LYRICS
\nAre you feeling it?
\nCan you taste it in the air
\nYou reeling from it?
\nClimate change has come to bear
\nAware
\nI’m choking
\nOn the smoking
\nWhen you can see, smell, taste, touch
\nThe air
\nDo you care to share your despair?
\nCan it be, well, haste, waste, such
\nTo the touch
\nIs “weigh too much”
\n… way too much?<\/p>\n
Climate change is in the air
\nYou can feel
\n(Can you feel it a bit?)
\nPrimate rearrange
\nBeware
\nThe real deal
\nLiterally
\nLitter you can see
\nClimate change is in the air
\nYou can feel the real deal<\/p>\n
[Dog Barking]
\nIs his bark worse than his bite?
\nNot tonight!
\n(Climate change’s bite is worse than the bark)<\/p>\n
Climate change is in the air
\nYou can feel the real deal<\/p>\n
This song is about the Canadian wildfires of 2023. Up to this point in time it had been easy for people not to really notice climate change. A gradual rise in temperature of 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit. I mean… what’s the big deal, right? Well, the extreme wildfires are fueled by climate change and people can literally see it. The wildfires create huge CO2 emissions and remove millions of acres of CO2 absorbing old-growth forests creating a worsening feedback loop. Air pollution<\/a> is: a leading cause of death worldwide, the leading cause of climate change, and the greatest threat to humankind. The good news — the wildfires are very visible. The wildfires are in your face. People can see, smell, taste, and touch the climate change in their face. Perhaps some of the unwoke will wake?<\/p>\n \nSmoke from wildfires in Canada brought record-breaking air pollution to the United States this spring, creating dangerous air quality from Bismarck, N.D., to Denver and Detroit to New York City and Washington. According to a Washington Post analysis of smoke data through June 7 (2023) from Stanford University, 197 air quality monitoring stations have reported all-time high pollution from wildfires.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This line is about everyone on my facebook feed waking up: Chords: Am D7 \/ Em \/ Em C A7 D7 \/ D7 A7; Part II @ 111 BPM LYRICS Are you feeling it?
