Do We Have A Climate Crisis?
Dr. Heinz Lycklama
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) claims that Global Warming (GW) is occurring at a rapid rate, that GW is largely due to the increased burning of fossil fuel, and that we face dire consequences if we don’t cut back on CO2 being released into the atmosphere. The independent Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change(NIPCC) has concluded that Nature, not Human Activity, rules the Climate. More recently the CO2 Coalition has focused on the important contribution made by CO2 to our lives and the economy. We have identified many reasons how and why the GW claims made by the alarmists are not substantiated by the evidence, and that CO2 cannot possibly drive GW. GW alarmism is not supported by the facts and is not warranted. – Gen. 8:22, While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.

Creation Encounter Field Trips
Design Science Association hosts field trips through Creation Encounter. Our purpose is to provide quality creation field study, tours, road guides, and other information glorifying God as Creator. We also conduct special field trips for local pastor groups, and offer "tailor-made" creation programs for various organizations. Our mission is to help believers defend the reliability of the Bible and to support the church in fulfilling its Great Commission.
