[Intro]
Read the headlines
(Watch! A sign!)
Follow the money
(Who’s doin’ fine?)
Facts on the table
(Truth is the label)
But when the liars take the stage
They set the world arage!
[Verse 1]
Call it a hoax, call it a scam
Tell the people, “I know who I am”
Mock the science, ridicule the facts
Then wonder why the planet reacts
Drill, baby, drill, that’s the refrain
Pump some more while we fuel the flame
Sell the future for a short-term gain
Then send the bill down the chain!
[Refrain]
Oh so vile
(Science denial)
Coax a hoax
(Liar! Liar!)
… Earth’s on fire
(Fanning the flames)
Higher! Higher!
[Verse 2]
Wind and solar, call them a joke
While the planet disappears in smoke
Clean, beautiful coal, that’s the line
But the consequences aren’t so fine
Paris Agreement, call it fake
How much more can the truth take?
When the evidence is crystal clear
They manufacture doubt and sell us fear!
[Refrain]
Oh so vile
(Science denial)
Coax a hoax
(Liar! Liar!)
… Earth’s on fire
(Fanning the flames)
Higher! Higher!
[Bridge]
Drill! Drill! Drill!
(Who’s paying the bill?)
Burn! Burn! Burn!
(When will they learn?)
Higher! Higher!
(Fanning the fire!)
More! More! More!
(What are we burning for?)
[Breakdown]
The irony’s plain for all to see:
The crisis speeds the energy tragedy
The harder they try to hold the past
The faster the old regime won’t last!
Science isn’t a partisan game
The laws of nature don’t care who’s to blame
Research cut and regulations rolled back
The public’s left to pick up the slack
Deny the danger, weaken the shield
But Earth’s response won’t be repealed!
[Refrain]
Oh so vile
(Science denial)
Coax a hoax
(Liar! Liar!)
… your pants are on fire
(Fanning the flames)
Higher! Higher!
[Breakdown]
Facts! (Facts!)
Not fiction! (Not fiction!)
Science! (Science!)
Not superstition!
Look! (Look!)
Outside! (Outside!)
Earth’s on fire!
(Higher! Higher!)
[Final Refrain]
Oh so vile
(Science denial)
Coax a hoax
(Liar! Liar!)
… Earth’s on fire
(Fanning the flames)
Higher! Higher!
Oh so vile
(Science denial)
Truth on trial
(For a little while)
Earth’s on fire
(Feeding desire)
Higher! Higher!
(We can’t go higher!)
[Outro]
No more denial
(No more denial)
No more lies
(Open your eyes)
The facts remain
(Through wind and rain)
Earth’s on fire…
Who’s fanning the flames?
About the Song
Brent crude futures recently approached $117 per barrel. However, futures prices tell only half the story. Due to the geopolitical instability associated with Trump’s support for Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu, both indicted war criminals, the cost of delivering physical oil has soared to approximately half the futures price, pushing the final cost of a barrel to $150–$175.
Ironically, this has triggered the fastest and most significant global shift away from fossil-fuel dependency, directly contradicting Trump’s “Drill, Baby, Drill” ideology and its rejection of climate science. His policies and geopolitical alliances are accelerating the very energy transition his administration seeks to obstruct.
Donald J. Trump has repeatedly voiced skepticism toward climate science and taken concrete actions to undermine climate research and policy. He has publicly called climate change a “hoax,” the “greatest scam of all time,” and “bullshit,” reflecting a long-standing pattern of dismissing mainstream scientific consensus.
In a major address to the United Nations General Assembly on September 23, 2025, President Trump delivered a comprehensive rejection of global climate efforts, labeling climate change the “greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.” Key claims from this speech included:
Climate Science as a Hoax: He dismissed the concept of a “carbon footprint” as fabricated by individuals with “evil intentions” and characterized UN climate projections as the work of “stupid people.”
Renewable Energy as a “Scam”: Trump repeatedly labeled wind and solar power as a “joke,” “pathetic,” and a “scam,” claiming these technologies are too expensive and unreliable for modern infrastructure.
Rebranding Fossil Fuels: He actively promoted American fossil fuels, issuing a standing White House directive to refer to coal only as “clean, beautiful coal” to counter negative perceptions of fossil energy.
Criticism of the Paris Agreement: Trump referred to the Paris Climate Accord as “fake,” claiming the United States contributed far more than other nations while receiving little benefit in return.
Attacking European Policy: He warned that Europe—and Germany in particular—was “going to hell” economically due to its green energy transition and immigration policies.
Caricaturing Environmentalists: Trump used hyperbolic claims to paint climate advocates as extremists, asserting that radical environmentalists “want to kill all the cows” to reduce methane emissions.
Beyond rhetoric, Trump took significant steps to dismantle climate science and regulatory frameworks at the federal level, particularly through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Among the most consequential actions was the repeal of the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which legally designated greenhouse gases as a threat to public health and enabled regulation of emissions. These actions have had lasting effects on U.S. climate policy, weakening federal oversight, slowing renewable energy development, and reducing the country’s ability to respond to the accelerating climate crisis.
Trump’s tenure illustrates the intersection of political ideology, personal branding, and science denial, with consequences that extend far beyond domestic policy into global environmental governance.
Trump has been widely criticized for white nationalist rhetoric and is also well-documented for his connections to Jeffrey Epstein, a known ecofascist. Ecofascists understand the physics of climate change, with the short-term upper limit of warming estimated around +9°C. Their goal, alarmingly, is to push humanity toward that upper bound as a means of drastically reducing the global population—particularly targeting vulnerable regions in the Global South.
[Intro]
Watch his mouth
(Watch him go)
Truth comes north
(Then heads south!)
Round and round
(The same old sound)
Another glory “his” story
(Another shroud!)
… for crying out loud!
[Verse 1]
He says the sky is green today
Then swears the blue has gone away
He tells us black is really white
And changes sides before the night
A promise made, a promise bent
A million words, but what was meant?
The facts are knocking at the door
He says he’s never heard them before!
[Refrain]
How can you tell he’s lying
… is he (moo, moo) moving his lips
(Just a bit)
True. There’s no denying
… intentional slips
(Spew some shhh….)
It! Yes that’s “it”.
He’s (moo, moo) moving his lips
(La, la, la) Lying to the dips
(The dip shhh….)
It’s! Yes that’s “it”.
[Verse 2]
He says he won when he lost the race
Then puts a grin on his lying face
He blames the crowd, he blames the game
He changes facts but keeps his name
Add more spin, blow more smoke
A grand old promise, another joke
Check the record, check the score
The truth keeps knocking evermore!
[Refrain]
How can you tell he’s lying
… is he (moo, moo) moving his lips
(Just a bit)
True. There’s no denying
… intentional slips
(Spew some shhh….)
It! Yes that’s “it”.
He’s (moo, moo) moving his lips
(La, la, la) Lying to the dips
(The dip shhh….)
It’s! Yes that’s “it”.
[Bridge]
Moo, moo, moo
(What’s he trying to do?)
Spin, spin, spin
(Where does truth begin?)
[Breakdown]
Fact-check!
(What the heck?)
Double-check!
(What’s next?)
Words are cheap
(Promises steep)
Watch what they do
(Does he have a clue!)
A claim’s not true because it’s loud
A lie’s not truth because it’s proud
Don’t take the bait, don’t buy the show
Look at the facts before you go
The proof is there for all to see
If we can face reality
[Final Refrain]
How can you tell he’s lying
… is he (moo, moo) moving his lips
(Just a bit)
True. There’s no denying
… intentional slips
(Spew some shhh….)
It! Yes that’s “it”.
He’s (moo, moo) moving his lips
(La, la, la) Lying to the dips
(The dip shhh….)
It’s! Yes that’s “it”.
How can you tell he’s lying?
(Check the facts!)
How can you tell he’s lying?
(Watch how he acts!)
Moo, moo, moo
(We see through you!)
Spin, spin, spin
(Truth will win!)
[Outro]
Moo, moo, moo!
(What’s he gonna do?)
La, la, la!
(Lie to you!)
Words may twist
(Facts persist)
Lips may flap
(There’s the trap!)
How can you tell?
(You know it well!)
Check the facts…
And ring that bell!
About the Song
Fact-checking organizations have documented tens of thousands of false or misleading statements by Donald Trump throughout his political career. Because tracking criteria and scopes differ among media outlets, there is no single consensus figure, but comprehensive databases provide the following counts:
• The Washington Post Fact Checker: 30,573 false or misleading claims
• PolitiFact: rated approximately 76% of the Trump statements they examined as “Mostly False,” “False,” or “Pants on Fire”.

[Verse 1]
Measure out the morning sky
Watch the clouds go rolling by
Feel the heat beneath your feet
See the changes on your street
[Pre-Chorus]
Not just here and not just there
It’s spreading out through everywhere
Look around and take a breath
There’s more to it than width and depth
[Refrain]
Wild width
(Depth and breadth)
Wild width
(Height and length)
The whole darn thing
(Gone wild)
… on the upswing
(Noooo, oh no no no)
… not mild
[Verse 2]
Wider swings and longer spells
More to see than any tells
Extremes linger, stays and stays
Shifting patterns, stranger days
[Pre-Chorus]
Not a line that stays in place
Not a gentle, steady pace
When the pieces start to blend
Where does one begin or end?
[Refrain]
Wild width
(Depth and breadth)
Wild width
(Height and length)
The whole darn thing
(Gone wild)
… on the upswing
(Noooo, oh no no no)

Width is where it spreads around
Depth is what is underground
Height is reaching for the sky
Length is how it carries by
Put them all together now
See the pattern, ask the how
When the changes interconnect
What comes next is hard to guess
[Build-Up]
Wider!
(Depth and breadth!)
Higher!
(Height and length!)
Faster!

Wild width

Look around
(See the signs)
Everywhere
