GLOBAL WARMING
It is THE worry
What our future holds?
For the greed
That has satisfied all our wants so far.
More,
Not content with the required needs
The greed has endangered the globe
As nature repays our past actions.
Soaring, dipping
Temperatures controlling deaths
Tsunami, hurricanes
Leave catastrophes behind
Rains submerging cities
Drought defies the want for want!
Researchers are busy to understand
The nature of nature
As nature declares global warming
Calamities spread its tentacles all around.
Comforts or catastrophes
It is hard to control both now
Learning our lessons way too late
How do we curb our greed?
In the past, to comfort our present
We have endangered our future
Changing faster with each passing day
It is now nature’s time to have the last laugh!

She will laugh last, that's for sure.
Although I agree that the consumption of energy should be reduced, I doubt if the climate change is caused by humanity.
Appearantly it was much warmer around 1200. And from graphs I've seen I get the impression that it may even have been warmer in the 1940s.
It seems to me these politicians and 'scientists' are just trying to sell letters of indulgence in an attempt to squeeze money out of the people. They preach hell and doom to scare us, but if we sacrifice gold to their projects, the cimate gods will surely be pleased?
Still an interesting piece. I'm not to sure about the style, but I like the message that Nature strikes back. |

Yes nature will have the last laugh and there is nothing we hapless little organisms can do about it.

Hi JD,
At the time of great plagues mankind blamed itself for them, saying,"We are evil and God is punishing us". So they flogged themselves in public, but people still died. So they flogged themselves harder.
About 30,000 years ago there was a big melt down. The Polar Caps shrank till they were smaller than they are today and sea level rose 300ft in 50 years. Naughty primitive man it must be all that flint chipping that did it.
Still it is comforting to think that if modern man "whips" himself again, all will be right, I hope this the case.

| I agree with what has been said - and yet, as I look out of my window at the most beautiful scenery that nature has stored through the winter, I find it hard to believe it. |

human worries about what "man" is doing to hasten global warming are irrelevant - what about that darn great ball of fire up in the sky? who controls that? And volcanoes, that belch out carbon dioxide and monoxide all day 24/7/365?
A lot of the global warming discussion is tripe - a waste of words. Sure, be frugal with energy, and resources - but because many of them are finite, not because our puny contribution does anything serious to "warm the planet". |

Interesting thoughts Johnny. Who knows what to believe about global warming. If the doomsayers are right, it seems we (humanity) are screwed anyway. I'll happily do my bit recycling and switching off lights etc etc - but I'll still want to be sitting on a plane on the way to a lovely hot beach somewhere in the south of Europe in three months time.
It seems you've hit on a good subject Johnny, one or two good ideas too. No-one else seems to have commented on the poetic side of this, so I will. First of all - credit for communicating well in English. However, your verse reads like a notes for an essay.
It is hard to review your poetry fairly as you are writing in a second language.

I guess I'm on board with most opinions on this topic; what about the three previous ice ages that went through their own global warming, as someone mentione.
Well, I think I have the answer; I'll leave mother earth for an unspoiled planet, space travel will be affordable within most of our lifetimes, I'm sure.
I plan to go to another planet when this one gets too far gone; I"ll load up my SUV, fill up some spare gas cans, and drive off into space and open a filling station, be the first to provide space tourists with a place to hose off the kids and dog, buy a well-baked weiner, fill up the ole space jelopy and push on to the nether regions in search of that prime black hole for some quiet ......
Oh hell, you get the idea.
