Book on How to Teach God’s Word on Climate Change to your Kids
From the ad: “Climate Change for Kids…and Parents Too!” is more than just a book — it’s a roadmap for families seeking to understand and engage with one of the defining challenges of our time. Full of brilliant illustrations, scientific, logical, and theological truths, this resource will empower concerned parents and curious children to navigate the complexities of climate change with biblical wisdom, compassion, and faith.
Exactly what “theological truths” are may be a bit unclear. First, are we talking about the Christian God, the Jewish God, or Allah? What about the polytheists, e.g., the Hindus and the earlier civilizations in Europe and Scandinavia?
From the video trailer: Climate change is just one example of what happens when we ignore God’s word and pay attention to man’s word. And yes, the Genesis 8:22 makes this quite clear: “Only God can destroy the Earth.”
Not to quibble about subtleties in the meaning of words, but in no case will climate change “destroy the Earth,” though it’s making life for most of us more difficult and painful than it’s been in the past.
Regardless, if this is what you already believe, I’m not sure you need to spend $18 for a book, however nicely illustrated, that lays all this out across 80 pages.
From the book: Beyond the predominant theories attributing climate change to human activity, we must also weigh in various factors such as natural cycles of the earth and the sun, which significantly influence climate patterns.
Does anyone really believe that tens of thousands of climate scientists, the eldest of whom have been working on this problem since the 1970s, have somehow failed to consider the “natural cycles of the earth and the sun?” That’s a seriously stupid accusation. The book’s authors should be ashamed of themselves.
We’re told that, politically speaking, “Pennsylvania is composed of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, with Alabama in between.”

As noted previously, there are two distinct types of Trump supporters: a) Amoral/immoral rich people, who, at the top echelon, donate huge sums of money in exchange for tax breaks at the corporate and personal levels, and b) working-class white people who like how Trump punishes the already marginalized: Latinos, Muslims, blacks, LGBTQs, women, the poor, and the uneducated, and who make nominal donations, a large percentage of which go to keeping their hero out of prison.
. . . . before Trump created a pejorative name for Kamala Harris and starting attacking her with it.
Donald Trump faces plenty of obstacles, but perhaps chief among them is the considerable number of Republicans who maintain some level of integrity.
A reader asks:
At least in the U.S., this is going in the opposite direction, largely via disinformation campaigns. Now we have masses of people, supported by Fox News and other right-wing media outlets, believing that climate change is a hoax, that phasing out fossil fuels is killing the American economy, and that environmentalism is for the woke, radical left.
I love this quote from 20th Century theoretical physicist Richard Feynman, and I’m glad that he was content to live with doubt.
