[Intro]
\nOn the edge
\n(Of extreme)
\nKnow what I mean?
\n(Purge before the dirge)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWhat do you deem extreme
\n(Living on the edge of life)
\nWhat do you dream the scene
\n(A life rife with strife?)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOn the edge
\n(Of extreme)
\nKnow what I mean?
\n(Purge before the dirge)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nOn the extreme edge
\n(Of humanity’s pledge)
\n“Promise… and hope to die”
\n(Why?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nIs your dream too extreme
\n(Living live or let die)
\nClosing your eyes to seen
\n(Why bother to try)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOn the edge
\n(Of extreme)
\nKnow what I mean?
\n(Purge before the dirge)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nOn the extreme edge
\n(Of humanity’s pledge)
\n“Promise… and hope to die”
\n(Why?)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOn the edge
\n(Of extreme)
\nKnow what I mean?
\n(Purge before the dirge)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nOr all fall
\n(Think extinct)
\nOn the extreme edge
\n(Of humanity’s pledge)
\n“Promise… and hope to die”
\n(Why?)
\nWhen we could choose love
\n(Above)
\n… choose love.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG AND THE SCIENCE: Foster a Culture of Love and Care<\/strong><\/p>\n

Q: What is happening with climate change?
A: It is accelerating at an exponential rate — far faster than the public narrative or old models suggest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For years, the world was taught to focus on “holding global warming to 1.5\u00b0C.” But that number has quietly become meaningless. Not only have we likely crossed it already, the real danger is not the temperature itself — it is the tipping points that crossing that threshold has set in motion. These tipping points have triggered cascading, self-reinforcing feedback loops that are now reshaping Earth’s systems with unprecedented speed.<\/p>\n

We are not approaching a climate crisis.
We are living inside its accelerating phase.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Planet in Nonlinear Transition<\/strong><\/h1>\n

These are not<\/strong> distant projections.
These are real-time runaway feedbacks<\/strong> already visible across ecosystems, oceans, and the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

The climate system is now governed by compound nonlinear interactions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
