So allow me to address this little shindig taking place over in Copenhagen, otherwise known as the U.N.'s Climate Change Conference.  First, for the inconvenient truth, contrary to popular belief, reports are that for the past decade the climate has actually been cooling.  For a further treatment of that subject, pick up a copy of the book Super Freakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes and why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner.  Global cooling or global warming, though, is not what brings me to the blogosphere to critique the Copenhagen conference.  Consider this little ditty from our national newspaper, The Financial Post, "The 'inconvenient truth' overhanging the U.N.'s Copenhagen conference is not that the climate is warming or cooling, but that humans are overpopulating the world."  The solution proposed to this dire circumstance? "A PLANETARY law, such as China's one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate... which is one million births every four days."  In case you missed the proposed solution, stop having babies is the mantra that is springing forth from this august gathering.

This of course, is rich with all manner of fodder and presents an amusing opportunity to poke at all kinds of taboo subjects emanating from the liberal left, but my point isn't to bring up reproductive rights and whether men can create laws that place restrictions on a woman's uterus, but rather to point out what such a law would mean in terms of a one world government, a one world enforcement policy, one world monetary requirements, one world rule of law and the list goes on.  Whatever direction this debate takes, this whole discussion is heading down the primrose path of global domination by the antichrist.

I don't want to be an alarmist, but we should not observe these types of global events with benign disinterest.  What is taking place in gatherings, such as the one in Copenhagen, will have profound effects well beyond what is decided with regard to the global climate.  In the guise of saving the planet, if the Financial Times is to be believed, this conference has moved from reducing greenhouse emissions to touching on the sanctity of life and the possibility of some worldwide governmental enforcement of laws prohibiting a woman from having children.  I don't know how this idea will play out in socialist Europe, but I'm guessing it isn't going to fly high in Peoria and nor should it.  While scripture reveals to us the understanding that the antichrist will arise, that there will be world wide domination by a one world government and that Christians will be persecuted, that doesn't mean we should ideally stand by and not resist or speak out against the evil that events such as this portend.

If you ever wondered what it would take for countries to give up their sovereignty and people to surrender their freedoms so that biblical prophecy could be fulfilled, you are watching the genesis of that slippery slope unfold.  The people gathered in Copenhagen are looking to replace God.  Government is now going to be our savior and the planet is going to be our God.
