[Intro]
\nWe stung the young<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nObviously
\n(Plain as day to see)
\nThe gas you pass
\n(Obnoxiously)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nYour “be” stung me<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nYour poison
\n(Stung)
\nYour damage
\n(Done)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nStung… (who really won)
\nOne and done<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nRipped your cord
\n(Oh, lordy, lord)
\nLost your sting
\n(Lost everything)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nYour “be” stung me<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nYour poison
\n(Stung)
\nYour damage
\n(Done)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nStung… (who really won)
\nOne and done<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nYour poison
\n(Stung)
\nYour damage
\n(Done)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nYour “be” stung me
\n(Mortally)
\nStung… (we’re done)
\nSting, stang, stung
\n(The swan has sung:)
\nWronged the young<\/p>\n

A SCIENCE NOTE
\nThe song is a metaphor for climate change.<\/p>\n

A honeybee dies after losing its stinger because the stinger is barbed and gets lodged in the skin of a thick-skinned target, such as a human or mammal. When the bee pulls away, it rips its own lower abdomen, along with its venom sac, muscles, and parts of its digestive tract, causing internal organ failure and leading to its death within a few hours.<\/p>\n

Our updated climate model<\/a>, now integrating complex social-ecological factors, shows that global temperatures could rise by up to 9\u00b0C within this century — far beyond previous predictions of a 4\u00b0C rise over the next thousand years. This kind of warming could bring us dangerously close to the “wet-bulb” threshold, where heat and humidity exceed the human body’s ability to cool itself, leading to fatal consequences.<\/p>\n

Tipping points<\/a> and feedback loops<\/a> drive the acceleration of climate change<\/a>. When one tipping point is toppled and triggers others, the cascading collapse is known as the Domino Effect<\/a><\/em>.<\/h3>\n
