FIRST-PERSON: The meltdown of Global Warming alarmism
BURKE, Va. (BP)--Forget all you've heard about unprecedented global warming; global warming so rapid it can't be natural but must be anthropogenic; global warming threatening to devastate economies, ecosystems, and perhaps even human civilization itself; global warming on which "the science is settled" and "the debate is over."

2009 REVIEW: Hope, change & more of the same
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--A number of stories grabbed national headlines for at least a brief time in the year that now was:
-- The deaths of political icon Ted Kennedy and pop superstar Michael Jackson elicited heartfelt tributes as well as harsh critiques.
-- Likewise, the country's collective conscience was disturbed to learn about Tiger Woods' adultery.
-- Even the Swine Flu burst into public awareness, but despite dire predictions from the federal government and the United Nations, the epidemic did not rise to the severity of the seasonal flu viruses of 2008.
However, 2009 will not be remembered for the merely tantalizing, or sensational, or even for a deeply emotional moment, but for the promises of enduring hope and change … and unfortunately for the frustrating realities of "more of the same."
MIRACULOUS BEGINNING
Shortly into 2009, The "Miracle on the Hudson" gave the nation an emotional surge of hope when on Jan. 15 US Airways Captain Chesley Sullenberger piloted his powerless aircraft to an emergency landing on the river, saving the lives of all 155 onboard after losing both engines to bird strikes seconds after takeoff.
AN AMERICAN FIRST
The lifted national spirit was a fitting precursor to the historic inauguration of the first African American president of the United States which took place five days later. Hope was the word of the day or at least the politically correct response as liberals and conservatives alike wrote and spoke reverently of the promise in the Declaration of Independence fulfilled in Barack Obama: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Whatever the true feelings of the political pundits, when all was said and done, it seemed most Americans were sincerely moved by the symbolism of how far we have come in race relations in the U.S. represented in Obama's election by a white majority electorate.

Climate expert: Christians should care about debate
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (BP)--A biblical worldview dictates Christians should be concerned about what is spiritually at stake in the United Nations climate treaty negotiations in Copenhagen, Denmark, a spokesman for the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation said.
Speaking from Copenhagen as a non-governmental organization representative, E. Calvin Beisner told Baptist Press Dec. 17 Christians should have a unique perspective on the global warming debate.
"Other religious worldviews tend to see the earth as the product of blind chance over time and therefore very fragile and subject to being knocked into catastrophe by minor influences," Beisner said.
"But that isn't the proper inference from a biblical worldview, which says that the earth is instead the product of God's intelligent design and is sustained by His omnipotent faithfulness. From that we should infer that earth itself with its various ecosystems and its climate system is robust, self-regulating, self-correcting and admirably suited for human flourishing." Read More |
