LYRICS
\nWe’re leaking gas
\n(Leaking gas in mass)
\nThis can not last
\n(Better do something… do something fast)
\nIt will not pass
\nIt’ll linger and trigger our class
\nBreakdown of order
\nSocial decay
\nCrossing the border
\nEnter dismay
\nSoothsayers and prayers save the day
\nNo way?<\/p>\n
Fouling the air
\n(Just look up there)
\nFueling despair
\n(Just poke… rile the bear)
\nIt will not pass
\nIt’ll linger and trigger our class
\nBreakdown of order
\nSocial decay
\nCrossing the border
\nEnter dismay
\nSoothsayers and prayers save the day
\nNo way?<\/p>\n
Spewing out fumes
\n(Does an ass assume)
\nBegging for doom
\n(Our future looms)
\nIt will not pass
\nIt’ll linger and trigger our class
\nBreakdown of order
\nSocial decay
\nCrossing the border
\nEnter dismay
\nSoothsayers and prayers save the day
\nNo way?<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nHow are humans leaking greenhouse gases and how long do the gases stay in the atmosphere?<\/p>\n
Humans contribute to the release of greenhouse gases through various activities, primarily related to the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial processes, and certain agricultural practices. Here are some major sources:<\/p>\n
As for the longevity of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, it varies depending on the specific gas. Here are some approximate lifetimes:<\/p>\n
Human induced climate change is an exponential component<\/a> of an unordered system (chaos theory<\/a>).<\/strong> That means global warming is accelerating at a rapid rate in a complex way<\/a>.<\/p>\n What now?<\/b> The Earth will exceed 1.5\u2103 (average global surface temperature over the surface of the earth for ten years) by the 2040’s and a societal collapse will ensue<\/b>. For the most part, the Earth will be uninhabitable for humans by 2070 UNLESS immediate action is taken. UPDATE<\/b>: Since writing this in 2021, there is enough data to conclude 1.5\u2103 will be breached a decade earlier. In October 2023, the Imperial College of London published a study that concludes 1.5\u2103 will be reached by 2030<\/a> at our current rate of emissions. The average temperature for 2023 was +1.4\u2103 with September’s average +1.7\u2103 and parts of July at +3\u2103.

\nFrom 2016-2022, this section was dedicated to hope and optimism; however, 2021 was a record year for greenhouse gas emissions. Then in 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine creating a global energy security crisis. Most countries chose to increase greenhouse gas emissions even further. Therefore, there is little to no hope. Currently, we have crossed the tipping point<\/a> when human induced climate change triggers a chain reaction of feedback loops. In 2022, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) insisted there is “no credible pathway to 1.5\u2103 in place.”<\/a><\/p>\n
