Nov 26th, 2021: Walk the Talk
David Suzuki's warning of blowing up pipelines if leaders don't act on climate change is rather disappointing. It is another chapter of celebrated hypocrisy. I can appreciate his conviction on climate change. I don't think inciting violence is the way to move forward in the very discussion. Dr. Suzuki has lowered himself to the level of any street thug to settle disagreements or differences.
Maybe he needs to take a more drastic step towards a simple life before calling for pipeline bombing. It is somewhat perplexing to call for action on climate change when his own personal approach to life doesn't really match it. You might want to do your research about how Dr. Suzuki has contributed a larger carbon footprint than an average Canadian.
It is everyone's responsibility to use our natural resources carefully. It is appropriate for us to be thoughtful about our way of life and its carbon footprints. Being wasteful is not godly. Being hypocritical is distasteful. Let us destroy one another to protect the earth is not a thesis that I would like to follow.
Moderation is the best approach. Until we can discover a sustainable form of energy that can replace fossil fuel, we need to be good stewards in managing what God has given to us. It starts with the self-examination of our personal use of energy. Lack of honesty and integrity is problematic.
1 Timothy 4: 12
"Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity."
Micah 6: 8
"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"
