Would God allow global warming? GODS PROVIDENCE implies that He has His hand in all our affairs. Creation under the providence of God is not subject to global warming, either as a relatively sudden phenomenon or as the result of climatic cycles. It is securely maintained by spiritual laws whose harmonious operation is not subject to change or disruption. Theologian Wayne Grudem: It does not seem likely to me that God would set up the world to work in such a way that human beings would eventually destroy the earth by doing such ordinary and morally good and necessary things as breathing, building a fire to cook or keep warm, burning fuel to travel, or using energy for a refrigerator to preserve food. On December 2, 2009, the Cornwall Alliance issued a statement called An Evangelical Declaration on Global Warming, in which they declare: We believe Earth and its ecosystems – created by God’s intelligent design and infinite power and sustained by His faithful providence – are robust, resilient, self-regulating, and self-correcting, admirably suited for human flourishing, and displaying His glory. Earth’s climate system is no exception. Recent global warming is one of many natural cycles of warming and cooling in geologic history. Along with the Evangelical Declaration, Cornwall Alliance issued A Renewed Call to Truth, Prudence, and Protection of the Poor. The executive summary of their document states: The world is in the grip of an idea: that burning fossil fuels to provide affordable, abundant energy is causing global warming that will be so dangerous that we must stop it by reducing our use of fossil fuels, no matter the cost. Is that idea true? We believe not. We believe that idea – well call it global warming alarmism – fails the tests of theology, science, and economics.
