In my opinion, Climate Change is a tool with many intended purposes. Here are a few I can think of:
1) A reason to fund a global government, with industrial countries paying the most tax.
I believe we are seeing every judgment in Revelation has a deception forming in advance to explain it.
You have the antibiotic super bug to explain future plagues.

"4) A reason to enrich the ruling class."
You'd be seeing trillions fed into reversing the effects if there was profit in it for the wealthy American royalty you all bow to.
It's one of my worries for the future in fact. Finally it gets so bad, becomes so apparent we need to commit much to reversing atmospheric conditions we finally super fund it and feed the worlds remaining wealth right into the Koch Empire.
And you brainwashed fuckers would be fine with that cause " What's good fer busness is good fer 'Merica!, dey'll do the raight thang!"
5) Global warming is actually happening and is caused by human emissions.
6) Global warming is bad because climate change causes mass-extinctions and mass-extinctions eventually hit the top of the food chain. Since humans are the top of the food chain...?

The thing that I find fascinating is how well the oil barons are running the show. Every energy revolution makes huge fortunes and the oil barons stand to make the biggest profit because they already have the infrastructure to deliver new energy sources. The Kochs, BP, Exxon Mobile, and other energy providers are investing hugely in alternative energy research.
1) Industrial countries already pay the most tax. You get more tax revenue from industry than from agriculture.
So, if the rapture has been going since the 1940s, how does that reflect what's written in Revelation?
1). The United Nations is hilariously inept at everything it does. Not a surprise, really, considering that there is far too much ideological diversity amongst the nations for them to be united any time soon.
Antibiotic resistant superbugs were predicted by scientists, not the Bible.
An increase in earthquakes in the areas effected by fracking was predicted by scientists, not the Bible.
Nobody aside from fringe kooks believes there are aliens visiting earth.
So putting heavier taxes on corporations and limiting their productive capacity will somehow magically make them richer ? You wanna walk us through that one?
And what the hell is an antibiotic super bug? The successor to penicillin?
But the energy industry is the only one with a direct financial stake in the matter, and the only ones financing the handful of climate-change deniers. If you want to know who's telling the truth, as the lawyers say, "cui bono" ("who benefits").
The ruling class tend to be the people that earn money from fossil fuels and other natural resources, aka the very people that deny man caused climate change.
Also while these people want it to seem like it's the government that pushes climate change in reality it's out government that pushes against it.
@Alencon :
Well, at least he seems to accdet that Climate Change is in fact happening. That's a start.
Not really, he claimed that climate change is a tool, insinuating that it was made up by the powers that be for special purposes.
Except proponents of climate change are not suggesting that the world will end, akin to the rapture, but humanity and several other species are at risk of extinction. There's a big difference there.
"You have fracking to explain earth quakes increasing."
Not mining? Mining has caused far more earthquakes than fracking, especially in the UK where abandoned coal mines and the reactivation of faults pose a moderate risk in Yorkshire, Lancashire, Staffordshire the north-east, and anywhere else which has a mining history.
Fracking can't be used to explain earthquakes along plate margins with high magnitudes. The vast majority of earthquakes linked to fracking are barely able to be felt, and the exceptional circumstances where it can be (e.g. Blackpool) are accounted for by the academics, and even then the probability of them posing a significant risk to life and infrastructure is small. Earthquakes and fracking pose no more risk than earthquakes caused by mining, yet the complaints over the latter have been minimal in comparison, but this is such when people pay attention to drivel like Gasland and the Frack Off blog.
"UFO's to explain rapture."
Alien abductions are as implausible as your rapture madness; no rational minded person is using this.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
