We Will Yet Pay for the Scoffing of those Who are Irresponsible

    And the people kept on going to their little league games, going out to shows, and feasting at their family dinners. 
   With no thought and no discussion -- and often no belief -- in the solemn threat against their world.
   One congressionally mandated report, according to CNN, "warned that even though planet-warming pollution in the US is slowly decreasing, it is not happening nearly fast enough to meet the nation's targets, nor is it in line with the UN-sanctioned goal to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius -- a threshold beyond which scientists warn life of Earth will struggle to cope."
   That, and many news stories like it, roused the populace very little. The masses were nonplussed. There was work to go to, sporting events to watch, more important matters to attend to. And a large force of the public urged the rest that there really wasn't anything to worry about anyway. It amounted to just a bunch of chatter from scientists who didn't know what they were talking about, the scoffers argued.
   But there comes a day of reckoning. You ignore the experts and the scientists and those who would save you at your own risk. Irresponsibility eventually has a price.
