"On which topic I'd appreciate a Christian perspective on climate change."

What about a biblical one? In which, a case it easily made for its impossibility... unless god has become forgetful.

After the first climate change - Noah's Flood - to quote God from Genesis 9:16, ""And the rainbow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.”

17 And God said unto Noah, “This is the token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon the earth.”"

However, by Revelation 16 God has forgotten to lock away His vials of wrath, "8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat," which certainly speaks of global warming and after the seventh angel "poured out his vial into the air" we are told "20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found." which gives us sea level rise.

So I am left (like God apparently) in two minds about the question. That's moral relativism for you...

Bazz, was in NZ over Xmas for a Maori gathering of the clan and a few "Unvailings" main reason we went. No grog allowed on the Marae so Boxing Day went to town, about 30 minutes away for a beer with a few, including the local Maori Minister I think he's Methodist. Good bloke, came out everyday to conduct "church" and the ceremonies. Had a good yarn to him at the pub, works long hours, covering a very large area, does heaps for the people, both spiritually and practically, you name it, Sunny does it. He deals with the sick, the criminal, the unemployed, the young, the poor, the dysfunctional, anyone who needs his help, and there is a great need, and he is totally non judgmental. I asked how he fits it all in, hasn't had a day off in 3 months, wife not happy, want's a little holiday to see her people down south. My partner gave a koha (gift, petrol money, @ $2.20 lt its very high, seems God may provide but he doesn't fill the tank for big fella in little car) to help with his work. My partner said Sunny's always available for people, no matter what, my kind of religion.

'"On which topic I'd appreciate a Christian perspective on climate change '

WmTrevor

for a start many of the fraudsters who profit from this belief speak of climate that took place millions of years ago. Complete fantasy. They then want to be taken seriously with their models based on their 'fallacy'.

A Chrisitan perspective is also to use your brains that were given to you. IN the 1970's an ice age was promised by the climate change believers (seems like they were closer than current crop). False predictions are easily seen from the likes of Flannery and Gore who have both profited by the gw religion. many scientist have been silenced from speaking truth because funding depends on defending the faith. All thinking people whether believers or not can see this clearly.

you misrepresent God's covenant by not including Gen 9:15 where it is clearly stated that He would not wipe the planet with a flood (no mention of other means) again. The apostle Peter made it clear it would be with fire (probably nuclear).

WM Trevor runner took up the task of answering your question.
What ever runner is he is not representative of Christianity.
So his answer is invalid.
However within ten years no more such as runner will be try ing to hide the fact they ever claimed Global warming is as Abbott described, it all crap.

Now you are trying to be a prophet Belly. Give us a break. At one stage I am sure you predicted Abbott unelectable and Turnbull would lead to election. Your track record is poor when it comes to predictions.

Surely the Northern Hemisphere would have to agree the planet at the moment is heating up.
