LYRICS
When you ask me
How things are
Do you find it
A bit bizarre?
Gone too far
Choosing winning at losing
At this pace
Human race
Won’t leave a trace
Self-erase
When you ask me
How things are
Gone so low
Can’t lower the bar
When you ask me
How things are
Do you find it
A bit bizarre?
Gone too far
Choosing winning at losing
At this pace
Human race
Won’t leave a trace
Self-erase
Since you asked me
How things are
Look at “Be” and see
Bizarre
Gone too far
Choosing winning at losing
At this pace
Human race
Won’t leave a trace
Self-erase

ABOUT THE SONG
Why are humans choosing to lose? Why are we winning at losing?
What will the “End of Times” look like?
“The era of global warming has ended and the era of ‘global boiling’ has arrived. Climate change is here. It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning”, UN secretary general, António Guterres, said after scientists confirmed July 2023 was on track to be the world’s hottest month on record.
In 2023, we wrote about having crossed tipping points in the paper, “Climate Change: How Long Is ‘Ever’?“. When we wrote the Tunnel Under Thesis in 1995, we forecast crossing these tipping points would not happen for centuries. We underestimated Man’s ignorance and arrogance. Fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions have continued to set record highs. Humans have caused chain-reactions resulting in toppled tipping points, feedback loops, and The Domino Effect.
Events we thought would not happen in our lifetimes are happening now.
— from Climate Change: The End of Times Brouse and Mukherjee (2023)
