What to answer to a questioning child?

Fossils turned to fuel
fuel stoked fire
fire caused smoke
who's to blame?

some folks say
it's fossils

some bloke says
climate change is a hoax
it'll turn around
show me the scientists
they've a political agenda

whom to believe
asks a child
who has no school to go
because it's been turned to rubble
by hurricane Michael in Florida

Nice write Raj and with an important social conscience and message
Are we not descending into the medieval here?
I read that only 83% of Americans don't even have a 7th grade vocabulary
Its stupid time

for taking time to read and grasping the intent....too many events in the past 2 years give credibility to what you have commented...and keep swallowing lie after lie...
