Tlast week, panic gripped Britain. An unknown yellow orb appeared in the sky. The government swung into action. Signs on the freeway warned people to stay home. London’s main train stations closed. The mayor told his citizens that they should not be out enjoying themselves or barbecuing. The offices told their staff not to enter. Some schools even closed.
Yes, a sunny day may seem like a rare occurrence here in the UK. But I’ve never seen such a terrified response to the heat. The Met Office warned that people could not be trusted to make good decisions about the heat because “none of their life experience has told them what to expect”, before sternly banning the nation from having fun in the sun . News channels broadcast live images of the sun, as if it were some kind of disaster zone.
Britain set a new record: 102 degrees Fahrenheit. But we’ve had days almost as hot many summers before. And it’s certainly no hotter than vacationers are used to living abroad.
The US administration is trying to stir the nation into a similar feeling, albeit with less success. There, the administration is laying the groundwork for Joe Biden to declare a “climate emergency.” The National Emergencies Act allows the president to act without congressional approval in certain circumstances. It makes sense in the event of an earthquake, less so for a theory that humanity is gradually altering the Earth’s climate.
When Donald Trump invoked the act to try to resolve the crisis on the US southern border, the New York Times reported: “Declaring a national emergency could give Trump authoritarian powers.” Interestingly, this time they don’t seem as worried.
The Senate has rejected President Biden’s climate change agenda, but he wants to push it anyway. Meanwhile, here in the UK, the media and government are scaring the populace. Why the dramatic push towards the climate change agenda?
Some have noted the similarity in the UK with the lockdown. Something out of the ordinary is coming, and suddenly we demand a tough response from the government to save us. I think there is some truth to that. Unfortunately, as a society we have a horribly biased relationship with risk; none should be allowed, no matter what the consequences. the spectator wrote that during the heat wave, “[w]We’re not quite at the stage where the police were issuing on-the-spot fines to anyone more than 5 miles from their home, but it may just be a matter of time.” If the Met Office warns we don’t have the ability to make our own decisions about what we do when it’s hot, then weather locks would be the next logical step.
Also, just like with covid-19, dissent from the established view was not to be tolerated. In 1976, Britain had a heat wave that lasted much longer than last week’s. For 15 days in a row, it reached over 90 degrees Fahrenheit somewhere in the UK. It also came at the end of a long dry spell. But to point out that we’ve had hot summers before is verboten. I googled “uk heatwave 1976”. Here are some of the top results Google gave me:
“UK’s heat wave is nothing like the summer of 1976. We’ve never seen anything like it” —Times “Yes, Britain had a heat wave in 1976. No, it was nothing like the crisis we we find now” —Guardian “Ros Atkins in… Why is this heat wave not like 1976?bbc
It’s as if they all have the same grade, because they do. This note is a collaboration between Sky News and the Behavioral Insights team (aka ‘the Nudge Unit’ which was set up and works closely with the UK Government). Titled “The Power of Television: Encouraging Viewers to Decarbonize Their Lifestyles,” the 1991 report said:
Mass media, such as television, can play a critical role in encouraging consumers to decarbonize. The majority of future emissions reductions—63 percent—will need to come from changes in the way we travel, how we power and heat our homes, what we eat and what we buy. It seems logical for broadcasters to use their unique platform to improve viewers’ knowledge, challenge their attitudes and inspire them to take action against climate change.
The mass panic over the heat was partly because the media was following that note. A cold day, we are told every winter, does not disprove the idea of man-made climate change. But two hot days in the summer are supposed to put it beyond all possible doubt.
This approach drives their selective reporting. We were warned, frequently, about how “lethal” the heat wave would be. But no one mentions the estimated 10,000 excess deaths in the UK due to the cold in winter. They tell us about the need to reduce carbon emissions. But few will talk about the way Britain has already dramatically reduced these emissions. To find a year when the nation emitted the least, you have to go all the way back to 1888.
Why the push, of so many, to promote this ideology?
In 2017, Trumpet editor-in-chief Gerald Flurry wrote a landmark article titled “What the Paris Climate Agreement Was Really About.” In it he warned: “Everyone should want a clean environment and everything working properly. We should be good stewards of this beautiful planet. But the Paris Agreement was not about that. … What is happening here is not for the environment. It’s about destroying America.”
Five years later, it’s amazing how clear this agenda is. America is using environmental rules to shut down its own fuel production at a time when gas prices are soaring; meanwhile, Mr. Biden is traveling the world trying to convince dictators to pump more oil. Farmers in the Netherlands are at the forefront of a global crackdown on environmental rules that shut down farming to reduce nitrogen emissions. Here in the UK, government plans to reduce carbon emissions to zero are causing record energy costs and are set to wreak havoc on the rental, housing and transport markets very soon. From an environmental perspective, none of this makes sense. Why close the fuel and deposit it from another place? Why close the farms? People still have to eat.
The truth is that this movement is part of the effort described in the new book by Mr. Flurry, America Under Attack.
The Bible is a book primarily about Israel. Ancient Israel began with God’s relationship with Abraham. God taught and worked with the nation. He blessed the Israelites. He planned to help the whole world through them. Even though they rebelled, He was still able to accomplish His purpose.
The same is still valid today. The Bible lists many promises that were made to Israel, but never fulfilled in ancient times. If we believe that the Bible is the Word of God, we must believe that these promises have been fulfilled in modern times. These promises revolve around nations, plural. They cannot be fulfilled only in the nation of Israel in the Middle East. This is just one tribe of Israel.
But the Bible also prophesies an effort to blot out the name of Israel. These nations, and their blessings, would be attacked because they serve to point the whole world to God.
Many members of the climate change movement may be motivated by a desire to do good, but the movement itself is part of this effort to erase Israel’s name.
“Efforts to reverse climate change may appear to come from good intentions, but behind it lies an evil spirit,” writes Mr. Flurry. “Everything is tainted by deception, intimidation, bullying and autocratic tendencies.”
The climate change movement is doubly deadly. It is not only used to attack Israel. God is trying to get Israel’s attention through weather curses. The Bible lists clear and specific weather curses – they are not vague like “climate change”, where any hot or cold day can be used as evidence. God warns of the increase of genuine disasters if we do not wake up. But the climate change movement keeps people from looking to God and instead makes them look to “Mother Nature.”
Britain, America and many other nations will experience real climate disasters as God works with our nations. The spirit of erasing Israel works to prevent these nations from heeding this correction.
The book of Mr. Flurry America Under Attack exposes the effort to erase modern Israel. This includes America, but this reality is driving news events around the world. This book is being printed right now. You can pre-order a copy or read it online today.
