Just as shamans used to prance around to induce rain, so the modern equivalent – Anglican Bishops – are fasting to induce cooling. Even granting the truth of anthropogenic global warming, since China’s production of one new coal-fired power plant per week is unlikely to be slowed by a few fasting bishops – many of whom are secret admirers of the socialist paradise – I am confident that the new shamans will be as effective as their progenitors.
From here:
The Bishop of Salisbury is praying and fasting today, and on the first day of every month, for a meaningful and fair agreement at next year’s UN climate talks.
[….]
“Christians in this country have been encouraged to join in by Operation Noah. At this time next year, negotiators from around the world will gather for another round of UN climate talks in Paris, at which it is vital to make progress. That’s why I’m asking people to join in praying and fasting about climate change.”
too bad that they were not as concerned for the soul of mankind than for dear mother earth
Noah? Nature? Paris!
Two by two?
+ Genesis 6 + Matthew 24:37-42
If we are in fact looking at a period of significant global cooling which a number of scientist considering more and more likely, we will soon value the bishops’ hot air, if not their ideas.
Most amusing!
Operation Noah. Didn’t you all know? Noah was really the first environmentalist. God did not send the flood to cleanse the earth of our sin. He sent it to renew the environment.
