GLOBAL WARMING: Some thoughts about human induced climate change

	Palm trees in Tokyo
	Slopes of Mt. Blanc bare

	Tail pipes spewing out toxic wastes
	Jet planes speeding through air

	Shorelines rising inch by inch
	Ice caps shrinking in size

	Disease demographics shifting
	Mosquitoes & cockroaches thrive

	As thermometers break records
	blood drips on barbed wires

	Welcome ta Kentucky Fried McEarth –
	whare thangs ere spicy, hot, 'n
	stuck in over-drive!

	Welcome ta ah flamin' nightmare –
	kreated by fantasies you (& bill-
	ions more) desire . . .

	Fantasies with price tags
	propelling the world's economy

	Fantasies shouting, "bye! bye!"
	to our Earth as we
	buy, buy, buy!

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

Elijah:  . . . 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.
