When did we get this kind of power?

This statement is posted on the homepage for Hopenhagen.org regarding the upcoming conference in Copenhagen to discuss "climate change" (formerly referred to as "global warming").


"On December 7, leaders from 192 countries will gather at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen to determine the fate of our planet."

This statement makes a couple of huge assumptions:

The first is that we (humans) are responsible for any change to the climate, or global warming if you're hung up on that. History, and science, has shown that the climate of Earth does change, without any influence from us, approximately every 500 years. Let's be honest, the technology that these folks are blaming the change on didn't even exist during the last cycle, yet change it did. And will continue to do so until this planet no longer exists; cooler, then warmer, every 500 years (or so).

The second assumption is the real doosie: that we have the power to determine the fate of our planet. First of all, we didn't create this planet; it was created for us. This planet will cease to exist exactly when The Creator decides it's time for it to end. Not before, and not after.

To assume that we can control the fate of something created by God, under the constant control of God, also assumes that we have the power of God.

That's an assumption I will never make, and anyone who does is treading very dangerous water.
