Worries and Arguments

I had an argument with someone today. On the way to meet them I was worried about the flowers. I am worried about all the plants that cannot figure out what season it is. I am worried that when it comes time to harvest food, so many fruit trees and other veegtation all species depend upon for food will be so confused that the plants will give up and die. I am worried that the remaining fruit trees will nott have sufficeint bees and bats to polinate themselves to fruit.

When I met my friend, I asked them whaht they thought of global warming. A religious person, this person replied that God had a greater plan and would take care of it all. Meanwhile, they wish environmentalists would stay out of the way of people who want Hummers. Our argument was over what God has in mind.

My argument was with myself, because I felt angry and intolerant of that point of view. When I came home, I noticed a recent post on Climate Crisis Coalition: Rabbi Warren G. Stone, PlanetSave.com, January 2, 2007 wrote, "An ancient Jewish midrash teaches that when God took Adam around the Garden of Eden and showed him its magnificence and splendor, God spoke to him saying, 'If you destroy it, there is no one else besides you!'

That is sort of like, Colin Powell's, "you broke it, you own it.'

What gets me angry is the complacency of those who break it and walk away, leavig others to pick up the pieces- whether those others are God or someone else. And mostly, it is someone else. My wrry is over whther there are enuf of us out here cleaning up the mess.
