Global Warming: Real or Myth

Extreme weather has become the new normal        
But for a layman's point of view, it's paranormal        
All across the land we suffer from Poseidon's wrath        
Yet we ignore his warnings, and act like a spoiled brat        
       
Make no mistake about global warming--        
Science has given us unequivocal warning        
It's for real--and happening faster than ever        
Work on solutions; otherwise, it's now or never
        
The deep blue seas are beginning to rise
from the polar regions due to melting ice;
caused by the hotter sun and earth's reflectiveness,
as well as greenhouse gases from human activities
       
Human activities - burning of fossil fuels: coal and oil    
Continuous actions causing greenhouse effect more severe    
A few have attempted to raise awareness but failed to foil        
Increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere        
Makes the earth warmer causing erratic climate change        
       
Deforestation for agriculture and community development        
Threatens the biological diversity of the world that's why I lament        
Together with half of all plant and animal species in the forests        
Who would protect our unique ecosystems if we lay down to rest?        
       
Increase in famines, earthquakes and other natural disasters:        
     scorching wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes and record floods        
The list could go on and on... as long and frequent as it gets        
Are these signs of the end times as written by St. Matthew?  
        
We know a whole lot more, we just pretend to ignore        
"Warning: we are not to be deceived        
These events are only the beginning of birth pains;        
The end is still to come..."
