It has been quite some time since I’ve done anything concerning Global Warming. While looking for books available for review, the title The Global-Warming Deception caught my eye. I neglected to notice the author’s name.
Grant Jeffery is a Dispensational author prone to write books about the coming global government and similar conspiracies. The premise of his book is that man-made global warming is a hoax perpetrated by “elites” of various kinds to open the way for a global government which will oppress people. He has two main elements to his proposition.
The first main element he addresses is his Dispensational pre-tribulational and premillenniel understanding of the end of the world. He asserts this in the first few chapters, and pretty much assumes his readers are on board with him. I’m not on board with him in this matter (I used to be). What few passages he uses to assert his position are largely taken out of context. Those passages deal with THE Roman Empire, not a Revived Roman Empire. On this point, he fails.
Jeffrey does a better job in arguing that man made global warming is based on bad science. It takes a few chapters to get to source materials, but he does. He points out alternative (better) theories for global warming, the flaws in the computer projects which cause the alarm, and documents the Climategate events in which data which did not fit the theory was suppressed. He also mentions how the hysteria is fundamentally opposed to the theory of evolution the alarmists hold to. Species come, and species go, but the world keeps on spinning.
Sadly, these two premises are intertwined in his argument. I can separate them and give him a fair hearing on the second while I disagree with him on the first. Just because someone is wrong about their eschatology doesn’t mean they are necessarily wrong about everything else. But it certainly raises the burden of proof.
If you are looking to just gain information about the problem with the “man-made global warming hysteria”, you can find that here. But you may not want to give this book to anyone unless they are on board with his eschatology. Otherwise they may just write him off.
As I was reading the book, I wondered why he was so concerned about this if he really thought this would “trigger” the return of Jesus for His people. While such a delusion is evil, and the oppression of people is as well, it would appear to be a necessary evil in his scheme of things. No global government, no rapture. So as a result, Jeffrey seems far more concern with maintaining the Western way of life and standard of living. He misses the point that the Bible does not mandate such governments and economies. God’s people have existed, and thrived spiritually, under a wide variety of governments and economies.
[I received a promotional copy of this book from the publisher for purposes of review.]
