Portrush road on a hot day
trailer of restaurant used oil drums
and a sign on the back window saying
‘Carbon neutral on used frying oil’
The pilot of a ute in the next door lane shouts
‘Sir! that smells amazing, good on you’
and with a thumbs up and the broadest Australian smile
– he was off…
There’s a chink in hydrocarbon’s armour
a crack in their dam
South Australia now has a renewables pot in her budget
– remember that ‘small’ country – over there
– now with a GNP vying with that of Russia
– which gets enough sun-shine in two hours
– to power the rest of the world for a week
Well if that budget can be a home for a state battery one day
then it might just be behind the solar surge another
For carbon in the air continues to rise
and behind that comes temperature rise
– as night follows day
So that pot might just be our state safety belt
against the things that follow temperature rise
as night follows day

A change is happening
and it needs to soon
if we are to keep our planet
fit to live on
China with her communist muscle & control
is charging on with her solar & wind renewables
G in 2015, y now
z times in A shrt years
While the laws of Commerce
in the rest of the rest of the world
have their teeth and claws
in the thighs of the hydrocarbons
S in 2025 f now with the graph streaking up
So Communism and Commerce are linking arms
to combat the threat
Will their combined power be enough
to limit world temperature
enough and in time?
Or will the inherent delay in the sky
mean that the ugly giant climate change
will win the day?
Writers Week
should it not be Weak Writers?
audible murmurs were heard from the Audience
whenever renewables were mentioned
– but were not responded to
Should we not be shouting our dismay
As the skippers of our countries
Not only don’t see the iceberg
But deny it exists
And steam straight for it
We will strike soon unless things change
Some say in 50 years
Some 20
I say from the NASA data so far
Four & a half years
Then what?
At 1.5C, much will be the same as now
With more storms and weather events
And 2C?
Flooding around the world
Whole cities sunk
And the wheat crop torpedoed
Not the right way to tackle the world obesity problem.
