THE LATE GREAT PLANET EARTH! ~ Update P.E. 2000 Hal Lindsey

 

The biggest selling ÔsemiÕ fiction religious book of 20th century predicting terrible disasters in Biblical end-times.  Now update raves its 23 accurate predictions like biblical prophet! Selling print sound bites to scare Christians.  To buy his book & get serious attending ÔGodsÕ church.  Safe haven from the rising siege of newage movements, black magic, goddess worshipers, astrology, pagan hippies, drug addicts, ESP, etc. 

                      

His chapter 5 on ÒEarthquakes & Berserk WeatherÓ he parades many disasters, like Jesus predicted, to motivate US into belief in end-times will be saved by Jesus in church.  I like his ÒThe Power of NatureÓ  giant thunderstorms 180 sq miles, but no love of nature. Looking for an Ark, Role of El Nino, The Role & Power of Volcanoes, Whacky Weather Not Going Away, How Climate in Changing Ð sharp rise in methane greenhouse gas effect since 1978 heating up climate, massive icebergs melting, & C02 gas rising heating up sky.  The fast rising burning of gas/oil heating up atmosphere from industrial revolution, like Al Gore preaches.

        

Deforestation of the Planet -  raising the greenhouse gas effects of trees absorbing C02 & producing Oxygen are disappearing rapidly!  He rants against government protecting public forests, & raves for private property owners protecting wilderness, but not a timber/logging corporations.  HeÕs against environment-alists striving to protect natural resources by green government policies.  He argues against ozone layer depletion, deforest-ation, global warming/C02 are Ôscientifically relatedÓ & predicted in Ôhole bibleÕ.

     

He gives the typical rag against ÒThe Population BombÓ of too many people needing & using too much water like Òagri-culture techniques & wastefulnessÓ.  So ÒThe Coming Worldwide DroughtÓ as water wars been growing fast since 1980s. ÒThe Precariousness of the Ozone LayerÓ which he blames CFCs for causing skin ills, sunburn & cancer, scaring US of  ÒOnce ItÕs Gone, ItÕs GoneÓ,  His volcano rap ÒThe Blast Heard Round the WorldÓ  will change our weather, with eruption of ash clouds that cools the atmosphere.

         

ÒWhat Can  We do?Ó  ItÕs a helpless tale of science watching/measuring earth- changes giving warnings, but no solutions or slowing down threats & dangers, like ÒprivatizingÓ corporations owning water sources.

    

ÒIs AIDS just the Beginning? - The Biological Equivalent of Nuclear WarÓ.  His chapter 7 Ð ÒThe Age of FamineÓ Ð on Space-ship EarthÓ ranting against Òthe destruction of the environment has awesome consequence for manÓ.  ÒThe Human Toll of Drought, plagues, Starvation & Famines are common-placeÓ ÒCommon & Acute & Hidden hungerÓ. I both like his bold thrust & see his hopeless call to his God or suffer ÒIgnoring Biblical ConceptsÓ.  I agree with him on Big Thirsty World,  Food Production Slipping (small natural family-farms).

 

ÒThe Weather Factor of acid rain & greenhouse effectsÓ omits the causes & effects, for dangers to fear, not conserve & create our organic home-steads.  ÒUncle Same CanÕt (wonÕt) HelpÓ.  His solution in Got to Keep HopeÓ in Bible gods. Lastly is ÔANOTHER GREEN REVOLUTIONÓ wanting Ògreat technological advances for better food production in our 11th hourÓ.  But Ôgreen revoÕ to him & most Americans mean growing more food, not naturalizing our healthy organic food growing systems from grass-roots do it ourselves locally.
