Climate Issues
Many people, including scientists, claim our planet is on the verge of near-destruction due to man-made climate change. However, evidence from science, history, and Scripture paints a picture showing that Earth has a stable climate. Go past the hype for solid answers to climate questions.

Climate Alarmism and the Age of the Earth
Many evangelical Christians think global warming is a serious issue that demands drastic action. At the Institute for Creation Research we tend to be skeptical of the claim that increasing amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) will cause Earth to overheat. However, old-earth beliefs actually make a major contribution to climate change alarmism.
Does Scripture Say Anything about Climate?
Climate change conversations squeeze their way into so many different topics, yet climate research is rife with confusion. Which scientists are right: those who say pollution causes most global warming, or those who say that pollution may only play a minor role? Even expert opinions vary to extremes. In contrast, Genesis makes confident statements about earth’s climate.
Cosmic Rays, Sunspots, and Climate Change (Part 1)
Sunspots are relatively cool blotches on the sun’s surface. The number of sunspots is an indicator of how active the sun is. It has the most sunspots when it’s most active—at solar maximum—and has a slightly higher total energy output during that time. Likewise, the sun has the fewest sunspots at solar minimum. The number of sunspots varies over an 11-year solar cycle. Could there be a connection between sunspot cycles and Earth’s weather and climate? If so, is this relevant to the global warming debate?
Is Climate Change Activism a Religion?
Hawaiian Senator Mazie Hirono recently stated that people should “believe in climate change as though it’s a religion.” She then very quickly added, “It’s not, it’s science.”1 But one can’t help but wonder: Is climate change—especially the belief in catastrophic anthropogenic (man-made) global warming (CAGW)—a religion of sorts?
