Ourgood Health Is At Risk
Our Good Health is at Risk
One aspect of Global Warming is much too quiet.
It is the part that affects our diet.
The world relies on rice or wheat
And both are affected by summer heat.
The hot sun raises CO2 level lots.
This saps the nutrients from our food crops.
Scientists are not sure how
But they are working hard on it now
Zinc, iron, protein, and vitamins
Are under their microscope lens.
They must keep trying
Cause Millions would die for lack of iron.
Thousands more would be low on zinc
Bringing diseases and life to the brink
30,000 children under five
Sadly would not stay alive.
The loss of vitamin B in rice.
If missing would not be nice.
Governments must reduce emissions
To maintain our plant food nutritions.
If warming continues at the present rate
We must take action now or it will be too late.
