10 Congressmen Head to the South Pole - God Smiles

Dr. Bill Smith, ARRA Editor: Arkansas 4th District Representative Mike Ross will join nine other members of Congress for a trip to the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica. The reason is to study "Global Warming."

According to the itinerary, the delegation leaves Andrews Air Force Base on Saturday. They will be briefed by representatives of the National Science Foundation at the Antarctic Center at Christchurch, New Zealand, before heading to McMurdo Station, Antarctica, on Wednesday where they will remain for three days meeting with scientists. They will visit Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station on Thursday. The congressional delegation will travel to Australia on Jan. 5, where the group will receive science briefings at the Great Barrier Reef and learn about climate change at the Kurunda Rainforest. The delegation returns to the United States on Jan. 8.

Ross is a member of the House Science and Technology Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Both committees will be addressing global warming legislation after Congress reconvenes Jan. 15.

Wonder who will be briefing the delegation -- Gore-ites or real scientists who know the truth? The question is not whether the earth may for extended periods warm or cool -- it does. The question for this trip is whether this Congressional delegation buys into the false belief that it is mankind and not the Sun, our changing orbit, geothermal activity, collisions from space, and other factors to numerous to list that affect these changes. Neither mankind nor "mother nature" controls the weather. God created us to discover and to reason. However, God must truly smile when mankind, like a small child, expresses that they can "control" the earth's climate.

The Bible has a lot to say about God and how He controls the weather.

(Psalms 78:26 NASB) He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens And by His power He directed the south wind.

(Psalms 107:25 NASB) For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind, Which lifted up the waves of the sea.

(Psalms 135:7 NASB) He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who makes lightnings for the rain, Who brings forth the wind from His treasuries.

(Psalms 148:8 NASB) Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

(Proverbs 30:4 NASB) Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son’s name? Surely you know!

(Mark 4:39 NASB) And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Hush, be still.” And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm.

God created the Heavens and the Earth and He controls the weather. You may ask, “Why would God allow 'Global Warming" or 'Global Cooling' and the resulting consequences?” The answer is that God is Sovereign. He can do whatever He wants. He is in control and nothing gets by Him.

I hope that all of our Global Warming delegation believes in God. Because when people in authority do not believe in God, they can believe anything - even junk science. Then they can proceed to tax, control, use and abuse people in an attempt to achieve their biased beliefs. Ecclesiastes 1:8 (NRSV) sums it up best: "What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun."
