Green Mania

I remember sitting in CEP (Cultural Enrichment Program) at Campbell University and for two or three hour long sessions we had an "expert" on the "ozone problem" bore us to death. Among the evils of the world were cars, factories, and even aerosol cans. Now that the ozone has fixed itself and we have learned that was all a farce, the environmentalists have moved on to other ventures. Now it is all green this and green that. Obama warns that the planet is in dire straights and Al Gore has been promoting global warming for years. My question is: "Why? What do they have to gain from this" The New York Times front page article today clues us in. Al Gore may become the first "carbon billionaire." I truly believe global warming is a farce. The planet goes through cycles.
Think about it this way: We have only been collecting data for a few hundred years. These liberals who push global warming believe the earth has been here for millions and millions of years. Based on that, how can you really know ANYTHING about the climate and the future of it in such a tiny time span of study? The fact is that people are making a killing off of "going green." From car companies to clean energy etc. Here's the best part....who do you think is making these folks like Al Gore rich? We are. The Times article details how companies that Gore invested in are getting billions (with a B) of government grants. Taxpayer money lining their pockets.
As Christians we should be concerned about the environment because it is God's creation and we are stewards. However, we need to be aware of "green mania" because the real "green" involved is in the form of green money.
