'climate Change'
The greatest threat to the world is climate change,
driven by human emissions and resulting in shifting weather;
the Earth's temperature is rising and little hope remains.
The Arctic permafrost, glaciers, and sea ice wanes,
and rising ocean levels will make for intense storms to gather;
the greatest threat to the world is climate change.
Hurricanes, typhoons, tidal waves will be stronger and strange,
monsoons, flooding, earthquakes, fires will be the worst ever;
the Earth's temperature is rising and little hope remains.
There will be loss of coral reefs and changes in mountain range,
impacts on ecosystems leading to animal extinct treasures;
the greatest threat to the world is climate change.
When I think about what is happening I am filled with rage,
those of us who care have to keep telling the world of the terror;
the Earth's temperature is rising and little hope remains.
There will be more volcanic activity and mud slides in many domains,
the ocean, ice and weather impacts may be gradual or rapid but forever;
the greatest threat to the world is climate change,
the Earth's temperature is rising and little hope remains !
