I’m writing about this long and complex subject because it may be the right time to address it. And while those like environmentalists and our PM are “Trying” to make this an issue I’d like to ask,
Why are we worried about this?
A recent article in a Toronto Newspaper reported from the United Nations intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said that there will be “Irreversible changes” in our Climate. In other words, because of lifestyle of cars, planes, boats, and our cutting down of trees and stuff, it will cause us to say choke on the greenhouse gases which comes from our cars mostly and choke or get sick from the Air that we breathe. Irreversible Changes. And let’s not forget, this is a governing body that’s trying to warn us and the entire World of what’s coming. In the next 12 years. Somewhere between 2030 and 2052. It says “We must take immediate and intensive action” to cut greenhouse gases. Or it will get worse they say.
We should note first of all that we can’t care for the entire World, we can only deal with what’s happening on Canadian soil not anywhere else. We should also note that it won’t make a big difference, because Canada is only responsible for 0.3 of the World’s greenhouse emissions. In Ontario the newly elected Premier scrapped the Cap and Trade system, brought in by the previous liberal regime, that caused the price of gas to go up. Now, it seems in Ontario, the Provincial Government is not to concerned about greenhouse gases because it cancelled pretty much every environmental program, from the previous adminstration. And the people don’t seem to be concerned either. I’m not concerned because to me, the Lord is in control of the Earth’s atmosphere.
I think the one thing we should have is Knowledge, and why the liberals are working on this. Here’s what you need to know. First.
We need trees because they give out Oxygen to the atmosphere. Oxygen is around 20% of the air we breathe. They, as well as plants absorb the GHG in the body of the tree. A tree is comprised of about 50% carbon. I will last for years. Just in Toronto, we have so many trees in our streets and neighborhood. There should be no worries there. If you want to help the environment, plant flowers in your front lawn. Carbon is also absorbed by water. Such as lake Ontario.
Second, God is in control of our Earth, our climate. Read in Genesis 8:22 where God said, “While the earth remains, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” This, he promised, after the flood, where the only survivors were Noah, his family and all the animals inside. Noah, once he came out of the Ark, built an altar and offered sacrifices to the Lord. And as soon as the Lord smelled the soothing aroma, He made his promises.
Third, As I said, the liberals are working on this. And the result is you’re paying for it. Ontario Premier Doug Ford may have helped this cause, he cancelled the previous liberal Cap and Trade system. And the result is that we’re paying less in gas. But we’re still paying, thanks to Justin Trudeau and his Carbon Tax. But even he’s not completely on board, he’s admitted that Canada compared to the Worlds’ Countries emitters such as United States, China, Countries in Asia are the worse offenders and Canada emits just 0.2 of the World’s greenhouse gases. And he wants to clean it up. And it won’t make a difference–to speak of. But we are paying for it at the pump, as well as the food we eat.
Let’s face it, the transportation of goods such as food has to be transported from the farm to the shelves at our Supermarkets. And it is reflected in the price we pay. And it’s expensive. Bread is over $2 a loaf. It would be less if we didn’t have carbon pricing. What you need to remember is that while we do yield ghg, Carbon CO2, It’s being absorbed by our atmosphere. And based on that, we should not have to worry about things like Temperature rising or it getting to hot around us because our lifestyle of cars and traffic.
Fourth. I mentioned the word Lifestyle. The realistic way of looking at this is that we as individuals are not to concerned about global warming or temperature. The government knows this too. If you’re a Mom, and you’re driving your kids to soccer practice with your SUV or Minivan, to you, well you’re not to concerned that you’re driving something that’s expensive on gas. Even if you answered on a survey that “yes I am concerned about Climate Change” our lifestyle probably says otherwise. Well don’t worry, even David Suzuki lives a life that says otherwise. He owns 8 houses. There’s a commercial making the rounds these days, that shows a giant size tractor getting his fuel at the Petro Canada gas station. It’s unusual to be seeing one of those giant things at a gas station isn’t it, that’s because Petro Canada goes to them so they can get their gas/diesel. We’re paying for that also. I don’t imagine it’s much, but Farming is a business too.
For the record, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has said that the Conservatives will be releasing a full Climate Plan in time for the general election next year. But, Doug Ford, went on record to say he’d cancel the Cap and Trade plan in Ontario, and said he won’t have anything to do with the Federal plan. Everybody knew it, and he was still elected. It’s still not in our lifestyle to do something about this, is it? And deep down inside, we don’t really believe it do we? We admit it in a public survey, but we don’t do anything do we? The only thing we do maybe is that we turn out our lights. But, our lifestyle still doesn’t dictate it. I drive a Chevrolet Cruze. It’s a beautiful little red car. Very good on gas.
Am I worried about tomorrow’s Climate? No.
And neither should you. It’s in God’s hands. If you hear about things like a Tsunami, a hurricane coming in on the east Coast of United States, it’s in Gods’ control. God will judge sin and He uses things like this to judge the inhabitants of this World. It has nothing to do with our Climate. But, if we were to look down on Earth from space like Chris Hadfield did and saw just the size, and beauty and magnitude of Earth, you wouldn’t be worried, you’d be amazed. From a space ship you can see the lights where there is Thunder and Lightning. From space it looks like little flashes of light. But you can see it, from Space. An Evangelist who lived in Toronto and heard it live, from three astronauts in Space and once, I think from seeing around the corner they took one look at ALL the stars so perfectly lined up that it could only be described in one way. Ravi Zacharias who heard it live on TV, “OH MY GOD!” A look, and it would thrash down any argument of evolution, any explosion of stars, planets,the Solar System, Creation of the Universe. One look and you see, The Majesty of God. His Creation. His Glory. See Psalm 19:1-4, to get an idea.
Justin Trudeau may not claim to know much about Climate Change, but he’s spoken about it in Parliament. I think he personally knows about as much as I do. Not a whole lot. But, he’s the Prime Minister of Canada and he knows how to make money for his government. And that means he’s making money on the gas that we’re paying. I will be going to close with this.
I’m still don’t know if the Conservatives will have a plan about this.
But, maybe they don’t need too. There is a Carbon Tax, and we’re paying for it. So, if this is the reality among us, we should remember this. Doug Ford cancelled a Plan about this and we’re not paying for it anymore. And so thus, he’s not concerned about this. Why should we? This is not the Earth that will suddenly be getting to hot in the next few years, our lifestyles will not be changing anything. Do you honestly believe that in Vancouver it’s going to be nice and warm and hot and breezy while in Toronto there’s too many cars too much heat, we need less cars to bring the heat down?
Remember, this is all under God’s Control. Read Genesis 8:22. Also, It’s impossible for us to do something to increase the Earth’s Temperature. So, stop worrying, and in fact, ENJOY the new SUV you just bought. And let’s be serious, you want to don’t you? The liberals want to be able to generate more money for themselves to spend on Government programs such as Healthcare. Actually, I think it’s their job. And no, it’s not going to be used for environmental things or programs to make things cooler around us, if at all possible. They want the money for themselves and it should be taken as that. |
You shouldn’t be concerned if Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer doesn’t announce a new Climate Change plan. The plan is to lower taxes and to take the price of gas across the Country down to a lower price, just like Ontario Premier Doug Ford. Justin Trudeau would say, “They don’t care about what’s happening, but we do.” You’re also going to be paying for it. But, don’t be concerned, it is in God’s very capable Hands. Read Genesis 8:22. Learn to trust in who’s telling the truth. Andrew Scheer said, “There’s no correlation between the reduction of emissions and what the liberals are proposing.” It’s up to you to make a living for yourself and you should decide if you can afford to pay more or not. Even if you can, why pay more? You need money both now and tomorrow, and for retirement. Why give it to the government? We shouldn’t feel bad if we don’t want to give it to the government. They may waste it. Why not plan to buy a house or a bigge or a faster car we may want for the future. Myself, I’d like a brand new Camaro. God willing. Anyways, This can be an issue of trust. If voters DON’T believe the liberals to do much about solving the problem of emissions, then they will end up keeping the money for themselves, while not meeting their own targets. And it still won’t be making a big difference. Doing nothing to some people may be bad. But doing something that doesn’t work– while costing jobs and raising taxes is far worse. So vote Conservative, and enjoy that SUV that we here in Ontario are enjoying!
