Musings of a Recovering Lutheran: The cult of global warming 
I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, 

     Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? 

Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Isaiah 6:8 (KJV)

The cult of global warming

Dr. Ivar Giaever, a winner of the Nobel Prize for physics, has resigned from the American Physical Society because of its position on global warming. In particular, Dr. Giaever was upset by the APS's rigid stance and unwillingness to consider all evidence except that which supported its position.

Key quote:

"In the APS it is ok to discuss whether the mass of the proton changes over time and how a multi-universe behaves, but the evidence of global warming is incontrovertible? The claim (how can you measure the average temperature of the whole earth for a whole year?) is that the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8 degree Kelvin in about 150 years, which (if true) means to me is that the temperature has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this 'warming' period."

Ironically, Dr. Giaever supported Barack Obama in 2008. I doubt that will protect him from the attacks from global warming cultists that are certain to follow. Thou shalt not blaspheme "settled science"!

Is there a Lutheran way of looking at this matter that might allow us to contribute more than "attaboy" to the argument? Maybe something along the lines of Law and Gospel? Of course, we would probably have to hide behind some other words.

Maybe just pointing out: "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me - even if the god is named Gaia and has rock-star popularity among the chattering classes."
