It's Thursday, December 14, 2003. I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing, a daily

analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.

Well, it's over and by it I refer to the conference of the parties 28,

formerly known as C. O. P. 28.

The climate change meeting that just took place as an international gathering in

Dubai. It's over. It's over late. That's usual for these events. But it's not over

very late and behind that is a story, but there's an even bigger story just in how the media is trumpeting this.

For example, CNN read a headline yesterday. Here's the headline, quote,

world agrees to climate deal that makes an unprecedented call to move away from fossil fuels, but cavernous loopholes remain.

Now just from a worldview perspective, no pun intended, just consider the headline here, World agrees to climate deal.

Now wait just a minute, tongue in cheek,

I have to ask, what in the world does that mean?

How does the world agree to anything?

Did you agree?

I wasn't called about this.

But nonetheless, the headline is is that the world agrees.

Just think of the astounding nature of that headline, the entire world, untold billions of people,

agreeing on a specific set of climate change proposals and

regulations and agreements that it turns out and here's the bottom line you

probably expected don't really bind anyone to anything but everyone left happy congratulating themselves

that they'd done something big.

Not only had they done it, the whole world had done it.
