We are all doomed, remember: Nuclear Winter: Poetry for the Apocalypse (1986)


Billions and Billions of Radioactive Particles predicted as our frozen doom? Might as well use Tarot Cards to predict the future. Now we've got the global warming ...er... "Climate Change" scam. Except global warming is more insidious with schemes to tax, legislate and control our lives based through national and international treaties that create a world police state.
"Sagan and Ehrlich picked as their "baseline case" a 5,000 megaton war. . . The results of such a war: a cloud of dust and smoke weighing 1.2 billion tons rapidly envelops the Northern Hemisphere and swiftly swirls into the Southern Hemisphere as well, blocking out 90% or more of the sun's light. Surface temperatures plunge to an average of --13° F and remain below freezing for three months, even if the war is fought in the Northern Hemisphere summer. Nothing can grow; those humans who survive the blast and radiation of the explosions freeze or starve to death. At best, Ehrlich figures, small bands of hunters and gatherers would be left in the Southern Hemisphere."

a Letter to Santa poem from 'Nuclear Winter':

Dear Santa, please hurry here.

Our daughter Marie is only four

but her logic is as clear

as midnight broken by the searing light

of the bomb blast.

She's afraid you aren't coming

because the shelter has no chimney,

only an air vent to filter out death.

She smiled a little when we told her

she'd join you in heaven.

But the morphine is almost gone and

she won't be able to smile much longer.

The scams go on and on!
