Remember when more than 400 scientists were revealed as "skeptical" about global warming hype? The New York Times's Andrew Revkin blogged about it, saying the "perennial tug of war" was actually "a distraction from fundamentals that are clearly established."
Of course, 44 Southern Baptists who buy into the green agenda received a respectful print story in the March 10 Times, widely quoting the church leaders saying things like: "when we destroy God's creation, it's similar to ripping pages from the Bible."
Actually, the man behind that statement, Jonathan Merritt, isn't really a church leader, according to the article - he's a 25-year-old seminary student. But he's "the spokesman for the Southern Baptist Environment and Climate Initiative." He used to be "an enemy of the environment," until he had the "epiphany" quoted above.
Such double-standard reporting on sides of the climate debate is standard for the networks, as the Business & Media Institute's new report shows. In "Global Warming Censored," BMI reveals how actors, musicians and just plain men on the street are used as voices in support of global warming hysteria.
400+ scientists or 44 Southern Baptists? Take your pick.

"Global" Warming : Doctrine of Men
March 11, 2008 - 13:08 ET by gideonmjamesGlobal warmists, especially eco-militant Christians ...
Matthew 15:9
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Colossians 2:20-22
(20) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments [false standards] of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances [mischief framed in unjust laws],
(21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
(22) Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Psalms 94:20
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
Global warming law, carbon credits, and the entirety of Al Gore's doctrine is nothing but mischief framed in a law.
Here's the real story
March 11, 2008 - 12:00 ET by ricklailEarlier today I posted on the OT about this. It was not the SBC but rather a seminary student. See this article

I grew up in Southern
March 11, 2008 - 12:24 ET by misterbee241I grew up in Southern Baptist churches, in fact, I'm a licensed minister in a local Southern Baptist church. There is one good thing in all of this - SB churches are not bound by anything the SBC does. Every SB church is autonomous, meaning they pick their own leadership (pastors, deacons, administrators, etc) and own the building and property the churches sit on. There is, at least in my knowledge, no such a thing as a "card-carrying" Baptist.
Having said all that, I disagree and reject this stand the SBC is taking. The mission of the church is to reach the lost for Christ, everything else is gravy. But Paul said it himself in Romans 1:25:
"Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the
creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."
Read the whole thing in context:

March 11, 2008 - 13:04 ET by gideonmjamesEnviro-militants are EXACTLY what Romans 1:20-25 is talking about ...
Romans 1:20-23, 25
(20) For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen [by all men], being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they [men who hold back the truth in unrighteousness] are without excuse:
(21) Because that, when they knew God [IF Al Gore has EVER known God], they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
(23) And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
(25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature [ktisis - creation ... i.e. earth, or nature, and the things therein] more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

N.Y.T wrong AGAIN...
March 11, 2008 - 12:35 ET by American TaxpayerAnother fine example of the profesionals at N.Y.T adjusting the news to fit thier political agenda. The science of global cooling due to solar cycles and backed up by ice core samples is there for all to see, the problem is science does not fit in with Al Gores agenda or the agenda of N.Y.T. Once again circulation is down because credibility is down, try reporting the news instead of making it. It is no surprise that N.Y.T is having a stock holder revolt, possibly actually doing your jobs instead of creating the news may help.
Southern Baptist Cop-outs
March 11, 2008 - 12:56 ET by gideonmjames1 Timothy 6:20-21
(20) O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and OPPOSITIONS OF SCIENCE FALSELY SO CALLED:
(21) Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
The Word of God warns about science falsely so called ... about science that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.
Psalms 47:9
The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: FOR THE SHIELDS OF THE EARTH BELONG UNTO GOD : He is greatly exalted.
The shields of the earth are the Lord's ... He is never going to allow global, or even continental, catastrophe to happen on earth.
God has already accounted and prepared for ANYTHING Man can do to the planet ... He has put 7 major jet streams over the earth that can rapidly dissipate into space anything Man could put into the atmosphere - from carbon dioxide to nuclear fallout ... He has put more than 5 trillion trees on earth that THRIVE on CO2 ... He created bacteria that can consume oil and clean up oil spills ... He has ten trillion angels that wait on His every command every second of the day ... He can alter the spin of earth's axis or expand earth's orbit if global warming really WAS a problem ... He has wrapped earth in a magnetic field that protects it from massive solar winds and asteroid impacts ... and He is OMNIPOTENT - i.e. HE takes care of the global environmental issues, not Man.
Global Warming Fearists
March 11, 2008 - 12:59 ET by gideonmjamesGenesis 8:22
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and COLD AND HEAT, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease [i.e."global" warming is NOT going to bring global catastrophe to the earth as Al Gore claims].
Temperature fluctuations are part of the natural cycles God built into the earth.
Ephesians 4:14
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
In 1974 Time Magazine ran an article warning of global COOLING. Mature Christians are not to allow themselves to be blown about by every wind of doctrine.
Thanks for the clarification Amy.
March 11, 2008 - 13:02 ET by tracheostomyBut this isn't a minority cell. This isn't an isolated incident either. Not by a longshot. As far as I'm concerned, there is a clear "purpose-driven" inspiration behind this group.
The SBC needs to return to its foundational roots, stop chasing fads, reject the gospel of "felt needs," and return to their first love.
Nothing else.

Baptists do not believe man is causing Global Warming
March 11, 2008 - 14:43 ET by PopularTechThe MSM likes to take out of context the position of just about everyone which is also the baptist position to protect the environment. This does not include believing man is causing global warming or that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is pollution. Yet this is how they attempt to manipulate the discussion.
Seminary student's climate change project is not SBC's (Baptist Press)
Baptists question human role in global warming (USA Today)
"CO2 for different people has different attractions. After all, what is it? - it’s not a pollutant, it’s a product of every living creature’s breathing, it’s the product of all plant respiration, it is essential for plant life and photosynthesis, it’s a product of all industrial burning, it’s a product of driving – I mean, if you ever wanted a leverage point to control everything from exhalation to driving, this would be a dream. So it has a kind of fundamental attractiveness to bureaucratic mentality."
- Richard S. Lindzen Ph.D. Professor of Meteorology MIT
The Kyoto Protocol is a treaty to regulate 'Greenhouse Gases' only:
- Carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Methane (CH4)
- Nitrous oxide (N2O) (Laughing Gas, Nitrous, NOS)
- Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
- Perfluorocarbons (PFCs)
- Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)
Car Exhaust consists of:
Harmless:
- Carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Nitrogen (N2)
- Water vapor (H2O)
Some Pollutants:
- Carbon monoxide (CO) *
- Hydrocarbons or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) *
- Nitric oxide (NO) *
- Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) *
- Particulate matter (PM-10) *
- Sulfur dioxide (SO2) *
* Your car's catalytic converter removes about 95% of these pollutants.
Smog consists of:
- Ozone (O3) * (formed from the photochemical reaction of Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) + Hydrocarbons)
- Particulate matter (PM-10) *
- Sulfur dioxide (SO2) *
* Air Pollution is already regulated in the: 1970 Clean Air Act (Amended: 1977, 1990)
- Water Pollution is already regulated in the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Amended: Clean Water Act of 1977, Water Quality Act of 1987)

Under the circumstances, I'll take the Baptists
March 11, 2008 - 22:47 ET by Agrarian-DecentralistMenefee asks, "400+ scientists or 44 Southern Baptists?" Then invites us to take our pick.
Gee, what a tough call, given that the list of 400+ scientists is just one more deceptive, puffed-up attempt by so-called "climate realists" (in this case Senator James Inhofe and his staffer Marc Morano) to suggest that there really is a robust debate on climate change when, in fact, there ain't. For an analysis of the Inhofe-Morano list, follow this link
http://www.thedailyg...
or settle for the summary below:
Inhofe's list includes 413 people.
84 have either taken money from, or are connected to, fossil fuel industries, or think tanks started by those industries.
49 are retired
44 are television weathermen
20 are economists
70 have no apparent expertise in climate science
Several supposed skeptics have publicly stated that they are
very concerned about global warming, and support efforts to address it.
One claims he was duped into signing the list and regrets it.

49 are retired? Did their brains leak out when they retired? How many of the Alarmists are retired?
44 are television weathermen. What is a Television weatherman? It is spelled M-E-T-E-O-R-O-L-O-G-I-S-T. Isn't that some sort of climate scientist? How many of those are Phd's? You don't have a clue. Just about 100% of the Accuweather service are Phd's. How many others?
20 are economists? Spare me! Out of the 2500 contributors to the IPCC 4AR, only about 600 are actual scientists. The rest are economists, politicians, public relations people, etc. Do we have a double standard here?
70 have no apparent expertise in climate science? You mean like Al Gore?
Your whole post is nothing but an ad hominem attack on these 400 Realists. Care to debate the science or are you either too ignorant or too chicken?
