LYRICS
\nI hope we live till our story’s told
\nI hope we give with hearts of gold
\nAs for our planet — plan for it
\nPlan for the heat
\nMan’s conceit
\nPlan for the pain
\nViolent rain
\nWhen rain is going to reign
\nAnd poor is going to pour<\/p>\n
I hope we live till our story’s told
\nI hope we give with hearts of gold
\nAs for our planet — plan for it
\nPlan for the rise
\nIn high tide
\nPlan for the drought
\nThere’s no doubt
\nWhen rain is going to reign
\nAnd poor is going to pour<\/p>\n
I hope we live till our story’s told
\nI hope we give with hearts of gold
\nAs for our planet — plan for it
\nPlan for the humidity
\nPlan for lost humanity
\nWhen poor is going to rain
\nAnd reign is going to pour
\nWhen rain is going to reign
\nAnd poor is going to pour<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG “I hope we live till our story’s told<\/b>” — 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) In 2023, we wrote about having crossed tipping points<\/a> in the paper, “Climate Change: How Long Is ‘Ever’?<\/a>“. When we wrote the Tunnel Under Thesis in 1995, we forecast crossing these tipping points would not happen for centuries. We underestimated Man’s ignorance and arrogance. Fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions have continued to set record highs. Humans have caused chain-reactions resulting in toppled tipping points, feedback loops<\/a>, and The Domino Effect<\/a>. “Plan for the pain Violent rain<\/b>” — Multiple factors figure into the physics of violent rain. The starting point is the moisture content of air. The Earth is warming. Warm air can physically hold more water than cool air. The warmer the air the more water vapor the air can hold (i.e. relative humidity). The capacity doubles for every ten degree Celsius warming.<\/p>\n One physical result is more massive raindrops. The Momentum<\/b> of Rain<\/a> is p = mv (p = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity.) Part of the increasing momentum is transferred to the sides and upward increasing wind turbulence, as well as updrafts. Most of the momentum is transferred upon impact. You may notice the rain bouncing higher off the streets and sidewalks. Flowing rainwater will have both increased mass and velocity.<\/p>\n On the ground, concrete, asphalt, solar panels, roofs, plants, animals, houses, and infrastructure will be hit with greater momentum. In the air, the increasing mass of the rain will intensify wind turbulence. Professor Paul D. Williams of the University of Reading, UK, said, “Turbulence is chaotic<\/b> (chaos theory<\/a>). Turbulence is known famously as the hardest problem in physics.” In their study Evidence for Large Increases in Clear-Air Turbulence Over the Past Four Decades<\/a>, Prof. Williams and his team found “Climate change has caused turbulence to double in the last 40 years” and is expected to double or triple again in the next decades.<\/p>\n Mass and velocity are parts of a larger equation that also includes density.The combination of these variables results in an increased intensity of the flow forces<\/b> (i.e. flow dynamics). Wind and water flow forces scale as the square of velocity<\/b>, so as flow speeds increase (say due to more intense heating or heavier rain) the damage scales as the square of the velocity. Look at drag physics<\/b> and you will see that force is proportional to density times square of velocity (v^2).<\/p>\n 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. As flow velocities go up due to climate change, force and damage scale as square of the velocities.<\/b> What Can I Do?<\/strong> LYRICS I hope we live till our story’s told I hope we give with hearts of gold As for our planet — plan for it Plan for the heat Man’s conceit Plan for the pain Violent rain When rain is going to reign And poor is going to pour I hope we live till our […]<\/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":[3937,3939,528,3938],"class_list":["post-31975","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-check-your-temperature","tag-gobsmackingly-bananas","tag-midi","tag-rawhide-ous"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31975","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=31975"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31975\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32004,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31975\/revisions\/32004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
