Glad you approve of this poem, Ian. You’re right that I feel strongly about this topic. The poorest developing countries seem to be taking the brunt of global warming so far. In the recent documentary “An Inconvenient Truth 2”, Al Gore presents some hopeful messages, but he also suggests that the terrible refugee problems are at least in part linked to global warming: as a result of droughts in Africa and the Middle East causing famines; then you have the melting of Arctic ice packs and rising sea levels causing worse floods than ever before in low-lying countries.

Poetry is a life-long love, but a writing poetry is a skill too far for me I fear. Well done and well written. Writing about a topic close to your heart lends strength and legitimacy to the task as can be seen here.

Write on, right on.
