The first verse describes the denier as someone who is consumed by their own ego and unable to comprehend the severity of the situation. They are depicted as having a &#8220;listening deficit&#8221; and living in a self-imposed bubble of ignorance.<\/p>\n<p>Despite overwhelming evidence, the denier adamantly rejects the truth, dismissing climate change as &#8220;a bunch of lies&#8221; and choosing to ignore the signs of environmental degradation. Meanwhile, the planet suffers, with rising temperatures and sea levels symbolized by &#8220;the rising tides and heat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the second verse, the song emphasizes the denier&#8217;s willful ignorance and avoidance of reality. Metaphorically, their &#8220;head&#8217;s buried in the sand,&#8221; indicating a refusal to confront the truth. While the world faces unprecedented challenges, the denier remains steadfast in their denial, contributing to the worsening state of the planet.<\/p>\n<p>The song serves as a poignant commentary on the damaging impact of climate change denial and the urgent need for collective action to address the crisis before it&#8217;s too late.<\/p>\n<h2>From the album &#8220;Fingers in My Ears&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/Listening-Deficit.html\">Listening Deficit<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/MegaEpix-Enormous\/\">MegaEpix Enormous<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/\">A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denying-the-Heat.mp3 Denying-the-Heat.mp4 [Verse] He&#8217;s a climate change denier With a skull full of fire Blinded by his ego Can&#8217;t see the world&#8217;s getting dire Got a listening deficit Ain&#8217;t hearing no facts Living in a bubble Ignorance is his only act He&#8217;s screaming out loud &#8220;It&#8217;s all a bunch of lies!&#8221; Turns a blind eye [&hellip;]<\/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":[3,9,12,14,3955],"tags":[163,3961,546,563],"class_list":["post-33952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-4d-music","category-daniel","category-listening-deficit","category-lyrics","category-megaepix-enormous","tag-climate-change","tag-fingers-in-my-ears","tag-mp4","tag-music-videos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33952","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=33952"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33952\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33958,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33952\/revisions\/33958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
