Aristotle argues, in Book 8 of the Physics and Book 12 of the Metaphysics, “that there must be an immortal, unchanging being, ultimately responsible for all wholeness and orderliness in the sensible world”.[4]

The weather and climate are always examples of this, What we refer to as source regions are unmoved movers, but there is always something behind it. The weather you see today began long ago through a series of events that in totality may be the unmoved mover. Weather and Climate are spiritual affirmations to me, and I think of it that way. They are not my Gods, they are evidence of God, So I see God’s hand in them each day. From Horizon to Horizon with my limited vision, but an increasing realm due to the advancement of science in the total aspect. After all an infinite God implies the creation of a infinite set of possibilities. Man in his finite mind is foolish to think he knows enough to be able to counter God’s design.  All of these in the design of nature are laid out for man to search for and hopefully see God’s hand in them and turn to them. Nothing that you see today has been created anew. All was nere before. As men, we have used these materials to advance ourselves which is what a mighty and merciful God wants. Once one sees the glory of God in a matter, the gratitude develops and the bond with God strengthens. A little more of the unmoved mover is revealed. Such is the spiritual nature of weather and climate, and when one thinks about it all the challenges we face, they are there by design, to coax us into striving toward this higher being. But not to think we are the higher being. which is where the folly of man comes in

In seeking to control, not make use of, the natural gifts bestowed upon us for the reasons above ( the advancement of man) one has to answer the question of what is pollution. There is no raw material on earth that was not in some form here from the beginning. What is now here, that was not, are the products of that raw material. As stewards of the planet, we are charged with taking care of the planet. So polluting the planet is the opposite of that.

Biden will just order the grid not to fail!  Problem solved.

America’s Power Grid Could Buckle Under Sweltering Summer Heat, Watchdog Warns

Considerable portions of the U.S. are facing heightened risks of blackouts over the summer months, according to a new report by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC).

Most of New England, Texas, the Midwest and the Southwest face “elevated risk” of electricity shortages this summer if demand peaks at levels above normal, according to NERC’s 2024 summer reliability report. While the specific challenges that each region may face this summer differ, several large swaths of the country could have to respond to blackout conditions if solar and wind power fail to produce as much power as expected during periods of tight supply and more extreme summer weather.


“NERC’s latest reliability assessment shows that our electricity grid is becoming increasingly reliant on weather-dependent sources of electricity, leaving one-third of the country at elevated risk of blackouts this summer,” Michelle Bloodworth, CEO of America’s Power, a pro-coal advocacy group, said of the NERC report and its findings.

Economic damage from climate change six times worse than thought – report
A 1C increase in global temperature leads to a 12% decline in world gross domestic product, researchers have found

The economic damage wrought by climate change is six times worse than previously thought, with global heating set to shrink wealth at a rate consistent with the level of financial losses of a continuing permanent war, research has found.

A 1C increase in global temperature leads to a 12% decline in world gross domestic product (GDP), the researchers found, a far higher estimate than that of previous analyses. The world has already warmed by more than 1C (1.8F) since pre-industrial times and many climate scientists predict a 3C (5.4F) rise will occur by the end of this century due to the ongoing burning of fossil fuels, a scenario that the new working paper, yet to be peer-reviewed, states will come with an enormous economic cost.

A 3C temperature increase will cause “precipitous declines in output, capital and consumption that exceed 50% by 2100” the paper states. This economic loss is so severe that it is “comparable to the economic damage caused by fighting a war domestically and permanently”, it adds.
