I am encouraged.

Where on earth did you hear that Land supported the global warming junk science?

To my knowledge, this article is very much in line with his thinking on the subject.

I was horrified to know what he believed when it came to our climate change. To know that the Southern Baptist convention is trying to undermine what we are doing to the environment is terrible. It’s interesting to me how scientists all over the world are saying that because of human Co2 emissions the world’s climate is changing, yet these Christian scientists refute this idea. What for? Because they believe that because I care about our environment I’m a tree huger?

I was embarrassed when I found out that it was my convention saying these things. The movie I saw even claimed Co2 emissions were a positive thing and the abnormal heat would be good because people prefer being hot rather than cold. How ridiculous does that sound?  Dominion doesn’t mean destroy… let’s be good stewards of the gifts we’ve been given.

I’d recommend checking out http://cornwallalliance.org for a biblically accurate approach to creation care.

You might also check out Land’s book (from 1992) on the subject, “The Earth is the Lords.” (To make sure whatever video you saw accurately portrays his stance.)

Evidenced by this thread, both you an Meredith have come to completely opposite conclusions as to what Land actually believes on this subject. It might be interesting to find out who’s right…

:-)

I’m not surprised you got the pro-global warming argument in college.  What you want to concentrate on is the actual science.  Do the research and you’ll discover that not only are there tens of thousands of scientists who have dissented from the UN IPCC report and recommendations, but their ranks are growing.  Google the “senate minority report on global warming” to read statements from about 700 real scientists who are convinced that this whole global warming thing is a hoax.

Dr. Land is dead on in his opinions on this matter.  The previous referral to the Cornwall Alliance is also an excellent suggestion.  You can be a Christian environmentalist, as I am, without drinking the AGW cool-aid.  Trust the science, not Al Gore, the major media outlets, or the UN IPCC.  In order to get to the science you will have to get past the politics.  This may sound odd but if you resist intellectual laziness and seek the truth on this matter, you will find it.

Here are some questions to get you started:  CO2 is what percentage of the atmosphere?  Humans are responsible for what percentage of atmospheric CO2?  Have CO2 levels gone up in the last 10 years? What has the global temperature done in the last decade?  Why is Greenland so-named?  Why won’t global warming proponents debate the skeptics?  What are the benefits of a warmer planet?  How are the polar bears actually doing?  How long have sea-levels been rising?  What does a hockey stick have to do with global warming predictions?  Do meteorologists claim to be able to accurately predict the weather 10 days from now? Why not?

You’ll find all the answers (and more) at the Cornwall Alliance and the Senate minority report websites, but there is so much much more.

Don’t be duped by fake science.

I see no evidence of that happening.
