   John has created a wonderful poem on the significant issue of climate change. Climate change is affecting us all - from melting glaciers to unexpected rains that have wreaked havoc on seasonal crops and destroyed the livelihood of farmers. The message given by John is loud and clear. Unless we stop playing with nature, nature will one day destroy us all. The link to John's timely and powerful poem is below.

   John, you have created a high awareness among us all about climate change and about fire in the ocean, causing imbalance in the ecosystem. I love the quote at the end debating whether we should consider economy or environment to be more important; in that case, of course, the environment wins as it is almost impossible to hold one's breath and count their money. Ha ha. Thank you so much for making us conscious of the problem and at the same time entertaining us.
   
   Thanks, Ravi, for posting John's work.

      Yes, climate change is a very important issue, Rosina. I thought that quote demonstrated well how it was more important than the economy lol. Thank you for reading, and I'm happy you found this entertaining.

   This is a very fitting poem foe this day and age. Of course, you knocked it out of the park, I read about melting ice caps, and you have to be concerned. John. I really enjoyed reading your poem.
   
   Thank for posting John's poem, Ravi.

   John has created an excellent article mixing reality and imagination. His message about real life is important. The fact that the temperature of the ocean is increasing is very worrying. John’s choice of images matches the theme of his article very well. Thank you for sharing the article, Ravi.

   Climate change affects so many faucet s of life.
   
   It is getting hotter & I imagine it effects the ocean life even in the cold.

   Thank you, Brenda. We will never have everyone in agreement, and whether it is a natural cycle or made worse by man it doesn’t really matter. What os obvious is that climate is changing, and we have to try to lessen the affects, adapt, or perish.

   Ravi, thank you for posting this, and John, thank you for writing. You have really captured the problem. (And that quote at the end is perfect). My husband is a scientist, and we shake our heads at the climate deniers.

    Thanks Ravi for sharing John's imaginative poetry regarding the vitally important subject of climate change.  Things seem to be getting worse year after year.  People worldwide need to take this seriously and do what is possible to reduce the polluting of our planet.

       Thanks Peggy. Yes, climate change needs to be taken seriously, but in many cases it is just a platform for grandstanding without any well thought out solutions. Hopefully that changes in time.

    Interesting.
    
    All the farmers and fisherman I know are more concerned with big Government, wondering what BIG GOV is up to; wondering what China is up to & why they have their heads together? Wondering where that leaves them/leaves us...long before the planet strikes back?!
    
    But, I do love your writing John. :-)

       Oh AB, the farmers and fishermen have every right to be concerned with what BIG GOV is up to, and China is a huge concern right across the board. We just have to do the best we can for the good of the planet ourselves, no matter how small and insignificant that seems, and hope those Governing powers don’t tip things too far. Nature has a way of rebelling. Thanks for reading what I write even if you may not always agree.

    John..
    I just reread this piece.
    
    It is awesome.
    
    I must admit that back in the day when the claims of climate change were echoed...my ears faintly heard.
    
    I honestly thought it was just another ploy.
    
    Thanks for helping many to see the light.
