Question

If God unleashed a flood of biblical proportions, how would that affect the global climate change movement?

Answer 1

Firstly they would say I/we told you so.

Secondly they would assert that it was caused by nature not god being angry w. Man for polluting the Earth.  Half would say it was due to natural cause and effect, the other half would attribute it to something akin to Gaia's revenge.

Governments all over/under would find ways to apportion 'water credits' to themselves and all the rich and famous so that they could carry on exactly as before but claim to be doing 'something' constructive.  Fortunes would be made by rock stars flying around and around the ocean doing gigs for the chronically wet/drowning while demanding money for climate change.  Not wasting water would become a crime for anyone on less than say £30,000 a year, and barbecues for peace would become the preserve of Middle Eastern on shore oil rig drilling platforms..

Answer 2

From my experience, God is non-interventionist.

Physical laws explain our material reality and are not disrupted.

Never did I see an apple jump on its own in the sky and contradict the theory of gravity.

On a scientific point of view, God can be the ultimate cause but does not distort the events by direct interventions.

Answer 3

There would be not global climate to  to worry about. That is there would be no one here to worry about the climate.

Answer 4

God promised to never flood the earth again. The rainbow is God's promise. Read the Bible.

Answer 5

Where would he find all the water?

Answer 6

Well, let's see:

- All the human sources of greenhouse gases would be rusting underwater.

- On the other hand, the masses of rotting forests under the water would release enormous amounts of methane.

- Somewhat offsetting this, the additional water would add large amounts of thermal mass and slow down temperature change in any direction.

- The remaining people on ships would have other things to worry about.

I think the IPDCC (Intership Panel on Divine Climate Change) would be sending up their complaints regularly, though.

Answer 7

I'm sure that when God DID "unleash a flood of biblical proportions" that it changed the minds of a lot of people...  

No doubt many changed their minds about the weather and about God.
