Its probably global warming in all honesty. Although I'm not sophisticated enough to speak on that
It is real and there's too much evidence year after year to back it up.
I'm not sure why people don't believe it but like with many things even if some see something right in front of their eyes they refuse to admit it.
And even anyone uneducated on the subject like you say Pats can do the math and put 2 + 2 together by all the facts.
The more we destroy they Earth as we build roads, buildings, and let off other things that kill the ozone means something has to give and change, but it's changing for the worse.
The thing is, those who 100% don't believe in God should take this more serious than they are, and be much more concerned with man destroying the Earth because if life doesn't go on after this and we have nobody to turn to, then it's up to us to save mankind from becoming extinct...
