U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg of Michigan said last week that while he believes climate change is real, it is something for God — not humans — to fix, according to a report in Time.

The congressman told his constituents during a town hall meeting in Coldwater that he believes God will "take care of" climate change if it proves to be a "real problem."

"I believe there's climate change. I believe there's been climate change since the beginning of time," Walberg said, as reported by Time. "Do I think man has some impact? Yeah, of course. Can man change the entire universe? No."

He continued: "Why do I believe that? Well, as a Christian, I believe that there is a creator in God who is much bigger than us. And I'm confident that, if there's a real problem, he can take care of it."

Well as a Christian I believe god isn't going to do much to fix climate change, like he doesn't do much to fix many modern problems.

it's a safe bet he doesnt actually believe that

he is saying it to appeal to morons who don't think critically

what he believes is "exxon says i have to oppose carbon emission reductions and they won't pay for my next campaign if i don't"

He actually won't take care of it. Well, he will, but only after the world ends. Currently, the world is of Satan and man and not God, we are fully responsible for this planet and he expects us to fuck it up since that would prove to all that God is actually needed.

this reminds me of an old joke

a town is flooding and a man is on his roof
someone comes up to him on a row boat and tells him to get in and he will be taken to safety

the man replies "no, god will surely save me"

some time later the water has risen and someone comes by in a motor boat and says "get in and ill take you to safety"

the man again replies "no, god will surely save me"

finally a small yacht passes by and again the man turns down the offer of rescue with "no, god will surely save me"


the man drowns in the flood and when he gets to heaven he asks god "why didnt you save me"
god replies "well i sent 3 different boats!"


god helps those that help themselves

Nitpicking, but our Sun isn't the type of star that will explode. It will simply swell up to the point that it becomes larger than the orbits of Mercury, Venus, and possibly Earth, before shedding off its layers of gas into interstellar space and then being reduced to a white dwarf that will over billions and billions of years will cool down.

To be more precise, God 'can' take care of climate change. But he won't, because we wouldn't learn nuthin' otherwise.

Reminds me of religious idiots who use faith healing over actual medical care...

Idiots: "GOD!? Why didn't you save them!? we prayed so hard!"
GOD: "You fuckin dumbasses, i gave you access to medical care, i gave you doctors who could help, i helped alert you of the issue so you could seek help....why didn't you do anything?"

Can't you just say "god will take care of the people with ideologies I don't agree with?"

Why is the former worthy of being put in god's hands, but the latter is not?
