LYRICS
Sedimentary
Find it ordinary
Said dim is bliss
In ignorance
Unlock
Dumb as a rock
Metamorphic
Quick! We’ll do the trick
Just like magic
Shapeshift a little bit
Granite
Don’t take it for granted
Igneous
Ingenious
Now we know the flow
See the key in geology
Is getting the rock to go…
Rock n’ roll
Polish the soul
Rock n’ roll
A diamond from coal?
Ignorant of igneous
Or close enough for rock n’ roll?

LYRICS
What have we learned
After all these years
After all be burned
Brings fears
What have we earned
Minus our dues
Still haven’t learned
Haven’t a clue
Do you?

Refuse to face the facts
Reuse and reduce lacks
What have we earned
Minus our dues
Still haven’t learned
Haven’t a clue

We chose to limit our days
Unwilling to adapt our ways
What have we earned
Minus our dues
Still haven’t learned
Haven’t a clue

“In 1896, a seminal paper by Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius first predicted that changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels could substantially alter the surface temperature through the greenhouse effect. In 1938, Guy Callendar connected carbon dioxide increases in Earth’s atmosphere to global warming.” — NASA

If you dream big enough
And your heart’s not too tough
Begun the unsung young

Human induced climate change is an exponential component of an unordered system (chaos theory). That means global warming is accelerating at a rapid rate in a complex way — a climate crisis. A simple way to try to explain it can be found in the explanation of tipping points:

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.

The youth offer us our best hope. Keep your heart and mind young. Save the world.

Going from one day to the next
Getting more and more perplexed
What the heck is going on…
Going wrong?
Are you sure of the melting glacier?
Things are hot, believe it or not
A flood of droughts
A drought of floods
Under cascading mud
Slide wide
Wide slide

Going from one day to the next
Getting more and more perplexed
What the heck is going on…
Going wrong?
Birds and bees die of disease
Man-made as Man fades
Understand on his hand
Their blood
Under cascading mud
Slide wide
Wide slide

Going from one day to the next
Getting more and more perplexed
What the heck is going on…
Going wrong?
Ocean is warmer than a bath
Doesn’t add up… do the math
Oppenheimer brainstorm was a dud
Under cascading mud
Slide wide
Wide slide

Going from one day to the next
Getting more and more perplexed
What the heck is going on…
Going wrong?

Sing me a song
That it won’t be long
Coming soon
Before the Blue Moon
It’s coming along
No, we can’t go wrong
Coming soon

Save us from ourselves
If nobody else
Make it plain to see
Our humanity

Sing me a song
How it won’t be long
Found buffoon
Before the Blue Moon
We’re coming on strong
No, it wont’ be long
Coming soon
Before the Blue Moon
Save us from ourselves

Sing me a tune
That we will resume
Coming soon
Before the Blue Moon
We learn to love
Beyond and above
Not just once
In a Blue Moon
Save us from ourselves
If nobody else
Make it plain to see
Our humanity

A NASA Study reported, “If global temperatures keep rising and reach 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels, people worldwide could face multiple impacts of climate change simultaneously.”

I responded, “If”? … sadly no longer “If”… at current levels of emissions, we will reach an average of +3 in the 2050’s. (We already reached that average for July of 2023.) Multiple tipping points have already been breached… the dominoes are falling. According to the new IPCC chair, Jim Skea, we would need to stop all emissions immediately… and then there is a small chance that we would peek at +1.5 – 2… and then start coming back down after 2100. However, he admits chances are slim that we will stop using fossil fuels. The speed at which we will reach +3 to +6 depends mostly on how much CO2 is stored in nature. We do not know that answer. But as these tipping points take off on their own, we will find out.

Human induced climate change is an exponential component of an unordered system (chaos theory). Tipping points and feedback loops are parts of an equation that determine the rate of acceleration in climate change.

Too many kooks and cooks
Same mistake again and again

Beyond roasted… toasted

I like it not too wet
I like it not too dry

That’ I’m in for a cry

I like it not on fire
I like it not so dire
I like it above ground
While my world spins around

Burnt and overcooked
