What to answer to a questioning child?

Fossils turned to fuel
fuel stoked fire
fire caused smoke
who's to blame?

some folks say
it's fossils

some bloke says
climate change is a hoax
it'll turn around
show me the scientists
they've a political agenda

whom to believe
asks a child
who has no school to go
because it's been turned to rubble
by hurricane Michael in Florida
