[Verse 1]
\nYour cognitive dysfunction
\nIs no longer assumption
\nActually…
\nIt’s just a matter of degree<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nCan you turn your brain on
\n(So we can carry on?)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nSkepticism or narcissism
\nTough to tell between your schisms
\nWith reality
\n(I mean… really?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nYour totally inability
\nTo see things clearly
\nSpecifically…
\n(The degree of non-linearity)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nCan you turn your brain on
\n(So we can carry on?)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nSkepticism or narcissism
\nTough to tell between your schisms
\nWith reality
\n(I mean… really?)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nCan you turn your brain on
\n(So we can carry on?)

[Chorus]
\nSkepticism or narcissism

ABOUT THE SONG
\nA message to climate crisis deniers: Over the last 35 years, we have conducted millions of \u201canti-IQ tests\u201d across all demographics and regions, from top scientists to washed-up hair-band singers from the \u201980s\u2014and you have ranked among the lowest. This should be of real concern to you.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still unclear whether your cognitive impairments are primarily environmental, genetic, or both. However, you display all the hallmark symptoms of chronic lead poisoning: extreme self-interest, low empathy, resistance to facts, and an aversion to complexity. These are well-documented neurological and behavioral impacts of lead exposure.
\nLead damages the prefrontal cortex\u2014the part of the brain responsible for impulse control, moral reasoning, empathy, and long-term planning. People with lead exposure often exhibit selfish, impulsive, antisocial behavior\u2014a \u201cme first\u201d mindset. Lead also impairs executive function, making it hard to analyze, plan, or engage in abstract thought, leading to an aversion to science, math, and logical reasoning.<\/p>\n

Instead, thinking becomes concrete, emotionally driven, and black-and-white, making people highly susceptible to political propaganda, conspiracy theories, and fear-based manipulation. Lacking the ability to think critically or tolerate uncertainty, they cling to misinformation regardless of evidence, resisting rational discourse no matter how clearly it\u2019s explained.<\/p>\n

If you truly care about yourself and those around you, I strongly recommend both physical and mental evaluations. There is help available, but the first step is recognizing that your current approach isn\u2019t working\u2014and is harming not just you but everyone subjected to your ongoing spread of false, misleading, and dangerous claims.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SCIENCE
\nOur updated climate model, now integrating complex social-ecological factors as part of a dynamic and non-linear system<\/a>, shows that global temperatures could rise by up to 9\u00b0C within this century\u2014far beyond previous predictions of a 4\u00b0C rise over the next thousand years. This level of warming will render much of the world uninhabitable within this century.<\/p>\n

In the 1990s, we first hypothesized the non-linear acceleration of climate change. By the early 2000s, this hypothesis had evolved into an established climate theory, now widely recognized as scientific fact. My lab partner, a Doctor of Physics from Ohio State, and I collaborated to provide the key evidence creating this theory. Over the years, we have observed a dramatic reduction in the doubling time of climate change impacts\u2014the rate at which these 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 implies that the damage caused by climate change today is double what it was two years ago. In two years, it could be four times worse; in four years, eight times worse; and within a decade, potentially 64 times worse. These projections are conservative, assuming the doubling period does not continue to shrink further. Alarmingly, this rapid acceleration does not appear to be an anomaly. If this trajectory persists, the consequences will likely be far more catastrophic than previously anticipated.<\/p>\n
