God ‘has absolute control over the climate’

U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan and all the others who are trashing President Trump for withdrawing from the Paris Accord need to stop because our president did what he should have. Global warming is not man-made.

The truth is that there is a living sovereign God who created the heaven and earth, who has absolute control over the climate, and if we are experiencing global warming, I would say it is His will. Ultimately God is in charge of all adversity that comes our way. To deny His involvement contradicts His power and sovereignty.

The Lord may or may not be doing it. If He is, it's because there is so much sin in the world.

He gave the world gas, oil and coal for our use and well being.
