If not, why not? The world’s eco-anxiety over “climate change” has turned into a totally irrational eco-panic.
Entire government agencies are being weaponized to eliminate farming and transportation. Because “climate change.” And if anyone contradicts the climate change religion, he is ridiculed, demonized, silenced and then canceled.
The following news is not new. It has been known since 2016. Summarizes Matt Ridley, “Green vegetation is changing faster than global average temperatures.” And the change is upward, not the other way around. The world is much greener.
The evidence comes from the growth rate of plants and from satellite data: a 14% increase in green vegetation over 30 years, thanks to...guess what? An increase of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
Lead author on the study, Zaichun Zhu of Beijing University, says this is equivalent to adding a new continent of green vegetation twice the size of the mainland United States.
It is past time to turn off the eco-panic. Desertification of our planet has now largely reversed. This is because plants lose less water in the process of absorbing carbon dioxide if the concentration of carbon dioxide is higher.
This “global greening” has affected all ecosystems for the better — from arctic tundra to coral reefs to plankton to tropical rain forests and, of course, farms. It is our fear-gripped, self-righteous politicians who are harming our planet and designing for us a bleak future on a barren landscape.

Even Marine Le Pen’s recent statements track this line: personal Islamic practice is compatible with the Republic; replacing French law with Sharia is not. French Muslims who are simply citizens practicing their "religious faith" “have no reason to worry” about a Le Pen election victory.
But can one be a practicing Muslim without demanding and practicing Sharia?
Eph 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Eph 3:21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Serious numbers of migrants arrived in Massachusetts from 1630 - 1640. Roughly 21,000. By 1700 they had become 91,000. Their immediate priorities: having families, building farms, forming towns, and building institutions Old England never developed on local levels. But the new Americans didn’t just reproduce the country they left. They built institutions England didn’t yet have.
Year 1 — a seagoing vessel launched at Medford, 4 July 1631. The shipwrights had been sent out in 1629, ahead of the fleet.
Year 4 — representative government. Elected deputies sitting in the General Court.
Year 6 — Harvard. £400 voted for “a schoale or colledge.”
Year 8 — a printing press, the only one in British North America. Glover died on the voyage out; his widow Elizabeth moved the operation to Cambridge and got it running.
Year 10 — the Bay Psalm Book, the first book printed in America.
Year 11 — the Body of Liberties, read aloud at every General Court.
Year 12 — the 1642 law: every ...
