The recent destruction of the Georgia Guidestones made headlines across America. Some cheered while others expressed a desire to rebuild them. A mysterious New World Order group built them in 1980 in Elbert County, Georgia.
One of the ten inscriptions on this granite monument set the sustainable level of the human population at five hundred million. That’s a small fraction of the earth’s current population of 7.8 billion.
Despite the demise of the Georgia Guidestones, the population-reduction goal of the globalists remains cemented in their plans for the future of the earth. Yuval Noah Harari, who has the ear of Klaus Schwab as well as many of the most powerful people in the world, often speaks of technology replacing the need for most people.
The promotion of draconian measures to reduce our dependency on fuel and natural gas is just one way that the globalists hope to achieve the power they crave. In the end, it furthers their agenda of gaining control over a reduced population of the world.
Below, I list three popular climate myths that the globalists use to further their deadly agenda. These myths lie behind the green measures in the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
(Note: I have taken some of the material below from the chapter that I wrote for the book, Lawless — The End-Times War Against the Spirit of the Antichrist.)
MYTH 1: RISING CO2 LEVELS WILL LEAD TO ENVIRONMENTAL CATASTROPHE
The climate alarmists claim that rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere will lead to environmental catastrophe in the near future.
Is this assertion true? No, no it’s not.
In late September of 2019, more than five hundred scientists and professionals in climatology and related fields signed a letter to the United Nations, saying, “There is no climate emergency.” Here is an excerpt from their letter:
There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent. However, CO2-mitigation measures are as damaging as they are costly. For instance, wind turbines kill birds and bats, and palm-oil plantations destroy the biodiversity of the rainforests.
These five hundred scientists further stated that since the “climate models on which virtually all the apocalyptic predictions are based are utterly flawed…. It is cruel as well as imprudent to advocate the squandering of trillions on the basis of results from such immature models. Current climate policies pointlessly, grievously undermine the economic system, putting lives at risk in countries denied access to affordable, continuous electrical power.”
Climatologist and late research professor of environmental sciences at the University of Virginia, Dr. Pat Michaels, agrees with those of us who deny that global warming will lead to disastrous consequences:
It’s warmed up around 1 degree Celsius since 1900, and life expectancy doubled in the industrialized democracies! Yet that temperature ticks up another half a degree and the entire system crashes? That’s the most absurd belief!
In response to the signing of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act that recently passed in the U.S., a group of over 1,100 scientists and scholars “signed a document declaring climate science is based more on personal beliefs and political agendas than sound, rigorous science.” They call their paper the World Climate Declaration (WCD).
The World Climate Declaration points out that since emerging from the Little Ice Age in the mid-19th century, the world has warmed significantly less than predicted by the U.N.’s International Panel on Climate Change Nonsense’s models
“The gap between the real world and the modeled world tells us that we are far from understanding climate change,” the WCD states.
The declaration argues Earth’s climate has varied, with cold and warm periods, for as long as the planet has existed, and it is “no surprise that we are experiencing a period of warming.”
The climate models “are not remotely plausible as global policy tools,” ignoring, for one, the benefits of carbon dioxide, which is “not a pollutant.”
“It is essential to all life on Earth,” the declaration says. “Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth; additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yield of crops worldwide.”
MYTH 2: RISING CO2 LEVELS WILL CAUSE OCEAN LEVELS TO RISE
For a long time, climate alarmists have made startling predictions that in the end have proven entirely wrong. Consider this quote from an Associated Press report published in the Washington Post:
The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer, and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters, and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.
Although this sounds very much like it could have been a story written in 2022, the above quote appeared in the Washington Post on November 2, 1922! These warnings are one hundred years old, and they sound exactly the same as what we hear today.
Predictions of disaster because of climate change continue unabated. The Earth Day predictions of 1970 included the end of human civilization in thirty years with deaths due to starvation to reach one hundred million–two hundred million per year by 1980. This didn’t happen.
Al Gore received a Nobel Prize in 2007 for his prognostications of doom due to global warming. He told us that, by 2014, the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets would completely vanish, which would cause sea levels to rise twenty feet. He also predicted the total extinction of polar bears due to the disappearance of the Arctic ice cap.
Gore became quite wealthy as a result of his activism, but what about his forecasts that catapulted him to fame and fortune?
The South Pole still exists with the sea ice around Antarctica at record levels, as recorded at the beginning of 2020. According to those who monitor temperatures for Antarctica, it rarely gets above 0 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer months. The Weather Channel forecast highs for March 10 to 14, 2020, ranged from -45 to -54 degrees Fahrenheit, and it was still summer in Antarctica at the time! How can this polar cap disappear with such frigid temperatures at the end of its warmest season? It’s not possible!
Does some melting occur in the Antarctica sea region? Yes, but global warming is not the culprit. The thawing happens in areas near where thousands of underwater volcanoes/hydrothermal vents exist.
As for the demise of the Arctic Circle by 2014, Gore could not have been more wrong. In 2015, the Arctic Circle saw it largest refreezing in over a decade. Official data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reveals that Arctic Sea ice is once again expanding, with current 2020 levels exceeding those in eight out of the previous ten years.
We constantly see fluctuations in the coverage of the Artic Sea ice, but it will not disappear as Gore claimed it would.
By the way, not long after making his prediction that sea levels would rise twenty feet, Gore purchased a multimillion-dollar mansion in Malibu, California, that rests near the ocean a little bit above sea level. Hmmm.
MYTH 3: 97% OF SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THAT A CLIMATE EMERGENCY EXISTS
One statistic we constantly hear is that 97 percent of scientists believe that man-made global warming will lead to catastrophic results. Is this accurate? No, it’s not.
Mike Hulme, PhD, professor of Climate Change at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in England, said this about it:
The ‘97% consensus’ article is poorly conceived, poorly designed and poorly executed. It obscures the complexities of the climate issue and it is a sign of the desperately poor level of public and policy debate in this country [UK] that the energy minister should cite it.
Highly acclaimed Israeli astrophysicist and chairman of Jerusalem’s Hebrew University’s physics department, Dr. Nir Shaviv said this about the matter:
Only people who don’t understand science take the 97% statistic seriously. Survey results depend on who you ask, who answers and how the questions are worded. In any case, science is not a democracy. Even if 100% of scientists believe something, one person with good evidence can still be right.
Scientists do not agree that global warming will lead to disastrous consequences. Those who warn us do NOT have “settled science” on their side. Many scientists believe the cosmic rays from the sun cause the fluctuations in global temperatures and provide solid evidence to back up their claim.
As noted earlier, the group of 1,100 scientists and scholars led by Nobel Laureate Professor Ivar Giaever of Norway, recently issued their World Climate Declaration (WCD). The size of this group alone disputes the claim that almost all scientists view global warming as an emergency demanding urgent action. The signees to the WCD consist of prominent scientists and scholars from forty different countries all over the world.
Here is more verbiage from the WCD:
Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as global policy tools. They blow up the effect of greenhouse gases such as CO2. In addition, they ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial.
CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.

Climatologist Dr. Judith Curry emphasized these three points in her testimony before Congress. She said much uncertainty exists as to . . .
- Whether or not the warming has resulted from human causes or natural factors such as the sun and volcanoes.
- How much earth will warm in this century.
- Whether or not the warming will have a harmful impact on the earth.
There’s no agreement in the science community on these matters; there is no climate emergency.
OUR REASON FOR HOPE
However, what’s more important is what Scripture tells us about creation and the future of this world. Our reason for hope rests in Jesus’ appearing to take us home.
The climate emergency is just one of many deceptions that the globalists are using to gain more control in this world. Even though we do not like it, the Bible tells us that in the last days just such a world order would come into existence with the antichrist at the helm.
As we look at the hype, it’s important to remember three things:
- The Lord is sovereign over His creation; He hold things together. Those holding the signs that say “Save the Planet” are powerless to interfere with His plans for the earth.
- The judgments recorded in Revelation 6-18 will devastate the environment. I believe this could very well be God’s way of letting the radicals of our day know that their worship of nature is in vain.
- During the Millennium, the Lord will restore nature to its original pristine condition. In the eternal state, we will have forever to enjoy a glorious recreated new earth.
Regardless of the uproar from our many enemies, we rest secure in our blessed hope of Jesus’ imminent return to take us to the place that He’s preparing for us.
