Many fear tactics, like the threat of global flooding due to the melting polar ice caps, are used today in an effort to persuade humans to take better care of the earth. We *should* be good stewards of the earth, but God’s promise in Genesis 8:22 makes it clear that such fear tactics are completely invalid.
