The guest speaker
told us
there are few
if any
scientists
who still attribute
global warming
to natural causes.
It is all because of us.
Humans are destroying
our own planet,
the very thing
that allows us to

They say,

at the current rate,

secular apocalypse
in our lifetime.
They painted a
desolate
picture
of a world stripped
of water, food, fuel, light, heat
and hope
with wars
and riots
breaking out over
the smallest quantities of
drinkable water.
There are alternative
energy sources.
There is no alternative
to water.
Ending it quickly,
with a
nuclear holocaust
may start to sound like
a plausible option.
