YES, 41 year-old Hollywood actor and Oscar best actor awardee Leonardo DiCaprio is right when he said “it is all up to us” to find a solution to the impending worldwide death and destruction coming from global warming and climate change, and yes, he is right in saying many politicians and world leaders are misleading the world by telling us there is really no global warming.

Indeed, it is only going to be us, concerned citizens of the world, who should be acting now, or right away, to stave off the forthcoming death and destruction–the kind that had been predicted to happen thousands of years ago, both by scientists, and by those who are studying the biblical pronouncements on the matter.

But then, would it be enough, as DiCaprio is suggesting in his justeleased documentary film “Before the Flood,” for man to stop using palm oil-based products, replace our reliance on beef and chicken with vegetables, and use our power of suffrage as a tool to install leaders who are committed to fighting global warming?

With due respect, I am sure that the suggestions that we listed here, and the others which Agence France Press reported at 8:22 a.m., October 16, 2016 (see http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/825784/dicaprio-issues-climate-action-call-in-new-documentary), were all meant to find a solution which could hopefully make a dent somehow against global warming.

Unfortunately, however, even an outstanding advocate like DiCaprio seems unable to comprehend, again with due respect, that there is a very strong spiritual angle to global warming and climate change, ignoring, deliberately or not, that the Bible actually contains prophecies about severe and extreme weather aberrations that could destroy the world and kill mankind.

This inability, or perhaps outright refusal of DiCaprio and all other big names in the movement against global warming and climate change, to recognize the indubitable or undeniable connection between environmental degradation and spiritual strength or maturity of man accounts for the awesome failure of all their efforts against global warming.

This is unfortunate, especially in the light of the huge amount of money, now estimated to be in trillions of dollars, that have been spent in the fight against the environmental malady. The question now is, when will DiCaprio and others learn the truth that global warming needed to be fought not only using all the strategies they are employing now, but even the principles enunciated in the Bible?

What are these principles? I can suggest two. The first one says that global warming and climate change is a curse from God which is given to a people who no longer listen to, and no longer obey, Him (which means, who no longer read the Bible). This can be found in Deuteronomy 28:15 and 22-23, as our “Life’s Inspirations” today shows.

The second principle says that the rains, floods, and strong winds will surely come, and will cause death and destruction, unless people will truly listen to the words of Jesus, our God and Savior, and carries them out carefully. This is found in Matthew 7:24-27. I am therefore asking DiCaprio and all other big names in global warming to incorporate these two principles in their programs of action.
