Climate Warning

There was a stunning planet called earth That was the home of men since their birth Who wished themselves much to please, Each appetite to appease, Finally, drove all mankind to its death.* © Demetrios Trifiatis 01 September 2015 *From Alaska, US President Barack Obama has warned that climate change is an urgent and growing threat that has to be faced now. Human activity” he said “is disrupting the climate, in many ways faster than we thought.” He promised to take measures but each one of us is responsible to act!

We have to protect Mother Earth. I have read we are in for an ice age beginning in aprox. 15 years and lasting about 20-30 years with colder than normal winters. Scientists are expecting the Thames to freeze over like it had in the last ice age in the 17th century.

It is a sad world we live in, my dear poet. If man does not change his ways there will be calamity upon calamity...These things were foretold, and will come to pass. Wishing you well...
