The Carbon/sugar High???

a: Carbon dioxide ~
b: sugar for the planet

What: "Carbon dioxide is like sugar for the planet - it boosts plant growth and makes the climate warmer - and observations show that our emissions are having a dangerous effect. In any case, our environmental problems extend far beyond global warming, and there are many reasons to reduce our impact on the planet. The realization that we are out of our depth may open the way to a more immediate and direct response. As I discuss in the book, mathematical models are powerful and essential tools in many areas of science, and they help us understand complex systems like the weather, the economy, or our own bodies. But we shouldn't rely on them to predict the future."

a: Water heater ~
b: the Holy Spirit

What:

"God's grace is the hand which adjusts the switch. It is up to you whether you cooperate and allow the switch to be turned to "max heat". The water heater is like the Holy Spirit, firing us up with the love of God. If we don't cooperate with grace and allow our switches to be moved accordingly, we won't become fired up! If we close ourselves off to God and His love, we will simply be cold water on a winter morning. No one really likes cold showers in the winter! "
