Head for the hills

Head for the hills

we have ‘Runaway’

sell that beachfront house

if you live in-land

lag that house

Each of the last five years has been hotter

last year by .94C

burn what you like – solar, vegoil – wood!

but best leave hydro carbons in the ground

mother nature

clearly can’t take much more being burnt

The devil and the deep blue sea

Life may be tolerable

if we warm our world 1.5 degrees C

at 2 degrees that’s unlikely

To keep below 2C

will mean all that coal and oil

will need to be left in the ground

and that will cause a financial crisis

eight times bigger than the last

Financial ruin versus planet ruin

the suits versus the greenies

it’s our choice

suspect Homo sapiens is leaning towards the suits

for whatever the individuals’ reasons

will the wise one day steer us back to a happy medium?

or are we stuck

between that devil the dollar

and the gradually deepening deep blue sea?
