Facing Global Issues
Should Christians be concerned with “global issues” today?
Global issues include
population explosion
pollution
food supply
global warming and climate change
what do these things mean for us?
Main Points
The World’s Problems
Population Explosion
Current world population = 7.6 billion
Number of humans that have ever lived - 108 billion (2017)
Number of humans that died in the Flood
one estimate - 10 trillion
my estimate - 10-50 billion
Top 10 countries by population
China = 1.4 billion
India = 1.35 billion
United States = 326 million
Indonesia = 266 million
Brazil = 210 million
Pakistan = 200 million
Nigeria = 196 million
Bangladesh = 166 million
Russia = 144 million
Mexico = 131 million
(Philippines is 13th = 106.5 million)

Food Production

795 million - go hungry everyday
795 million - go hungry everyday
2 billion - lack proper nutrition
Note: the problem lies with the rich, not with the poor
Majority of food produced go to the rich countries who can afford
33% of food produced either get lost or wasted
rich people eat more meat; more meat more grain to produce and more water consumed
more meat more grain to produce and more water consumed
1 KG or beef = 16,000 litres of water
Global Warming

Effects on Food Production
Reduced yields.
The productivity of crops and livestock, including milk yields, may decline because of high temperatures and drought-related stress.
Increased irrigation.
Regions of the world that now depend on rain-fed agriculture may require irrigation, bringing higher costs and conflict over access to water.
Planting and harvesting changes.
Shifting seasonal rainfall patterns and more severe precipitation events—and related flooding—may delay planting and harvesting.
Decreased arability.
Prime growing temperatures may shift to higher latitudes, where soil and nutrients may not be as suitable for producing crops, leaving lower-latitude areas less productive.
More pests.
Insect and plant pests may survive or even reproduce more often each year if cold winters no longer keep them in check.
New pests may also invade each region as temperature and humidity conditions change.
Lower-latitude pests may move to higher latitudes, for example.
Risks to fisheries.
Shifts in the abundance and types of fish and other seafood may hurt commercial fisheries, while warmer waters may pose threats to human consumption, such as increasing the risk of infectious diseases.
Extreme ocean temperatures and ocean acidification place coral reefs-—the foundations of many of the world's fisheries-—at risk.
Pollution

Effects of Pollution
Air pollution - smogs in major cities;
Water pollution - plastics in the ocean;
water pollution -
Crude Oil Consumption
World - 34 billion barrels per year
Top 10 countries - 20.8 billion barrels per year
1.688 trillion barrels in reserve
53 years to last
The earth is groaning in pain
God subjected creation to futility
Romans 8.
God cursed the ground for Adam
Romans 3.17-18
Noah’s generation felt the curse in their time
man became dependent on the earth for survival - this is abuse
man learned exploited the earth’s resources to satisfy not only his needs, but also his sinful imagination
Noah’s generation felt the curse in their time
Genesis 5.2
God placed the future of the earth in the hands of fallen man, knowing what will happen to his creation.
man became dependent on the earth for survival - this is abuse
food
shelter
clothing
man exploited the earth’s resources to satisfy not only his needs, but also his sinful imagination
devices - in KJV, inventions
wooden tools
iron tools
precious minerals and stones
As it was in the days of Noah
Genesis 6.13
Noah’s generation destroyed the earth
