Major changes are happening to our planet, and the experts are groping for answers. In recent days some have suggested that what we are witnessing is the natural progression of “man-made climate change”, but that explanation has generally been received with a lot of skepticism. Something truly dramatic appears to be happening to the globe, and it isn’t just because the amount of carbon dioxide in the air suddenly reached some sort of magical “tipping point”. But without a doubt, temperatures are getting warmer. In July, Death Valley experienced “the hottest month ever recorded on the planet”. Over in Europe, Saturday was being billed as Europe’s “hottest day ever”, and temperatures in Lisbon, Portugal were expected to top 107 degreesboth Saturday and Sunday. On the other side of the planet, the crippling drought in Australia is devastating farms “like a cancer”, and things are so hot in North Korea that the government has declared “an unprecedented natural disaster”… This week, the North Korean government called record-high temperatures in the country “an unprecedented natural disaster” and said that country was working together to fight the problem.In California, extreme heat and bone dry conditions continue to fuel some of the worst wildfires in the history of the state… Crews battling deadly Northern California wildfires prepare for another day of hot and dry conditions that could drive the flames into new areas and threaten more homes.Ultimately, this may turn out to be the worst year for wildfires that California has ever seen. Of course there have been bad years for wildfires before. But what we haven’t seen before are “firenadoes” that pack 143 mph winds… On Thursday, NWS researcher combed through the wreckage left behind and determined a fire whirl — commonly known as a fire tornado — roared through the area between 7:30 p.m and 8 p.m. on July 26th.When I first heard about this fire tornado, I was absolutely stunned. I had never heard of a fire tornado anywhere near that size in the United States, and apparently the experts hadn’t either… “This is historic in the U.S.,” Craig Clements, director of San Jose State University’s Fire Weather Research Laboratory, told BuzzFeed News. “This might be the strongest fire-induced tornado-like circulation ever recorded.”Elsewhere in the Southwest, drought continues to intensify, and this is starting to produce absolutely enormous dust storms. For example, check out what just happened to the city of Phoenix… A huge wall of dust enveloped the Phoenix metro area on Thursday in the second monsoon storm in a four-day span.Certainly a dust storm is less destructive than a “fire tornado” in the short-term, but as we saw in the 1930s, a consistent pattern of giant dust storms can absolutely cripple a nation. And let us not forget all of the shaking that has been happening to the crust of our planet. On Sunday, Indonesia was shaken by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake… So why is all of this happening? Yes, the amount of carbon dioxide in the air is increasing, and it has been increasing for a very long time. Ultimately, the amount that humans contribute to the overall level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is marginal, and even if we took the most extreme measures possible there is very little that we could do to significantly affect the balance. And scientists assure us that our planet once had much, much higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the air then we do today, and our planet appeared to have thrived under those conditions. But the narrative won’t change. The mainstream media will continue to tell us that the Earth changes that we are witnessing are due to global warming and that if we reverse course that we can go back to how things were before. No, we can’t go back, because the changes that are happening are way outside of our control. Fundamental changes are happening to our planet, and this is just the beginning. For now these Earth changes are a minor nuisance to a lot of people, but pretty soon nobody will be able to ignore them.

"We really wanted to explore how Billy Graham understood and interpreted the Bible and then how
that shaped his ministry," explained Anthony Schmidt, an associate curator at the Museum of the Bible
and the exhibit's designer. "But then we wanted people to better understand culturally how he shaped
post-war America in terms of his use of the media and the reach that he had around the globe."

It was when he was a little boy watching television with his parents that Schmidt first recalls seeing
Graham. Then in college, he attended the evangelist's last crusade before retiring. The museum
contains the pulpit used from that New York City revival in 2005 in addition to one from one of his
first crusades.

As overseer of the exhibit, Schmidt has helped to collect more than a hundred of Graham's books,
Bibles, and other personal belongings, which display the "pilgrim preacher's" journey from a boy born
in Charlotte, North Carolina to a man who reached millions around the world.

From now until January 2019, the exhibit shows never-before-seen items on loan from the

personal inscription he wrote in his father's Bible. There's even a pair of war-issue military boots that
he wore during a trip to Korea in 1952 in sub-zero temperatures.
