Hey if God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Would everything be alright

God has got his phone off the hook, babe
Would he even pick up if he could

Hanging round this neighbourhood
You see his mother dealing in a doorway
See father christmas with a begging bowl
Jesus sisters eyes are a blister
The high street never looked so low

Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster.

Mindenhol a világon, az ember által ismert környezeteken és területeken, egyre veszélyesebb időjárási mintázatok és pusztító viharok vetnek véget az éghajlat változásának létezését firtató hosszú vitának. Nemcsak, hogy valós, de itt is van, és a hatásai létrehoznak egy riasztóan új globális jelenséget: a mesterséges természeti katasztrófát.
