As he was making his
rounds with the tray, he came upon a cluster of guests gathered round Jim
Faraday and a man with a booming voice and a paunch to match. “Make no
mistake,” the man was saying. “Global warming is God’s punishment for
mankind.” Jasper recognized Robert
Smith, a stockier version of the Bob they used to bait in college. “Pride, envy
and lust in our souls are destroying the world.”
“Do you mean to
say that making out with your girlfriend is causing global warming?” Jim said.
“I mean that
pride, envy and lust are causing God’s anger. Global warming is a sign of God’s
anger.”
“They used to
say that about the plague,” Jim said. “If you are right, we haven’t progressed
very far.”
