A lethargic trend towards complicity

What worked well in the past may not play very well for the future
Like a chaos theory of surprise:
"... 'back before Elvis,' when Galileo changed the world.

The Climatologist State

Climate scientists used to be
trend cycle masters
(it’s got nothing to do with wheels)
riding on the petroleum gravy
train filled with bucks perpetuating
how it’s always been
since way back when.
We just figured out how to
write down systematically,
keep track on a daily
log of credulity.
Take my easy life away to
save humanity?
Surely you don’t mean me
I tell you how it used to be.

"It is not what we read, but what we see!"
