Ultimately, I believe many of the weather anomalies of the past decade or so have had something to do with climate change. I will admit that for me this is a faith position, and I don't have the knowledge/training to prove things one way or another. The thing is, I suspect no one can actually prove climate change is happening or not. What bothers me is that until perhaps very recently it was seemingly categorically dismissed by many faith communities (and for some it still is). I suspect this has more to do with an inherent suspicion/animosity toward science than much else. What's further puzzling is that some of these communities have posited that people's behavior regarding other aspects of their lives have brought on natural disasters. So a link is drawn between human behavior and calamitous weather - but only in terms of God punishing certain behaviors with disasters.
The Bible is a diverse enough collection to maintain several different positions on why bad things happen (to good or all people). But the prevailing opinion - especially in the "Old Testament" is that we reap what we sow. It seems by the thermometer that we're sowing hell.
