| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erikson here. The phone number 877-973-7-4-25. Should you wish to be on the program, I'm happy to have you. |
| 0:15.8 | Well, buckle up because I'm going to tell you what I really think. I mean, not that I don't ever do that. I mean, I'm just going to be more blunt sometimes than maybe some of you would prefer. |
| 0:28.4 | I think the world is warming. |
| 0:32.7 | I think it's a natural phenomenon. |
| 0:36.4 | But I also think we have a role to play. There are 7 billion of us |

| 1:23.5 | Natural phenomenon. |
| 1:25.7 | To say there's no such thing as climate change, then you can't really |
| 1:29.7 | understand why there was a lice age. You can't understand why millions of years ago is way |
| 1:37.6 | hotter than now. The world gets hotter. The world gets cooler. Every planet that we know of in the solar system has seen climate change to some degree. |
| 1:48.0 | It's a natural phenomenon for various reasons. But also, there are seven billion of us. We live in ecological balance with everything else on the planet by God's own design, according to Genesis 1. |
| 2:03.6 | Therefore, we can certainly affect the planet and I think we do. I just don't think it's as much as some on the left would have us believe. |
