We’ve been duped before
whether in justification or defence
there’s no certainty in coal futures
we’ll bury CO2 eventually
adding costs onto fuel already
mortgaged beyond our means
even if we’d done it properly
20 years back we’ve no guarantee
warming will slow this Century!
the heat is on to progress
something – but Coal producers
grin and cannily play dumb
in 2008 Australia exported coal
contributed 550 m tonnes of CO2
to global warming
I hope we’re are justifiably proud
of the fact we’ll reap our reward
when we get it all back
