Global warming would mean that God quit breathing!!! Job 37

In Job 37:10 we read the following: "From the breath of God ice is made, and the expanse of the waters is frozen." In the verse just prior to this the speaker states, "Out of the south comes the storm, and out of the north the cold" (37:9). These two verses indicate that Elihu, as he is speaking to Job during Job's pain and suffering, that God is responsible for the polar icecaps. According to Holy Scripture, God keeps the cold in the north, freezes the "expanse of water" and makes the ice. I have no doubt there is a bad effect on earth due to man's destructive nature.   In fact, we read in Romans 8:22 that the earth actually "groans" in pain, looking for redemption because of the stress put on it due to man's sin ... yes, sin effects the condition of the earth.   We must also agree that the atmosphere is not immune to the folly's of man's desire for riches and power.   We can also agree that the bad use of what God has given us in creation is not honoring or glorifying to God.    But, we must be careful when taking the leap some would want us to take. The reason the north pole is cold (frozen) is because God designed it that way and keeps it that way!!! Until He quits breathing cold air and making ice we will not see the destruction of that particular part of the planet.   But, that doesn't mean we won't see the signs of our global sin.   If you are a believer you should be ashamed of how we treat God's creation and be active in glorifying God with it.   But, you should also realize and continue to believe that ice and cold are from the breath of God.  And, until He quits breathing it on the north pole we will have a north pole.   He will, someday, quit making ice, of course ... someday He is going to destroy the entire earth with fire!!  Now, that will be global warming.
