\nChange… I expected to see
\nBut I didn’t think it would be
\nSo rapidly
\nStrange… days indeed
\nYet I don’t think all concede
\nThick in anthropogenic
\nMother’s sick<\/p>\n
While babies cry
\nIf mama dies
\nBaby gonna realize
\nIf mama goes
\nThen all of those
\nCome to a close
\n(Change, I expected to see
\nJust not so rapidly)
\nThick in anthropogenic
\nMother’s sick
\nPeril of the penguin
\nWe break their ice
\nIt breaks my heart
\nSame mistake again and again
\nIgnored advice
\nGo back to start<\/p>\n
While babies cry
\nIf mama dies
\nBaby gonna realize
\nIf mama goes
\nThen all of those
\nCome to a close
\n(Change, I expected to see
\nJust not so rapidly<\/p>\n
Change… I expected to see
\nBut I didn’t think it would be
\nSo rapidly
\nStrange… days indeed
\nYet I don’t think all concede
\nThick in anthropogenic<\/p>\n

At what rate is climate change accelerating?<\/b> About the 2023 wildfires in Hawaii, Governor Josh Green said, “For perspective, we’ve had six fire emergencies this August, we had six fire emergencies between 1953 and 2003. That’s how- how fast things are changing. I know that there is debate out there whether we should be talking about climate change or not. Well, let’s be real world, climate change is here we are in the midst of it with a hotter planet, and fiercer storms.”<\/p>\n About the catastrophic die-off of 10,000 emperor penguin chicks in the Antarctic, Dr. Caroline Holmes of the British Antarctic Survey (an expert on Antarctic sea-ice) said, “What we’re seeing right now is so far outside what we’ve observed previously. We expected change but I don’t think we expected so much change so rapidly<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n LYRICS Change… I expected to see But I didn’t think it would be So rapidly Strange… days indeed Yet I don’t think all concede Thick in anthropogenic Mother’s sick While babies cry If mama dies Baby gonna realize If mama goes Then all of those Come to a close (Change, I expected to see Just […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,9,14,3878,3810],"tags":[163,3934,3933,3932],"class_list":["post-31355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chords","category-daniel","category-lyrics","category-rawhide","category-speciman","tag-climate-change","tag-open-wide","tag-quite-on-the-set","tag-rawhide-away"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31355"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31355\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31360,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31355\/revisions\/31360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nA: Rapidly
\nWe do not know the rate of acceleration other than to say it is more rapid than previously thought. In the summer of 2023, the extreme temperatures left most climate scientists shocked. The average earth surface temperature recorded record highs for months reaching over 3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The Paris Agreement calls for keeping temperatures below 1.5 degrees. Scientists concur that a rise of 2 degrees will trigger feedback loops<\/a> and tipping points<\/a>. Triggering these tipping points results in the CO2 stored in nature to be released. Though we do not know how much carbon is stored in nature, it would be reasonable to assume that the temperature could be pushed from 3 degrees to 6 degrees above pre-industrial levels. Humans can not thrive above a rise of 1.5 degrees. Humans can not survive if the temperature rises 6 degrees.<\/p>\nWhat you can do today. How to save the planet.<\/a><\/h3>\n
