Smoke suffocates charcoaled slabs of continents while
Uncertain politicians hesitate to make unpopular precedents.
Now or never.
Sunshine energy abounds, but rejected as being economically unsound.
Heat melts the ice as white bears drown in spreading seas but
Industries cling to destructive, established technologies.
Now or never.
Evolution? or extinction?
