LYRICS
What do you know
Here we go
The same $ hit show
Here we go
Please tell me no
No, no, no
Can you say who’s in charge
By the way those indulge
Enlarge their gorge
Through hoard
Bring on the woe
Here we go
The same $ hit show
Here we go
Please tell me no
No, no, no
Can you say who’s in charge
By the way those indulge
Enlarge their gorge
Through hoard
Where friend is foe
Blow by blow
The same $ hit show
Here we go
Please tell me no
No, no, no
Can you say who’s in charge
By the way those indulge
Enlarge their gorge
Through hoard
We do not know
Still we go
The same $ hit show
Here we go
Please tell me no
No, no, no
Can you say who’s in charge
By the way those indulge
Enlarge their gorge
Through hoard

Tipping points and feedback loops are parts of an equation that determine the rate of acceleration in climate change.
Push a glass toward the edge of a table and eventually it will fall off on its own. No matter how slowly or meticulously you push… no matter how you weight or fill the glass, it will reach a tipping point and fall off before being pushed completely off the table. No matter whether you believe the glass is half-empty or half-full, when the tipping point is reached it will plummet out-of-control to its end. This is science not fate, faith, nor belief. Human induced climate change has resulted in environmental tipping points being breached. Tipping points are the points in time when a process becomes self-sustaining without further human activity. Climate change tipping points are positions in an evolving system that lead to a new and irreversible development in global warming.
Crossing one tipping point would be alarming. For instance, crossing the tipping point for ‘mountain glacier loss’ has immediate consequences: millions of people in Europe will be impacted by the lack of fresh water. Billions of people that live along coasts will be impacted by the saline infiltration and eventually by the submerging of their property. In September of 2022, UNESCO reported accelerated melting of glaciers in World Heritage sites, with glaciers in a third of sites set to disappear by 2050. In September of 2023, the GLAMOS glacier monitoring center found 10% of Swiss glaciers had disappeared in the last 2 years. They do not expect any Swiss glaciers will be left by 2050 no matter what actions are taken. If extreme measures are taken, they anticipate we may be able to save some polar glaciers.
This in and of itself should be alarming; however, it gets worse. Tipping points are parts of feedback loop systems.
