GLOBAL WARMING: Some thoughts about human induced climate change

	Palm trees in Tokyo
	More and more glaciers bare

	Tail pipes spew out toxic wastes
	Jet planes speed through air

	Shorelines rise inch by inch
	Ice caps shrink in size

	Disease demographics shift
	Mosquitoes & cockroaches thrive

	Thermometers break records
	as blood drips on barbed wires

	Welcome to Kentucky Fried McEarth –
	where thangs are spicy, hot, and stuck in over-drive!

	Welcome to a flaming nightmare
	created by fantasies you (and billions more) desire . . .

	Fantasies propelling the world's economy
	Fantasies shouting, "buy! buy!"
	as our planet replies, "bye bye!"


Jules:   Amazing: some people still deny that global warming is happening.

Elijah:  (nodding) . . . or blame it on factors unrelated to human activity.

Andrei:  Our capacity for denial is deep-seated, especially when powerful economic interests are involved.

Philyra: The denial runs too deep. A wake-up call is due.
