The devil and the deep blue sea

Posted by on Jan 2, 2017 in Blog | 0 comments

Life may be tolerable

if we warm our world 1.5 degrees C

at 2 degrees that’s unlikely

To keep below 2C

will mean all that coal and oil

will need to be left in the ground

and that will cause a financial crisis

eight times bigger than the last

Financial ruin versus planet ruin

the suits versus the greenies

it’s our choice

suspect Homo sapiens is leaning towards the suits

for whatever the individuals’ reasons

will the wise one day steer us back to a happy medium?

or are we stuck

between that devil the dollar

and the gradually deepening deep blue sea?
