\nJust another year
\nDoesn’t apply here
\nIt’s clear
\nIf you catch my drift
\nKnow what I mean
\nThe scene
\nObscene
\nTipping points tipped
\nFutures ripped
\nGlaciers dripped
\nFeedback tripped
\nDominoes fall
\nMaybe all?
\nTaking it higher
\nFire, fire, fire
\nDeniers and liars
\nFire, fire, fire
\n(There goes my plan, Man
\nDuh! Canada)<\/p>\n
Spectacular year
\nIs what we have right here
\nI fear
\nIf you catch my drift
\nKnow what I mean
\nThe scene
\nObscene
\nTipping points tipped
\nFutures ripped
\nGlaciers dripped
\nFeedback tripped
\nDominoes fall
\nMaybe all?
\nTaking it higher
\nFire, fire, fire
\nDeniers and liars
\nFire, fire, fire
\n(There goes my plan, Man
\nDuh! Canada)<\/p>\n
Oh what a year
\nLet’s hope we hear
\nRight here
\nAnd clear
\nIf you catch my drift
\nKnow what I mean
\nThe scene
\nObscene
\nTipping points tipped
\nFutures ripped
\nGlaciers dripped

\nFire, fire, fire
\nDeniers and liars
\nFire, fire, fire
\nTaking it higher

\nChoke… up in smoke
\nDuh! Canada)<\/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
Daniel ponders, “Hmmmm… I guess that means my plan went up in smoke? My worst case scenario \/ last resort emergency plan was to escape to Canada.”<\/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 From the Christmas album<\/a> of music Merry Christmas!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" LYRICS Just another year Doesn’t apply here It’s clear If you catch my drift Know what I mean The scene Obscene Tipping points tipped Futures ripped Glaciers dripped Feedback tripped Dominoes fall Maybe all?
