[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Pulsing Bass, Organ Swell, Muted Guitar Chops, Rising Synth Filter]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Are you surprised
(It’s right before your eyes)
[Instrumental]
[Synth Solo]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]
[Verse 1]
For sure:
(Rising temperatures)
Proof twice:
(Melting ice)
[Chorus]
Are you surprised
(It’s right before your eyes)
Observational evidence
(Proof’s elements)
[Bridge]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Have you realized
(It’s right before your eyes)
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]
[Verse 2]
Look and see:
(The rising sea)
See how thick:
(The isotopic)
[Chorus]
Are you surprised
(It’s right before your eyes)
Observational evidence
(Proof’s elements)
[Bridge]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Have you realized
(It’s right before your eyes)
[Outro]
Check you science book
(And take a look)
Only a fool denies
(It’s right before your eyes)
ABOUT THE SONG: Observational Evidence
1. Rising global temperatures (surface and ocean heat content)
2. Melting glaciers and ice sheets (Greenland, Antarctica, Arctic sea ice)
3. Rising sea levels
4. Atmospheric CO₂ increase with fossil fuel isotopic signature
5. Measured radiative forcing matches predictions from CO₂ and other GHGs
Summary
* Fossil fuel combustion increases CO₂ → higher radiative forcing → warming.
* The isotopic composition confirms the carbon source is anthropogenic.
* Feedback loops accelerate the warming beyond the direct effect of CO₂ alone.
