1242 - Climate of fear

Is climate change man-made? Well, no-one knows
The glaciers are melting, that is clear
But climates have changed in the past and snows
Of yesteryear have waxed and waned each year
Some winters have been harsh, some summers were
Hotter, some cooler; the mid-seventies
Summers were hot and sunny: remember
The prayers for rain in ’76. These
Variations can’t be easily squeezed
Into a model that can be supposed
To be definitive. Yet there’s this fear
That things are getting worse from industries
What industries? The revolution slows and slows
Computers rule now, or so it appears
