Global Warming: Real or Myth

[ photo source: zmescience.com ]

Extreme weather has become the new normal

But for a layman's point of view, it's paranormal

All across the land we suffer from Poseidon's wrath

Yet we ignore his warnings, and act like a spoiled brat

Make no mistake about global warming-- 

Science has given us unequivocal warning

It's for real--and happening faster than ever

Work on solutions; otherwise, it's now or never

The deep blue seas are beginning to rise
from the polar regions due to melting ice;
caused by the hotter sun and earth's reflectiveness,
as well as greenhouse gases from human activities

Human activities - burning of fossil fuels: coal and oil

Continuous actions causing greenhouse effect more severe

A few have attempted to raise awareness but failed to foil

Increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere

Makes the earth warmer causing erratic climate change

Deforestation for agriculture and community development

Threatens the biological diversity of the world that's why I lament

Together with half of all plant and animal species in the forests

Who would protect our unique ecosystems if we lay down to rest?

Increase in famines, earthquakes and other natural disasters:

              scorching wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes and record floods

The list could go on and on... as long and frequent as it gets

Are these signs of the end times as written by St. Matthew?

We know a whole lot more, we just pretend to ignore

"Warning: we are not to be deceived

These events are only the beginning of birth pains;

The end is still to come..."
