Floods everywhere
Shelter nowhere
Planes rerouted
Trees uprooted
Water everywhere
Not a drop to drink
Not once somewhere
To pause and think
Bear the brunt
Of fury of nature
Rain forests burnt
In state of stupor
Deny the cause
Await the pause
Clean energy to invest
Good policies to digest
All the warnings to ignore
Denying the science in uproar
Act now when it's possible
Or repent later when impossible

Seems so easy to think about and tell ourselves its right to make serious changes for our planet, our home. Easy until we step outside into our polluting motor cars and visit the supermarket to buy non biodegradeable plastic packaged goods.
I am as guilty as anyone so cannot point a finger but i try in my guilty small ways to make a difference to the HUGE issue you describe today.
We need plenty of reminders such as your good words today.
Thank you
Couldn't agree more, subregi. Makes me sick at the complacency apparent among those in power. and the rest of us who keep them there.
Many countries still invest in fossil fuel when cleaner cheaper options exist!
Yes - the one I live in especially. A very neat summary of the whole damn thing, BTW.
