Global Warming: Science or Politics?

“On October 14, Lord Christopher Monckton gave a presentation in St. Paul, MN on the subject of global warming. In this 4-minute excerpt from his speech, he issues a dire warning to all Americans regarding the United Nations Climate Change Treaty that is scheduled to be signed in Copenhagen in December 2009.

A draft of the treaty can be read here.

Chuck Norris has an article in WorldNetDaily with a good analysis of the treaty.

There has been considerable debate raised about Monckton’s conclusion that the Copenhagen Treaty would cede US sovereignty. His comments appear to be based upon his interpretation of the The Supremacy Clause in the US Constitution (Article VI, paragraph 2). This clause establishes the Constitution, Federal Statutes, and U.S. TREATIES as the supreme law of the land. Concerns have been raised in the past that a particularly ambitious treaty may supersede the US Constitution. In the 1950s, a constitutional amendment, known as the Bricker Amendment, was proposed in response to such fears, but it failed to pass. You can read about the Bricker Amendment in a 1956 Time Magazine article.

Lord Monckton served as a policy adviser to Margaret Thatcher. He has repeatedly challenged Al Gore to a debate to which Gore has refused. Monckton sued to stop Gore’s film “An Inconvenient Truth” from being shown in British schools due to its inaccuracies. The judge found in-favor of Monckton, ordering 9 serious errors in the film to be corrected. Lord Monckton travels internationally in an attempt to educate the public about the myth of global warming.

What Is Truth?

TruthDecayWhat Is Truth? Philosophers and theologians have asked this question for ages.  Satan’s first temptation to Eve, came in casting doubt on God’s truth.  Pilate asked Jesus that very question:

“Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, ‘You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice.’ Pilate said to him, ‘What is truth?’” John 18:37, 38.

We hear politicians calling the President a liar.  Republicans call Democrats liars and vice versa.  Politicians broadcast “”facts” about healthcare reform, and then we find out these are fiction and not facts.   The Bible tells us that the Lord detests  lying (Proverbs 12:22)

Today we are bombarded by news outlets on radio, television, and the Internet. There was a time in my life when what you heard on TV news was considered the truth. That time has long passed. When I was in grade school, we used to read about citizens in Russia, China, and other countries run by totalitarian governments, being deceived by “propaganda.”  I used to wonder how people could be so blind as to not recognize it for what it was.  Today, I no longer wonder.  Our American culture is eat up with Secular Humanism and bombarded by propaganda on every side.

Watch this video and you may never watch the news in the same way!  It is part of a documentary called “How Then Shall We Live” by Dr. Francis Schaeffer. You can get this DVD in its entirety at http://www.theapologeticsgroup.com.


What is the real root of Truth and of Lies?  We can find out in God’s Word:

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; . . . For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” John 1:14, 17.

“Why do you not understand what I say? . . . you are of your father the devil. . . . He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8:43, 44.

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life.’” JOHN 14:6.

“He who does what is true, comes to the light.” John 3:21.

“And I will pray the Father, and he will give you . . .the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you.” JOHN 14:16, 17.

“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth.” John 16:13.

“Let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God; for God is love.” I John 4:7, 8.

“Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in Him, ‘If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.’” John 8:31, 32.
