Notes About The Poem

Black Summer

Listen up and I’ll tell you a truth shall I
  about crazy hysteria and a convenient lie.
About how the burning Australian bushfires
  are blamed on “climate change” deniers -
to convince you of global warming
  and that the climate is transforming.
About the zealot Church of Climatology
  who follow their doomsday cult ideology
and bow to a brainwashed little girl
who preaches the end of the world.
But what they don’t tell you are the facts
  for fear of condemnation it attracts.
                  
Listen up and I’ll tell you a truth shall I
  that Australia has always been wet 'n dry.
This land of fire, drought and flooding rain
  burns and cracks and floods again 'n again -
  thus these fires are not “unprecedented”
such as the bias media misrepresented.
  They shout the mantra of “climate change”
but the facts like themselves they derange.
The fires they blame on hotter days
  but not the arsonists who set them ablaze,
and not the highly combustible eucalypt trees
that burn faster and hotter by degrees.
                  
Listen up and I’ll tell you a truth shall I
  about how when fools play wise people die!
And how eco-fascist environmental laws
  are the reason the wild bushfire roars -
how the huge forest fuel load uncleared
  fed the fires like true nature lovers feared.
The media cry “man-made” destruction
  instead of incompetent hazard reduction.
The drought they blame on oil, gas and coal
  but not a cooling Indian Ocean dipole,
and now that summer torrential rains fall
  that too is climate change they bawl.
                  
First we had the idiot fearmonger, Al Gore,
  who in his crusade got richer n' richer more.
They said “mass starvation, crops will fail”
  yet we grow on an unprecedented scale -
how more extreme weather events are due
  when the data shows the opposite is true.
They said in 30 years Maldives will disappear
  but guess what, 30 years on they’re still there!
They said Tuvalu is sinking as sea levels rise
but satellite mapping showed in gained in size.
  And now they bow and pray to Greta who
prophesies death and shouts “how dare you!”.
                    
Attenborough cries out "save the planet,
  polar bears are dying out", that’s bullsh*t!
Prince Charles, Harry and Meghan spoke
  but they are the princes and princess of woke.
Hollywood too, those dumb smug elites
  in their private jets full of their own conceits.
Now they speak of an existential threat
  and scare our kids into a doomsday mindset -
that civilisation will end in their lifetime
  and that is a contemptuous crime.
Australia! Your ash and dust is in my veins,
this land of fire, drought and flooding rains.
