So I really don't enjoy poetry especially 4 pages about global warming. I did enjoy the somewhat snide remarks towards ignorant people who are ruining the earth. But anyways here are examples of how I figured out it was on global warming:
1. In section 2 on page 50 it mentions the Pacific Salmon nosing against dams and then it says clever humans are now growing corn. This means that we are using that water and blocking it off to use for other purposes. Waters absorbs carbon dioxide and by not allowing it to stay and making it used we are getting rid of more that can be absorbing the carbon dioxide instead of causing more greenhouse effects.
2. In section 1 on page 49 it mentions that the troposphere has retained emissions from cars like his. This is greenhouse effect and the burning of fossil fuels (cars) adds to the raising the average global temperature.
3. In section 4 on page 51 it says "there's no life at all." He was talking about the volcanic rock by the sea and in the desert. Things that have no life cannot absorb carbon dioxide. Also volcanoes when erupted add carbon dioxide into the air.
4. In section 5 on page 52 it talks about the Devonian coral. During the Devonian era there were the most fish species and coral now because of global warming they are extinct and you can only find fossils now.
5. In section 9 on page 55 it talks about long-billed arctic curlews being burned in marsh fires. People sometime burned marshes in order to get rid of disease. By getting rid of marshes where these birds find their food and live it is getting rid of living things. Living things also absorb or get rid of some of the carbon dioxide.
