“‘The dumbest climate conversation of all time’: experts on the Musk-Trump interview“
—The Guardian

(With apologies to Blake)

Fat cat, fat cat, posting shite
In the cybersphere at night
And exchanging ego-strokes
With the fan of Diet Cokes
Who scents more deals in “property”
In melting ice and rising sea.
X/Twitter boss, doyen of dumb,
The globe’s on course to kingdom come
From gas and oil’s bouquet of fumes,
Heat trapped beneath its toxic plumes:
What satiric hand or eye
Can match your folly as we fry?
