Re: [asa] Creation Care

I've been following the global warming threads. I was going to post something but then when I checked the list again there had been a couple dozen replies! Don't you people have jobs?!?! :) Anyway, at the risk of saying something that's already been said, my comment is this: I am not very impressed by short term trends. I accept the climatologic data that shows correlations between anthropogenic greenhouse gasses and recent global warming. But our current, larger global warming trend began about 18,000 years ago. What are the odds that an 18,000 year trend will reverse itself just because we stop poisoning the atmosphere? I think global warming is a safe bet. I also don't think there's much we can do about it. I see it as a wildfire that we didn't start and we can't extinguish, although it's probably not smart to pour fuel on it.
