Those of you breathing a sigh of relief over the thought that the theory of man made climate change may have had holes in it, may not want to read this for fear of a big dose of realism. For those who dare, here’s the findings of the world’s leading governmental International Panel for Climate Change.
Donna Williams is an Australian born adult with autism who was assessed as psychotic at the age of 2 in 1965, labelled disturbed in the 1970s and diagnosed as autistic in her 20s in 1991.

She is the author of two international bestselling autobiographies and has 10 published books including 4 text books widely used in autism education and two books of poetry and prose.

Donna’s is a speaker in demand around the world due to her unique perspective and ability to share her feelings and experiences on a very personal level. More information about her and her life’s work can be found on her website at http://www.donnawilliams.net .
I know people that STILL believe that climate change is a hoax, and they will not even explain why! They merely reply, ‘Come on! It can’t be true!’
Willful ignorance is a frightful thing.
The irony in the U.S. of course is that some of the least enviro-friendly people are call themselves conservative Christians. I wonder how God feels about the fact that his own followers are intentionally destroying the earth they believe he created in seven days?
As a Messianic Jew, I am very concerned in doing whatever I can to save and enjoy our planet. I feel strongly that Godd does not want us to destroy the earth but to presetrve as much as possible. Generally churches do not emphasize earth stewardship but to strive to love ourselves and one another and to forgive. Church goers like the general population are not perfect and may not have enough decernment of the environmental effects of activities. Many people interpret the bible wrong by implying that it is okay to exploit our resourse. The bible encourages the opposite and this is what a lot of people do not understand.

Thanks for the input, and I understand that! Lots of religious people, Christian or otherwise, would agree. I myself am a spiritual person, rather than religious, but many churches, and other houses of worship, habe statements about the importance of the environment. I was thinking more like organizations like Focus on the Family or the Family Research Council, that think global warming is fake.
I am not a fan of those orgs at all!
