A SCIENCE NOTE
The Past, Present, and Future of Climate Change
We first developed the hypothesis of the non-linear acceleration of climate change in the 1990s. By the early 2000s, this hypothesis evolved into established climate theory, now widely accepted as scientific fact. My lab partner, a Doctor of Physics from Ohio State, and I collaborated to provide crucial evidence supporting this theory. Over time, we have observed a significant shift in the doubling time of climate change impacts — the rate at which the effects intensify. Initially, the doubling time was approximately 100 years, but it has since decreased to 10 years, and more recently, to just 2 years.

This trend means that the damage caused by climate change today is double what it was two years ago, and in two more years, it could be four times worse. Unfortunately, this rapid acceleration does not appear to be an anomaly, especially given the record-breaking events we’ve witnessed this year, even during the typically cooler La Nina phase. If this trajectory continues, the outcomes will be far more catastrophic than previously expected.

bookmark_borderA Sad Song

[Verse 1]
Walking down the sidewalk, day after the storm,
I found a little bird, wings broken, torn.
I wondered if it had a home, a place to be,
A family left waiting, still hoping it’s free.

[Chorus]
And I think of the world, so split, so cold,
Where lives are lost, our story’s untold.
Families torn, like feathers in the rain,
In a land divided, hearts full of pain.

[Bridge]
The toll
(Of the flight of a soul)
Now on the rise
(To realize)
Fly above
(To the love)

[Verse 2]
If the bird’s soul could speak, what would it say?
Would it warn of the times, of the price we’ll pay?
In a country so divided, so full of fear,
Who’s left to sing when no one’s here?

[Chorus]
And I think of the world, so split, so cold,
Where lives are lost, and stories go untold.
Families torn, like feathers in the rain,
In a land divided, hearts full of pain.

[Bridge]
The toll
(Of the flight of a soul)
Now on the rise
(To realize)
Fly above
(To the love)

[Outro]
How remote
Is your vote?

ABOUT THE SONG
A collaboration between Jack Brouse and Daniel Brouse about the 2024 election. The day after the election, I was walking to school when I came across a dead bird lying in the middle of the sidewalk. I started to wonder if it had a family. If it did, do they know it’s gone? Or did the world just take it away, leaving them still searching for this lost soul? Then I thought about the state of the country now, and how it might change under Trump. More families may be torn apart, and lives could be lost in this divided America. Inspired by these thoughts, I wrote a riff and may even write lyrics for it.
