Some of us do not take the threat of catastrophic man made climate change and the impending end of the world seriously enough, … but not me… <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wind blew last week and that was followed by rain,
So the proof was right there, so obvious, so plain
That climate change is real, how much evidence did I need?
I had to reverse it, or at least try to impede.<\/p>

\"TPOTG<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I sold my car and every domestic appliance,
On anything electrical now I have no reliance,
Stopped changing my clothes and showering as well,
To save the planet I\u2019m prepared to smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No more trips abroad on those big, evil aircraft,
I know some still travel, but they are just so daft,
Now if I want to go anywhere I just have to walk,
You see I take action, rather than just talking the talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stopped eating any meat, well that goes without saying,
(Think of the virtue signalling I must be conveying!);
And for those that remain so hard to convince,
Well, there\u2019s been no wind or rain, no sign of them since!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So am I carbon neutral? Well no, I\u2019m still breathing,
CO2 gas in great quantity from my body is leaving,
So the world will just have to wait until I\u2019m no more
To find out if the climate has stopped changing for sure.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
