Weather Forecasting's Limitations?
(Without an understanding of climate change and global warming)

Wishful thinking, Jim Bridenstine,
That weather forecasts will let you know
When you and your fellow Oklahomans
Should expect to encounter your very next blow?

Will it be a new blue norther?
Or your very own tornado?
With you and Jim Inhofe as its particular targets,
Still denying the reason for the changes we know?

About major polluters like the Koch Brothers
With their megatons of earth warming CO2,
Belching big profits into their pockets
While risking the lives of civilians like you?

Why did you ever move to Oklahoma?
Just for the excitement of their wild winds?
And to get caught in an Okie twister
So you could enjoy the way that it spins?

A quick Mary Poppins umbrella trip?
You're going to need a much better grip
On what is causing the Koch boys to panic,
On why they are suddenly even more manic.

Have they contrasted the cost of a CO2 fix
With that of their continuous rebuttal, "Mox nix"?
