LYRICS
I heard the scientists’ hypothesis
It was quite mind-blowing
Come on knowing
What they said filled my head
They said quite mind-blowing
Come on knowing
The ice is melting way too fast
At this pace, it will never last
Quite mind-blowing
Come on knowing
Though not surprising
The temperature’s rising
It’s the rapid rate
Doubt the primate
Is apt to adapt
Quite mind-blowing
Come on knowing
I was hoping not to fade away
Memories of our yesterday
… not fade away
… decay
But if there’s no one here to hear
There’s no sound to be found
Quite mind-blowing
Come on knowing

A song about * Antarctic sea-ice at ‘mind-blowing’ low *
On September 17, 2023, the BBC reported:
The sea-ice surrounding Antarctica is well below any previous recorded winter level, satellite data shows, a worrying new benchmark for a region that once seemed resistant to global warming.
“It’s so far outside anything we’ve seen, it’s almost mind-blowing,” says Walter Meier, who monitors sea-ice with the National Snow and Ice Data Center.
An unstable Antarctica could have far-reaching consequences, polar experts warn.
The Guardian reported:
“September was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist, absolutely gobsmackingly bananas,” said Zeke Hausfather, at the Berkeley Earth climate data project.”
Antarctica’s huge ice expanse regulates the planet’s temperature, as the white surface reflects the Sun’s energy back into the atmosphere and also cools the water beneath and near it.
