[Verse 1]
Eighty in October
Makes reality sober
Coming to November
Can you remember?

[Chorus]
The temperature
Is sure
Going higher
(Higher and higher)
Consequences
Are sure
To be dire
(Dire, so dire)

[Bridge]
Looks like we’ll learn
(To burn)

[Verse 2]
What happened to the winter thing
(Turned into Spring)
And, it’s a sure thing
Spring turned into summer
(Remember?)

[Chorus]
The temperature
Is sure
Going higher
(Higher and higher)
Consequences
Are sure
To be dire
(Dire, so dire)

[Bridge]
Looks like we’ll learn
(To burn)

[Chorus]
The temperature
Is sure
Going higher
(Higher and higher)
Consequences
Are sure
To be dire
(Dire, so dire)

[Outro]
Looks like we’ll learn
(To burn)

A SCIENCE NOTE
The Past, Present, and Future of Climate Change

We first developed the hypothesis of the non-linear acceleration of climate change in the 1990s. By the early 2000s, this hypothesis evolved into established climate theory, now widely accepted as scientific fact. My lab partner, a Doctor of Physics from Ohio State, and I collaborated to provide crucial evidence supporting this theory. Over time, we have observed a significant shift in the doubling time of climate change impacts — the rate at which the effects intensify. Initially, the doubling time was approximately 100 years, but it has since decreased to 10 years, and more recently, to just 2 years.

This trend means that the damage caused by climate change today is double what it was two years ago, and in two more years, it could be four times worse. Unfortunately, this rapid acceleration does not appear to be an anomaly, especially given the record-breaking events we’ve witnessed this year, even during the typically cooler La Nina phase. If this trajectory continues, the outcomes will be far more catastrophic than previously expected.

Our climate model was validated in the summer of 2024, as we observed a dozen billion-dollar climate disasters in the first part of the year. On September 26, Hurricane Helene made landfall, emerging as one of the most destructive climate events in recorded history. With over 200 fatalities and $126 billion in direct damages, the hurricane had ripple effects beyond its immediate destruction. For instance, it disrupted 60% of the U.S. IV fluid supply, causing critical shortages in the healthcare sector. Even more concerning, the global tech industry has been impacted, as 99% of the pure quartz used in semiconductor manufacturing has been affected, leading to potential long-term consequences for electronics production.

Hurricane Milton quickly followed, further compounding the devastation. Milton is expected to result in over $100 billion in insurance claims, complicating an already strained insurance market for Florida homeowners. On top of that, the public and government will likely bear an additional $50 billion in costs, placing further pressure on taxpayers and state resources. Much of the damage was caused by high winds and an unprecedented number of tornadoes — over 30 tornadoes hit eastern Florida, causing the highest number of fatalities and extensive financial losses.

The Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment at Imperial College London confirmed that nearly half of the increased costs and intensity of Hurricanes Milton and Helene can be directly attributed to climate change. According to Professor Ralf Toumi, Director of the Grantham Institute and co-author of several studies, “With every fraction of a degree of warming, extreme weather events like Hurricanes Milton and Helene become more powerful and destructive. This should be a wake-up call for anyone who believes climate change is too expensive to address — every delay in reducing emissions only increases the cost of these catastrophic events.”

In summary, the evidence is clear: climate change is rapidly accelerating, and the costs — both economic and human — are growing exponentially. The future demands decisive and immediate action to curb greenhouse gas emissions and prevent further environmental and societal collapse.

[Verse 1]
Deniers and liars
Can’t put out their fires
The rhetoric tires
As time expires

[Chorus]
There is no denying
(No one likes dying)
So why are we lying
(And frying)

[Bridge]
As reality…
begins setting in

[Verse 2]
A denier and/or liar
Can’t explain the fire
The tendency to lie
Makes ya more likely to die

[Chorus]
There is no denying
(No one likes dying)
So why are we lying
(And frying)

[Bridge]
As reality…
begins setting in

[Chorus]
There is no denying
(No one likes dying)
So why are we lying
(And frying)

[OUtro]
As reality…
begins setting in

A SCIENCE NOTE

Many people ask, “Why does a scientist engage with climate deniers?”

Thanks for the concern! You’re right that, for my mental health, it might be easier to ignore them. However, as an educator, I see these interactions as an opportunity to reach a wider audience. Engaging with climate skeptics — what some might call ‘climate dummies’ — gives me the chance to correct misinformation in real time and provide fact-based explanations to others who may be quietly observing the conversation.

By addressing these false claims head-on, I can offer a legitimate, scientifically backed source of information to those seeking clarity in a sea of misinformation. This outreach is critical, especially when so many people are exposed to conflicting or inaccurate claims about climate change. My aim is not to argue for the sake of it, but to ensure that there are trusted voices out there providing clear, evidence-based information on the urgent reality of climate change.

In addition, their opposition is immensely educative in our efforts. In reality, their persistent denial of climate change has forced us to rethink and drastically rebuild our climate models. What were once “worst-case” scenarios have now become the “best-case” outcomes we are seeing today.

Our updated climate model, now integrating complex social-ecological factors, shows that global temperatures could rise by up to 9°C within this century — far beyond previous predictions of a 4°C rise over the next thousand years. This kind of warming could bring us dangerously close to the “wet-bulb” threshold, where heat and humidity exceed the human body’s ability to cool itself, leading to fatal consequences.

Unfortunately, we rely on these so-called climate “skeptics” to remind us just how urgent and critical the climate crisis is becoming. Ironically, their denial helps highlight the importance of decisive action, as climate change continues to spiral out of control.

The window for meaningful intervention is closing, and the need for action has never been more critical.

What you can do today. How to save the planet.

They’re fallin’ harder
(Harder and harder)
Need a retarder
(To slow things down)

[Verse 1]
It’s true:
(The bigger they come,
The harder they fall)

(Of impact)

[Bridge]
Intensity’s intense
(Harder and harder)

(They’re fallin’ harder)
Harder and harder

[Bridge]
Raindrops keep falling
(Keep falling on my head)
No, can’t get ahead

[Verse 2]

What is the past, present and future of climate change?

I originated the hypothesis of the non-linear acceleration of climate change in the 1990s. By the early 2000s, that hypothesis evolved into established climate theory and is now widely recognized as scientific fact. My lab partner, a Doctor of Physics from Ohio State, and I teamed up in the ’90s. He provided crucial evidence to support the hypothesis. Since then, we’ve observed that the doubling time for climate change impacts—how quickly the effects intensify—has dropped dramatically. Initially, the doubling time was around 100 years. However, over the last few decades, it has shortened to 10 years and more recently to just 2 years.

This means the damage from climate change this year is twice as bad as it was two years ago, and in another two years, it could be four times worse. Unfortunately, the sharp decrease in the doubling period doesn’t appear to be an anomaly, especially given the unprecedented events we’re witnessing this year, even during a La Niña phase. If this trend continues, the consequences will be far more devastating than originally anticipated.

Human-induced climate change is a dynamic element of an intricate and chaotic system, accelerating global warming in a complex and exponential manner. Over the period from 1992 to 2023 (update 2024), our climate model has presented evidence, proposed solutions, and engaged millions in understanding this escalating crisis. The data reveals that human activities are rapidly deteriorating our environment.

Our climate model employs chaos theory to assess human impacts. Global warming is driven by increased thermal energy within the climate system, a complex web of interconnected subsystems. Previous models often failed to account for “social-ecological systems,” where human activity significantly alters climate dynamics.
