This \u2018climate crisis\u2019 series was called \u2018The Earthshot Prize: Repairing our Planet\u2019. Dr Crockford discloses that a companion book to the film series was also released in the UK and Europe on 30th September 2021 and a week later in the US.

God is also against waste. Both the prophet in pronouncing judgment and our Lord telling a parable assume waste is a bad thing:<\/p>\n<p><b>Joel 1:10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b>Luke 15:13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>But there is a measure of vainglory in \u2018Protect and Restore Nature\u2019, \u2018Revive our Oceans\u2019, and \u2018Fix our Climate.\u2019 The Prince assumes all need doing and all are doable. Both assumptions can be challenged in all three areas.<\/p>\n<h2>Great Barrier Reef<\/h2>\n<p>For instance, there were scare programmes on TV about supposed irreversible damage to the Great Barrier Reef off Australia. But <a title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whoi.edu\/oceanus\/feature\/is-the-great-barrier-reef-making-a-comeback\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>the latest data shows<\/strong><\/a> the <a title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whoi.edu\/oceanus\/feature\/is-the-great-barrier-reef-making-a-comeback\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>coral on the reef is growing back fast<\/strong><\/a>. People like the new Prince of Wales and the new King ignore cyclical variations. We read:<\/p>\n<p><b>Gen 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The man was not to become obsessed with the garden or make a goddess out of it. Furthermore, the elite are so cocooned in their world and cushioned by the people they mix with that they have little idea that ordinary people need to earn a living and that a woodland might need to be cleared to grow crops, raise livestock, quarry minerals or build a factory.<\/p>\n<p>That is not to defend wholesale clearance of the Amazon for inefficient cattle ranching. But it is to say things might not be quite so black-and-white as they seem and there may be more resilience in nature than some notable princes believe.<\/p>\n<h2>NET ZERO \u2018ILLOGICAL\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>The push for Net Zero is also \u2018illogical\u2019 according to <a title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/dailysceptic.org\/2022\/12\/17\/why-the-net-zero-policy-is-illogical\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Nick MacLeod writing in Daily Sceptic in December 2022<\/strong><\/a>. Using basic mathematics, Dr MacLeod showed how a series of connected statements must all be correct for Net Zero policy to be valid:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Start from a small number of statements that make up the Net Zero commitment.<br \/>\n\u20181 The Earth must actually be warming.<br \/>\n\u20182 The warming must pose a genuine and serious threat to life on Earth.<br \/>\n\u20183 The warming must be man-made. Specifically, it must be caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere arising from human activity.<br \/>\n\u20184 The U.K.\u2019s Net Zero policy must bring about a meaningful global reduction of atmospheric carbon. That is, it must either make a significant reduction in its own right, or it must set an example that persuades other countries to reduce their own carbon emissions, to a degree sufficient to stop the warming.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018For UK Net Zero to be effective, statements 1-4 must all be correct. If any one of them is false, the policy will fail, either because it doesn\u2019t lead to sufficient carbon reduction, or because the policy wasn\u2019t necessary in the first place.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Even if they are all 75% true, the policy will only be 32% effective. If they are all 50\/50, that figure drops to 6% (\u00bd x \u00bd x \u00bd x \u00bd = 1\/16).<\/p>\n<h2>WISE STEWARDSHIP<\/h2>\n<p>The Christian concept of wise stewardship is built on the Gen 2:15 verse above and what the Lord God said earlier to Adam:<\/p>\n<p><b>Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We read this in conjunction with Psalm 24:<\/p>\n<p><b>Psa 24:1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD&#8217;S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Man is not to deify God&#8217;s creation, but to dress and keep\u00a0 it, to subdue it and have dominion over it.\u00a0 \u00a0That may be a hard act to get right, but with wisdom from on high, humility and understanding, it must be do-able.<\/p>\n<h2>CREATION GROANETH<\/h2>\n<p>Although the Almighty has said he will never again send a worldwide flood, the Apostle Peter gives a warning that much as men might want to protect the earth, it is not here for ever:<\/p>\n<p><b>2Pet 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Moreover, as a consequence of the fall, we cannot expect some halcyon state:<\/p>\n<p><b>Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>CLIMATE ANXIETY<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31580\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31580\" style=\"width: 420px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Prince-William-interviewed-by-the-BBCs-Adam-Fleming.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31580\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Prince-William-interviewed-by-the-BBCs-Adam-Fleming-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Prince William interviewed by the BBC's Adam Fleming\" width=\"420\" height=\"236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Prince-William-interviewed-by-the-BBCs-Adam-Fleming-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Prince-William-interviewed-by-the-BBCs-Adam-Fleming-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Prince-William-interviewed-by-the-BBCs-Adam-Fleming.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31580\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Prince William interviewed by the BBC&#8217;s Adam Fleming<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Recently, Prince William <a title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-58903078\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>told the BBC\u2019s Adam Fleming<\/strong><\/a> in an interview in October 2021 that there was \u2018a rise in climate anxiety\u2019 among young people whose \u2018futures are basically threatened the whole time\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It&#8217;s very unnerving and it&#8217;s very, you know, anxiety making,\u2019 he said.

Bear in mind also that CO2 is not a poison; it provides food for the plants upon which all life eventually depends:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Psalm 104:14\u00a0 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bear in mind also the deep misanthropy of figures like Sir David, the neo-fascist command and control agenda of the WEF with which all the major actors named above are involved and remember this promise of God:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We should always remember that the earth was created by God to be resilient.
