Weather's Future Guessing - a Ditty Trial Poem for dVerse Heroic Form



            Thoughts; Climate Theories 

    Weather science and climate change 
    Do these two behemoths conflict 
    Science has the proof to offer claim 
    Climate theory yet hasn't clicked 

    States have passed laws which forbid 
    acknowledging climate change     
    Calling "useless" theoretics 
    Imagining of the strange  
    
    Look at the thermometer 
    Check the rainfall and the floods 
    Winter snows call St. Peter  
    Droughts and dust storms, eating bugs     

    Hotter and colder, stronger each 
    Temperature changes may hurry 
    Or perhaps they will never be 
    I'm no expert I just worry 

    Me, put my head neath a pillow 
    Way too much for me to swallow 
        _ _ _

    The weather changes are quite disturbing. All the tornadoes in the mid-west yesterday did a lot of damage!

    I see the change happening, and there are so much evidence we have to act for ourselves and our children.

    BTW the prompt asked for 18 lines not 10... I hope you can find another 8 lines somewhere.

    For a long time I was not convinced as to whether climate change was man made or we just hit a tipping point but only an idiot would deny that the climate is changing and what kind of politician would vote in laws banning acknowledging climate change - criminally idiotic appealers to their base...
    Well put poetically!

    "Climate change" is usually cited as a pretext for a boondoggle. Still, it seems a bit much to ban any mention of it. Local warming is indisputably real--whether people are actually doing things that may help, or just proposing boondoggles, it still exists!
