Bob Theil, the non-ordained self-appointed Chief Overseer, end time prophet, Chief Apostle, world renown authority on Mayan baloney and end time prophecy, is all a twitter tonight with a report from the New York Times:
It is claimed that we now have the highest level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in 3,000,000 years:
May 10, 2013
The level of the most important heat-trapping gas in the
atmosphere, carbon dioxide, has passed a long-feared milestone,
scientists reported on Friday, reaching a concentration not seen on the
earth for millions of years.
Scientific monitors reported that the gas had reached an
average daily level that surpassed 400 parts per million…The best
available evidence suggests the amount of the gas in the air has not
been this high for at least three million years…and scientists believe
the rise portends large changes in the climate and the level of the sea.

Of course this has to lead directly into proof-texting Scripture to fit his worldview of an angry god pissed off at his creation.
Many scientists believe that increased CO2 levels result in increased
temperature levels, and some rising of sea levels have been recorded.
The Bible itself tells of a time of disturbances including rising sea levels before Jesus returns:
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and
in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the
sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and
the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the
powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of
Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. (Luke 21:25-27)
41
Oh, how the praise of the whole earth is seized! How Babylon has become
desolate among the nations! 42 The sea has come up over Babylon; She is
covered with the multitude of its waves. 43 Her cities are a desolation,
A dry land and a wilderness, A land where no one dwells, Through which
no son of man passes. 44 I will punish Bel in Babylon, And I will bring
out of his mouth what he has swallowed; And the nations shall not stream
to him anymore. Yes, the wall of Babylon shall fall. 45 “My people, go
out of the midst of her! And let everyone deliver himself from the
fierce anger of the LORD (Jeremiah 51:41-45).
17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a
loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying,
“It is done!” 18 And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings;
and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as
had not occurred since men were on the earth. 19 Now the great city was
divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great
Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of
the fierceness of His wrath. 20 Then every island fled away, and the
mountains were not found. (Revelation 16:17-20)
The Bible teaches that a time of high heat is coming:
8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun,
and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were
scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has
power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.
(Revelation 16:8-9)
And although the above heat is being released by an angelic being, it
may very well be that high carbon dioxide levels will predispose the
planet for that heat, as well as possibly the rising sea levels.
Bob thinks we are now close to the"time of sorrows" and it is important that people repent and join his TRUE church since there is no other on the planet at the moment but his. His god only calls people into his "truth."
And the time for God’s judgment is coming. It is even possible that the
“beginning of sorrows” which includes “troubles” has began. The time to
turn to God is now, for whosoever will respond to God’s calling.
