LYRICS
\nI heard the scientists’ hypothesis
\nIt was quite mind-blowing
\nCome on knowing
\nWhat they said filled my head
\nThey said quite mind-blowing
\nCome on knowing
\nThe ice is melting way too fast
\nAt this pace, it will never last
\nQuite mind-blowing
\nCome on knowing
\nThough not surprising
\nThe temperature’s rising
\nIt’s the rapid rate
\nDoubt the primate
\nIs apt to adapt
\nQuite mind-blowing
\nCome on knowing
\nI was hoping not to fade away
\nMemories of our yesterday
\n… not fade away
\n… decay
\nBut if there’s no one here to hear
\nThere’s no sound to be found<\/p>\n
Quite mind-blowing
\nCome on knowing<\/p>\n

A song about * Antarctic sea-ice at ‘mind-blowing’ low *
\nOn September 17, 2023, the BBC reported:
\nThe sea-ice surrounding Antarctica is well below any previous recorded winter level, satellite data shows, a worrying new benchmark for a region that once seemed resistant to global warming.<\/p>\n
“It’s so far outside anything we’ve seen, it’s almost mind-blowing,” says Walter Meier, who monitors sea-ice with the National Snow and Ice Data Center.<\/p>\n
An unstable Antarctica could have far-reaching consequences, polar experts warn.<\/p>\n
The Guardian reported:
\n“September was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist, absolutely gobsmackingly bananas,\u201d said Zeke Hausfather, at the Berkeley Earth climate data project.”<\/p>\n
Antarctica’s huge ice expanse regulates the planet’s temperature, as the white surface reflects the Sun’s energy back into the atmosphere and also cools the water beneath and near it.<\/p>\n
