Some guy said the ocean is warming
It was his way of defending
the concept of man-made climate change 
I looked it up and found that
the measurement of temperature
had been going on for fifty years and  
the ocean is divided into three layers with
the surface layer always changing
due to many factors and then
an intermediate layer of water
which has ranges of variance and
a third layer which is the huge
mass of water remaining 
 
This layer in the years measured has
increased by one-tenth of one degree,
so in 500 years if it continues in this manner
it will have increased by one degree. 
Would that be bad or good? 
No one knows the answer to this question
We won’t be here to find out but since
the oceans are millions of years old
why are we trying to play God and
trying to establish that we know more
about His creation than He does
We know nothing or very little about the ocean
It is fun to have ideas and theories
 
Abstract thoughts are good and
may lead to discoveries which
are good for mankind 
I think we were intended to evolve in this way
Theory can lead to fact and we build on facts
There are many who present fiction as truth
Many believers will follow along
until it is proven to be false
Then excuses come to the forefront
Cults of believers feel swindled
Truth will always prevail
Light will overcome all darkness

We never question nature
because we cannot understand
We know by records what
has happened in recent years
But the planet have evolved
over millions of years
Where we are, were once
glaciers that receded
leaving the Great Lakes
 
Experts make unscientific claims
In the 1970’s it was global cooling;
a new ice age, then when
the alarmists could make no money
they changed their focus to global warming
always blaming mankind, especially
those in the United States, as
being responsible for the problem
Temperatures did not rise in over
twenty years.  So the experts changed
the name again to Climate Change
blaming it all on man who couldn’t
change it if they were to try
 
Consensus is not science and
Ted Danson is a Hollywood hack
Predicting in 1988 that the ocean
Would be dead in ten years, but
It didn’t die and he acknowledged
This and then claimed that 70 percent
Of the world’s fisheries would die
Where does he get this insight?
Doesn’t anyone question these people?
They fly around in their jets, making money,
and blaming us for doing something
That is impossible for us to do
They have their sycophants and
the media breaths heavily in adoration

We have all seen winters
Have loved many of them
Even this one with
a preponderance of
white precipitation
We are all human
Know when enough
is enough and my opinion,
which is usually correct and
spot on, says that we have
reached that point
 
Nature, being nature may have
other plans. She may need
to have the lake rise again
Take back our beach and
some of her dunes, reclaiming
what we thought was ours
I have lost a dune, that
I didn’t want in the
first place, because it took
away our bocce court and also
an eight foot square deck,
a thirty year old bench
and five totems we had
placed in the sand
 
I look out the window
See snow falling off of
the branches of evergreens
and see deer tracks going
over to shrubs which are bitter
I know they nibble at them
and then walk away looking 
for some new treasure
They are habitual creatures
They go to the road knowing
they will find some salt
They are not thinking, but
instinctively wish this were over
So do we, you white tailed beauties
but we will have to wait
Won't we?
