A SCIENCE NOTE
The record drought and high temperatures observed on October 31, 2024, can be directly linked to the effects of climate change, which amplifies both the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Rising global temperatures driven by increased greenhouse gas emissions are causing prolonged heatwaves and abnormal weather patterns that disrupt natural seasonal cycles and precipitation.

  1. Warming Temperatures and Altered Rain Patterns: Climate change has caused a consistent rise in average temperatures worldwide, with the last decade being the hottest on record. This warming effect increases the atmosphere’s ability to retain moisture, resulting in more intense but often sporadic rainfall. Instead of consistent, moderate rainfall that nourishes soil, we’re seeing longer dry spells followed by extreme precipitation, which contributes to flash floods and soil erosion rather than soil replenishment, exacerbating drought conditionsa Niña and El Niño Disruption**: The natural weather patterns of La Niña and El Niño, which typically balance weather extremes, have become more erratic. This is due to oceanic and atmospheric changes caused by rising global temperatures. In 2024, for instance, the transition from a prolonged La Niña phase to an El Niño exacerbated dry conditions, leading to higher-than-average temperatures and worsened drought. Climate change is affecting these cycles, making extreme weather patterns more frequent and severe .
  2. Soil Moisture Depletion*: High temperatures increase evaporation rates, leading to dry soil and reduced water availability in the environment, which in turn makes the land more susceptible to drought. When soil loses moisture, it reflects more heat back into the atmosphere rather than absorbing it, which intensifies the heat in the area. This positive feedback loop worsens drought conditions and increases surface temperatures, leading to the type of record heat seen in October 2024 .

Without significant action, these intensified droughts and high temperatures will likely become more common as the planet continues to warm.

ABOUT THE SONG
Between April 1 and 4, 2024, Southeastern Pennsylvania experienced another severe weather event attributed to atmospheric rivers and strong winds. Rainfall accumulation exceeded 3 inches, accompanied by wind gusts ranging from 35 to 45 mph. Tragically, two individuals lost their lives in unrelated incidents, one in Montgomery County and the other in Delaware County, when trees collapsed onto their vehicles. Today (Friday April 5) Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York experienced a 4.8 magnitude earthquake. Monday is a total eclipse.

This song, “Biblical Baggage,” delves into the tumultuous and uncertain nature of our times, drawing parallels to events of biblical proportions.

[Verse 1] sets the scene with a sense of urgency, describing a day when natural forces wreak havoc, breaking banks and setting new records.

The [Chorus] captures the chaos and devastation unfolding, likening it to a dam breaking, floods flowing, and the Earth shaking, all while humanity remains oblivious to the impending catastrophe.

[Verse 2] portrays the collective uncertainty and vulnerability in the face of such calamities. The imagery of swaying suggests a lack of stability and the looming threat of being swept away by the relentless tide.

The [Bridge] reflects on the toll exacted by nature’s fury, questioning whether humanity will heed the lessons it presents or face dire consequences.

[Verse 3] paints a picture of the magnitude of the events, labeling them quasi-biblical and highlighting the historical significance of our current state of decay.

The [Outro] brings a sense of foreboding, as the sun is eclipsed by the moon, symbolizing an impending darkness amidst the ongoing turmoil of floods, mudslides, earthquakes, and more.

Overall, “Biblical Baggage” serves as a reflection on the precariousness of our existence in the face of natural disasters and the urgent need for awareness and action in the midst of escalating environmental crises.

ABOUT THE SCIENCE
Human-induced climate change is a complex element within a dynamic and interconnected chaotic system. When coupled with other natural phenomena such as earthquakes or solar eclipses, the convergence of factors can create overwhelming compounding effects. Climate change is primarily driven by the escalation of thermal energy affecting biogeophysical and socio-economic systems. While biogeophysical factors can be studied using math, physics, and historical records, socio-economic systems pose greater challenges due to the unpredictable consequences of human behavior and inexplicable consumer choices, exacerbating tipping points and feedback loops.

The Age of Loss and Damage is a new way of thinking about economics by combining economics, climate science, statistics, and physics. Until now, economic models have been unfit to capture the full extent of climate damage. Traditionally, “integrated assessment models” (IAMs) were used to forecast “shock” events. IAMs use “quadratic function” to calculate GDP losses by squaring the temperature change, yet ignore other methods (such as the exponential function) that are better suited for rapid change. “Climate change is fundamentally different to other shocks because once it has hit, it doesn’t go away,” said Thierry Philipponnat, author of a report by Finance Watch, a Brussels-based public interest NGO on financial issues. “And if the fundamental assumption is flawed, all the rest makes little sense — if any.”

Drip, Drip, Destroy

Hard rock song about a leaking roof. The Momentum of Rain is p = mv (p = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity.)

[Verse]
Roof is leaking, water’s seeping through the cracks
Drip, drip, drip, it’s falling down my back
I can’t escape this constant reminder of the rain
Gotta fix it now, before it drives me insane

[Verse 2]
Every drop hits the floor like a pounding drum
Drip, drip, drip, it’s a battle I can’t outrun
I’m soaked, I’m drenched, can’t you see my plight?
Gonna tear it down, gonna fight this fight

[Chorus]
Drip, drip, destroy, it’s tearing me apart
This leaking roof is breaking my heart
Gonna scream, gonna shout, gonna make it right
Drip, drip, destroy, gonna win this fight

The moisture
Starts taking shape
For sure
Shape of a cloud
We think
Out loud
Out loud
So proud
(How loud? Hubris us proud)
Is cumulonimbus a reflection on us
Inability to sustain
Brings on violent rain
As silent remain
Under violent rain
Under violent reign
(No fun dancing in the violent rain)

Climate of Chaos

An aggressive hard rock song about: Human-induced climate change is a dynamic component of an intricate and unordered system, as per chaos theory. Global warming is accelerating exponentially. Our climate model uses chaos theory in an attempt to adequately account for humans and forecasts a global average temperature increase of 9 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Everybody has the responsibility not to pollute. There are plenty of things you can do to help save the planet. Stop using fossil fuels. Consume less. Love more. Here is a list of additional actions you can take.

[Verse]
In a world of chaos, where systems intertwine
A symphony of disorder, a dance of time
Human-induced changes, a web of destruction
Global warming accelerating, no time for reflection (oh-yeah)

[Verse 2]
The ice caps are melting, the oceans are rising
Species are dying, can’t you see it’s terrifying?
We’re playing with fire, but the flames keep getting higher
We need to wake up, before it’s too late to retire (yeah!)

[Chorus]
Can’t you see the chaos unfolding? (oh-oh)
Global warming, the world is exploding
We’re facing a crisis, it’s time to take action (take action)
Climate of chaos, it’s a chain reaction

Violent Rain

An intense hard rock song about: Sidd said, Now I am thinking the violent rain will be a bigger problem before we die. Flow velocities go up due to climate change, Force and damage = square of the velocities.
— from The Reign of Violent Rain / Brouse and Mukherjee (2023)

[Verse]
Sidd said, “Now I’m thinking, the violent rain will be a bigger problem”
Before we die, we’re caught in the eye of the storm
Flow velocities go up, all because of climate change
Force and damage, it’s the square of the velocities

[Verse 2]
Dark clouds roll in, thunder cracks in the sky
We’re running from the storm, but there’s nowhere to hide
Drenched in fear, we feel the chaos closing in
The violence of the rain, it’s a battle we can’t win

[Chorus]
Violent rain, it’s pouring down on us (pouring down on us)
Tearing through, leaving destruction in its wake (in its wake)
We try to escape, but it’s too late (but it’s too late)
The power of the storm, it’s a force we can’t break

Quantum Leap

A heavy, hard rock song: chaos theory The Butterfly Effect a small change can result in a quantum leap. Be a butterfly and affect the world. The Butterfly Effect illustrates that a small change in one area can lead to significant alterations in conditions anywhere on the globe. Hence, the frequently heard statement that a fluttering butterfly in China can cause a hurricane in the Atlantic.

[Verse]
In the realm of chaos, a butterfly takes flight
With every flutter, causing ripples in the night (night)
No one knows the power, waiting to ignite
A small change can lead to a world of might

[Verse 2]
From the ashes rise the giants, the fire starts to burn
A quantum leap in motion, the world begins to turn
With the power of a whisper, they’ll feel the heat
A revolution rising, defeat is not a retreat

[Chorus]
Be the butterfly, spread your wings and fly (fly, fly, fly)
A small change can cause a storm, reach for the sky (yeah, yeah, yeah)
In the chaos lies the power, waiting to be unfurled (unfurled)
The butterfly effect, watch as it changes the world (the world, the world)

Acceleration

Hard rock song: Tipping points and feedback loops impact the rate of climate change acceleration. Crossing multiple tipping points results in the Domino Effect.

[Verse]
Drowning in the silence, screaming in dismay
As the world spins faster, spiraling away (away)
Tipping points and feedback loops, the danger now revealed
Crossing the line of no return, the climate’s fate is sealed

[Verse 2]
Domino effect, the earth in disarray
Turbulent skies of chaos, never-ending fray (fray)
Like a runaway train, the acceleration’s strong
As we witness the destruction, we know we did it wrong

[Chorus]
Accelerate, accelerate, the world’s on fire
Tipping points and feedback loops, the flames grow higher
The domino effect, crashing one by one
In this race against time, will we come undone?

Tempest of Change

Hard rock song: Extreme Weather when energy is added to a system, fluctuations increase. What we are saying is weather conditions will become more volatile due to the impact of humans.
— from The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment

[Verse]
Thunder rolling, lightning strikes the sky
The winds are howling, chaos fills the air (yeah)
Energy surging, nature’s fury unleashed
The tempest of change, a force we can’t repair (whoa-ooh)

[Verse 2]
Raging storms, tornadoes spinning wild
Heatwaves scorching, oceans rising high (oh-yeah)
Humans disrupt the delicate balance
Fluctuations surge, weather intensified (woah-oh)

[Chorus]
Extreme weather, a cry of nature’s rage (yeah, yeah)
Unleashing power that humans can’t contain (ooh-yeah)
Impact of our actions, consequences clear (clear, yeah)
Weather’s volatility, a warning we should hear

Unordered Chaos

Hard rock song: The Age of Loss and Damage humans experience greater loss and damage to life. Anthropogenic climate change is an exponential component of an unordered system (chaos theory).

[Verse]
In the age of loss and damage, we’re drowning in despair
Anthropogenic climate change, the chaos that we bear
Exponential destruction, our world in disarray
Searching for a solution, will we find a way?

[Verse 2]
The Earth is screaming out, its cries fall on deaf ears
As temperatures rise, we fuel our own fears
The storms intensify, the fires rage on
We’re living in a nightmare, with no place to belong

[Chorus]
Unordered chaos, the price we pay
The consequence of our actions, won’t go away (no way)
Can we break this cycle, can we make a change?
Or will we be consumed by the chaos we arrange?

What is the peril
With all of this?
Risk to life
Risk to limb
Bringing strife
To who I am
Taking life
From who I am

Vector-borne disease
Under a scorching breeze
Dying of thirst
As hopes are coerced

Loss of the trees
No more gentle breeze
Extremes abound
Dreams shattered, ground

Loss of home
Forever to roam
Refugee’s fate
A self-imposed state

Intensified rain
Reigning severity’s pain
Water refuses to drain
Sustaining sanity becomes a strain

Hazard, threat, jeopardy
High-risk probability
Time hangs on the line
Under constant alarms of harm
Susceptible to vulnerability
In debt, regretting the threat

Ignite the World

Hard rock anthem: Climate change: — each person bears the responsibility to minimize pollution, discontinue the use of fossil fuels, reduce consumption, and foster a culture of love and care. Climate change is primarily driven by the escalation of thermal energy affecting biogeophysical and socio-economic systems. While biogeophysical factors can be studied using math, physics, and historical records, socio-economic systems pose greater challenges due to the unpredictable consequences of human behavior and inexplicable consumer choices, exacerbating tipping points and feedback loops.

[Verse]
In a world of fire, burning so bright
We gotta rise up, we gotta make it right
The earth is calling, can’t you feel the pain?
It’s time to stand up, we won’t be the same

[Chorus]
Ignite the world, let’s make a change (make a change)
Together we can rearrange (rearrange)
In our hearts, we hold the key (hold the key)
To a future that’s clean and free

[Verse 2]
No more pollution, no more wasting time
We gotta act now, leave the past behind
With renewable energy, we’ll pave the way
For a world where love and care will always stay

Earthquake of the Ages

Hard rock song about the rate of climate change, so much change so rapidly, volatile, extreme, mind-blowing, gobsmackingly bananas.

Dr. Caroline Holmes of the British Antarctic Survey (an expert on Antarctic sea-ice) said, “What we’re seeing right now is so far outside what we’ve observed previously. We expected change but I don’t think we expected so much change so rapidly.”

Some areas of the world are now warming so fast, it is becoming more difficult to measure the change from “normal” or average. Jeff Boyne, National Weather Service meteorologist and climatologist, said, “There are climate normals that are updated every 10 to 15 years, because the planet is warming so fast. The ENSO (El Nino-Southern Oscillation) regions are warming so fast that those normals are being updated every 5 years.”

“It’s so far outside anything we’ve seen, it’s almost mind-blowing,” says Walter Meier, who monitors sea-ice with the National Snow and Ice Data Center. “September was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist, absolutely gobsmackingly bananas,” said Zeke Hausfather, at the Berkeley Earth climate data project.”

[Verse]
Fire and ice, the Earth collides
Mountains crumble, the ocean tides
Nature’s fury, it’s hard to believe
The planet’s screaming, won’t you perceive?

[Verse 2]
Volcanic eruptions, the land ablaze
Melting glaciers, a haunting chase
Hurricanes swirling, tempestuous force
Climate’s shifting, off its course

[Chorus]
Mind-blowing, gobsmackingly bananas
The rate of change, it’s causing trauma
Volatile and extreme, this Earthquake of the Ages
Can we find a way to turn the pages?

Solid Ground

Hard rock song about the erosion and the hardness of rock under our feet, granite, glacial till, limestone bedrock, karst terrain, or carbonate rock. Violent Rain and the Substrate: The basic question is what is the substrate? Sea level rise of 1 meter in Maine means the sea goes up to the top line that is currently 1 meter above the sea (we are ignoring tides) and that’s it for thousands of years. That is because Maine is made out of granite. Sea level rise of 1 meter along Cape Cod, which is glacial till, means that the sea will erode horizontally many many meters. In fact, Cape Cod is a dead-peninsula walking, even given pre-AGW sea level rise. It will all wash away eventually, except any rocky bits of bedrock that might be there (but they aren’t there AFIK.) So, given that, yes, storms come in to play. The rate of erosion of Cap Cod, to continue with that example, accelerated in about 1979, due to increased severe coastal storms. What happens to a given floodplain will depend totally on local conditions.

[Verse]
In this cold world, I search for something real
But all I find are facades, just surface appeal (appeal)
I’m walkin’ on rocks that have weathered the test
Their silent strength, a testament to what is best (yeah)

[Verse 2]
Behind the cracks, there lies a story untold
The scars they bear, each one a battle unfold (unfold)
Granite veins run deep beneath the ground
Unyielding and unbreakable, forever profound (oh-yeah)

[Chorus]
Solid ground beneath my feet (yeah)
Eroding, eroding but never retreat (ooh-yeah)
Through glacial till and limestone bedrock, I stand tall
On karst terrain, this world can’t make me fall (fall)

Barren Lands

Hard rock song: Soil degradation, through erosion, loss of organic matter, and reduced water retention, cause desertification. The earth’s climate is nonlinear and teleconnected. Global warming is caused by an increase in thermal energy in the climate system. The Earth is a climate system. Many subsystems make up our climate. Chaos theory emphasizes the complexity and nonlinearity of dynamic systems, and this complexity is inherent in the interactions between soil, atmosphere, and oceans in the Earth’s climate system.

[Verse]
The soil is dying, the earth is crying
Erosion takes its toll, as the winds are flying
Lost in the desert, a landscape unforgiving
Barren lands surround, no hope for the living

[Verse 2]
Organic matter, once rich and thriving
Reduced to ashes, in the desert it’s striving
Water retention, a thing of the past
The dry lands expand, the future is cast

[Chorus]
A world in decay, it’s slipping away (slipping away)
Desertification, the price we must pay (we must pay)
The climate is nonlinear, teleconnected we stand
Barren lands, the mark of man’s hand (yeah!)

ABOUT THE SCIENCE
As the sea levels rise, how far “inland” might we see salinization of fresh water? Is it possible saltwater could infiltrate the Great Lakes?

 

  • Lake Superior has an elevation of 600 feet above (current) sea level and a depth of 1,332 feet.
  • Lake Ontario is 243 feet above sea level with a depth of 802 feet.

The Great Lakes

Greg Laden (an archaeologist who has worked extensively in coastal zones) replied:
Would not reach the Great lakes, but with a little erosion, the Hudson, Lake Champlain, and the St. Lawrence could become contiguous, so New England becomes an Island.

Daniel Brouse:
I am particularly interested in the Kennebecasis River (a tributary of the Saint John River in southern New Brunswick, Canada.) Do you have any thoughts on this process, in particular, the changing topography caused by extreme rain events? You can kind-of imagine Eastern and Western North America as giant beaches with ever increasing atmospheric waves splashing down on us. The Gulf Coast will be hit from both sides. We to see increasing intensity and/or frequency in a wide variety of violent rain events including: downpours, flooding, hurricanes, cyclones, monsoons, coastal flooding, storm surges, lightning and wildfires, hail, extreme wind, and concurrent extremes. The reign of violent rain has already begun. More hillsides and shorelines are collapsing. Atmospheric rivers are dramatically increasing flash flooding in the Northeastern USA. Worldwide, stormwater systems are becoming overwhelmed. Ironically, the streets of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, UAE, flooded days before the COP28 Climate Conference. Nowhere is safe from violent rain, not even in the desert preparing for a UN meeting on the climate crisis. As a result of increasing violent rain, new drainage culverts are forming. Eventually, the culverts will transform into recurring streams, carving new canyons, creating new landscapes and islands. Increased wildfires and landslides will transform topography. At the same time as the violent rain makes its way to the sea, the sea is rising to meet the violent rain. What do you think will happen to the floodplains in North America?

Greg Laden:
I have many thoughts on this, and this has been part of my research and study for a very long time, having done coastal archaeology in North America, etc. The basic question is what is the substrate? Sea level rise of 1 meter in Maine means the sea goes up to the top line that is currently 1 meter above the sea (we are ignoring tides) and that’s it for thousands of years. That is because Maine is made out of granite. Sea level rise of 1 meter along Cape Cod, which is glacial till, means that the sea will erode horizontally many many meters. In fact, Cape Cod is a dead-peninsula walking, even given pre-AGW sea level rise. It will all wash away eventually, except any rocky bits of bedrock that might be there (but they aren’t there AFIK.) So, given that, yes, storms come in to play. The rate of erosion of Cap Cod, to continue with that example, accelerated in about 1979, due to increased severe coastal storms. What happens to a given floodplain will depend totally on local conditions. Many of our floodplains are not that often flooded, especially in glacial zones where they are filled up, and lower reaches of the giant rivers, and there is a lot of infrastructure in place that will initially control things.

Daniel Brouse:
You might be interested in King of Prussia and Plymouth Meeting, PA. The train derailment in Plymouth Meeting (July 17, 2023) was caused by extreme rainfall and flash flooding that resulted in sinkholes developing in the carbonate rock under the railroad tracks. In July and December of 2023, extreme rainfall resulted in sinkholes being exposed in the carbonate rock under Route 202 in King of Prussia, PA. I guess this is part of the local substrate conditions that vary widely from location to location.

(Verse 1)
In the realm of nature’s laws, we find our place,
As humans alter the world, at a rapid pace.
Newton’s second law, it rings so true,
As we increase the energy, our actions accrue.

(Chorus)
Force equals mass times acceleration,
In this world of change, our transformation.
From rising seas to violent rain,
The damage grows, with every gain.

(Verse 2)
Acceleration formula, it holds the key,
To understand the changes, that we now see.
As data reveals, a doubling trend,
In climate’s grip, we must contend.

(Chorus)
Force equals mass times acceleration,
In this world of change, our transformation.
From rising seas to violent rain,
The damage grows, with every gain.

(Bridge)
The rate of acceleration, it’s on the rise,
As sea levels climb, under ominous skies.
From 100 years to a mere 10,
The doubling period, shortens again.

(Verse 3)
The reign of violent rain, it sweeps the land,
As we alter the climate, with our human hand.
The damage mounts, with every storm,
As acceleration’s force takes form.

(Chorus)
Force equals mass times acceleration,
In this world of change, our transformation.
From rising seas to violent rain,
The damage grows, with every gain.

(Outro)
So heed the warning, in nature’s call,
For the force we wield, impacts us all.
In the equation of life, let’s find our grace,
And navigate the changes, with wisdom and pace.

ABOUT THE SCIENCE
By increasing the energy in the system, humans have increased flow volumes, masses and velocities leading to increased damage (and deaths.)

Newton’s second law: F = m * a
F = force
m = mass of an object
a = acceleration

Acceleration Formula

ALSO SEE
Climate Change: Rate of Acceleration
By 2020, there was enough data to see the “doubling period” of some anthropogenic climate affects had gone from 100 years to 10 years. For instance the rate of sea level rise has gone from about 1.5 millimeters per year to over 3 millimeters. We expect to see the doubling period to continue to shrink raising the possibility of sea levels rising a foot/year by 2050.

Turbulence, it’s on the rise,
In wind and water, where chaos lies.
From Lahaina’s flames to Norway’s floods,
Turbulence, it shakes our blood.

(Verse 2)
Maui’s wildfire, a scene of despair,
Fanned by winds, hurricane’s flare.
Streets ablaze, with scorching heat,
As Lahaina’s heart, faced defeat.

(Chorus)
Turbulence, it’s on the rise,
In wind and water, where chaos lies.
From Lahaina’s flames to Norway’s floods,
Turbulence, it shakes our blood.

(Bridge)
Flashpoints ignite, with a fiery blast,
As people flee, into the ocean vast.
But water, too, joins in the fray,
With waves that tear, and claim their way.

(Verse 3)
Norway’s floods, a tale of woe,
As dams burst open, the waters flow.
Homes washed away, in torrents wild,
As nature’s fury, leaves hearts beguiled.

(Chorus)
Turbulence, it’s on the rise,
In wind and water, where chaos lies.
From Lahaina’s flames to Norway’s floods,
Turbulence, it shakes our blood.

(Outro)
In the dance of chaos, we find our plight,
Turbulence grows, with all its might.
But in the face of turmoil, we’ll stand tall,
For together, we’ll weather, through it all.

ABOUT THE SCIENCE
Turbulence
Professor Paul D. Williams of the University of Reading, UK, said, “They are chaotic. 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, 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.

Update — Climate change’s influence on wind and water flow forces caused more severe damage and deaths. The Maui wildfire of August 2023 is an example. What would have been a fairly routine wildfire was fanned out-of-control by hurricane force winds. One headline read, “Maui fires: Hawaii blazes fanned by Hurricane Dora”. Another headline read, “Hawaii wildfires kill as ‘apocalypse’ hits Maui island”. The New York Times reported, “Gov. Josh Green of Hawaii said on Thursday that the devastating wildfires that swept through western Maui and killed at least 55 people, and possibly many more, were ‘likely the largest natural disaster in Hawaii state history.'”

Both wind and water flow forces contributed to the devastation. Hurricane Dora was at least 500 miles from Hawaii yet the wind forces impacted the fire in Maui. The winds were so strong that before the fire reached Lahaina extremely hot air blew over the town. The streets were so hot they burnt people’s feet trying to flee. The surface of everything became hot. Even after people jumped into the ocean, they said the debris in the water was too hot to float on. Almost all the boats in the harbor burned.

The blast of hot air over Lahaina created the conditions for a flashpoint. A flashpoint is the temperature at which a particular organic compound gives off sufficient vapor to ignite in air. The entire town ignited so quickly that warning sirens could not be activated and people did not have time to escape.

In an unexpected twist, water flow forces also contributed to the chaos. How could water flow add to the fire emergency conditions? When people fled the heat and fire, they jumped into the sea. ABC news reported: Shawn Dougherty, of Lahaina, was among the hundreds of residents forced to flee the resort city when the wildfire began engulfing their homes.

Like others, Dougherty said his only means of survival was to jump into the ocean with his girlfriend, but while some found safety in nearby jetties, the rocks and coral tore up Dougherty’s body.

“At one point, it seemed like I might drown,” he told ABC News. “I’m a good swimmer, but the water was just really rough because of the wind and the turbulence.”

Norway Floods 2023

Also in August of 2023, climate change’s influence on water flow forces caused more severe damage and deaths. AccuWeather reported, “Dam bursts open as deadly flooding washes away homes in Norway. Torrents of water gushed through multiple towns across Norway and landslides cascaded down mountainsides after a deluge drenched Norway.”

(Verse 1)
In the whirlwind of change, we find our fate,
Force proportional, contemplate.
Density times velocity, squared in air,
The drag equation, tells us what’s there.

(Chorus)
Velocity squared, a powerful force,
In the wind water’s relentless course.
As climate shifts, and speeds increase,
The damage grows, without release.

(Verse 2)
A ten-mile breeze, seems gentle and mild,
But square that velocity, see it compiled.
Twenty miles an hour, brings four times the might,
And as it doubles, the force takes flight.

(Chorus)
Velocity squared, a powerful force,
In the wind and water’s relentless course.
As climate shifts, and speeds increase,
The damage grows, without release.

(Bridge)
Water denser than air, eight hundredfold,
The force of its flow, a story untold.
As rivers rage and oceans churn,
The drag equation, we must discern.

(Verse 3)
Floods and storms, they testify,
To the power of force, as they amplify.
Sewage systems crumble, hillsides succumb,
As velocity rises, the damage becomes numb…
Damn-age becomes numb

(Chorus)
Velocity squared, a powerful force,
In the wind and water’s relentless course.
As climate shifts, and speeds increase,
The damage grows, without release.

(Outro)
So heed the lesson, the drag equation’s call,
In the face of change, we must stand tall.
For as velocities rise, and forces collide,
The future’s in our hands, where hope resides.

ABOUT THE SCIENCE
ChatGBT co-authored the lyrics utilizing this part of a research paper:
You will see that force is proportional to density times square of velocity (v^2)

The Drag Equation
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. So as flow velocities go up due to climate change, force and damage scale as square of the velocities. What is not clear is how much these velocities increase with climate change. But in a sense we are seeing this already as, for example, flood and sewage systems succumb and hillsides fall down, and so on.

LYRICS
(Verse 1)
Autumn whispers of a world unbound,
Where ice sheets crumble, no solace found.
Greenland’s tears, West Antarctica’s cries,
As melting shores meet relentless skies.

(Chorus)
What will become of our habitat’s plight?
As boiling tides rise, eclipsing the night.
Violent rain pounds, carving new streams,
As Earth’s fever rises, in feverish dreams.

(Verse 2)
Copernicus speaks of mind-bending heat,
As nations tremble, beneath nature’s beat.
Assets crumble, harvests fade away,
In the relentless heat of a changing day.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
A 1.5-degree leap, a world ablaze,
Urgency screams, in a desperate haze. (World ablaze)
As violent rain reigns, across the land, (Understand?)
The future’s cast by an unforgiving hand. (ComprehEND?)

(Verse 3)
Hillsides crumble, shorelines drown in dread,
As violent rain reigns, upon our heads.
Deserts flood, in defiance of sky,
As the world grapples with a climactic goodbye.
(Chorus)
(Outro)
In the wake of chaos, and uncertainty’s stare,
We must unite, in a world laid bare.
As the seas rise, and the storms rage on,
We’ll face the challenges, until the dawn.

ABOUT THE SONG
The above lyrics are a collaboration with ChatGBT. The song was composed using the information under “ABOUT THE SCIENCE” that was written by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee.

ABOUT THE SCIENCE
By the Autumn of 2023, it had become evident the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets will completely melt. The process is irreversible and inevitable. What can Earthlings expect to happen to their habitat?

The most rapid sea level rise.

In The Reign of Violent Rain, Sidd said, “Now I am thinking the violent rain will be a bigger problem before we die… still thinking it through. In the long run, yes, sea level rise will hit big. If you look at the history, it is episodic, and in the fast bits it can go up 3 feet every twenty years for five hundred years (See MWP-1A in fig. 3, supplement). But, the rain intensity is increasing faster today, and drainage cannot cope, whether in the city or out, culverts and such put in over the last hundred years cannot handle. So, I am paying a lot of attention to terrain and drainage far inland from the seacoast (like Ohio.)

In the paper, Sea level and global ice volumes from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene, Kurt Lambeck states, “The major cause of sea-level change during ice ages is the exchange of water between ice and ocean and the planet’s dynamic response to the changing surface load.”

On November 20, 2023, the UN’s Emission Gap Report found even if countries carried out their current emissions-reduction pledges, the world would likely continuously exceed +3C degrees of warming this century. Later that day, the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative released State of the Cryosphere Report 2023 saying, “Two degrees is too high. Our message — the message of the Cryosphere — is that this insanity cannot and must not continue. The melting point of ice pays no attention to rhetoric, only to our actions.”

What does this mean about our current human induced climate change?
1) We should expect to see rising sea levels.
2) Approximately half of the current sea level rise is due to thermal expansion. As water gets warmer, it expands. NASA says, “About half of the measured global sea level rise on Earth is from warming waters and thermal expansion.”
3) There is a very complex set of climate systems impacted by sea level rise. The shape of the Earth is changing and speeding up as ice from the poles melts and is drawn toward the equator through centrifugal and gravitational forces, as well as, glacial isostatic adjustment. A study published in Geophysical Research Letters of the American Geophysical Union suggests that global warming has led to significant melting of glaciers due to which our planet’s axis of rotation has been moving faster since the 1990s.

All of this has a great impact on our weather. The rain intensity is increasing faster today than ever known. The cool water from the melting ice at the poles is being drawn toward the center of the Earth and getting warmed to record high temperatures. The warm, moist air is circulating and moving over land. These changes in climate systems will cause other areas to experience unprecedented drought. The Amazon River and the Panama Canal recorded their lowest water levels on record during 2023.

What do we expect to happen?
The Long Run
Long run sea level rise New Jersey Coast

We expect sea level rise will total about 270 feet over the next several millennia. In 1998, the State of New Jersey published Sea Level Rise in New Jersey with a depiction of the Statue of Liberty with 270 feet in sea level rise.

In the last melting of the glacial maximum, the first 500 years saw a “pulse” of high rate sea level rise of about 500 years duration resulting in about a 66 foot rise in sea levels.

A high rate of sea-level rise starting at ∼14.5 ka BP of ∼500 y duration. The onset occurs at the start of the Bølling−Allerød warm period. Its duration could be <500 y because of uncertainties in chronology, and the globally averaged rise in sea level of ∼20 m occurs at a rate of ∼40 mm⋅y−1 or greater. This pulse, MWP-1A, has been identified separately in the records of Barbados, Sunda , and Tahiti. Spatial variation in its amplitude can be expected because of the planet’s elastic and gravitational response to rapid unloading of ice in either or both of the two hemispheres with, based on the ice−earth models used here, model-predicted values ranging from ∼14 m for Barbados to ∼20 m for Tahiti. This compares with observational values of ∼15–20 m for Barbados and 12–22 m for Tahiti. Observational uncertainties remain large, including differences in the timing of this event as recorded at the different localities, and it is not possible from this evidence to ascertain the relative importance of the contribution of the two hemispheres to MWP-1A.

We expect to see a similar pattern in the long run.

Our estimate of 270 feet is based on “the safe” elevation to live — high-tides, waves, coastal flooding, storm surge, grade of shoreline, etc. would make the lowest elevations for living space to be at least 270 feet above pre-industrial sea levels. This would be the minimum elevation. Personally, I would not want to live that low. As the water submerges sewage treatment plants, landfills, chickens, cows, and all sorts of other bio-hazards, the waters will become toxic. In addition, much of the land will experience salinization making it unfit for plant life. Another concern for elevations under 800 feet is living on an island. Many locations at lower elevations will become isolated. Living on an island has many problems including fresh water, food, shelter, and healthcare. Security from pirates pilfering, raping, and plundering will likely be the overriding concern. Of course, I don’t expect that to happen for millennia, but I hope government planners do plan for it now. If you look at Florida as an example, parts of the coastline have seen sea levels rise over 14-20 feet in the last decade. Although the storm surge was only for hours, you wouldn’t want to live there during those hours. Not to mention, the frequency of these extreme weather events will rise exponentially. Thus, our recommendation to evacuate Florida now (i.e. Managed Retreat). The billions of dollars spent to rebuild after Hurricane Ida will all be for naught. Allowing building there will needlessly endanger property and lives. Parts of the world have already seen storm surges of 40 feet. I expect most North American coastlines will see sea levels rise, if only temporarily, by 20-40 feet this century. As far as long run sea level rise, much will depend on location, gravity, isostatic adjustment, and thermal expansion. If the ocean temperatures get warm enough (thermal expansion), parts of the world may see sea levels rise to 270 feet for long periods of times. Other parts of the world, like Greenland, may actually see sea levels decline. In any event, the Earth crossed tipping points this decade which make extreme sea level rise inevitable and irreversible in our lifetimes. Planners should plan on it.

Sidd reiterated, “That 270 feet will take a long time. I would be more careful about the violent rain than the ice melt.”

INTERPRETATION OF SCIENCE AND SONG
This song paints a vivid picture of the devastating effects of climate change, using powerful imagery and emotive language to convey the urgency of the crisis.

In the opening verse, the imagery of autumn whispers and crumbling ice sheets sets the tone for a world in turmoil. The tears of Greenland and West Antarctica symbolize the profound grief of the natural world as it faces destruction at the hands of humanity.

The chorus poses a haunting question about the fate of our habitat, as boiling tides rise and violent rain carves new streams. The repetition of “Earth’s fever rises” emphasizes the escalating nature of the crisis and the urgent need for action.

Verse 2 introduces the scientific perspective, with references to Copernicus and the mind-bending heat felt around the world. The imagery of crumbling assets and fading harvests highlights the real-world consequences of climate change on communities and economies.

The bridge amplifies the sense of urgency, describing a world ablaze with a 1.5-degree leap in temperature. The imagery of violent rain reigning across the land underscores the destructive power of extreme weather events driven by climate change.

Verse 3 continues the theme of destruction, with hillsides crumbling and shorelines drowning under the onslaught of violent rain. The defiance of deserts flooding speaks to the unpredictability and chaos unleashed by climate change.

The outro leaves listeners with a sense of determination in the face of uncertainty, urging unity in the face of the challenges ahead. The imagery of rising seas and raging storms underscores the magnitude of the crisis, while also hinting at the resilience of humanity in the face of adversity.

Overall, this song serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need for action on climate change, drawing on both scientific knowledge and emotive storytelling to convey the gravity of the situation.

Oh, I see… the irony
In being me
Rationality
Surrounded by humanity
Somethings you just can’t “let be”
Forging reality into destiny
You’ve got me in stitches
Too big for your britches
Of course, if thrown from the horse
Plow on until I hit the stride
… of ride… or better yet
You know… into the flow
Then, swim
Being him
Out of “out on a limb”
Swim
With the current
In the present
