Greenhouse gases play a crucial role in regulating Earth's temperature. The increase in human-induced emissions of gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide is leading to a heightened greenhouse effect, contributing to global warming. Techniques like carbon capture and sequestration can help mitigate these emissions, but concerted efforts are required to combat the impact of greenhouse gases on climate change.

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit. Put the spirits to the test to see if they belong to God. Many false prophets have gone out into the world. How can you recognize the Spirit of God? Every spirit that agrees that Jesus Christ came in a human body belongs to God. But every spirit that doesn't agree with this does not belong to God. ~I John 4:1-4 NLT
Christianity rejects the premise that the material cannot be spiritual.
We are saved not just as souls, but as wholes!
And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. ~Romans 8:23 NLT
We believe in a life after life-after-death.
But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same mighty power that he will use to conquer everything everywhere. ~Philippians 3:20-21
The real heaven is a corporeal heaven!
Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. Against its will, all creation was subjected to God s curse. But with eager hope, the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. ~Romans 8:19-22 NLT
God will not abandon His creation, but transform it.
Until then... We cope in this current age by groaning and leaning.
While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit. ~2 Corinthians 5:4-5 NLT
