Green Crap
Let’s ease up on the green crap,
The climate’s not too bad;
Some summer heat in winter
Should make us feel quite glad.
Ditch all the regulations

Give people what they dream of:
More flights, more stuff, more, more.
Rev up your petrol guzzlers
And roar down country roads;
Let’s motorise the planet
Through trucks with monster loads.

We have been banging on for years.
But the actions of our leaders
Are running decades in arrears.
And don’t pretend it’s all fake news
Or the facts are inconclusive;
Evidence for such opinions
