“We are in the beginning

of a mass extinction,

and all you can talk about

is money and fairy tales

of eternal economic growth . . .

How dare you!”

Greta Thunberg

at the U.N. General Assembly

It maybe a few long decades

BEFORE we clearly feel and see

the awful truth of her icy words.

Now, 2019, we have the December failure

of the U.N. climate conference to

demand and pledge yet again to

perhaps slow the warming.

A grand international do-too-little by 193

very independent, very sovereign,

sovereign nations who can't commit

to more difficult carbon changes.

Under a weak, weak United Nations!

Anyone for a strong world government with

peace warriors to deal with warming

and our endless violent warring?
