Global warming has the potential for long term devastating effects on nature.  However, could nature be making its own plans for self-healing?

I can't help but think that over time, all living things will eventually work out any possible problem, including evomorphing humans into a compassionate species with wisdom.  The purpose of creating humans -- the hairless apes --  as an "intelligent" species, was to interact with the environment in ways that could best be described as anabolic functions. That is, we have the intelligence to protect the environment, and when we know, or even suspect there is a problem, then we would interact in ways that are beneficial.  Unfortunately, at this relatively early stage of our mental development, we are quite catabolic in our functioning.  (evomorphing is evolution + metamorphosis)

Most assuredly, humans were not created to destroy living things, and, yet, that seems to be our main goal on a daily basis.  The news depicts what destruction we have done each day.  What if we change?  What if we actually begin to function for our real purpose, to fulfill the np Code:  the Manifest Destiny of Humankind, to be caregivers of all living things, and to protect the environment.

In the interim, nature is not going to wait for humans to slowly evomorph, but rather, is taking anabolic steps in attempts to heal at least some parts of the earth damaged by the over-populated infestation of hairless apes. (We have not evolved from apes, we are the distinct species of hairless apes. We are the only ones who think we are human, the birds sit up on the telephone poles and laugh at us. Look up, they are laughing.  We are in denial because we are, in fact, just as much a part of the wild animals as any living thing can possibly be. We are the most dangerous of all the species. What level of danger is the wild mountain lion with teeth and claws compared to a nuclear weapon? (Well, that's another story . . . Back to the green mountain issue.)

Is it possible for Arizona to turn into a lush emerald green paradise?

My first supposition of the possible effects of global warming on the desert, would be that it would grow hotter.  But, I now believe that the effect is quite assuredly a cooler desert with increasing rain, and, therefore, more potential for vegetation to take a strong stand over increasingly longer periods of time, particularly with the accumulation of water under the ground to sustain them during the hotter, dryer summer.  Plants, themselves, growing in large numbers, affect the environment, and give off gases that encourage the development of clouds to support them with rain.

Well, it is a nice thought, at least, that there could be some benefits struggling to establish a domain in the midst of the global warming threat.  The anabolic function of living things will find a way to survive. With the unique ability to function with wisdom, the human species has the potential to dramatically speed up beneficial anabolic functions.  Global warming has given us the opportunity to become aware of our powerful ability to affect the environment in either beneficial or destructive ways, and to realize that we have a choice:  to selfishly live in the present or to live in the present with wisdom while at the same time protecting the future.

There is nothing special about humans, because, just as any species, if we fail to survive, we will become extinct. It is written in the laws of physics. We are the only species that thinks the entire universe evolves around us. Let's awaken and achieve the proper perspective of who we really are, and why we were created.

Here are some interesting photos of the mountains in Arizona.  While they may look dry to you, within just a few months, they actually are a lot more green and lumpier looking which indicates new vegetation.

Some of the photos below show snow still present after several days, which maintains a moist environment conducive to maintaining greenery.

Further, if you compare the Arizona Mountain photos below with the Hawaii Mountain photos during the hot summer time, there is a striking similarity.  In the Silent News Reel, the first and second photos show the dry, powdery Diamond Head Mountain in Hawaii on September 20, 2008, seemingly void of any life, and the succeeding photos of December 24, 2008, show how it turned lush green with vegetation.
