A frozen world

In subzero cold, frozen flesh, nothing moves
Standing in a place, with no warm sanctuary
Earth has since changed, losing our safe orbit
Warming didn't bring four horsemen hooves
Ice age followed the comet, hope involuntary
With no means of escaping, no magic carpet
Humanity will freeze, none survive subzero
Never think you're able to control climate
Never believe the world remains the same
Climate has changed, it does what it does
Let us have the wisdom to respond to facts
But when that next change does happen
It isn't something we can ever avoid
It happens, knowing the result, act
Or it happens, we do nothing and die
