First let me make it very clear before I begin this post - I respect and love God's creation, but I do NOT worship it. I believe we need to be good stewards of the resources that God has given us; however, I believe many go overboard and get way too carried away. I am especially disturbed when the current enviromental fad issue of global warming starts becoming a concentration for churches. The  "great commision" that the Lord gave us as Christians is to go out and lead souls to salvation in Him, NOT to save the earth.  God has the daily functions of this earth well in hand and doesn't need our help.

I have serious doubts there is really such a thing as "global warming". I feel it is much more  likely just a natural weather cycle.  Now, many reading this are saying, oh yeah, she is a nut.... but would it surprise you to know there are scientists and weathermen who agree? In fact the founder of the weather channel seems to believe global warming is a fraud from this article - Global Warming (click to read). 

I encourage you to use wisdom when taking on causes. Take care of your corner of the earth, but do so with discretion, and not to a level of obessesion. Keep the earth clean so we can all enjoy it, but don't devote hours worrying and fretting over nonsense. That time is better devoted to the Lord and His service.

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

The Gospel - 1 Corinthians 15:1  Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Note in these verses - world is the people NOT the earth. - John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
