After eleven years as Prime Minister it does seem quite strange <br />That John Howard the ageing politician is talking of climate change <br />But this after all is an Election year <br />And of losing the top job is now his greatest fear. <br /> <br />For eleven years warnings of climate change he chose to ignore <br />But climate change has become an Election issue as never before <br />Howard the climate change convert on combating climate change now leads the way <br />On climate change he has become an instant expert and on it has much to say. <br /> <br />His opponent for the top job Kevin Rudd is a climate change convert too <br />It is amazing what an Election can do <br />To the climate change realist voters they are trying to appeal <br />Of climate change suddenly they make a big deal. <br /> <br />The ideas of the climate change experts Howard and Rudd now embrace <br />As their moment of truth they are about to face <br />The climate realist voters they are trying to appease <br />But try as they will not everyone they will please.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-climate-change-converts/
