Climate Troopers

From the Wall Street Journal:

"Delegates from the 195 nations participating in climate talks in Paris were waiting Saturday for what officials said may be the final version of an international deal to tackle global warming.

If implemented, the agreement could force businesses and citizens to sharply reduce their use of fossil fuels like oil, gas or coal."

From the smoggy shores of China to the fractured prairie sod

of North Dakota, climate troopers soon will play at God.

Like the Mounties in their dress of blazing red, these recruits

will stamp out greenhouse gas and pull it up by its vile roots.

No more will coal nor oil nor gas pollute defenseless air;

offending individuals are tracked down to their lair --

and fined such fines and stigmatized that they will hang their head

and wish they had used windmills or a bicycle instead.

Fiends who grill with charcoal or employ the power mower

will meet with nothing less than a touch of the flamethrower.

But should a third-world country find it difficult to wean

itself from fossil fuel, that is a very diff'rent scene.

In that case millions will be spent to help them overcome

their inclination to rely on colonial oil drum.

For it is only fitting that the water buffalo

should finally satanic mills stoically o'erthrow.
