The world has heated and cooled and will continue to do so long after we’re gone unless the Apocalypse happens.

Well, I’ll bet if you ask the odds-makers in Vegas about it, they’d say that betting on the sun coming up in the morning is a much, much safer bet than betting on a climate catastrophe in 12 years.

You know what the farmer said when his mule died: Well, he’s never done that before!
Some day, the Second Coming will happen. Hasn’t happened yet, but it is better to be ready than to doubt it will ever happen.

Stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour. (Matt. 25:13)

Consider running all this by your doctor. This level of anxiety might be a chemical imbalance.
 
Trust that God loves and cares about you and He is in control. He has kept this Earth around for us through all kinds of disasters and will continue to do so as long as it is His will. He is much bigger than climate change. Give Him your fears in prayer.
 
I mean the world is gonna end when it’s gonna end. Plus we know that humans will be around in the end days since it’s all over the Bible. So no matter how bad it gets humans WILL be on the earth probably all over the place since it says Israel will be attacked from all sides (or something close to it I believe). Also, don’t forget that God promised he would never again destroy the earth with water.

First of all, you need to decrease your media consumption. There’s a lot of unnecessary and unhelpful fear mongering in the media lately. Contrary to popular belief, the sky hasn’t fallen yet.

Don’t become paralyzed with fear. This Too Shall Pass. Continue living your life and be a good steward of creation.

In the words of Reinhold Niebuhr,

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.”

It’s very unlikely that Climate Change will directly kill you. Our ancestors endured the end of the last Ice Age and other tremendous hardships with far less at their disposal. In my opinion there are currently far more imminent threats.
 
While I am not saying that we should not take care of the planet, these doomsday predications are just a ploy used by politicians to scare people into handing over more of our money and freedoms. Never underestimate human adaptability.

Climate alarmism is a cult.
 
Global warming was a topic at least 50 years ago when I was in college. If you live in the United States you probably can’t live an average life without consuming a lot of water directly and indirectly, using a lot of energy in the form of electricity, natural gas, fossil fuel gasoline, etc. and you probably unavoidably produce a lot of solid waste from packaging, etc. It does no good to worry excessively about this except to reduce your carbon footprint. Some have sought what is called a minimalist lifestyle (you can look that up).

Until governments and societies decide to make changes, the situation will get worse. While traveling in jets that use a lot of fossil-fuel derived energy the Pope (ironically) says that everybody else should cut back on fossil fuels, so even he can’t escape the culture and technology that he criticizes.

Problem is all that data is collected from airports and major road arteries that heat up as traffic increases and pavement or concrete is laid down in the facinity. Call your local weather station (even the news one) and they will tell you they get their temperature data from the local airport.
