Name: The Moral Urgency To Stop The Forces Of Climate Change by Rev. Sam Trumbore
Duration: 30 min 17 s
Description: With each part per million increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and degree of global temperature we lock in devastating climate changes that will diminish and deplete the lives of future generations. There are individual steps we can make to slow down that process. The most important steps however must be collective changes. How can we be part of a solution? Which ones are possible now?

In a game show democracy values do not count 
Instead we’re ranked by status and by bank account 
Honesty and character no longer hold much sway 
You’d have to lie and not get caught to succeed today 

* In a game show democracy sponsors call the shots 
High definition lies make up blockbuster plots
It’s an alternate reality where anyone can run 
Johnny, tell us what we’ve won 

In a game show democracy students do not learn 
Bigger profit margins are the main concern
As public education moves into private hands
We trust corporations to create lesson plans 
 *
In a game show democracy problems still exist
Like the ones in commercials and they are quickly fixed 
Don’t worry ‘bout side effects or telling wrong from right 
Don’t worry ‘bout the battles, they’re someone else’s fight 
 *
In a game show democracy citizens don’t care
Change the channel and the topic from the comfort of your chair 
We trust that the ship of state will remain afloat
And reminisce about the days when we used to vote 
 *
Johnny, please tell us - it was all in fun 
Johnny, oh Johnny - what have we done
