Can anyone explain this to me?  Found on the wall of an Evangelical church building site, this poster reads "Global Warning: The Son Will Return"

Now, is it merely apocalyptic froth of the regular sort?

Or is it a suggestion that climate change is, in fact, punishment for Man's sinful ways?

Or is it saying that Jesus is coming, so stop with the recycled hemp light-bulbs and get with the prayin', hippies! 

(This particular approach to environmentalism, that we'll be Raptured before it all falls apart and Jay-sus wants you to drive that SUV, is particularly morally repellent)

And is it really suggesting that solar forcing is the primary reason for climate change, or am I reading too much into a crappy pun?

I don't understand evangelists.

Climate change is a punishment for our sinful names, as brought to you by the medium of bad puns. With the subtext that we need to be doing stuff now before the second coming arrives.

"sinful names" woah. Not sure what happened there but I like it ;) I meant to put "sinful ways" of course.
