[Intro]
\nAnother disaster
\n(Happenin’ faster n’ faster)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nFasten your seat-belts
\n(It’s going to get rough)
\nHang tough!<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nIf ya can
\nStay alive
\nHard to survive
\nIn man versus man<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nAnother disaster
\n(Happenin’ faster n’ faster)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nFasten your seat-belts
\n(It’s going to get rough)
\nHoping your heart melts
\n(And our love’s enough)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nIf ya can understand (the demand of man)
\nThe need’s now more (than ever before)
\nDue, our reparation (for participation)
\nIn annihilation<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nAnother disaster
\n(Happenin’ faster n’ faster)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nFasten your seat-belts
\n(It’s going to get rough)
\nHoping your heart melts
\n(And our love’s enough)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nFaith that’s heartfelt
\n(When the going’s rough)
\nHoping our hearts melt
\n(And our love’s enough)<\/p>\n

A SCIENCE NOTE
\nA fairly effective way to deal with climate crisis deniers today is to state the economic facts as it pertains to their pocketbook — they are going to pay for it with higher taxes and insurance premiums.<\/p>\n

*Homeowners insurance is currently socialized in three states
\n*20% of homes in high climate risk zip codes are already uninsurable
\n*In the next 30 years, 84% of homes will lose value due to climate change (at today’s projections)… however…<\/p>\n

The acceleration rate under current GHG emissions is increasing at the following rapid rate:
\nRising Frequency of Disasters:
\n1980s: The nation averaged approximately 3.3 billion-dollar disasters annually.
\n2014\u20132023: This average rose to over 17 such events per year.
\n2023: A record-setting 28 billion-dollar disasters occurred, surpassing the previous high of 22 events in 2020.
\n2024: the United States experienced 27 weather and climate disasters, each causing damages exceeding $1 billion.<\/p>\n

Escalating Economic Damages:
\n1980\u20131999: The U.S. experienced 96 billion-dollar disasters, resulting in over $546.3 billion in total costs.
\n2000\u20132019: This number increased to 244 events, with costs exceeding $1.95 trillion\u2014a 154% rise in the number of disasters and a 257% surge in associated costs compared to the previous two decades.
\n2024: Natural disasters led to $140 billion in insured losses, up from $106 billion in 2023, marking one of the costliest years on record. Total losses, including uninsured damages, reached $320 billion.
\n2025: A single climate disaster occurred that may result in over $320 billion in economic costs. Due to the toxicity of the affected area, the true economic impact, particularly concerning cancer and other long-term health effects, won’t be known for years. Today is February 25, 2025. There have been several other extreme events this year. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has not yet released an official count of billion-dollar disasters for 2025. Their next update is scheduled for March 10, 2025. However, NOAA’s status as an entity is unknown at this time.<\/p>\n

This upward trend in both the frequency and economic impact of billion-dollar disasters highlights the growing financial risks associated with climate change.<\/p>\n
