I Have Found Conservatives Who Almost Believe in Global Warming

Some of the boys from the Lawrence Welk top ten
Have at least reached the sputtering stage.
They “just don’t have enough information”.
I don’t expect to feel the impact.

It reminds me of the current reckoning
That the 2003 invasion of Iraq did not work well.
Of course that belated realization took 13 years
And seems cast in a time warp.

I look for a principle that ties such pieces together.
Might it be that the other fellow is infallibly wrong?
Is there perhaps no principle, just interest ?
Are we still running under the oil aristocracy?

This has been the warmest year in recorded history.
Of course there will always be a warmest year.
In the last 20 years we have had 7 of the top ten.
Not to worry, those Lawrence Welk guys may come around.


It will be too late, in fact it’s already too late.
