Earth Day Atmospheric Observation

The issue of global warming is similar to very small and very large. It takes the tools of science to observe it. Scientists tend to concentrate on shrinking glaciers and other observeable events when explaining the problem; that is hardly the issue. The human population is the primary exponential spike that stresses earth systems to the breaking point. If humans and their father god cannot find or face the answers, mother earth will not shrink from presenting the solution. I guess we could call that, "collecting the data," for a poem of epic proportions.

Global Makeover One Degree at a Time

The wind up there screams
through crowded pressure pathways contours.
Great tropospheric waves
fighting to hold direction against thermal
mountains of tropic heat and polar vortex cold.
The writhing jet stream monster goes meridional balancing
between poleward adventure
and the slackening calm of doldrums descending dryness.
Onward it journeys in a furious quest,
feasting on the rising moisture from ocean waters and raining on the surface bounty.
Old Sol’s greenhouse step child grows out-of-control...
The teeming greenness holds the planet crust in its clutches,
breathing in and breathing out by season,
nurturing its children who release the planet carbon horde
from eons of incarceration.
Together they will conquer the finely tuned,
thermodynamic climate miracle
and return our home unknowing to the chaos
from whence it sprung.
