Brace For Impact

Global warming is heating up now:
it's no communist Chinese cash cow.
And the low-lying lands are flooding:
they can't be saved; we lack the know-how.
Many people are going to die
as oceans rise to an all-time high.
And we need to brace for its impact,
for a severe climate change is nigh.
As starvation and disease increase,
looters will be shot by the police.
And countries will fight for resources;
thereby thwarting any chance for peace.
We're no longer able to prevent,
nor slow down this climatic event.
Cash can't stop the inevitable:
it could have, but that coin has been spent.
Bound to Earth, we share the same tether:
no one is immune to the weather.
And there's no point in assigning blame:
we must face this crisis together.
