Climate-change alarmist Bill Nye the “Science Guy” of TV fame recently produced a short video called “5 Things You Need to Know About Climate Change.” Bill Nye has been a very vocal supporter of the idea of drastic human-caused climate change and has even accused creationists of rejecting climate change—even though we don’t reject it. Climate change is real; climates do change. But we reject the claims of climate change alarmists because we start from a different foundation. Even on a live CNN television interview right after the debate between Bill Nye and me last year, I told him that I do not reject climate change.

Your Starting Point

Your starting point in interpreting life affects your whole worldview. For instance, using Bill Nye’s starting point that all life evolved by natural processes, and man is just an animal related to all life, then abortion is just killing another animal—marriage can be however you want to define it! Your starting point determines how you interpret climate change, too.

We don’t need to be concerned about drastic climate change. Our climate, and the checks and balances that keep it operating within safe parameters, were designed by an all-wise Creator. And when you start with a biblical view of Earth’s history, you reach an entirely different conclusion about the nature and cause of climate change.

Here are five things every Christian needs to know about climate change:

1.Our climate and atmosphere were designed by an all-wise Creator.

2.Climates do change. They’ve changed before and they’ll change again.

3.Your interpretation of this change depends on your starting point—man’s opinion or God’s Word.

4.God has promised that the seasons will continue (Genesis 8:22).

5.We can have confidence that humanity won’t be snuffed out by climate change. Instead, we know that God is in control of history and it will not end until Jesus Christ returns.
