From on high
Look around
What goes up
Must come down
Started, now can’t stop
Crumbling mountaintop
Can’t deny
Look around
What goes up
Must come down
Started, in motion
Ice into ocean
My, Oh, my
Look around
What goes up
Soon falls down
Started, domino
You know… there they go….

ABOUT THE SONG
Climate breakdown, the most alarming development, occurs when feedback loops are triggered, and tipping points are crossed. This leads to the extinction of plants, the disappearance of carbon sinks, and an exponential acceleration of Earth’s temperature. The consequences are dire, with the potential disappearance of vital resources like food, fresh water, and breathable air, likely followed by catastrophic impacts on human survival. Identifying and understanding these tipping points is crucial for climate science and policymaking. Crossing multiple tipping points could lead to a domino effect, resulting in a much more rapid and severe climate change than currently projected.
