Mercury rising
The planets align
Mercury rising
Thermometer’s a sign

[Verse 1]
Don’t need astrology
For climatology
Just look at mercury
And, you’ll see

[Bridge]
Thermal energy
Causing entropy
Not gonna see
Sympathy

[Chorus]
Liquid metal
We did meddle
Watch flesh melt
From under your belt

[Verse 2]
Better off with astronomy
To find our destiny
Look to the atmosphere
To see Man’s smear

[Bridge]
Thermal energy
Causing entropy
Not gonna see
Sympathy

[Chorus]
Liquid metal
We did meddle
Watch flesh melt
From under your belt

A SCIENCE NOTE
Mercury is both a liquid at room temperature (as it has a very low melting point of -39C) and a metal.

Mercury Rising in a Thermometer

When mercury rises in a thermometer, it indicates an increase in temperature. Here’s how it works:

  1. Thermal Expansion: Mercury expands when it is heated. As the temperature increases, the mercury inside the glass tube of the thermometer expands and rises. Conversely, when the temperature decreases, the mercury contracts and falls.
  2. Measurement: Thermometers are calibrated to show the temperature corresponding to the height of the mercury column. As the mercury rises, it moves past markings on the thermometer that indicate the temperature.

Mercury Rising Astrologically

In astrology, “Mercury rising” refers to the position of the planet Mercury in the natal chart, particularly when it is near the Ascendant (the eastern horizon) at the time of a person’s birth. Here’s what it signifies:

  1. Communication and Intelligence: Mercury is the planet associated with communication, intellect, reasoning, and the mind. When Mercury is rising, these qualities are believed to be prominent in a person’s personality.
  2. Influence on Personality: Individuals with Mercury rising are often thought to be curious, articulate, and quick-witted. They may have a strong ability to express themselves and a keen interest in learning and exchanging ideas.
  3. Astrological Chart: In the natal chart, the Ascendant (or rising sign) represents the outward persona and how others perceive the individual. Mercury rising can enhance traits related to Mercury, such as adaptability and sociability.

In summary, rising mercury in a thermometer indicates a physical increase in temperature, while Mercury rising astrologically suggests a prominent influence of the planet Mercury on an individual’s personality and communication skills.

NOTES
This song was recorded using my mother’s old upright piano. She bought it for the family after saving for a few years. Despite not playing the piano herself, she made the sacrifice and purchase for her children. Although it wasn’t suitable for high-quality recordings, AI technology has now brought it back to life!

A SCIENCE NOTE
On July 14, 2024, Philadelphia set an unusual weather record for the month of July by experiencing measurable snowfall. This rare event occurred during the third heat wave of the summer when a severe thunderstorm passed over Philadelphia International Airport. The storm brought small granular hail, which accumulated enough to be recorded as snowfall. This surprising weather phenomenon highlights the extreme and unpredictable nature of weather patterns, even during typically hot summer months. The occurrence of hail during a heat wave underscores the complexities of atmospheric conditions and the potential for unexpected weather events.

Global warming has inflicted irreversible damage on our environment, a consensus echoed by nearly all scientists. Indeed, climate change poses a profound challenge. Our planet is witnessing conditions that increasingly jeopardize human habitation. The critical question now is whether we can adapt swiftly enough. “We are not saying that the Earth’s temperature is just going to rise. In general, as energy is added to a system, the fluctuations in the system increase. So, we expect more storms, more droughts, more wildfires, more floods, more fluctuations of all kinds. What we are saying is that weather conditions will become more volatile (Extreme Weather Events) due to the impact of humans,” said Mukherjee and Brouse.

Human-induced climate change is a dynamic component of an intricate and unordered system, as per chaos theory. This implies that global warming is accelerating exponentially in a complex manner. Over the period from 1992 to 2023, we have presented compelling evidence, proposed remedies to mitigate climate change, and amassed valuable information through the engagement of millions with this climate model. Your participation has been invaluable. The incontrovertible data underscores that human-induced climate change is rapidly deteriorating our habitat.

This climate model/experiment employs chaos theory to comprehensively consider human impacts, projecting a potential global average temperature increase of 9°C above pre-industrial levels. Global warming results from elevated thermal energy within the climate system, which includes various interconnected subsystems. Chaos theory highlights the intricate and nonlinear nature of these dynamic systems. Previous climate models inadequately incorporated “social-ecological systems,” as human involvement was not a significant factor in past climate changes.

A SCIENCE NOTE
Our climate model uses chaos theory in an attempt to adequately account for humans and forecasts a global average temperature increase of 9 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Everybody has the responsibility not to pollute. There are plenty of things you can do to help save the planet. Stop using fossil fuels. Consume less. Love more. Here is a list of additional actions you can take.

Convincing a climate change denier of the reality and urgency of the climate crisis can be challenging, but a strategic approach using clear, relatable, and credible information can be effective.
