A "heat dome" has settled over the southwestern U.S. and forecasters have issued excessive heat warnings to: California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and Utah as temps in some areas approach 120 degrees.
"We are seeing heat and drought in the Southwest United States like we haven't seen since the Dust Bowl of the 1930s," said Michael Snyder, author of Living a Life That Matters.
Meanwhile, wildfires created "a biblical disaster" in Greece that has killed at least 74 people, destroyed over 1,000 homes and injured more than 150 victims, as wind-driven forest fires turned the skies over Athens "Apocalyptic" orange from the smoke, reports the UK Edition of The Sun.
And then there's Japan. "The country logged its highest-ever temperature at 106 degrees, near Tokyo on Monday afternoon," according to Japan's Kyoto news agency. The blistering heat has claimed 40 lives and left an estimated 10,000 people hospitalized across Japan, with no end in sight.
And that ain't all, folks. The New York Daily Intelligence reports, "A global heat wave is in progress, and in Sweden, the Arctic Circle is on fire."
The list of areas experiencing extreme temperatures keeps going: An Algerian city earlier this month broke the record for the highest temperature ever in Africa when it hit 124.3 degrees. A city in Oman recorded the highest low temperature--109 degrees-- ever recorded on Earth. In Quebec, more than 90 people were killed by extreme heat, while experts warn South Asia may soon become "too hot for humans to survive."

According to Christian website, Got Questions, "Global warming 'facts' are notoriously hard to come by. One of the few facts universally agreed upon is that the current average temperature of Earth is indeed rising at this time." The Big Question? What's causing it?
GotQuestions.org provides 12 fascinating bullets points regarding these "facts". https://www.gotquestions.org/global-warming.html
So does the Bible predict global warming? Yup--but not in the way you're probably thinking. The Bible predicts a very sudden and extreme form of global warming the world has never (and we mean never seen before).
"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up." 2 Peter 3:10
A wise man once said: "The Day of the Lord will have a surprise arrival, sudden, unexpected, and disastrous to the unprepared." -- John MacArthur, Grace To You
"He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!" Revelation 22:20
