Proverbs 14:12 states, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” What appears right to men is not always right. When the majority of a society endorses a certain viewpoint, one would do well to suspect that viewpoint. The truth is seldom found in the mainstream of thought. Because of their fallen nature, men are inclined to believe a lie before they believe the truth. Certain ancient societies believed in human sacrifices. Today we abhor such practices; most likely, future generations will abhor evil practices this generation endorses such as abortion, sodomy, gambling, etc.

Another popular misconception of man is that his technological advances create climate change. It is not his technology but his sins that cause droughts, floods, famines, etc. Evidence has been found recently that shows the Sahara Desert was verdant and supported animal life many centuries ago. What made it a desert? It certainly was not the burning of fossil fuels or the combustion engine. Rather, it was the Lord. Psalm 107:33-35 declare, “He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; A fruitful land into barrenness for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.”

Men can put a band-aid on the problem of climate change by trying to go green, but they will not thereby solve the problem. In fact, they will create new problems. Soon we will hear about all the damage to birds and the environment wind farms are causing. The ends of the ways men think to be right are always ways of death. If men are really willing to solve climate problems, then let them repent of their evil ways and seek the Lord (2 Chron. 7:12-14).
