A SCIENCE LESSON
This song beautifully captures the phenomenon of sunlight at sunset from a physics perspective.

In the verses, the imagery of the sun setting and the transition to twilight reflects the gradual decrease in sunlight intensity as the day comes to an end. The colors described – orange, purple, and red – are characteristic of the scattering of light by the Earth’s atmosphere during sunset. As the sun’s rays pass through a thicker layer of atmosphere near the horizon, shorter wavelengths like blue and green are scattered away, leaving longer wavelengths like orange and red to dominate the sky’s color palette.

The bridge and chorus delve into the physics behind this phenomenon, highlighting how the scattering of light by the atmosphere causes colors to smear and create the vibrant hues observed during sunset. The mention of a thicker atmosphere further emphasizes the role of atmospheric density in shaping the colors we see.

The instrumental breaks, featuring saxophone, bass, and flute, add a layer of depth and richness to the song, mirroring the complexity and beauty of the physics behind sunlight at sunset.

The song serves as a poetic exploration of the intersection between art and science, capturing the wonder and awe inspired by the physics of sunlight as it paints the sky during twilight.

A SCIENCE LESSON
(April 2024) At least 71 fatalities have been confirmed, with 110 individuals hospitalized following devastating floods near the town of Mai Mahiu in Kenya’s north-western Nakuru county, as confirmed by Nakuru governor Susan Kihika to CNN on Monday.

Kihika attributed the exacerbated flooding to the bursting of a dam. However, locals and first responders informed CNN that the disaster was caused by water surging through a tunnel beneath a railway bridge with a blocked culvert.

Kenya has been grappling with weeks of heavy rainfall and ensuing flash floods.

Flash floods and a landslide in central Kenya resulted in a minimum of 45 casualties and over 110 injuries on Monday, as floodwaters swept away houses and vehicles in the town of Mai Mahiu, according to government reports. Initially, police attributed the flooding to a burst dam, but the Ministry of Water later clarified that it was caused by a river tunnel under a railway embankment becoming obstructed with debris.

“The water (eventually) swept the railway line and started moving downstream with very high speed and velocity, causing destruction of property and loss of lives,” stated the ministry, a narrative corroborated by two local residents.

“Though 45 fatalities have already been recovered along the path of the flash floods and the landslide, search, rescue, and recovery efforts are ongoing,” remarked interior minister Kithure Kindiki in a statement.
Footage depicted a significant portion of rail track, embankment, and trees being swept downhill. Even as floodwaters receded hours after the rain ceased, local residents were seen extracting motorcycles and household belongings from the mud.

ABOUT THE SONG
This song delves into the dissonance between dreams and reality, using vivid imagery to convey a sense of bewilderment and frustration regarding climate change and environmental degradation.

The repetition of phrases like “caught on the seam of a dream” and “on the edge of ledge” suggests a feeling of being suspended between two worlds, one of idealized dreams and one of harsh reality. This juxtaposition reflects the disconnect between the desired state of a pristine environment and the current state of degradation and destruction.

The lyrics evoke a sense of helplessness and confusion, as the protagonist struggles to reconcile their dreams of a better world with the harsh realities of environmental damage. The imagery of “fleeing the scene of obscene” suggests a desire to escape from the ugliness of environmental degradation, but ultimately feeling trapped within it.

Overall, the song captures the emotional turmoil and existential angst that many feel in the face of climate change and environmental destruction. It serves as a poignant reflection on the need for action and change to preserve the planet for future generations.

Humans will experience greater loss and damage to life and quality of life from air pollution, decreasing supply of potable water, extreme weather events, disease, and other adverse health outcomes. The greatest short term climate change risk to human health is deadly humid heat (wet-bulb temperature). The environmental changes and uncertainties associated with climate change can contribute to mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Almost all survivors of climate-related disasters suffer from mental distress and experience PTSD. Of those who have not experienced climate disasters, over two-thirds of U.S. adults (68%) report having climate change anxiety.

Human-induced climate change is a dynamic component of an intricate and unordered system, as per chaos theory. This implies that global warming is accelerating exponentially in a complex manner. Over the period from 1992 to 2023, we have presented compelling evidence, proposed remedies to mitigate climate change, and amassed valuable information through the engagement of millions with this climate model. Your participation has been invaluable. The incontrovertible data underscores that human-induced climate change is rapidly deteriorating our habitat.

Our climate model / experiment employs chaos theory to comprehensively consider human impacts and projects a potential global average temperature increase of 9℃ above pre-industrial levels. Global warming is a consequence of elevated thermal energy in the climate system, which comprises various subsystems. Chaos theory underscores the intricate and nonlinear nature of dynamic systems. Human well-being is compromised above a 1.5-degree temperature rise, rendering much of the Earth uninhabitable. A 9-degree Celsius increase would bring the Earth close to a wet-bulb temperature incapable of sustaining human life.

What Can I Do? There are numerous actions you can take to contribute to saving the planet. Each person bears the responsibility to minimize pollution, discontinue the use of fossil fuels, reduce consumption, and foster a culture of love and care. 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. Be a butterfly and affect the world.

LYRICS
At the top
And still looking up
Just won’t stop
No, no giving up
Till I know the distance to go
Going to throw everything I know
Once I know the distance to go
Follow through
Sprints in view
Bring on new
A hundred-thousand years of ice
Would be nice
For reasons
Four seasons
Paradise
As a matter of fact
We’ve got to get back
To the garden
I beg your pardon?
Back to the garden
We’ve got to get back to the garden

Put us in our current state
Mounting expenses that we make
Due our cost from all we take

Paying off our debt
So we get less regret
Less we forget

Look in the mirror
What do you see?
Wallow in horror

Put up a fight
