LYRICS
Tune in
The frequency
Turn up
The volume
The magic is in the science
It’s music to our ears
Raise the chance your atoms
Dance
Until the smoke clears

Tune in
The frequency
Tune in
Frequently
Turn up
The volume
Turn up
And than some
The way the waves behave
Is music to our ears
Raise the chance our atoms
Dance
When everyone hears

Tune in
The frequency
Tune in
Frequently
Turn up
The volume
Turn up
And than some
The ear drums vibrate
At a certain rate
They stimulate
And move
Until we dance and groove

A song about the science of sound and the magic of music. The line “The magic is in the science” was inspired by Merlin from King Arthur. Many think his acts of magic where actually science experiments. The line “Dance until the smoke clears” is about science protecting scientists in dark times (such as Galileo and the Inquisition or modern scientists and climate change deniers.) Most of the song is about the magic of music being heard.

Johns Hopkins says: The ear collects sound waves and channels them into the ear canal, where the sound is amplified. The sound waves then travel toward a flexible, oval membrane at the end of the ear canal called the eardrum, or tympanic membrane. Sound waves cause the eardrum to vibrate. The cochlea is filled with a fluid that (when stimulated) moves in response to the vibrations from the oval window. As the fluid moves, 25,000 nerve endings are set into motion. These nerve endings transform the vibrations into electrical impulses that then travel along the eighth cranial nerve (auditory nerve) to the brain.

A song about:
“LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman has told the New Yorker that at least 50% of Silicon Valley’s wealthiest have ‘apocalypse insurance’ – either an underground bunker or a contingency plan in case of disaster. ‘Saying you’re buying a house in New Zealand is kind of a wink, wink, say no more.'”
and… “the billionaire bunker, whether on land, sea or someday (ostensibly) on another planet entirely.”

It’s kind-of like Dr. Frankenstein hiding from his monster?

Hits me

Wind whipped rain
When gas turns to liquid

You come to know
The force of flow

Where it hits your face
You’ll make sense
Of what is dense
Literally, I can see density
It disfigures me
Density

The irony
In my eye

Hit a snag

Technically Speaking, It’s Not the Momentum That Kills You

It’s not the fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop at the end.

Technically speaking it is the impact from the momentum that causes damage and deaths. Global warming causes an increase in mass and/or velocity (momentum) of things that are mass flow driven by heat, like wind and flood.

The burning of fossil fuels and other human released emissions have impacted momentum’s impact. A warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture. Warmer air allows for the creation of more massive raindrops. Warmer ocean temperatures create stronger hurricanes. Hail and tornadoes form in strong thunderstorm clouds with intense updrafts, high liquid-water content, and large water droplets.

Sidd added: It’s worse than that. Wind and water flow forces scale as the square of velocity, so as flow speeds increase (say due to more intense heating or heavier rain) the damage scales as the square of the velocity.

About “square of the velocity”, I asked Sidd: is this Bernoulli’s Equation?

Sidd replied:

look at Wikipedia: Drag (Physics)
you will see that force is proportional to density times square of velocity (v^2)

The Drag Equation

So a twenty mile an hour wind exerts four times as much force as a ten mile an hour wind. And a forty mile an hour wind exerts sixteen times as much force as a ten mile an hour wind. A wind of fifty miles an hour exerts twenty five times and a wind of sixty miles an hour exerts thirty six times as much force as one of ten miles an hour. Then you have the density term. Water is about eight hundred times denser than air, So the force exerted by a ten mile an hour flow of water is eight hundred times that of a ten mile an hour wind. So as flow velocities go up due to climate change, force and damage scale as square of the velocities. What is not clear is how much these velocities increase with climate change. But in a sense we are seeing this already as, for example, flood and sewage systems succumb and hillsides fall down, and so on. — from “Climate Change: The Equation” / Brouse and Mukherjee (2023)

The Weather Channel reported:
O​phelia became the 16th storm of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season early on September 23. Ophelia developed from an area of energy and spin in the mid-levels of the atmosphere that began over the Deep South and swung southeastward across Florida and into the western Atlantic.

T​he system developed strong winds and increasing surf while sitting over the warm Gulf Stream current on Sept. 21, and attained winds of 40+ mph by late evening. It took on subtropical, then tropical characteristics as it neared the North Carolina coast.

O​phelia may have been a hurricane for a very short time either late on Sept. 22 or early on Sept. 23. Surface winds measured by the Hurricane Hunters temporarily briefly fluttered around 75 mph and an eye feature was briefly seen on radar and satellite data.

The storm lingered over Pennsylvania from Friday night through Monday.

A song of hope about stopping climate change. I had asked:
What will create the change needed?
Litigation against oil companies and governments: The oil industry is going to be like the tobacco industry. The consumers claim they were misled about the dangers of burning fossil fuels and file lawsuits against the oil companies. As litigation drags on, you will not be able to buy oil or get insurance at a reasonable price (similar to what happened to cigarette smokers.) At the same time, children are litigating with their governments for their basic human rights. In Montana, children won the case of Held v. Montana over the “right to a clean and healthful environment.”

California v. Exxon, Shell, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and BP
In September of 2023, the State of California filed the lawsuit for:

  • DECADES OF DECEPTION
    • Oil and gas executives have known for decades about the dangers of the fossil fuels they produce.
    • Industry-funded reports directly linked fossil fuel consumption to rising global temperatures and damage to our air, land, and water.
    • Oil companies intentionally suppressed that information from the public and policymakers to protect their profits, and spent billions of dollars to spread disinformation on climate change and delay our transition away from fossil fuels.
    • Oil companies used this information for their own profits, developing new technology to explore the Arctic for oil production because they knew Arctic sea ice was melting.
    • The deception continues today: Oil companies promote fossil fuel products as “clean” or “green” or “low-emissions” that still produce carbon pollution, and they tout their renewable fuel products that actually make up a fraction of a percent of their earnings.
  • DAMAGING OUR STATE
    • Big Oil’s lies and cover ups have caused ongoing climate disasters that have imposed billions of dollars of costs on Californians. We should not have to foot the bill alone while oil companies profit.
    • The suit demands that oil companies pay their fair share for:
      Recovery efforts from climate change-induced superstorms and wildfires;
      Protecting people from the health impacts of extreme heat;
      Managing dwindling water supplies in extreme drought;
      Fortifying infrastructure and homes against sea level rise and coastal and inland flooding.

What we’re asking the court to do:

  • Order the oil companies to pay for the costs of their impacts to the environment, human health, and Californians’ livelihoods, and to help protect the state against the harms that climate change will cause in years to come;
  • Prohibit oil companies from engaging in further pollution and destruction of California communities and natural resources;
  • Levy financial penalties on Big Oil for lying to the public, and order the industry to immediately stop its ongoing efforts to deceive or misinform about their catastrophic impacts;
  • Award punitive damages to the state to punish these companies for their misconduct.
