Global Warming, Earth’s History, and Jesus’ Return As to whether
or not the Earth is currently going through a warming trend,
there is much debate. Although many, including former Vice
President Al Gore, vehemently defend the man-made global warming
theory (see “An Inconvenient Truth,” 2006), countless others,
including thousands of scientists, have rejected the theory in
part or in whole (see “Weather Channel Founder...,” 2007;
Bonnici, 2008; Brennan, 2008). One truth that seems to get
little attention, however, is the fact that the Earth has gone
through various warming and cooling periods in the past. Today,
Antarctica is covered by seven million cubic miles of ice, which
represents 90% of all the ice on Earth (“Antarctica,” 2008). The
continental ice sheet at the South Pole is about 9,000 feet
thick (Amundsen-Scott..., 2008). The average temperature at the
South Pole is nearly -50 degrees Celsius. Nevertheless,
Antarctica has not always been the frozen tundra it is today.
