I’m so honored that Stephen Jurovics, author of Hospitable Planet: Faith, Action, and Climate Change, has contributed a thought-provoking post about Seasons and Climate Change, which you will find in the Gateway of Seasons. The Torah’s message of a spiritual connection to our earth, and our own imperative of survival require us to be guardians of our planet.
I feel the same way about streams & rivers as arteries all flowing together to keep our Earth & us alive. What astonishes me are the folks that deny that there is anything wrong with our Planet & global warming is a hoax. That is like saying pollution is a hoax. Can people be so blind? I beg people who feel this way to go & try to live in Beijing China & breath their air for a day with-out any breathing protection, good luck!!!
Indeed, pollution is clearly not a hoax when you try and breath in Beijing, and climate change is not a hoax when you witness the sea water on the streets of Miami Beach. It’s also not a hoax for the Trump organization that applied for a permit to build a seawall to protect its golf resort in Ireland from the effects of erosion, sea level rise, and climate change.
