[Verse 1]
When the skies start to rumble, and the winds begin to howl,
There’s a danger that’s lurking, bringing fear with its growl.
It’s the storm on the horizon, the floodwaters rising high,
The heat that’s overwhelming, reaching for the sky.
[Chorus]
The most immediate risk, is knocking at our door,
Hail, hurricanes and heatwaves, a threat we can’t ignore.
Wildfires ever higher, mud, floods, the danger’s in our face,
For human health and safety, we must find a saving grace.

[Verse 2]
In the sweltering heatwaves, the sun beats down (down, down)
There’s a risk like this: dehydration and heatstroke all around. (Abound)
And when the hurricanes come raging, tearing through the land, (Man)
Leaving destruction in our wake, with no mercy just demand. (Damned demand)
[Chorus]
The most immediate risk, is knocking at our door,
Hail, hurricanes and heatwaves, a threat we can’t ignore.
Wildfires ever higher, mud, floods, the danger’s in our face,
For human health and safety, we must find a saving grace.

It’s time to come together, prepare and to defend, (The End)
Against the storms of primate change, we’ll rise and we’ll ascend.
With resilience and action, we’ll weather through the storm,
Emerge with strength to be, our spirit will transform.
[Chorus]
The most immediate risk, is knocking at our door,
Hail, hurricanes and heatwaves, a threat we can’t ignore.
Wildfires ever higher, mud, floods, the danger’s in our face,
For human health and safety, we must find a saving grace.

All stand tall, wheather together, in the face of what may come,
For in unity and courage, our battle will be won.
Against the most immediate risk, we’ll forge a path ahead,
With hope and determination, we’ll rise from where we’ve tread.
We made our bed….

A SCIENCE LESSON
The most immediate risk to human health due to climate change is the increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. These events, such as heatwaves, hurricanes, violent rain, and wildfires, can have direct and indirect impacts on human health and well-being. Heatwaves, for example, can lead to heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke, particularly among vulnerable populations such as the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. Similarly, hurricanes and floods can cause injury, displacement, and waterborne diseases, while wildfires can result in respiratory issues due to smoke inhalation and exacerbate existing respiratory conditions. Overall, the heightened occurrence of extreme weather events poses significant risks to human health, requiring proactive measures to mitigate their impact and protect communities.
