I ran across this little tidbit from Time Magazine:

"As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age."

Between the global warming and the global cooling we will come out just right!

Just more evidence that we don't know as much as we think we do... LOL

Amen- the more you know the more you know you don't know!

Isn't this just another temptation like the first in the garden of Eden.
To take a bite from the fruit that causes us to imagine the "possibilities" instead of walking side by side with God.
Eating from the tree of knowledge makes us feel like we know something when really we know less

Don't know that I would say that. The knowledge we are empowered with not only saves lives, it also allows us to have perhaps the best translations of the original books than at any other time in history.

God does everything in order- He gives us order
1Th 5:23 :
Spirit
Soul
Body
The spirit communes with God's Spirit- this is were He speaks to us, leads us, guides us, fills us , etc- the human soul ( mind, intellect and emotion)is a wonderful thing and God gives it to us for a reason- it is a marvelous thing when used in submission to the spirit God imparts creativity, wisdom and knowledge for He is the Father of all such things- to be a person who lives with the soul or body in control is to be a person who falls short of any real understanding- knowledge without Christ is knowledge without wisdom- that is folly- but under His guidance there is truly no limit to what we can accomplish!

Violet,
I do not know if you have paid any attention to the articles about the "Gulf Stream"
For a long time the scientists thought that the warm water carried north - north-east from Florida just spread out around the Artic Ocean north of Britain and Norway.
Now they are calling it a "conveyor belt" ably illustrated in the recent BBC documentary - I love those graphics.
It apparently sinks down to the bottom of the sea around about Iceland and then travels south again along the sea bed to the Florida area. Where, of course it heats up again and, surprisingly, heads north - east again.
Research has shown that it has stopped several times in the past few million years and they are afraid too much fresh water from the melting glaciers and ice up north will interrupt it.
Apparently the stoppage can take as little as a week.
I live on the same latitude as Churchill on the Hudson Bay and yet experience a moderately pleasant climate - actually, too cold, to wet, too windy for my likeing - the plain of Buchan.
It would mean we probably head from a winter into a more severe winter.
1812 was known as the year with no summer No wonder poor Napoleon had a hard time trying to defeat the Russians. Never mind about getting back home again.
In fact when the doctor was leaving the house after visiting my wife he said "Whenever will summer come."
I replied, "It may be another 1812."
"The year without a summer." he replied instantly - it is strange that you always like people who think like yourself.
THEY must be brainy?
This year we are having at 57 degrees north four seasons in one day. Earlier in the year the trees were so distraught that leaves were turning brown and falling at the same time as new buds were appearing.
Th "Mayflower" came into bloom at the same time as "Snow in summer." when they should have flowered two or three months apart.
If nature is all mixed up what hope is there for us.
God bless all

Change is natural- nature is always in a state of flux- I was reading an article by a scientist that says we are beggining to expierience a shift in the magnetic poles- he claims that this is a process that happens periodically and changes all the weather patterns but who knows- interesting theory though.
