Global warming: Health effects

considering the fact that there's no vaccine and that the mosquitoes are becoming resistant to existing drugs.

Malaria is emerging once again north and south of the tropics. When the hottest decade on record began in 1990, outbreaks of malaria occurred during heat waves in Florida, Texas, Georgia, Michigan, New York and New Jersey. More than likely, these outbreaks began with a traveler carrying an infected mosquito.

Dengue fever is also spreading. Currently, dengue fever plagues approximately fifty to a hundred million in the tropics and there is no known treatment available. Warm winters and hot, dry summers aid the transmission of encephalitis and other infections circulating among birds and mosquitoes.

Hurricane Mitch stalled over Central America in 1998, killing at least eleven thousand people. Afterwards, Honduras reported thousands of cases of cholera, malaria and dengue fever.

The health threat that global warning poses is mind-boggling. However, the events taking place around the world, i,e, war, global warming, unusual weather patterns, earthquakes (China) cyclones (Myanmar) killing more than 100,000 people, were spoken of by Jesus Christ Himself.

In the books of Matthew (24 & 25) Jesus said, "And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Behold, I have told you before."

Therefore, if you are a Christian, perhaps you should reevaluate you relationship with Jesus. He is very displeased with the lukewarm church of the last days (Rev. 3:14) and He's right there waiting for you to come back to Him.

If you are not a Christian, time is running out. (John 3:18). He is right there waiting for you to accept Him. And since He is the ONLY way to heaven (John 14:6) maybe you should answer the knock at your heart's door.

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Rev. 3:20

Jesus said that there would be many who will go to Him crying, "Lord, Lord," and He will say to them, "I never knew you."

Do you know Jesus? Demons know Him too, and tremble. So the most important question would be, does He know YOU?
