Frequent And Forceful Fires Foreseen

Of Lies, Pies ‘n’ Promises

The deprived indigenous communities

are unshielded and often unasked-for.

Yet these are the caretakers of cultures

and the custodians of the land and gen.

the pinch of the climate crunch the hardest?

Are they not the least equipped to handle

the new crisis, yet the victims of the polluters?

 

There is a menacing hazard, a heavy horror

of forest fires that calls for bold decisions.

The thirstier the rainforest, the threat

is higher and higher than ever before.

 

Wildfires have bred nothing

but dismay and desolation.

Recent months have witnessed wildfires

that have caused havoc across nations.

Yet specialists caution that this is just

the inauguration, a maiden statement.

warn of a 14% universal increase

in extreme fires by 2030 and a thirty

percent increase by the end of 2050?
