These ayaat come to mind regarding this issue:
18:7-8
{ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى ٱلأَرْضِ زِينَةً لَّهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ أَيُّهُم أَحْسَنُ عَمَلاً }
Truly We have made all that is on the earth, in the way of animals, plants, trees, rivers and so on, as an adornment for it, that We may try them, that We may test mankind observing thereby, which of them is best in conduct, therein, that is, [to see which of them] is the most abstemious of it.
{ وَإِنَّا لَجَاعِلُونَ مَا عَلَيْهَا صَعِيداً جُرُزاً }
And indeed We shall turn all that is therein into barren shreds, that produce no plants.
Another issue which comes to mind is the saying from shaykh Abdul Qadir al Jilani (rh) (paraphrased and translated): Allah made knowledge one and Man broke it into categories.
In the industrial and postindustrial eras, Man excelled at compartmentalizing knowledge into sciences, but because the kufar took the lead at this and engaged in secularization, they lacked foresight and enlightened, comprehensive perception and comprehension. They lacked a unifying viewpoint and doctrine which connected ecology to mechanical engineering to astro physics to microbiology. Thus, they went about blindly.
Global Warming is a result of the leadership of mankind being in the hands of the kufar.
They declared secularism and therey empowered Man to invent and devise his own system of life without consideration of the Hereafter. This also reflected in the lack of farsight for just a few generations into their future too. Secularized "Muslims" have followed them willingly in every Muslim country.
So they concocted CAPITALISM as the economic system for Man. And since the end of the Cold War, it has propagated and encompassed the entire world, including the Muslim world which attempted to resist it, as well as Socialist countries. It is only recently that Western powers have began to figure the ecological impact of capitalism implemented globally. Global Warming is the foremost adverse result of it. But is it too late?
Will Allah (SWT) render the entire planet a barren wasteland as a result of liberalized global capitalism as the above ayaat seem to suggest?
At least until the Gog wa Magog are destroyed and a balance is restored as the ahadith prophecize?
"What is Islam's take on Global Warming?"
It's a byproduct of the global economic system of capitalism which is manmade and therefore prone to all of the shortcomings of Man (prejudice, difference, ignorance, and thus, unacceptable for producing a harmonious relation between Man and the world and universe.
End capitalism and the global reign of kufr manmade systems.
Suratul Saff 61:9
{ هُوَ ٱلَّذِيۤ أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ ٱلْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى ٱلدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ }
It is He Who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the "deen" of truth, that He may make it prevail, that He may raise it, over all [other] "deen"s, [over] all the "deens" which oppose it, though the disbelievers be averse, to this.
And this can only be established by adhering to the methodology of the Prophet (saaw) and the khulafa rashidoon, as he (saw) prophecized would occur in the unknown future.
