Article 5 Global Weather

Devastating weather has occurred all over the world. New York City just had its hottest June-to-August stretch in history. Moscow suffered from one-in-a-million heat wave. Pakistan is reeling from a flooding that inundated close to one fifth of the country. Scientist, over the past decades, has predicted that with the increase amount of greenhouse gases, disastrous weather will occur more frequent. Scientist can’t blame global warming for these events. They still insist that it won’t occur; even when the public has high confidence that global warming is well under its way creeping to earth as we speak.

I think global warming is a very true thing. Although I’m not a scientist, the truth in my mind tells me that the earth is warming up and it will continue to get hotter. This could be the apocalypse the Bible talks about. Since God won’t destroy the earth with water, the melting of the polar ice caps probably won’t kill us all, but the strong winds and increasing hot weather could. In midsummer days in tropical countries, the heat can be unbearable. Taiwan, for example, had its hottest summer again this year. When I went outside, I wanted to go right back indoors. This could very much be our end.
