Tell Me Lies About Global Warming

Tell Me Lies About Global Warming,

                About how it’s just temporary weather,

                                Nothing alarming.

It’s not due to us.

                The carbon dioxide

                                Is not harming.

Tell me something calming.

I don’t want to hear about forest fires

                About terrible floods

Or the droughts, dying crops and funeral pyres.

I don’t want to think about mass migration,

                Heat stroke, livestock deaths

Or the effects on our nation.

Tell Me Lies About Global Warming,

                About how it’s just temporary weather,

                                Nothing alarming.

It’s not due to us

                The carbon dioxide

                                Is not harming.

Tell me something calming.

I don’t want to hear about existential threats,

                Sea levels rising,

Or increasing debts.

I don’t want to invest in Green energy

The scientists are lying.

It won’t affect me!

Tell me something calming.

I don’t want to hear about explosive heat

                Parched ground

Or the melting ice sheet.

I don’t want to think about dying forests,

Burning creatures,

Or the ends we might meet.

All this Green drive is just a big con

To make money out of us when

There’s nothing wrong.

The world goes in cycles

It’ll rectify itself soon

Then they’ll be singing a different tune.

Greenhouse gasses and deforestation

Have nothing to do with our own nation.

Population size is a red herring so they can push it.

They just make it all up to gain more profit.

Scientists are bought and politicians lie –

But there’s a strange heat coming out of the sky.

So tell Me Lies About Global Warming,

                About how it’s just temporary weather,

                                Nothing alarming.

It’s not due to us

                The carbon dioxide

                                Is not harming.

Tell me something calming.

They’d rather believe Trump who was busy lining his pockets with billions – the biggest con artist on the planet.

They’d rather believe the internet and propaganda put out by the oil, gas and coal industry than experts who have spent their life studying the climate.

They know that all the scientists are bought by the green industries. They know that the whole green industry is a con to make money out of us.

There will be no catastrophic sea level rises, no extreme heat and drought, no mass crop failures making countries uninhabitable, driving billions out.

The greenhouse effect is good. We could do with a bit more warmth. It won’t affect local weather. It won’t shift sea and air currents. Glaciers aren’t melting. The world is not heating.

Poetry – Deserts – A poem for nature.

Deserts

I was travelling back from London on the train, belting past field after field of stubble. The harvest was in.

The only things moving were the odd crows and pigeons.

This was England. Where once used to stretch unbroken, dense forest, rustling to the sounds of insects, trilling to bird call, and providing food for deer, wild boar, bear and wolf, there is now a monocultural desert.

We have systematically cleared the forest to farm the land. The animals were cleared with it. We left tiny oasis of wasteland, woods, hedges and ponds in which the remnants of the rich fauna hung on – rabbits, hare, hedgehogs, newts, lizards, slow-worm, grass snake, dormouse and linnet.

Now they are being cleared. The modern farm equipment has no use for hedge or pond – the bigger the field the better.

Anything that dares to intrude into the desert we create is eliminated with pesticide, herbicide and machine. We don’t need them. They get their just deserts.

Deserts

Travelling through deserts

Filled with lifelessness –

Devoid of anything,

Even pity.

 

All that moves

Is the enemy

To be eradicated

With alacrity

 

Big or small

Feather or fin

There’s no room at the inn.

 

Hedge and pond

Bush and tree

Ripped out

In monocultural crime

Megafauna,

Microfauna,

Weed and seed,

All past their prime.
