Sky falling and nobody knows what to do next

The sky is falling! What shall we do?

Build more roads? Reflect more heat? Oh no! Global warming!

Install more solar panels? Reflect more heat? Oh no! Global warming!

Remove shade trees? Oh no! Save. Plant more!

The glaciers are melting! Polar bears can learn to live on land. (We did.)

The seas are rising. Pray for oceanfront hotels, homes.

The oceans are warming, Congress! Get to work. Stop the 15 volcanoes that are erupting!

Prepare yourselves. Stop giving kids cellphones and games.

Stop using electric heat, electric hot water heaters, electric cars?

Find coal for steel plants that doesn’t pollute.

Leave dead trees to rot. No cabins or homes with fireplaces. No burning!

Stop flying. Use that oil to make more luggage, sneakers, pocketbooks.

Where, oh where, will our electricity come from?

Nuclear? Boo! Diesel? Boo! Dams? Boo! Natural gas? Maybe.

Windmills? Whose backyard?

University professors, grind out your research.

Kill cattle and flatulence gone. Eat less beef! Imitation leather?

Congress will send money.

What shall we do!
