Prof Ian Lowe's Poem to Biochar

Taken from Dr. Lowe's address to the 1st Asia-Pacific Biochar Conference, Gold Coast, May 2009.

1. Here’s a summary of my talk
   In case you slept or took a walk
   We know our civilisation’s through
   If we don’t cut back on CO2.
2. It won’t matter how we toil
   If we don’t put carbon in our soil
   And so the future’s shining star
   Yes, you’ve guessed it, Biochar!
3. I’ll just remind you, climate changes
   Threaten clear and present dangers
   We know we have no future here
   Unless we fix the atmosphere.
4. Clean energy will have a role
   But fixing carbon is out goal
   No matter who or where you are
   Let’s raise a glass to Biochar!
