Did you know that you only have a few months—at most—left to live? Yes, that’s right, because a climate scientist from the University of Arizona predicted in 2016 that the climate situation was so severe that in just a decade he could not even imagine that there would be a single human being left on planet Earth. Well, this year it has been 10 years since his prediction. . . So are we all going to die from extreme temperatures not seen in “two billion years”?
Dr. Guy McPherson has published 55 peer-reviewed articles and is an Emeritus Professor. His theory of “near-term human extinction” – that humans will become extinct very soon – is considered “fringe” by most scientists, but that certainly hasn’t stopped him from touring, speaking, publishing, teaching and being interviewed as a climate expert! For example, take this interview from New Zealand in 2016 when he made this prediction:
Yes, he really said it,
In terms of mankind, our work is done, it has come to a close. . . We are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction. . . . I can’t imagine that there will be any humans on the planet in 10 years.
It’s been 10 years, and humans are still thriving and no closer to extinction.
Of course, it’s been 10 years, and humans are still thriving and no closer to extinction. His prediction was completely false. Things have not fallen apart so quickly that humans are clinging desperately to life and the only hope that there are microbes and fungi left to repopulate a desolate planet. Because he has the wrong starting point – evolution, millions of years, and atheism – he comes to completely wrong conclusions.
In 2018, climate-change activist Greta Thunberg tweeted an article that quoted another climate activist/professor as saying that climate change “could wipe out humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels in the next five years.” Again, a terrible prophecy that has not come to pass.
Al Gore’s environmental activism is another example – he made a lot of predictions about climate change in his 2006 documentary, an Inconvenient TruthIt has not come true.
Climate models are only as good as the data fed into them and the interpretations they draw. Dr. McPherson and climate alarmists like him don’t have all the information (after all, climate science is extremely complex) and when it comes to climate they have misinterpretations of the past, so they make inaccurate predictions that fail again and again.
Our climate has not evolved. It was created by God, intelligently designed with wisdom and foresight. And humans will not become extinct due to global warming. God has already decided how all this will end when He returns in judgment and creates a new heaven and a new earth.
Climate alarmists will continue to predict the end of the world or the end of humanity, but they will continue to be proven wrong.
For Christians, the future is not bleak and hopeless – we will spend eternity in perfection with our Creator. But for those who reject GodThe future is disappointing. Not because of the man-made climate crisis, but because God Will judge sin and those who have rejected Christ will be separated from Him forever. This is the reality! (Praise the Lord, we hope in Christ!)
Climate alarmists will continue to predict the end of the world or the end of humanity, but they will continue to be proven wrong.
Instead of worrying about perceived future disappointment, Christians should continue to obey the command God Given to us: To have wise and godly dominion over this creation (this means taking care of it). Godglory and our good), doing His work until the coming of the King, contending for the faith, being salt and light, and making disciples – all with the hope of a brand new Construction When Jesus returns someday.
What a difference a Biblical worldview makes!
