An environmental group is under fire for using the account of Noah’s Ark to try to bolster its claim that global warming will melt the poles and create floods of biblical proportions. Greenpeace International is constructing a replica of Noah’s Ark on Mount Ararat in Turkey as “a warning to mankind to act now to prevent global warming.”The 32′ x 13′ x 13′ wooden ship is being assembled some 8,200 feet above sea level by Greenpeace volunteers in an effort to underscore the environmentalist group’s urgent appeal to leaders of all nations “to tackle global warming and the impending climate change crisis.” One Greenpeace leader told Reuters News the Ark project is designed to spur politicians and world leaders into fighting what he describes as “the climate catastrophe” they “are primarily responsible for.”
Marc Morano, a spokesman for the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, says environmentalism has now become a pseudo-religion. “If you look at the new eco-hotel,” he notes, “and Reuters News wrote about this, Al Gore’s book, [An Inconvenient Truth,] is actually being placed in the nightstand now instead of the Bible in these eco-friendly hotels.

The choice of these environmentalists to build an ark on Mount Ararat makes their true motives clear. Their primary target is not the industrialized nations of the world, though they may be secondary targets, but God. Why else would they try to make their so-called political objectives known by mocking the God of the Bible, the Almighty Creator? Make no mistake; they are mocking God. If they wanted to make a political statement by building a boat on top of a mountain, they could have built any boat on top of any mountain, rather going to all the trouble of trying to build a replica of Noah’s ark in the closed nation of Turkey of all places. At best, all they can be credited for is ruthless efficiency in their attempt to mock God and make a political statement at the time, the proverbial “hitting two birds with one stone.”
Additionally, they are attempting to put themselves in a position where their sophomoric actions cannot be rebutted. As in the day of Noah, when people complain about or mock their mountain-top-boat-building expedition I expect they will point to the Biblical account and snidely remind us that Noah was mocked as well. There is a stark difference, however. (That is, other than the idea that catastrophic global warming is purely a flight of fantasy used as a fear mongering tactic and an attempt to control the masses.) Noah, built his ark in obedience to God. These environmentalists are building their ark to mock God.
“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7).
