Carbon Alarm

-- by Horatio Algeranon


The models got it wrong --
Wrong in the wrong direction.
What should have taken long
Is here for our inspection. 

The sea ice disappears
Much faster than was thought.
The projected "50 years"
Was wrong, because it's hot

The seas are rising fast
And quicker than predicted
Based upon the past
When ice-melt was restricted.

We know the earth is warming
We do not need a model
The carbon is alarming
There's no more time to dawdle.
