Global Warming, Is It All Real?

Global warming, now is it all real?
A diaster caused by the human race
Some scientists say it's not a big deal
But I often wonder if this is the case.
Money, oil and power make us blind
And to make top scientists turn a blind eye
To the damage being done by mankind
The chance to change it passes us by.
Rising oceans and extremes in heat
Natural disasters like never before
We ignored the signs, the outlook bleak
The damage is done but still no laws.
Yes it is real, but is it too late?
Have a greedy few sealed our fate.
