Global Warming Hoax...

The government says that the Earth is going through a process called Global Warming. I will argue that we are not going through Global Warming, but a natural cycle that the universe goes through. I also will suggest that if the earth is going to do anything it is going to head in the opposite direction of Global Warming, which is known as an Ice Age. Most of my argument will be argued from a philosophic and scientific point of view, which means I will go mostly by the idea that the earth is 4 billion years old. (I DO NOT SUPPORT THE IDEA THAT THE EARTH IS BILLIONS OF YEARS OLD THOUGH, BUT MOST IDEAS AND STATISTICS ARE BASED ON THAT THOUGHT. IT MAKES THE ARGUMENT A LITTLE MORE EFFECTIVE IF YOU CAN TAKE THE SCIENTIFIC “FACTS” AND STILL BE ABLE TO FLIP THEM ON THE SCIENTIST.)
First off, what is the philosophy behind this process called Global Warming? Scientists believe that global warming is the developmental plodding rise of the earth's surface temperature which is thought to be caused by the greenhouse effect and responsible for changes in global climate patterns. They believe that global warming has transpired in the earth’s history as the result of natural influences, but the expression is used most of the time to refer to the warming that is predicted to take place as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases.
How does the global warming process work? The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) says that the greenhouse gases are going into and thickening the earth’s atmosphere. When the suns rays enter through our atmosphere they used to bounce off the earth and a certain amount would stay in our atmosphere and keep the temperature stable and a certain amount would exit the atmosphere. Now since the earth’s atmosphere is thicker than it used to be from all the greenhouse gases, it traps more radiation from the sun in our atmosphere and in turn is causing the global climate to increase. The IPCC uses mainly a single graph to illustrate their point of view, which is called the MBH98 also know as the Hockey Stick Graph. This graph shows variations of the earth’s surface temperature for the past 1000 years. This graph shows a steady climate and environment till about 1900 and then the graph goes literally up the wall. It shows that the temperature climbed about 9o C over the past hundred years, which is a big deal concerning global climate.
The philosophy of global warming is exceptionally comprehensible on what controls cycles of climate change. The first is recurring variations in the sun's energy output. The sun has been measured according to its brightness as to how hot it is and studies show that according to the sun’s brightness the temperature fluctuates appropriately. The second is the peculiarity in the earth's orbit. Third is the influence of plate tectonics on the spreading of continents and oceans. Lastly is the alleged "greenhouse effect," which is caused by atmospheric gases such as gaseous water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides, which help to confine radiant heat, which might otherwise break out into space. This last “control of climate,” the “greenhouse effect,” actually is a fragment component in global climate change. Commonly understood, but infrequently revealed is the reality that 95% of this greenhouse effect is due exclusively to natural water vapor. So, of the outstanding 5%, only 0.2% to 0.3% of the greenhouse effect is due to emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases of human resources. If were in a global warming crisis, even the most assertive and costly proposals for restraining industrialized carbon dioxide emissions would have an unnoticeable effect on the global climate.
The IPCC is disregarding fact to push an exaggerated idea of global warming that they know they will get the political response they want. They are a political organization that was set up by the United Nations to provide evidence to support the framework of climate change, government has assigned it, and it is entirely political. Anything that does not go with this exaggerated political issue is tossed aside and disregarded. There have been reviewers for the IPCC reports that have been excommunicated from the organization because the IPCC did not like the fact that these men were giving an opposing argument. Where the government has placed their entire philosophies about global warming in the IPCC, the IPCC has placed all their philosophies solely in their computer models. If the IPCC wanted to place all the different possible components in their models it would be up to 5 million different variables. With that said there is not a single computer in the world that can handle that kind of data, but more importantly handle all of the calculations of the interactions and complexities of the climate. These computers that they are using are incapable of properly handling the most important ingredient of all of this, water vapor. Therefore, I believe they are impractical to use and serve no logical purpose as a means of finding fact about our climate increase.
The IPCC’s main evidence of global warming is that the climate is changing and it is getting warmer. This seems like a compelling argument right off the fly, but what if you dig past the obvious facts. The climate has always been changing and it always will change, regardless of what things humans are doing or not doing. Professor Tim Patterson, Department of Earth Science at Carleton University states, “The only constant about climate is change, it changes continually.” Past researchers have concluded that between 1400 and even as late as 1900 there were regions all over the world that where much colder than normal and this time periods was known as the “Little Ice Age,” and before that there were regions that were unusually warmer.

I am writing this paper for a class and I will post the rest of it when it is finished. Just about two weeks ago I was a strong supporter of global warming, but once I started to study it for myself I found that global warming has so many holes and lies in it!!!

To Further Defend...

They are asking the question, "Why Hip Hop?" We are asking the question, "Why not Hip Hop?"...

Over the years every Christian has dealt with the question, "What does it look like to invade culture with God's view point?" One of the things that Jesus Christ wants, based on Colossians 1:19-23 is to bring everything to subjection under his feet and that includes culture. So just like the first century Christians dealt with Hellenism we deal with Hip Hop. In 2 Peter chapter 1, Peter deals with different issues in Hellenistic philosophy which definitely had unredeemable components. But what he did was he coped some titles of things that looked like Christian character and said, “Oh, this is reusable because God even says this stuff.” What we want to add to it is Jesus and faith. When you look at verses one through four he wants to invade it with Jesus and faith. And what happens when you invade it with those two things they are instantly redeemable. And once they are instantly redeemable, you are speaking the gospel in the language of the people that God has called us to reach.

And so what we have to do is not push away from Hip Hop Culture, but see how we can develop indigenous missionaries to invade it for his name sake. Just like Jesus invaded time from heaven to become incarnate and speak the gospel in the language of the people. That is what we need to be able to do. We need to see people go back, back into culture, not just put them in the four walls of a church, but go back into culture to invade it and inject it with Gods viewpoint, Gods way of thinking, Gods way of doing things.

To Further Define...

Why Hip Hop...

Well these days it might be better stated as "wild hip hop." As we know there are not too many places where the Hip-Hop culture isn't felt. From fashion to politics to culture, even in corporate America, Hip Hop has left a deep impression, not only in our country, but also around the world. And unfortunately there are a bunch of social and moral ills that have become synonymous with Hip Hop in some people's minds. We can also see the impression it has left on a generation that has allowed Hip Hop to be its tutor. So we believe for as such a time as this God has purposely allowed a remnant to thrive (CMR) who have various backgrounds and skill sets but who live to bring God's word to bear on the current Hip Hop effected populists. We acknowledge that God's chief organism for reaching the world is the church. This campaign (future posts) is designed to continue to educate the Christian community as well as to appeal to them for the support of this vital mission. During the next leg of the campaign, we will continue to further define the issues that face our nation due to the lack of salt and light in the midst of a good portion of a world gone Hip Hop. We will also further defend, not Hip Hop in and of itself, but the importance of anyone in any culture to be used by God to proclaim his supremacy in and above the culture's norms. And lastly, we will further demonstrate and put on display what God has already been doing in so many places through so many people who have become prime examples of what Hip Hop, the Hip Hop affected, and Hip Hop infused ministry can look like when it is submitted to the Kingdom agenda of Jesus Christ.
