Or, 

How does the poem ' The Greenhouse Effect ' describe change in urban and suburban life ? 

Answer:- 

The poet Carl Dennis in his poem "The Greenhouse Effect"  imagines a future shaped by global warming. The world gets hotter, and the best places for farming move toward the cold poles. The Plains States in America become dry dust bowls and are abandoned. Greenland and Antarctica become new, powerful countries. The speaker's nation grows poorer.

Life becomes very different for people. Good land for farming is rare and expensive. Suburbs are turned into farms, and cities become crowded with people who are too poor to own cars. They walk or use trollies to get around. The streets are lined with nut trees for food, not just pretty trees like elms or oaks. People use their front lawns to grow vegetables.

The government does not have enough money to care for public buildings. Citizens must volunteer after work to maintain the Library, City Hall, and the Federal Building. The poet warns that if they don't, these places could fall into ruin, just like the temples in ancient Rome. The image of sheep grazing in public squares, as they did in the Roman Forum after its fall, is used to show a great civilization's decline.

The speaker's country is no longer a world leader. New, stronger nations rise, which are compared to "stronger Carthages," an ancient rival of Rome. These new powers, like "Korean armadas," control the seas. The speaker accepts this change. The people find contentment in simpler things, like listening to a local band on the beach.
