LYRICS
\nAs the flow force intensifies
\nIt’s hard to open up my eyes
\nSpin me round
\nBlow me down
\nAs the wind speed increases
\nHarder, harder never ceases
\nSpin me round
\nBlow me down<\/p>\n
Often found on the ground
\nFlat on my back
\nA big black cloud following
\nForeshadowing
\nShadowing
\nForeshadowing shadowing
\nHere’s the thing:
\nThe dark days grow darker
\nThere’s no days to grow
\nThe leading edge grows sharper
\nBleeding we’ll come to know
\nAs the flow force intensifies
\nIt’s hard to open up my eyes
\nSpin me round
\nBlow me down<\/p>\n

A song about The Reign of Violent Rain<\/a> and flow forces. Wind and water flow forces scale as the square of velocity, so as flow speeds increase (say due to more intense heating or heavier rain) the damage scales as the square of the velocity. So a twenty mile an hour wind exerts four times as much force as a ten mile an hour wind. And a forty mile an hour wind exerts sixteen times as much force as a ten mile an hour wind. A wind of fifty miles an hour exerts twenty five times and a wind of sixty miles an hour exerts thirty six times as much force as one of ten miles an hour. Then you have the density term. Water is about eight hundred times denser than air, So the force exerted by a ten mile an hour flow of water is eight hundred times that of a ten mile an hour wind. So as flow velocities go up due to climate change, force and damage scale as square of the velocities. What is not clear is how much these velocities increase with climate change. But in a sense we are seeing this already as, for example, flood and sewage systems succumb and hillsides fall down, and so on.<\/p>\n There is a very complex set of climate systems impacted by sea level rise. The shape of the Earth is changing and speeding up as ice from the poles melts and is drawn toward the equator through centrifugal force. A study published in Geophysical Research Letters of the American Geophysical Union suggests that global warming has led to significant melting of glaciers due to which our planet’s axis of rotation has been moving faster since the 1990s. All of this has a great impact on our weather. The rain intensity is increasing faster today than ever known.
