Should we get out of Kyoto now?

Should we get out of Kyoto now?

By

James Bredin

What about this looming global disaster?
As foretold by every environmental master,
Global warming is coming by the middle of July,
Should we say our prayers, look around and say good bye?

We’re going to hell according to the prophets of doom,
Climate change – the end of the earth – coming soon.
They say we have to stay in the Kyoto Accord now,
And if we don’t we might miss out on being good somehow.

And we have to help poor people in the Third World,
UN developing nations with their flags unfurled,
The Americans and Australians not in this accord,
India and China excused from being aboard.

And our taxes may increase but that’s nothing new,
Unless we pull out of Kyoto before they go askew,
Let’s hope our politicians finally have some balls,
Get out of Kyoto now and make our own calls.
