I read that our planet is literally getting cooked
Climate change has never as bleak looked
As it does now, the temperatures soaring in the stratosphere
Heat waves, wildfires, hurricanes to stay are here..
Last year broke records in terms of heat
This year temperatures are poised to beat
Those from 2023, what else is there is store
The impossibly high numbers barely register any more
We just watch weather patterns go haywire
There are floods and there are wildfires
There are heat waves the likes of which used to be
Unfamiliar to those in temperate climate territory
But temperate seems tropical, tropical climate like the desert in mid-day
For temperatures to become reasonable I pray..

When budding architects future buildings design
The rising temperatures they would need to keep in mind
The answer to global warming does not lie
In staying indoors and cranking the air conditioning high
Our finite resources are being sacrificed
At the altar of climate change, but they do not suffice
Climate change is here to test the limits of human ingenuity
But we shall stay afloat in the rising levels of the sea..
Passion...unbridled 
‘In staying indoors and cranking the air conditioning high’–that seems like a good idea until we realize that our electric bills are becoming astronomical. We cannot bear the heat outside; we cannot afford the bills to keep cool inside. There has to be a happy medium.
