I'm not big on vanities, but I thought this might be good for some discussion.

For reference, the "Declaration" in question is available here.

Good news, xjcsa. The 40 people who signed this statement speak for no one except for the 40 people who signed it. It has no bearing on Southern Baptists at large or any indivitual church. The major media amplified the statement and mistakenly portrayed it as representative of 16 million Southern Baptists.

Anyone who buys into global warming or climate change as they call it today is walking into a trap.

The soulution to the so called problem is to give up some of your freedom for "the greater good".

I suggest you read "1984" or "A Brave New World".

Get back to me when you have.

The Vatican is heading down that road too. Eco-socialism, social “justice”, and other concepts continue to creep into mainline Christian denominations, with less room left for scripture and the concept of individual salvation. Schisms have been wrought by far less.

The global warming the leaders of the SBC need to be saving people from:

Rev 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

Rev 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

“The global warming movement is, in blunt terms, an evil, anti-human cult. Its aims are to impoverish developed nations and keep poor nations from improving their condition. “

You are one person who thoroughly understands what Global Warming really is about.

The global warming movement is, in blunt terms, an evil, anti-human cult.

I agree with this guy. A lot of good people are being suckered by the lies and half truths about globalony warming. Fortunately more real scientists and climatologists are coming out now with the truth, but the MSM doesn't want us to hear them so they aren't being allowed on the Fox or CNN talking head shows or guesting on big time TV talk shows.

The head of NASA recently said that although the atmosphere is warming slightly it's not because of what man is doing to the atmosphere. He confirmed that the surface of the sun goes through periodic cycles of heating and cooling, and naturally those cycles affect Earth's atmosphere. Right now we are going through a relatively minor climate change, but the warming cycle may be reversed in a few years and a cooling cycle may begin. Within a few years the ecofreak alarmists who want us to go back to the stone age in order to stop global warming may be weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth about global cooling.

Water vapor makes up 97% of all greenhouse gasses in earth's atmosphere, and man made CO2 makes up less than 1/10 of 1% of the other 3%. That's an almost insignificant amount by comparison with the amount of naturally occurring CO2. According to some climatologists whose articles I have read, nothing humans could do short of simultaneously exploding hundreds of nuclear bombs would bring about a significant change in our atmosphere's temperature. And that change would be to a much colder climate, not global warming, because for many months or years the sun's energy would be partially blocked from reaching the earth's surface by dense clouds of dust and smoke.

I'm not a scientist and I don't play one on TV, but common sense tells me to be extremely skeptical of near-hysterical claims that the almost infinitesimally small percentage of atmospheric CO2 made by man is causing a major climate change on earth.

This declaration is totally congruent with Rev Wright’s declarations and both contribute to the destruction of Christianity and so are being vigorously reported by the MSM.

Baptists speak only for themselves. The convention as whole has not endorsed this. Even if it did, it would not bind any individual churches, the state conventions or any Baptist.

Baptists will split over the preacher’s wife’s hairdo, so if the convention ever passed such a resolution, it would be halved within two weeks. And there wouldn’t be any of the nonsense our Episcopalian brothers are going through about who gets the church property, either.
