We Have Ability
Kevin Hicks
Remember the ozone layer?
Way up in the stratosphere?
Blocking some ultraviolet danger?
Humans were causing holes
Mostly with CFC
So we addressed it
By changed activity
And the holes are closing
Showing global unity
Overcoming deniers
And their obfuscation
Who tried to block
Corrective action
See the takeaway?
Yes, we tiny humans can break it
Yes, we tiny humans can fix it
If we act today
Ignoring deniers
And their ostrich way
We don’t hear about acid rain these days
You might ask yourself, why?
Because the regulations worked
There’s less acid in the sky
Aquatic life
Gets some relief
And forests, too,
However brief
Yes, man can damage climate
Yes, man can fix it, too
Yes, we can limit
Our CO2
Just examine
Our recent history
Yes, we have the ability
To break the atmosphere and to fix it
We can achieve sustainability
After first admitting
Responsibility
