[Verse 1]
\nSliding down the fireman’s pole
\nSpringing into action
\nAbout to discover a new role
\nIf to maintain satisfaction<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThe starting gun
\nHas been fired
\nBetter run
\n(Or be retired)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nBang! (The starting gun)
\nBest to run (or come undone)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nClanging, clanging (Banging!)
\nRing the bell (Oh, well)
\nThe sirens sounding
\nDire’s resounding<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThe starting gun
\nHas been fired
\nBetter run
\n(Or be retired)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nBang! (The starting gun)
\nBest to run (or come undone)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nThe starting gun
\nHas been fired
\nBetter run
\n(Or be retired)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nBang! (The starting gun)
\nBest to run (run, run, run)<\/p>\n

URGENT CLIMATE WARNING<\/strong>
\nOur most recent climate model<\/b><\/a> — now incorporating economic and social feedback loops — projects up to 9\u00b0C global warming by 2100<\/strong>. This far exceeds prior estimates and indicates we are entering a phase of compound, cascading collapse<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At this level of heating, many regions will become uninhabitable due to heat stress, sea-level rise, food system failure, and forced migration. Wet-bulb temperatures in the U.S. are already nearing 31\u00b0C (87.8\u00b0F)<\/a> — a physiological limit beyond which human life cannot be sustained outdoors for long, even with water and shade.<\/p>\n

This is not hypothetical. The climate system is tipping now.<\/p>\n

Immediate mitigation and adaptation are essential to preserve habitable zones and public health\u2014and to avoid collapse on both ecological and economic fronts.<\/p>\n
