For two decades, the public has been bombarded with dire warnings of an impending climate-induced agricultural apocalypse. The claim is that a climate warmed excessively by the carbon dioxide emissions of human activity will ravage the food supply and plunge humanity into famine and chaos.

Lately they have focused increasingly on contributions from two other “greenhouse gases,” primarily from agriculture—methane (CH4) from

Why Young Evangelicals Are in Danger of Becoming Puppets for Climate Marxism

By /

The following is a guest article by Jason Mattera. The phrase “useful idiot” referred to those individuals during the Cold War who unwittingly disseminated communist propaganda (American liberals), even if they weren’t commies themselves. Naïfs, in other words.  Major-league naïfs. Today, there appears to be a growing number of young evangelicals who are intent on proving
