The earth burns. Places become uninhabitable. Crops die. Livestock dies. People die. Mass migration. Changes in airstreams. Floods. Forest fires. Heatwaves. Coral bleaching. Ice melting. Sea levels rising.
It’s OK. It’s not happening.
As the world population soars towards a projected 10 Billion.
As the world’s mammals have been decimated to 44% of what they were 40 years ago!
As the world’s invertebrate population has crashed by nearly half in the last forty years!
As the elephant and lion now join the tiger, rhino and jaguar on the endangered list!
Are we approaching a day when the natural world will be nothing more than a footnote in the history books?
Will we be showing our children and grandchildren the remnants of our wild-life in zoos?
Will we be pollinating our flowers by hand?
Does anybody actually care?
You can read about my own observations and feelings about this in my book:
Please give it a read and pass it round to all your friends. It is time we did something about it. We can alter the zeitgeist!
Animals Burn
While animals fry and fires burn
The perpetrators never seem to learn.
Lands flood and other lands dry
But some people never ask why.
So, profits are made and trees fall
And they do not care at all.
The lies are spread in a cynical way
And the future looks decidedly grey.
Green laws are repealed,
The truth concealed,
Money stashed,
Habitats crashed.
Time for the great backlash!!
OUR PLANET IS WORTH MORE THAN HARD CASH!!!

I wrote in response to seeing the thousands of poor animals fried alive by the massive bush fires in Australia. The highways were littered with the carcasses of dead animals as they desperately tried to flee the flames. They were cook alive.
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!

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

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.

Tory zeros. The only zeros they care about are the zeros at the end of a cheque!
The bollocks they talk! It’s all Orwellian double-think.

Now we are beginning to see the utterly predictable terrible effects of climate change are you still in denial? Do you still think it’s a conspiracy?
So far we’ve had:
Record temperature heatwaves destroying crops and making huge areas of the world uninhabitable
Massive flooding swamping whole countries
Droughts killing people, wildlife and drying up crops causing mass starvation
Devastating bush fires destroying huge swathes of forest, decimating wildlife and burning homes
Melting glaciers and rising sea levels
Some alterations in sea currents and air currents.
This is only the beginning. As this progresses there will be mass migration as people move from areas that are no longer habitable. Sea level rises will put cities and much farming land under threat. Droughts will hit harvests creating food shortages and starvation. Wildlife will be threatened. There will be water shortages, food shortages and probably wars.
If the ocean currents alter that will cause immense differences. For instance, in Britain, if the gulf stream is deflected or halts we can look forward to Siberian winters with temperatures down to minus twenty or minus thirty degrees.
If the airstreams are altered we could see major changes to seasons and weather patterns.
All this has been modelled, predicted and is following the patterns expected except that it is proceeding at a faster pace than was thought.
In the midst of this man-made catastrophe where the whole world should be doing everything in their power to stop putting out more carbon dioxide, to try to halt and reverse this disaster, we have the populist fools such as the American Republicans wanting to make money by using more oil and gas, idiots like Bolsonaro burning down the Amazon forest to make money, imbeciles like Putin waging war that is burning up petrol and going to require major reconstruction and also burning off huge amounts of gas instead of shipping it to Europe and China using coal, oil and gas in massive amounts to gain world domination.
Madness rules!!
This graph clearly shows what is happening. The extreme heat, flooding, bush fires, glacial melt, rise in sea levels, extreme weather, droughts and species migration are all part of the same thing – we are changing the world’s climate. It is getting hotter. The effect on crops is not good. Soon whole regions will be uninhabitable. The mass migration, fight for water and loss of crops could well be catastrophic. This is an existential crisis.
The sooner people wake up to the truth and stop believing the propaganda put out by cynical politicians and those with vested interests, the better!!
Shifting – Change comes
Shifting air currents,
Later rains,
Drier vegetation,
More fire.
Change comes.
Fossil fuels,
Mass pollution,
Tropical storms
Hurricanes
Change comes.

We are reaping the results of three hundred years of abuse.
Our numbers are a bacterial scum rotting everything we touch.
The oceans and forests are not infinite.
We are tipping the balance.
Change is coming.
WE will not like it – not one bit.
Biblical floods, fire, plagues, drought, famine, migrations and desperation.
Change comes.
We are responsible.
