WHY I BELIEVE THE INSTITUTE FOR CREATION RESEARCH IS WRONG ON GLOBAL WARMING

The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) recently published an article on its website on evidence for global warming. In my mind, the stance the ICR takes is extremely disappointing, not least because it goes against the overwhelming majority of evidence of the world's best scientists. To be still questioning whether or not the globe is really warming, let alone question that it is happening as a result of human activity, shows that the ICR is out of touch with the majority views of the evangelical and scientific worlds, and the Bible.

      To state that "it will require a much longer period of record to be confident in any conclusions" is simply not true. The latest IPCC report, despite the ICR stating that it "reduced the alarmist rhetoric", actually states that the likelihood of global warming being caused by human activity is now 'very high', defined as a greater than 90 per cent likelihood, hence the greater urgency to take action now.
