Michele Bachmann: Climate Change is a 'fraud' because God promised Noah there'd be no more floods

“I would encourage pastors to start preaching on this issue of climate change and God’s view of climate change,” Bachmann told host Jan Markell in an audio clip flagged by Right Wing Watch. “The very covenant was established by God and Noah. And that covenant was that sin was so gross in the world that God had to bring about judgment, and then he had to bring about salvation, and from there came Abraham.”

“God put a rainbow in the sky as a sign of his covenant and he said very clearly to the entire world, ‘Never again will there be judgment, never again will the world be flooded,’” Bachman added.

According to Bachmann, when it comes to God’s word, you can “take it to the bank.”

“And what is it these frauds tells us with climate change?” she said. “That the world’s going to be flooded. Isn’t it interesting they’re saying it’s going to be another catastrophe, it’s flooding, we’re going to be flooded? God says we will never be flooded.”

Well if the far right religious loon Michelle says it it must be true...
Of course, this is a real problem, because this is the bollocks that give Trump cover to pull all of his environmental nasty.

And if you think she is delusional, then you are the one who is delusional.

Funny how that works, no?

If you think you know more than she does, then you're just suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect.

regardless of what the bible says, earth is not 6000 years old.
And Adam & Eve are not our ancestors.

Does bible say anything about recurring ace ages which visit the earth every 15-30 thousand years?
And where does all that ice go? Yap, global warming every 15-30 thousand years.
Last global warming which melted all those glaciers sitting on top of Chicagoland & Midwest created the largest body of fresh water we call The Great Lakes.

as the one delivering the message of gawd's view.

Also funny how a being so powerful as gawd can't seem to be able to deliver his/her/its own message.

back in the day, the world would next be destroyed by fire! Hot, hot temperatures, massive forest fires and nuclear war seem to fit the bill. See Michelle, we can be correct.

Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in an exothermic reaction. The sun is nuclear fusion.

So nope. Science: 2, Religion: 0.

Fire and Ice
Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

the mass murderer who killed every human on the planet except eight, right? The one who was in a snit about these humans not worshiping him adequately? The one who killed all, including babies, then gave the survivors a rainbow to celebrate? The "pro-life" God? You mean that one, Michelle?

There are no words to describe this lunacy. Fine to belong to a cult, Michelle, but we really don't want you and your cult in charge.
