[Intro]
It was a wonderful experiment
Full of life and merriment
Nothing did we need
To succeed

[Verse 1]
Flora and fauna
(Makin’ love if ya wanna)
Propagation in the vegetation
(A lifelong vacation)

[Chorus]
It was a wonderful experiment
(Full of life and merriment)
Nothing did we need
(To succeed)

[Bridge]
But then we fell off track
(Due to our own greed)
Unnatural nature attack
(Causing Earth to bleed)

[Verse 2]
Both night and day
(Were going our way)
24 7
(Like being in heaven)

[Chorus]
It was a wonderful experiment
(Full of life and merriment)
Nothing did we need
(To succeed)

[Bridge]
But then we fell off track
(Due to our own greed)
Unnatural nature attack
(Causing Earth to bleed)

[Chorus]
It was a wonderful experiment
(Full of life and merriment)
Nothing did we need
(To succeed)

[Outro]
It was a wonderful experiment
(Full of life and merriment)

Where we can outlast
Self-gassed
Relegated to the past

A SCIENCE NOTE: The Past, Present, and Future of Climate Change
In the 1990s, we first hypothesized the non-linear acceleration of climate change. By the early 2000s, this hypothesis had evolved into established climate theory, now widely recognized as scientific fact. My lab partner, a Doctor of Physics from Ohio State, and I collaborated to provide key evidence supporting this theory. Over the years, we have observed a dramatic reduction in the doubling time of climate change impacts — the rate at which these 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 implies that the damage caused by climate change today is double what it was two years ago. In two years, it could be four times worse; in four years, eight times worse; and within a decade, potentially 64 times worse. These projections are conservative, assuming the doubling period does not continue to shrink further. Alarmingly, this rapid acceleration does not appear to be an anomaly. If this trajectory persists, the consequences will likely be far more catastrophic than previously anticipated.

Our climate model employs chaos theory to comprehensively consider human impacts and projects a potential global average temperature increase of 9℃ above pre-industrial levels. Global warming is a consequence of elevated thermal energy in the climate system, which comprises various subsystems. Chaos theory underscores the intricate and nonlinear nature of dynamic systems. Human well-being is compromised above a 1.5-degree temperature rise, rendering much of the Earth uninhabitable. A 9-degree Celsius increase would bring the Earth close to a wet-bulb temperature incapable of sustaining human life.

What Can I Do? There are numerous actions you can take to contribute to saving the planet. Each person bears the responsibility to minimize pollution, discontinue the use of fossil fuels, reduce consumption, and foster a culture of love and care. The Butterfly Effect illustrates that a small change in one area can lead to significant alterations in conditions anywhere on the globe. Hence, the frequently heard statement that a fluttering butterfly in China can cause a hurricane in the Atlantic. Be a butterfly and affect the world.

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

A SCIENCE NOTE
The proximity to “doomsday” due to climate change has become more urgent, as the planet has already surpassed 1.5°C (2.7°F) of warming above pre-industrial levels in 2024. This milestone, which scientists warned could trigger irreversible impacts, marks a critical tipping point in the climate crisis. Here’s an updated overview of the situation:

Key Indicators of Climate Risk:

1. Surpassing 1.5°C:
   • Crossing the 1.5°C threshold means the planet is now experiencing more severe and irreversible consequences, such as accelerated ecosystem collapse, higher risks of extreme weather events, and increased global instability.
2. Melting Ice and Rising Seas:
   • The rate of polar ice sheet and glacier melting is accelerating, contributing to faster-than-expected sea level rise. Coastal areas are already facing more frequent flooding, and some regions are becoming uninhabitable.
3. Extreme Weather Intensification:
   • Heatwaves, hurricanes, wildfires, and droughts have become more frequent and intense. These events are not just local disasters but are increasingly interconnected, creating cascading global disruptions.
4. Tipping Points Becoming Reality:
   • Climate tipping points, such as the Amazon rainforest nearing a dieback state, Arctic permafrost releasing large amounts of methane, and significant disruptions to ocean currents like the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), are no longer theoretical. Their impacts are now unfolding.
5. Human and Economic Costs:
   • The human toll of climate change continues to mount, with millions displaced, increased food and water insecurity, and mounting economic losses. Insurance markets in high-risk areas are collapsing, and global economic damages are projected to exceed trillions annually by mid-century.

How Close Are We?

Having surpassed 1.5°C of warming, the world is dangerously close to catastrophic climate scenarios:

• The risk of crossing 2°C of warming, which could lead to mass extinctions, ecosystem collapse, and widespread societal disruption, is now imminent unless drastic action is taken immediately.
• The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has emphasized that the window for limiting warming to 1.5°C has closed, and humanity must now focus on preventing temperatures from rising further toward 2°C or beyond.

Doomsday Clock Context:

The Doomsday Clock, maintained by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, is set at 89 seconds to midnight as of 2025, its closest point ever. Climate change, alongside nuclear war and other existential threats, plays a significant role in this calculation. Surpassing 1.5°C of warming highlights the urgency of immediate climate action.

What Can Be Done?

Despite this sobering reality, there is still a narrow pathway to prevent the worst outcomes. It requires:

1. Aggressive Emission Reductions:
   • The world must cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 60% by 2030 to limit further warming and aim for net-zero emissions well before 2050.
2. Transition to Renewable Energy:
   • A global shift away from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power must accelerate immediately.
3. Adaptation and Resilience:
   • Governments need to prioritize climate adaptation measures, including improved infrastructure, disaster preparedness, and protecting critical ecosystems.
4. Global Cooperation:
   • Strong international agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, must be enforced and enhanced. Wealthier nations must also provide support to developing countries that are most vulnerable to climate impacts.

The Path Forward:

Surpassing 1.5°C is a wake-up call, underscoring that climate change is not a distant threat but a current crisis. While preventing further warming beyond 2°C is essential, every fraction of a degree matters. The time for incremental change has passed—immediate, systemic action is required to mitigate the escalating risks and secure a livable future.

[Intro]
Twenty twenty-five
(Still alive?)

[Verse 1]
Watch us burn
(Will we ever learn)
Watch us fight
(Won’t we see the light)

[Chorus]
This year
We’re the biggest fear
The calamity
Of humanity
(Pure insanity)

[Verse 2]
Our hair is on fire
(Don’t care if it’s dire)
Watch us fight
(To make wrong right)

ABOUT THE SONG
he Doomsday Clock was set at 89 seconds to midnight on Tuesday morning, marking the closest the world has ever been to what scientists warn is “global catastrophe.” This symbolic clock, maintained by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, is an internationally recognized indicator of humanity’s proximity to existential threats, such as nuclear war, climate change, and disruptive technologies.

Described by the Chicago-based nonprofit as a metaphorical measure of the risk of “human extinction,” the clock is updated annually to reflect the state of global security and stability. In January 2024, the clock remained at 90 seconds to midnight—the same position as in 2023—highlighting ongoing concerns. However, this latest adjustment to 89 seconds marks the first forward movement since 2023, signaling an escalation in perceived threats to humanity.

The change underscores a variety of urgent global challenges. These include heightened nuclear tensions, increasing climate-related disasters, and the proliferation of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, which can both aid and destabilize international systems. The clock serves as a stark reminder that collective global action is needed to address these risks and avert catastrophe.
