LYRICS
You say the big one got away
So the little ones are your prey
So you say
Pull the lever
Step on the gas
Run them over
And make it fast
Boy’s too clever
He’ll never last
You say the big ones got in your way
So little ones will do for today
So you say
Pull the lever
Step on the gas
Run them over
And make it fast
Boy’s too clever
He’ll never last
You say the big ones exploit you for pay
Yet you would have it no other way
So you say
Pull the lever
Step on the gas
Run them over
And make it fast
Boy’s too clever
He’ll never last
When the crude in their attitude
Protrudes into your latitude
Do you find…
Find it strange
When the lewd use of all crude
Extrudes into all pursued
Is it time…
Time for change

“It’s just mind-blowing really,” said Copernicus Director Carlo Buontempo. “Never seen anything like that in any month in our records.”
“This is not a fancy weather statistic. It’s a death sentence for people and ecosystems. It destroys assets, infrastructure, harvest,” Imperial College of London climate scientist Friederike Otto said.
Global heat is now “gobsmackingly bananas,” said climate scientist Zeke Hausfather. “It’s hard to overstate just how exceptionally high global temperatures are at the moment.”
On November 20, 2023, the UN’s Emission Gap Report found even if countries carried out their current emissions-reduction pledges, the world would likely continuously exceed +3C degrees of warming this century. Later that day, the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative released State of the Cryosphere Report 2023 saying, “Two degrees is too high. Our message — the message of the Cryosphere — is that this insanity cannot and must not continue. The melting point of ice pays no attention to rhetoric, only to our actions.”
