Greenhouse gases Quote by L. Emerson Ferrell
““God cursed the snake, the woman and then the earth. The earth was flooded and all life destroyed but the curse remains. This planet is reeling and vomiting from the sin consciousness of lawless men. In my opinion, hurricanes, floods, volcanoes and other catastrophes are not the result of greenhouse gases or freak weather patterns, but the result of a sin in the consciousness of man throughout the earth.””
