How preposterous it was for all these world leaders to meet in France on efforts to change climate trends, while seemingly ignorant to the fact that there is a living sovereign God who has total control over the climate and the whole universe. What a waste of money and time.

The Lord God has already destroyed the Earth once because of man's wickedness. The Lord was grieved that He had made man on the Earth, and His heart was filled with pain. So the Lord said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I created from the face of the Earth."

So the Lord put an end to all people, except the Noah family. He destroyed both the people and the earth by rain. The waters flooded the Earth for 150 days. (Genesis 6: 1-22, 7: 1-24) NIV

We are now living in the last days before the Lord will destroy the earth with fire. The progressives will then have their global warming.

"The day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the Earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and Godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed it's coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with His promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new Earth, the home of righteousness." (2 Peter 3: 10-13) NIV
