We are told

We are told
Earth is eons old.
But
The world
As we know it is
Just about through.
Fossil fuels
Are doing it in
Earths atmosphere
Is growing thin.
Smog and green house gasses
are the reason why
However, cures are rather shy.
Temperatures on the rise
Antarcticas glaciers
On the demise.
Polar bears
Disappearing fast
Without ice
They cannot last.
The question asked
What to do
Without world’s intervention
There is no clue
