 Interesting and informative, but could have been better. Feb 23, 2010
As a believer in Jesus Christ, I believe that part of our God-given "mandate" as human beings is to be good stewards of the earth and to care for God's creation. This is His world, and rather than exploiting and plundering His masterpiece, we should be enjoying, using, living in it in a responsible way that allows His creation to continue to sing forth His glory to those around us.
Because of that, I have been quite torn about the global warming debate. It is hard to get a straight, logical answer about this issue. Often one receives an overly emotional, not terribly scientific argument supporting the global warming hysteria, while arguments against global warming seem to be whispers amidst the clamor.
I really enjoyed reading Global Warming and the Creator's Plan by Jay A. Auxt and Dr. William M. Curtis III. This book is logical, Biblical, and very easy to read. They frankly discuss the fact that the data available simply does not allow us to accurately understand what is happening. Is global warming occurring? We don't know. They address the fact that the "Al Gore" type arguments for global warming break down very quickly from a scientific perspective, as well as addressing common misconceptions that global warming is causing increased hurricane activity, melting glaciers, etc. They also give clear comparisons between "alternative fuel" sources and explain why the energy debate is not as clear-cut as the media might lead us to believe.
One thing that I found very interesting was that they tie in a Biblical framework of the age of the earth and the 2nd law of thermodynamics, as well as pre-flood vs. post-flood differences. Having a Biblical framework for the purpose and age of the earth vastly changes this debate: if the earth is under the curse, forever altered by the flood, and was never intended to support life for "millions and millions" of years, one views the current "crisis" very differently. Auxt and Curtis lay a good case that man's activity on the earth has had minimal impact in any global warming that may or may not be occurring. What we are observing is the groaning of a creation deeply marred by sin and the curse.
In some ways, I felt that their arguments could have been fleshed out more. I vacillated between feeling like they weren't giving hard scientific evidence and feeling like they were giving too much math and science with too little "plain language" explanation. But then on the other hand, sometimes their arguments seemed like they could have been more thorough.
I think this book would be more impacting if I knew who Auxt and Curtis were. Only once (very briefly) was any reference made to their expertise in this subject. While I felt that the book's content was logical, understandable, and balanced, I looked in vain for an explanation of why these two men were the ones standing up against the global warming frenzy. I learned more about the authors from the 1 paragraph "about the author" note on Amazon.com than I did reading this entire book.
So all in all, it was good. I enjoyed it, found it interesting and informative... but I think it could have been better.

 Common Sense Jan 27, 2010
This is a short and very informational book. I would strongly encourage people to read it with an open mind. January 2010 is a time for a reality check.
Man made Global Warming is and always has been a complete farce brought to us by crackpot scientists, one world goverment creeps, marketing hacks and politicians. Leave it to the Created Sun of our Solar System to conveniently lessen its Sunspot activity in conjunction with the exposure of the East Anglia Climate Research Units wide corruption of data to expose the whole thing as a very expensive Joke on the American Tax Payer.
I strongy believe in lessening my "carbon footprint" to save resources including cash. And I exhale on my house plants because I know for a fact that they crave extra carbon dioxide.
If you see Al Gore please ask him to give back the Nobel Prize. As a matter of fact, have Obama and Carter fly back (air carpooling) to Copenhagen together and give them all back.

 Incredible is right Nov 11, 2009
The first review posted for this book was written by the co-author Jay Auxt himself. His headline was "Incredible!". That's exactly the word for this strange mixture of Biblical exegesis and political harangue.
To begin with, the authors (both professors of Bible science at small Biblical colleges and with masters-level degrees in engineering)are strict young-earth Creationists for whom the very idea of geological history that does not feature Noah's flood is unthinkable. This view is bolstered by actual data, "solid evidence" in the form of a table (p. 20) listing the birth dates of the Biblical patriarchs from Adam to Joseph so that "anyone can verify" that the Earth was created around 4000 B.C.
With that problem out of the way, the authors take on the science of physics. Once God has created space, mass, energy and time, He created (see Col. 1:16) such basic laws as E=mc^1 (p. 22) and a peculiar variation of the Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction formula. This brief genuflection toward physics leads to a discussion of how the "canopy of water" formed the original greenhouse for the Garden of Eden. This proves that water vapor, not carbon dioxide, is the vital greenhouse gas. Physics gets another outing in a surreal discussion of the concept of temperature. Auxt and Curtis seem to believe that temperature measurements were essentially undefined before the International Practical Temperature Scale was established in 1968 (and slightly revised in 1990). Any global warming temperature data is "baseless because no true data, for even as little as 100 years, exists" (p. 55).
Several chapters of standard denial boiler-plate follow, with the obligatory photo of Al Gore in bloated demon mode (p. 116). The argument takes a brief excursion to attack "evolution ideology" and explain the dangers of thinking of a sustainable environment (p. 133). None of this, the authors go on to explain, will matter in the least when Christ returns to establish His Millennial Age, a theocratic kingdom centered in Israel (Rev. 20:1-10). The book of Isiah also makes it clear that there will be "some reordering of the natural world (p. 145), but this is all an intrinsic part of the Creator's Plan. Rather than the nasty future that the climate-change leftists have been blathering about, it will be a time of "songs and everlasting joy upon [our] heads."

Eye Opening Jun 25, 2009
This was a very revealing book and it sure gave me something to think about. I realize the media has its own agenda, but this book helps us to remember that God has a plan and ultimately it is His plan that will prevail. The book was very well-researched and easy to read as well. I recommend it.

Incredible Mar 13, 2009
I have never been so shocked to discover how deceived I have been! You need to read this book to get a balance on the environment and solutions.
