Heat From the Heavens

The mean temperature for January two thousand and six (thus far)
   noticeably above the norm for this time of year
prognosticators foretell various forecasts per this third planet from the star
   which inhabitants upon Mother Earth burden of responsibility must bear
billions of people wanton pollutants ratchet up barometric millibar
   dialing up greenhouse effect, which serious scenario scientists fear     
correlation from profligate offal ways traced from freed genie in the jar
   no longer stretch of imagination affects mankind did sear
since day of reckoning whence Prometheus set stage for war
   pitting mankind against Gaia messages we fail to hear.
