Global warming is real. And it's depressing ... day after day, clouds without water.

There's a Chick Tract (Jack Chick is the best artist, but anyway...) the particular comic booklet (there's over a 100 different ones) shows a really hot and dry land; so hot, the sun scorches people.  This one guy is slumped on the ground, and he has a fist in the air, and he's cursing God.  

Used to think that the weather would heat up like that, suddenly.  But, other places in the Scriptures show change-for-the-worse happening over time.  For instance, before the flood, people lived like 800 or 900 years; right after the flood, man's lifespan shrank down to like 400 or 500 years.  Soon after that, to like 300 or 400 years.  By the time you get to Moses, people lived to around 120-something.

So, the flood happened about 4,500 years ago.  Moses lived about 3,400 years ago.  By the time King David headed the government, (around 2,900 years ago) man's lifespan was around 70 or 80 years.
