The Hill: The real reason Biden is going to the COP26 climate summit

UN’s COP26 logo

COP26 begins next week. Here is some information about it:

What is COP26? …

October 27, 2021

weather disasters that are now five times more common than in the 1970s, …

The issue is no longer something that happens elsewhere. In the United States, 2021 has been a year of almost biblical weather disasters. Extreme cold knocked out power to as much as a quarter of Texans. An unprecedented heat dome brought temperatures as high as 117 degrees and killed hundreds of peoplein the Pacific Northwest. Huge wildfires destroyed thousands of buildings in California. Tropical Storm Henri caused as much as $12 billion in damages. Massive rainfall killed 20 in Tennessee in August. Hurricane Ida caused historic flooding in New York, Philadelphia and beyond. …

COP26 is the annual United Nations meeting of the 197 countries that have agreed to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, originally adopted in 1992. …

What does COP26 stand for?

COP is short for “Conference of the Parties” because it is a conference of the parties or countries that signed the agreement. This is the 26th meeting of all the signatories. The first was in 1995 in Berlin. ,,,

The overall goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to keep the global temperature from rising more than 1.5 degrees Celsius due to climate change. …

Queen Elizabeth II has said she will be in Glasgow, along with Prince Charles and Camilla and the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Dutchess of Cambridge. Pope Francis plans to attend, depending on his health. … Biden will be there Nov. 1 and 2, https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2021/10/27/un-climate-change-conference-cop-26-guide/8527366002/

James Bhagwan … is general secretary of the Pacific Conference of Churches, a Methodist minister based in Fiji, and visited Geneva on his way to COP26, in Scotland’s biggest city, Glasgow, from Oct. 31 to Nov .12.

“COP26 is important because if this doesn’t work, then we’re in serious danger. It’s already obvious that many of the targets set during the Paris agreement in 2015 have not been met,” says Bhagwan with passion and sadness tinging his voice, the World Council of Churches reported.

“We’re in danger of going well beyond the 1.5 limit of carbon emissions that we need to maintain where we’re at.” …

“We are on the frontline of climate change; we have rising seas we have ocean acidification which affects our fish and the life of the ocean.

“We have extreme weather events now regularly, and the category five cyclones which, in the past, would be the exception to the rule for us, now are the baseline for our extreme weather events. During the cyclone season, at least one cyclone will be category five,” explained Bhagwan. 10/26/21 https://www.ecumenicalnews.com/article/pacific-islands-in-peril-churches-leader-stresses-before-climate-change-conference/60933.htm

The USA formally left the Paris climate accords known also as COP21, that was endorsed originally by the Obama-Biden Administration.

The COP21 Paris agreement was consistent with the Pope Francis’ Laudato Si encyclical in areas of international cooperation, climate matters, and forced wealth redistribution in the Spring of 2015. The accord was basically a move towards socialism and world governance. Many want more of both. As it turns out, Pope Francis gave Donald Trump a copy of his Laudato Si encyclical to read when they met a year ago.

Because of Donald Trump’s announcement to withdraw the US from the Paris Accords, the US was declared a “rogue nation.” Because of that, we made the following video:

The USA Declared a ‘Rogue Nation’!

Because of US President Donald Trump’s position on ‘climate change’ as well as certain executive orders from him, the USA has been declared a rogue nation by various ones in Europe, Africa, Asia, and other parts of the world. How does Webster’s Dictionary define ‘rogue’? Is it possible that considering that the USA is a rogue nation will be part of the justification for it getting taken over in the future? What does the Vatican want done? Does the Bible teach that friends, who do not mean to takeover the USA will one day destroy it? Might ‘climate change’ be part of a false gospel?

Here is a link to our video: The USA Declared a ‘Rogue Nation’!

Now, with Joe Biden as US President, the USA is supportive again.

The Hill reported the following:

The real reason Biden is going to the COP26 climate summit

On Oct. 31, President Biden and the leaders of nearly 200 other nations will converge on Scotland for COP26 …

Biden is going in part because he clearly cares about the environment, as we all should. But he has other reasons for going, many of which are more political than environmental.

To change the “Biden isn’t up to the job” narrative. Biden has had a disastrous two months, and he desperately wants to change the current political narrative that’s questioning whether he’s up to the job of president. …

the administration hopes that seeing Biden addressing COP26 and reading a much-vetted speech will give the media and Democrats something positive to talk about. And it may. The problem with that hope is that Biden often goes off script or makes a hash of his speeches.

To be seen as the world’s leader on climate change. Both Biden and former President Obama want to be seen as the game-changing leader on climate change. Both men see it as a legacy issue — especially their own legacy. …

For Biden, however, at least one of his goals might be achieved — changing the political narrative. He won’t be any more successful at climate change than he has been in other policy areas, but the media will praise him for trying. 10/26/21 https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/578465-the-real-reason-biden-is-going-to-the-cop26-climate-summit

Joe Biden has received a lot of negative press because of his decision to pull out of Afghanistan the way he did, border issues, inflation, and other matters. He has seen his ‘approval’ ratings drop in polls. Many have questioned his mental fitness for the job.

That being said, in addition to Pope Francis, many of the world’s churches have been involved in supporting the UN’s climate goals.

The head of the World Council of Churches basically (and wrongly) equated not supporting the climate change agenda as the unpardonable sin. A while back, we put the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

19:43

The ‘Unpardonable Sin’ and ‘Climate Change’?

On September 7, 2016, Olav Fykse Tveit, Church of Norway Pastor, and the General Secretary of the World Council of Churches, essentially declared that those who ignore ‘climate change’ are committing the ‘unpardonable sin’ against the Holy Spirit. Are those two even related? In this video, Dr. Thiel answers that and explains from the Bible what the ‘unpardonable sin’ is and how you can avoid it. He also discusses aspects of Christianity and the environment.

Here is a link to our video: The ‘Unpardonable Sin’ and ‘Climate Change’?

Pope Francis has repeatedly endorsed the UN agenda. He attempted to assist with it by making an encyclical titled Laudato Si. While it is not clear if it were he that pushed the UN to accept his views or the UN got him to accept its views, the reality is that both sides came up with the essentially same views. And these views had a lot to do with economic and societal control and not a huge amount of pollution-related actions.

Pope Francis, the World Council of Church’s (WCC) Olav Fykse Tveit, and others have been pushing a false gospel. We also made a video about that:

9:31

A Different False Gospel

While there have been a variety of false gospels since at least the time of Simon Magus and the Gnostics, there is a relatively new one being pushed by major leaders of the world’s churches. Essentially, leaders are teaching that ‘climate change’ is related to salvation, the unpardonable sin, and something called the ‘social gospel.’ This is being pushed by leaders including Pope Francis of the Church of Rome, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of the Eastern Orthodox Church, and Olav Tveit of the World Council of Churches. Is this a false gospel consistent with Galatians 1:6-11? Are these angels of light or something else (cf. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 )? While it is good to not pollute, will the ecumenical climate change agenda work according to the Bible? Dr. Thiel address these issues and more.

Here is a link: A Different False Gospel.

This false gospel is one that does not involve repentance towards God, does not require accepting Jesus as the only name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), nor does it embrace “the faith once delivered to the saints.”

Many are promoting a worldly view that without repentance, but through international cooperation of unconverted leaders, the world will be able to improve itself and solve its problems.

The Bible says that will not work.

Twice the Bible warns:

There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. (Proverbs 14:12, 16:25)

Instead of humans fixing the world’s problems, Jesus warned:

21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. (Matthew 24:21-22)

The Bible teaches:

1 Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; (Psalm 127:1)

While the WORLD’S churches and many politicians are involved in “Climate Action,” they, most often, have not have sought to go about it God’s way. They are laboring in vain. This does not mean that humans should waste resources or pollute, and some steps should be taken, but the thrust of the agenda is not to be proper biblical stewards of the earth. Instead, the details tend to focus on various controlling methods that are often not consistent with biblical morals.

The Bible says they will not succeed. Notice a statement related to the world at the time of Jesus’ return:

18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come,
And the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,
And those who fear Your name, small and great,
And should destroy those who destroy the earth. (Revelation 11:18)

This does not mean that pollution should not be reduced.

All people should try to pollute less and waste less. We should not litter. We should pick up after ourselves. We should try to insure our plastic trash does not blow into waterways or on the land. We should try to avoid, or minimize, the use of synthetic chemicals where it is feasible. And yes, we can separate trash for recycling, as well as try to reuse items instead of throwing them away and replacing them. We should live as Christian pacifists–human wars have long been a factor in pollution and destruction and this will get worse. We should live as Jesus and strive not to sin, while we look forward to, and teach, about the coming Kingdom of God.

Despite UN and other goals on the environment, the Bible shows that the ecological system will get much worse as higher heat and rising seas are coming:

8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory. (Revelation 16:8-9)

12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place (Revelation 6:12-14).

17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. 19 Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. 20 Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great (Revelation 16:17-21).

Note, however, the above prophecies are for several years into the future–we are not too near that yet.

Dealing with rising temperatures is NOT “A race we can win,” without repentance, as a slogan from the UN Climate Action Summit has claimed.

But with international efforts to push towards globalism, often now without the USA, the world will try to create something claimed to fulfill the vision of Pope Francis, Europe, the WCC, and the UN. Yet, it will not bring lasting peace–it will end in death and destruction.

The Bible is clear that a new world will then come. But that will be the millennial Kingdom of God, not from the UN Climate Action Summit COP26, pressure from the WCC, or the Vatican’s Laudato Si.

God can truly fix the disaster that humans are causing through sin. Something that many in the UN, WCC, and Vatican do not believe or understand.

Pray for God’s kingdom to come (Matthew 6:10).
