Yes, as all life thrived during that period.

So am I wrong in getting from Scripture regarding the future of the world that climate change”change” will not play a large role before the New Jerusalem from heaven comes down?

According to George and other preterists, we are already living in the New Jerusalem. :)

I don't think Scripture speaks to this one way or another.

1. Are we discussing the topic? Good.
2. Are we going around and around in a fight? Let's stop doing that.
3. Is there some serious wrongdoing or relational injury? Let's address that, probably not in public and certainly not for show.

I don’t think it will. I believe Jesus will return before any lasting human impact on the climate will make the smallest difference. There’s a lot more danger to us than the climate changing. Getting distracted from walking with Jesus is the biggest one.

I tend to agree with you, although if taken very figuratively some of the imagery in Revelation could be describing a world messed up by humans. Stars falling from the sky, poisoned rivers, creatures of the sea dying, etc.

I agree with this guy. Any summer day with clouds will back him up. And that’s without any fancy math or someone trying to make money off of climate change.
