Truth be told, god will not take any action to rectify global warming. The warranty on Earth has expired. Since god is a colossal tightwad, god will not spring for the warranty extension.

This is of course abject nonsense on multiple levels. It consigns the scientific consensus to the role of a conspiracy theory -- dubious at best, pernicious at worst. I have met some Christians who us the term "stewards of the earth" to describe themselves, and that is good. There's also Operation Noah and similar groups of nominally theistic climate activists, and that too is good. Most theists however, IMO, be like when it comes to uncomfortable truths (such as that theism has zero evidence going for it and is flatly refuted by oh so much evidence, or that the Climate Crisis is our responsibility to tackle, for example) and they'll just do an easy as pie bit of mental gymnastics, call climate change "God's business" in one guise or another and hop cheerily onto the next trans-pacific flight to visit the relatives for a pleasant holiday they don't even need at all. I'm so supportive of the idea of Operation Noah I might even fake belief in order to help promote it...perhaps there is SOME hope after-all, with decent theists like them lot around.

Here's what God has said, man would destroy this earth if He doesn't cut time short to prevent it from happening. So no He is not going to rectify what man will do be it global warming, nuclear war or what ever it will be, God will cut time short to prevent man from destroying what He has already promised He will do. Sober up and consider this, man has gained enough power to destroy one little planet even if it's by not taking care of the earth, God on the other hand will as He promised destroy the entire creation and then create the new universe. Why not consider what God has already done so that humans can avoid living an eternal life condemned and instead live in an uncorruptible universe.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

"Whatever you pray for shall be granted." The hidden caveat there might be "Whatever a good and true Christian prays for..."
Given the above there has never been a good and true Christian who gave a fuck about disease, war, etc., or couldn't be arsed to give five minutes to asking God to change his Great Plan and eliminated that shit.

People can pray all they like for whatever they desire, it will do no good. What will do good is science, combatting the causes of global warming and finding alternative less or non-pollutant soutions to the problems we have at the minute.
