Man-made climate change is weird

For it one cannot measure;

But for so long as it is feared

 Amassed will be much treasure.

I see โ€“ you are wanting to buy
A ticket for this gravy train.
The cost is (youโ€™ll soon find out why)
Our total control of your brain.

The world is flat, thatโ€™s clear to all,
Though some whose reasoningโ€™s unsound
Persistently insist itโ€™s round,
Just like a rather large golf ball.

These skeptics, proven science deny.
They say flat-earthers wish to scare
And of such scammers to beware –
That so called experts tell a lie.

But all good scientists say itโ€™s true,
And we must harken to their cant,
And those who say that proof is scant,
Well they are just a rebel few.

The models say the world is flat
So at these round-earthers we scoff
For were it round weโ€™d all fall off
And that should be the end of that!

And while itโ€™s clear to you and me
That flat-earth theory always rules,
Perhaps these poor misguided fools
May all have eyes but cannot see

That it is proven –ย  letโ€™s agree:
The Earth is flat as is the ground;
Upon a turtleโ€™s back itโ€™s found
And not upon a giant golf tee.

Two scientists met one sunny day;
Said one: โ€œMy friend, what do you say
To this great offer that Iโ€™ll make:
Some say of course our cause is fake;
That weโ€™re corrupt and on the take,
And sure, we take our slice of cake,
But anybody with a brain
Knows this is not some gravy train;
So come with us and join the fray,
And battle Climate Change each day.
You wish to tilt at CO2?
This is the perfect job for you,
Involving travel โ€“ hereโ€™s a clue:
Youโ€™ll fly first class or sail the blue
To Rio, London, Paris France,
And Rome, the city of romance,
Hawaiiโ€™s beaches, old New York;
And all youโ€™ll have to do is talk!
Youโ€™ll stay in posh hotels โ€“ 5 star!
Expenses paid, a chauffeured car.
The food? โ€“ a banquet everyday!
And what about your rise in pay!
Youโ€™ll be astonished brother โ€“ wow!
Itโ€™s much more than youโ€™re making now.
Such offers donโ€™t come every day,
So tell me pal โ€“ what do you say?โ€

So said the second: โ€œAs you know,
I study weather โ€“ winds that blow,
The glaciers โ€“ their ebb and flow,
The polar ice, the winter snow.
On climate Iโ€™ve an open mind.
Iโ€™d theories of a different kind
To what you hold, but what you say
Makes sense, I feel, in every way.
Of course the travel would be tough.
Iโ€™d find the workload rather rough.
The rise in pay? – could not care less.
(Though my accounts are in a mess)
5 star hotels, cocktails and wine?
MacDonaldโ€™s now is where I dine.
Not that that influences me;
Itโ€™s with your logic I agree.
The points you make are crystal clear –
That global warming all must fear.
Though I once thought the theory strange,
Iโ€™m now convinced on Climate Change.
Your offer then, I wonโ€™t decline;
The bill of sale – where do I sign?”
