Global
warming is a terrifying possibility. The prospect of such a long
lasting climatic effect inflicted upon Earth by our ignorance is
horrifyingly terrible. To not feel the fears contained within this real
possibility is called "denial".
Denial
is one of three basic human defense mechanisms. When running or hiding
isn't an option, we
"stick our heads in the sand". The trouble with that is that we leave
our posteriors exposed and ourselves in a very vulnerable position.
With
the issue being one that requires group action in order to remedy the
result of actions made in error because of insufficient knowledge, to
not pursue a corrective course would be a sin -- the sin of omission.
And to consciously further misuse and abuse the world that God gave us
is a sin beyond redemption -- James 4:17.
