Humans are the agents of global warming.
We shrank the ozone layer
because we thought the planet
was a rocket with a destination,
rather than a place for ourselves
and other creatures to be left to be.
Since then the market has moved on
from burning all the fossil fuels
that can be found at the right price
and with cheap labour.
But still it wants to help;
with the increased heat
coming through the gap in the ozone,
and before all life becomes extinct,
human beings are being cajoled
to see in the future with solar panels.
Markets have always been about managing myopia.
