What if climate change is real and human caused--what should Christians do about it?

The US excited the Paris accords.

In all likelihood, most of the nations in it will fall well short of their promises.

But Paris is your answer to so-called overpopulation.

The Paris accords aren't about population. You're pretending to know what you're talking about, again, Stipe.

So, again, how are you going to enforce your ideas?

Reality?

OK, the US has not excited the Paris accord, and cannot until November 2020.

I didn't say Paris was the solution to overpopulation, but a contribution to preventing mass population movements.

Please, learn to read Stripe. Your lack of ability to follow a series of posts is becoming an issue now.

Barbarian chuckles:That's the beauty of it. We get choices, if we decide to do something. If not, nature will do it for us. And you won't like that.Life isn't always the way you'd like it to be, Stipe. Learn to adjust.You don't know how to reduce population growth? No idea? Easiest way is to increase properity. As affluence rises, fertility rates decline.I thought you said you knew about this stuff, Stipe. Is this like your attempt to pretend you had learned about Earth science?

Try to respond to the question actually asked instead of bloviating. :up:

OK.

Let's start again.

What did Blablabarian mean by "exercising restraint"?

The Paris accords aren't about population. You're pretending to know what you're talking about, again, Stipe.

Oh, you'd forgotten this was about population?

Have you figured out how big 1.5 acres is yet?

Stipe is the human non-sequitur.

Barbarian explains to Stipe that the Paris accords aren't about population.

Then it was probably a bad idea for you to bring the Paris accords into it.

Have you figured out how big 1.5 acres is yet?

As I showed you, a square about 250 feet on a side.

(Barbarian pulls up calculator)
Actually... 255.61690084968951442183151638564 feet on a side. The stuff after the little dot amounts to less than one, so even though it looks a lot bigger than 250, it isn't really much bigger at all, Stipe. Sorry for the confusion.

Get back to us when you're willing to be sensible. :up:

I think I know what's confusing you, Stipe.

1.5 Acres = 65340 Square Feet
https://www.asknumbers.com/AcresToSquarefeetConversion.aspx

That probably seems like a lot to you. But a square that contains 65340 square feet will be less than 256 feet on a side. You see, to find the length of the side, you take the square root of the area. And the square root of 265340 is 255.6169, rounded to four decimal places. As you learned, the length of the decimal place really doesn't add much to the total size. But I can see how that confused you.

There is a good reason why law courts treat all testimony unsupported by physical evidence as suspect. You can keep testing reallity, but people have all sorts of reasons for writing what they write.

You can also test what people have written. It gets more difficult the longer you wait after the event. In other words, the writing IS reality, whether the subject of the writing is reality or not. SOMEBODY wrote that stuff. That doesn't make the writing true, but it is true that somebody wrote it--so it is one "witness" to an event. Whether it is a true witness or not must be decided.

Scientists are also witnesses--and they write down their observations. But they are not witnesses to the events, they are only witnesses to the experiments or analyses that are being done during their lifetimes. Thus, scientists today can only give an opinion about an interpretation of something that may or may not bear any weight on the matter in question.

And then we have to choose to believe or not believe them, just as we do the bible accounts or other historical accounts.

I agree.

A scientist that has written a report for the court can expect to be called to testify and be interrogated about their findings. Without the scientist present the report will be considered hersay unless both sides agree with the findings.

The Bible would have the legal status of heresay in a court, bacause the authors are not available for cross-examination. Scientific results. OTOH, can be replicated by other scientists who can validate what was done. If prosecution and defence scientists agree, then the science is provisionally accepted. The Bible cannot be verified by experiment, or even cross referenced to other independent documents in any significant way, since many contemporary documents draw on the Bible for information.

The choice to believe science that has been verified by independents is categorically a different sort of judgement from that of deciding whether to believe the Bible for what must be personal reasons.

I have something to offer on this, but it comes from a completely different angle than anyone else on this thread seems to have taken.

I have been a "denier" of the politically pushed narrative by the left for a long time. It just doesn't make sense to me. The earth is too much of a self-correcting system for what they allege to be true. However, in the last couple of weeks I ran across something that is very interesting on this subject. I'll give a couple of links and let people decide for themselves whether or not they buy into it. As for myself, I think it looks pretty credible.

What I'm speaking to is geoengineering done by multiple governments around the world. It appears that this has been going on for around 70 years on some level with a massive increase in it in the last few decades, and it is having a massive effect on our climate and our health.

This first link is to a video interview with a guy by the name of Dane Wigington on usawatchdog.com. The second is a link to Wigington's site. On it there is an incredible amount of documentation for what he purports. I have downloaded about 40 of the documents that Wigington has on his site and am in the process of studying them and researching what he provides. He provides a lot of scientific, government, and academic evidence to back his conclusions. His site is pretty large so expect, if you're interested in learning if he is really credible, to spend quite a bit of time learning.

If Wigington is right, there is a lot of work for both Christians and non-Christians to do to respond to this. For me this is my first attempt to spread the word on this. Spend some time and see if you think this is credible or not, and if you do, start conversations on it with people you know as it will take a lot of political pressure from we the people to stop what is going on.
