concept of climate change is born out of scientific methods which bear truths that are less than self-evident and can be hard to swallow. These are the same methods that Galileo use to proclaim that earth orbits around the sun and where Darwin proposed that we all evolved from a single celled organism, both of which vehemently opposed…

    Alejandro Vieyra Mr. Moody English 4 5 December 2016 Climate Change Must Stop Climate change is the changing of weather patterns in regions all around the world.

    Everyone has heard the term global warming, but how is this major issue being defined? To many people, global warming is defined as the steady rise of the Earth’s temperature from an excess of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere. To numberless others, global warming is simply that the climate change and carbon emission has nothing to do with it. While this last definition seems to be the easiest due to being less scary and not having to deal with the problem, it does not mean it is correct. As difficult as it maybe to accept the truth, people are slowly making their own home an oven; therefore, leading to fluctuations in the weather patterns, drastically rising sea levels, the extinction of many species, and an overabundance of…

    In today’s society people has taken care of the environment in a different way. If God created the world and everything that goes along with it; then we as followers of God, Don’t we need to treat the world the way God would want us to? In Psalms 24:1-2 NIV it says “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.” How funny that not just people, but Christians themselves treat the world with such mocking and disrespect towards the environment. God had put his trust in us so that we could take care his treasures on this earth, and pass on the teaching towards our children from generations to generations.…
