LYRICS
\nMaybe it’s time we let go
\nOf our stubborn ways
\nIf we hope to know
\nMore newborn days
\nWe’re here to report
\nWe’ve numbered them short
\nMight be time to begin
\nTaking them in
\nThe air up there
\nIs plain to see
\nAnd it shouldn’t be
\nThe earth’s on fire
\nThe pain is dire
\nMakes it hard to be
\nIt’s not surprising
\nThe tide is rising
\nAll because of “we”
\nAnd me, me, me!<\/p>\n
Maybe it’s time we let go
\nOf our selfish ways
\nBetter get to know
\nHow to share our days
\nWe’re here to report
\nWe’ve numbered them short
\nMight be time to begin
\nTaking them in
\nThe air up there
\nIs plain to see
\nAnd it shouldn’t be
\nThe earth’s on fire
\nThe pain is dire
\nMakes it hard to be
\nIt’s not surprising
\nThe tide is rising
\nAll because of “we”
\nAnd me, me, me!<\/p>\n
Maybe it’s time we let go
\nOf our fuelish ways
\nRather get to know
\nHow to prolong days
\nWe’re here to report
\nWe’ve numbered them short
\nMight be time to begin
\nTaking them in
\nThe air up there
\nIs plain to see
\nAnd it shouldn’t be
\nThe earth’s on fire
\nThe pain is dire
\nMakes it hard to be
\nIt’s not surprising
\nThe tide is rising
\nAll because of “we”
\nAnd me, me, me!<\/p>\n

Global warming has caused irreparable damage to our environment. Almost all scientists agree that IN FACT climate change is a problem. Our planet is becoming unfit for human life. Now the question is can we adapt in time? (1999)<\/p>\n
Human induced climate change is an exponential component of an unordered system (chaos theory).<\/strong> That means global warming is accelerating at a rapid rate in a complex way. From 1992 through 2023<\/a>, we presented evidence and suggested remedies to mitigate climate change. By 2023, the data was undeniable that human induced climate change is destroying our habitat at a rapidly increasing rate.<\/p>\n Sidd said, “Do you remember back in the early 2000’s when we thought we wouldn’t live to see the extreme changes due to global warming?”<\/p>\n Daniel replied, “I think 2023 is the most significant year so far. We saw confirmation of tipping points being crossed for Mountain Glacier Loss, Greenland Ice Sheet Collapse, Antarctic Ice Sheet Collapse, and potentially the Collapse of AMOC.”<\/p>\n Sidd continued, “We already knew that. It was Canada catching on fire that I could not believe. I never thought I’d live to see the day.”<\/p>\n Daniel asked, “Do you think the permafrost and peatlands will have zombie fires and cause the permafrost tipping point<\/b>?”<\/p>\n Sidd responded, “Yes. They are gone, too. We already know from the permafrost peatland fires in Siberia.”<\/p>\n NASA reported: Wildland fire experts have described Canada’s 2023 fire season as record-breaking and shocking. Over the course of a fire season that started early and ended late, blazes have burned an estimated 18.4 million hectares. Hundreds of fires exceeded 10,000 hectares (39 square miles), large enough to be considered “megafires.” These megafires were also unusually widespread this season, charring forests from British Columbia and Alberta in the west to Quebec and the Atlantic provinces in the east to the Northwest Territories and the Yukon in the north.<\/p>\n Forest fires cause a carbon feedback loop. The carbon emissions of Canada’s fires outweighed the combined emissions from its oil and gas, transport and agriculture sectors. The fires also cause the melting of the permafrost and zombie fires to burn in the permafrost. The permafrost collapse is a self-sustaining feedback loop\/tipping point. As the permafrost melts, the peatlands emit CO2 and methane. The increase in CO2 and methane results in more warming that results in more peatland emissions. A third feedback loop is created with lightning strikes. The study Forests at Risk Due to Lightning Fires<\/a> found a sensitivity of extratropical intact forests to potential increases in lightning fires, which would have far-reaching consequences for terrestrial carbon storage and biodiversity. The results show that, on a global scale, lightning is the primary ignition source of fires in temperate and boreal forests. Global warming causes more extreme weather events and conditions for lightning creating more forest fires that create more warming and more lightning strikes.<\/p>\n The study Wildfire as a major driver of recent permafrost thaw in boreal peatlands<\/a> published in the Journal Nature Communications found wildfires have caused a quarter of permafrost thaw (2,000 square kilometres) in Western Canada’s boreal peatlands over the past 30 years. “Historically, permafrost in this area underwent a natural cycle of thawing and reforming, but given current climate conditions and projections for the future, this fire-induced thaw appears to be irreversible,” said Carolyn Gibson, who conducted the research.<\/p>\n LYRICS Maybe it’s time we let go Of our stubborn ways If we hope to know More newborn days We’re here to report We’ve numbered them short Might be time to begin Taking them in The air up there Is plain to see And it shouldn’t be The earth’s on fire The pain is dire […]<\/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":[3,5,6,9,14,3878,3810],"tags":[163,528,3934,3933,3932],"class_list":["post-31760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-4d-music","category-chaos-theory","category-chords","category-daniel","category-lyrics","category-rawhide","category-speciman","tag-climate-change","tag-midi","tag-open-wide","tag-quite-on-the-set","tag-rawhide-away"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31760","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=31760"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31760\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31761,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31760\/revisions\/31761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Climate Change Review 2023<\/h3>\n
