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.

“They used to say that about the plague,” Jim said. “If you are right, we haven’t progressed very far.”
