(All You Need to Know)
[Spoken Vocal]
You don’t need to read the whole book…
Just watch the pages turn…
(… and you’ll learn…)
[Refrain]
You know
(All you need to know)
Moving fast as the dino
What else do you need to know
(Look out your window)
See how fast we go
(Faster than a dino)
… all you need to know
[Verse 1]
The old Earth keeps a ledger
Written slowly in the stone
Layer after layer
A thousand years to turn a page
Mountains move like sleeping giants
Rivers carve their names
Ice remembers ancient winters
Buried deep beneath the frame
But now the hands are spinning
And the pages start to fly
As the lights are dimming
(… hear the calendar sigh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Look!
(Look outside)
See!
(See the signs)
Slow!
(Way back then)
Fast!
(Past the past.)
[Chorus]
You know
(All you need to know)
The old clock’s running faster
What else do you need to know
(Look out your window)
Watch the river change its frame
(Watch the seasons lose their names)
[Refrain]
You know
(All you need to know)
Moving fast as the dino
What else do you need to know
(Look out your window)
See how fast we go
(Faster than a dino)
… all you need to know
[Verse 2]
Once upon a deeper time
A stone came from the sky
One instant split the story
And the ancient giants died
The world remembers that moment
Like a scar beneath the skin
A flash across the darkness
And the long night closing in
[Pre-Chorus]
No crater
(No need to ask why)
No thunder
(Screaming from the sky)
Just a little more
(A little more)
Until the little becomes folklore
[Chorus]
You know
(All you need to know)
Moving fast as the dino
What else do you need to know
(Look out your window)
See how fast we go
(Faster than a dino)
All you need to know
(All you need to know)
Is watch the hands
(One understands)
[Instrumental]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Expansive, Melodic, Gradually Accelerating; Bass and Drums Build Beneath It; Synth Swells Like a Rising Horizon]
[Bridge]
Deep time
(Deep, deep time)
Human time
(Our time)
We crawled
(Now watch us run)
Coming undone…
[Rap Vocal Break]
Read the rings
Read the rock
Read the ice
Watch the clock
See the window
Look outside
No need to hide
No need to theorize
Watch the coast
Watch the sky
Watch the seasons passing by
The planet isn’t standing still
(We’ve moved ‘er with our freewill)
[Breakdown]
[Music Drops to Acoustic Guitar, Low Piano, Distant Synth]
You know
(All you need to know)
Moving fast like a dyin’ dino
What else do you need to know
(Look out your window)
See how fast we go
(Faster as a dino)
… all you need to know
[Final Refrain]
You know
(All you need to know)
Moving fast as the dino
What else do you need to know
(Look out your window)
See how fast we go
(Faster than a dino)
… all you need to know
All you need to know
(All you need to know)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Acoustic Guitar Arpeggios, Warm Piano, Deep Bass, Distant Electric Guitar, Synth Slowly Accelerating]
Look out your window…
Watch the water…
Watch the sky…
Watch the seasons…
Watch the hands…
Moving…
Moving…
Moving…
[Faint Vocal]
Faster than a dino…
All you need to know.

Human CO2 Climate Change: All You Need to Know
by Daniel Brouse
Human CO2 Climate Change: All You Need to Know
An unprecedented rate of Earth-system change.
The Geological Society of London (the UK’s expert association of professional geologists since 1807) says:
” ….the current speed of human-induced CO2 change and warming is nearly without precedent in the entire geological record, with the only known exception being the instantaneous, meteorite-induced event that caused the extinction of non-bird-like dinosaurs 66 million years ago” (H/T Rocky Rex)
We’ve arrived at a very similar observation in our own work, but I don’t think I’ve seen it stated this clearly—or published elsewhere. Thanks, Rocky, for helping to illuminate it.
Juxtapose the two and let me know whether the comparison can be communicated more effectively.
Multiple climate indicators now point to rates of warming-related disruption far beyond those observed during the modern instrumental era.
There is no well-established geological analog for a sustained, multi-variable, decade-scale pattern of accelerating change across the full Earth system at the resolution available in contemporary observations. If sustained, this may represent one of the most abrupt large-scale climate transitions in Earth’s geological history.
The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment
The climate system is not simply warming—it is changing how it responds to that warming. Coupled climate feedbacks are becoming one of the most consequential dimensions of climate risk in the 21st century because they amplify changes and connect individual tipping-point pathways into larger cascading effects.
The longer warming persists, the more climate feedbacks become active. As these feedbacks interact, we are already observing nonlinear responses, amplification, and cascading impacts across the climate system. Hundreds of feedback mechanisms have been identified, and many can couple and reinforce one another, contributing to the accelerating pace and increasing magnitude of climate change—The Domino Effect.
