I found this poem while searching for poetry related to Global Warming and I found it quite interesting. What was different in this poem to all the poems I read before was the fact that he pointed out that even though we may change our lifestyle it won't really have an impact on Global Warming. He addresses the most important question of all. Is it too late to save the human race?
Global warming?
The Environmentalists believe in evolution
Yet refuse to believe
The planet is evolving
Yes there is climate change
Yes there is global warming
But leaving the car at home won't stop it
Weather patterns are cyclical
And we are still coming out of an ice age
And therefore the global thermometer is rising
We are evolving as we have many times before
Britain has been desert, oasis
Ocean and tundra in its history
Long before man came on to the scene
What arrogance to think
We have so much influence on something so vast and complex
Our planet will continue
To evolve as it did before we arrived
Long after we are but a distant memory
The whole issue is being used by the cheese cloth and sandal brigade to intimidate people into changing there lifestyles
This will have no effect on the global climate whatsoever
- Paul Curtis
I feel that this poem may seem a bit biased at times but I think everything he says is the truth. Scientist and Environmentalist likes believing that there is still hope and if we all make a change we can save ourselves? but is it true? or like this poem said, is it too late?
