Here's something:
I read an article in CRISIS magazine about global warming. The writer said two things that caught my attention. One, that the globe was actually begining to be warmer in the Middle Ages, and then cooled down; only to be warmer as it approached the present century. Two, the present state of warming seems to have some galactic cause beyond all human control and only something God can deal with. What if in the Middle Ages people began to pray. They were a prayerful bunch for awhile. But then the Reformation and the Enlightenment led people away from so much prayer. Much like the present day when the globe has been heating up. Rather than blaming the burning of CO2's and all, we should pray! That's the answer.
