A day in the year when thousands of bloggers write about the same thing in order to raise awareness.  This year I have jumped on the bandwagon, and the topic on the table is climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Climate change is one of those hot topic issues at the moment, lots of important people are making a big fuss over it and raising it&#8217;s importance.  I don&#8217;t really have a problem with this, climate change I&#8217;m sure is a really big deal and should be addressed.  What I do have a problem with though is peoples approach, and supposed solutions to the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Almost without exception every supposed solution to climate change has one thing in common.  They all rely on us.  I&#8217;ll be honest, I don&#8217;t really want to rely on us if there is a global crisis in the making (or already made, depending on your point of view).  In my experience people are generally unreliable, and prone to do stuff for selfish reasons.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m all for good stewardship of our planet.  God commands us to look after where we live, right from the very beginning (Adam) this was our job.  I&#8217;m certain that a lot of the proposed solutions for climate change are 100% positive things and we should probably all be doing them.  However the only person who can really avert a global disaster is God.  I will do my utmost to look after this planet I live on, but I pray that I never forget who is really in charge, and who can really affect change in this place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah the internet, birthplace of international talk like a pirate day, once again you have created something quite special.
