unusually warm water in the Pacific Ocean. El Nino
translates as Little Boy, or Christ Child.
The phenomenon, which happens every two to seven
years, usually peaks late in the calendar year, although
the effects can persist well into the following spring a

HA HA: "Climate change: Scientists turn to faith to enlist supporters -"

Do they think the "religious folk" will be easy targets?
Think again. But then,it all depends on the religious leaders & what they emphasize. Most people will "follow the leader",for better or worse. That's why God will judge the leaders so much more critically. We have SO MANY preachers,& churches & mega-churches. Preachers WITHOUT integrity & ethics are just good at yanking peoples chains to maintain their own comfort level. Preachers WITH integrity can do a TON of good,but they are few & far between. I can usually tell a good or bad preacher instantly based on what they do when they see me for the 1st time. Bad preachers will try to control me with a long hard stare. Good preachers will just continue to do their job because they properly prepared & are doing their job.
