Climate Catastrophe: Fact or Fiction?  – 气候灾难：事实还是虚构？

Climate change is an issue that is hotly debated. And it’s important. Many young people suffer ‘climate anxiety’, believing that the future is dire. If the climate is headed for a catastrophic situation, we need a response to combat it.
Canberra Declaration does not have an official position on climate change. We encourage Christians to respond to this issue, as in all areas of their lives, in worship of God and love of their neighbour.
To help you do that, the Daily Declaration Christian News site has recently published two articles side by side.

气候变化是一个备受争议的问题。这很重要。许多年轻人患有“气候焦虑”，认为未来是可怕的。如果气候正走向灾难性局面，我们需要采取应对措施来应对。 堪培拉宣言没有关于气候变化的官方立场。我们鼓励基督徒在生活的各个方面回应这个问题，以敬拜上帝和爱邻舍的方式。 为了帮助您做到这一点，《每日宣言》基督教新闻网站最近并排发表了两篇文章。

Against a Climate CatastropheIn one article titled “Ten Reasons to Question Climate Alarmism“, authors Kurt Mahlburg and Warwick Marsh present the case that there is no climate emergency. Watch as Warwick gives ten reasons to question climate alarmism below.In their article, Kurt and Warwick tackle the idea, promoted by many such as U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, that “The world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change.”

应对气候灾难 在一篇题为“质疑气候危言耸听的十个理由”的文章中，作者库尔特·马尔堡和沃里克·马什提出了不存在气候紧急情况的情况。下面请看沃里克给出了质疑气候危言耸听的十个理由。在他们的文章中，库尔特和沃里克讨论了美国国会女议员亚历山大·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯等许多人所提倡的观点，即“如果我们不这样做，世界将在 12 年后终结”解决气候变化问题。

They cite the many failed predictions about a climate apocalypse as one reason to doubt the latest claims that our planet will shortly cross the point of no return into a bleak future.
The article also questions the idea that there is a consensus around the issue of climate change. As one example, the Global Warming Petition Project has been signed by over 31,000 American scientists — including 9,000 with PhDs — who reject climate alarmism.

他们引用了许多关于气候灾难的失败预测作为怀疑最新说法的一个理由，即我们的星球将很快跨过无法返回的临界点，进入黯淡的未来。 文章还质疑围绕气候变化问题达成共识的观点。举个例子，全球变暖请愿项目已由超过 31,000 名美国科学家（其中包括 9,000 名博士）签署，他们反对气候危言耸听。

Perhaps of greatest importance, the article raises the question of whether modern climate change catastrophists are motivated by an anti-Christian worldview. They write, “At best, it is increasingly difficult to separate climate alarmism from neo-Marxism. At worst, far from being motivated by Christian concerns for the environment, today’s climate alarmism springs from an ideology deeply hostile to Christianity.”

也许最重要的是，这篇文章提出了一个问题：现代气候变化灾难论者是否是出于反基督教世界观的动机。他们写道：“往好里说，将气候危言耸听与新马克思主义区分开来是越来越困难。往坏了说，今天的气候危言耸听绝非出于基督徒对环境的担忧，而是源于对基督教深怀敌意的意识形态。”



For a Climate CatastropheThe second article, ” – 对于气候灾难第二篇文章，“

Katharine Hayhoe: A Leading Climate Change Christian Scientist“, interviews Professor Hayhoe and her husband, who is a pastor in Texas.
Holding an academic post at Texas Tech University, Hayhoe is convinced by the data that climate change is real – and it is serious. The author of many papers and books, some have said that she’s the best communicator about climate change in the world.

凯瑟琳·海霍：一位领先的气候变化基督教科学家》采访了海霍教授和她的丈夫，他是德克萨斯州的一名牧师。 海霍在德克萨斯理工大学担任学术职务，他相信数据表明气候变化是真实存在的，而且很严重。她是许多论文和书籍的作者，有人说她是世界上有关气候变化的最佳传播者

She argues that extreme weather events have intensified and become more frequent – and this is driven by a warmer planet. As these extreme weather events destroy livelihoods and threaten human lives, climate change is not ultimately about saving the planet. It is about saving us.
As a result, she puts forth a call to act on climate change with this question: “What is climate change other than a failure to love? Because these disasters affect us. They affect the food we eat.”

她认为，极端天气事件已经加剧并且变得更加频繁——这是由地球变暖造成的。由于这些极端天气事件破坏了生计并威胁着人类的生命，气候变化最终并不是为了拯救地球。这是为了拯救我们。 因此，她提出了一个问题，呼吁对气候变化采取行动：“除了缺乏爱之外，气候变化是什么？因为这些灾难影响着我们。它们影响着我们吃的食物。”

Watch Professor Hayhoe give a presentation on climate change in the video below. Her lecture ends with a call not to have a spirit of fear about the future, but a hope-filled attitude which leads to positive action instead.Canberra Declaration is unashamedly pro-freedom, family, faith and life. These are our core issues. Climate change falls outside of that range.

在下面的视频中观看海霍教授关于气候变化的演讲。她的演讲最后呼吁不要对未来抱有恐惧的精神，而是要抱有充满希望的态度，从而采取积极行动。《堪培拉宣言》毫不掩饰地支持自由、家庭、信仰和生活。这些是我们的核心问题。气候变化不在该范围内。

However, when climate activists such as David Attenborough describe humans as a “plague on the earth”, we will speak against such an anti-life and anti-Christian position.
We are also concerned about some of the results of climate alarmism such as fear and anxiety about the future, a reluctance to have children, and the anti-Western civilisation message some proponents promote. These do intersect with our core values and make it vitally important that there is a place for a proper Christian response with a commitment to free speech. The Daily Declaration Christian News site is such a place.

然而，当大卫·阿滕伯勒等气候活动家将人类描述为“地球上的瘟疫”时，我们会反对这种反生命和反基督教的立场。 我们还对气候危言耸听的一些后果感到担忧，例如对未来的恐惧和焦虑、不愿生育，以及一些支持者宣扬的反西方文明信息。这些确实与我们的核心价值观相交叉，并且使得在致力于言论自由的情况下做出适当的基督教回应变得至关重要。 《每日宣言》基督教新闻网站就是这样一个地方。

Ultimately, God is in control of the planet (Gen 8:22) and is on his way to the time when “the kingdom of this world” becomes “the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ”. At this time, the earth will return to its pristine Edenic condition and the curse on creation will be broken (Isa 11:6–9; Rev 22:3).
Until then, people have a responsibility to care for the environment (Gen 1:26–27; 2:15) so that it nourishes and sustains the human race to the best of our ability, and for the glory of God.

最终，神控制了这个星球（创世记 8:22），并且正在走向“这世界的国”成为“我们主和他基督的国”的时代。此时，地球将恢复到原始的伊甸园状态，对受造物的诅咒将被打破（赛 11:6-9；启示录 22:3）。 在那之前，人们有责任爱护环境（创世记 1：26-27；2：15），以便环境能够尽最大努力滋养和维持人类，并荣耀上帝。 如果您对此通讯有任何回应，请在两篇《每日宣言》文章底部发表评论（而不是发送回复电子邮件）。您对《每日宣言》文章的评论非常有价值。
