Nat West, your ‘Pragmatic mid-road’
remains a dangerous mode:
if the Earth is to breathe,
your shareholders must seethe
at all finance for fuels that corrode.
The inevitability of that transition had already been forecast by Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of The United Nations in a speech to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Assembly 11th January 2026. But with the world’s vulnerability to the dirty and dangerous carbon fuel industries, made so much more evident by the vileness of war, strategies that free countries from that stranglehold become increasingly attractive.
This CLIMERICK takes up that theme
Many countries are seeing the light
and jettisoning carbon fuels’ blight.
So with this global trend
foul fuel’s grip looks to end
and net zero come well into sight.
A war with oil at its heart
makes clear the strangling part
that dirty fuels play
in the world of today.
So come! Boost the Eco-fresh-start.
It’s Awesome! More People Are Keen
That the world should transition to green
So if that’s where you stand
You are part of a band
Wanting dirty fuels right off the scene.
(Research by Climate Outreach cited in webinar 4.2.26 based on how over 7,000 British people think and feel about climate in culture and entertainment showed that a mjority of those surveyed want the green-transition to become a reality. The surveys were produced in partnership with Wellcome Trust, Cultural Philanthropy Foundation and More in Common, and funded by Wellcome Trust and the European Climate Foundation.)
GOOD NEWS!
Many countries are seeing the light
and jettisoning carbon fuels’ blight.
So with this global trend
foul fuel’s grip will soon end
and Net Zero come soon into sight.
It really is possible for those contemplating buying or changing household equipment to hasten the end of the dirty fuels era. The first word can equally be ‘home-builders’
Householders can hasten the fall
of dirty fuels, holding in thrall
the fate of the earth,
by giving wide berth
to appliances, gas coal and oil
