It was Professor Tim Flannery -

not me, so don’t shoot the messenger

Flannery’s a nut, quite frankly!

Running around like an evangelist

Working part-time on 3 grand a week

A great gig if you can make it on the list

Adelaide, Sydney and Perth will die of thirst

They’ll be bone dry with not a drop to drink

Repent by 2010, or we’ll all be curst

Yet in 2012, Warragamba opened its gates

Lest the water break its mighty walls

So the operators said let the water evacuate

You might say: “Climate change denier”

I say: “I know climates constantly changing”

Its why some weeks are wetter, hotter or dryer

The Australian indigenous first settlers

Are living survivors of the changing climate

They saw small oceans grow into large acres

We all need to lessen our pollution

It’s good for the environment –

It’s good for our health and a living ocean

But the climate’s been changing for millions –

And yes, I mean millions of years

So can we really stop it by wasting billions?

So I say to all the Tim Flannery’s out there

Push the benefits of environment and health

and not doomsday scares – it’s totally unfair.
