Catastrophe Sympathy Atrophy
[Verse 1]
I wonder what kind of catastrophe
Happened today?
As long as it’s not coming my way
’cause I haven’t the time to pray
[Bridge]
Tomorrow, everything will be O.K.?
What’s that you say?
[Chorus]
Put off till tomorrow (sorrow)
What I should’ve done yesterday
Now all’s come due today (you say?)
Ohhh, woe, no way!
[Break]
Catastrophe Sympathy Atrophy
[Instrumental, Drum Solo]
[Bridge]
Can I call you back…
A week from Tuesday
Or next year in May
As a matter of fact,
Which ever comes latter
(Or later)
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]
[Outro]
Can I back to you…
A week from Thursday
Or next year in May?
Well, to be true…
Perhaps my day has come due.
[End]
A SCIENCE LESSON
The consequences of humans not accepting responsibility for climate change are profound and far-reaching, impacting both present and future generations. Here are some key consequences:
- Continued Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Without accepting responsibility for climate change, there may be a lack of collective action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This could lead to unabated emissions from various sources such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, exacerbating global warming and its impacts.
- Worsening Extreme Weather Events: Failure to acknowledge climate change may result in inadequate preparedness for extreme weather events such as heatwaves, hurricanes, floods, and droughts. This could lead to increased damage to infrastructure, loss of life, and disruptions to communities and economies.
- Environmental Degradation: Climate change denial may perpetuate unsustainable practices such as overexploitation of natural resources, habitat destruction, and pollution. This could further degrade ecosystems, threaten biodiversity, and undermine the planet’s capacity to support life.
- Social and Economic Inequities: Vulnerable populations, including low-income communities, indigenous peoples, and marginalized groups, often bear the brunt of climate change impacts. Denial of climate change may perpetuate social and economic inequities by neglecting the needs of these communities and exacerbating existing disparities in access to resources and opportunities.
- Loss of Human Health and Well-being: Climate change affects human health through various mechanisms, including heat-related illnesses, respiratory problems from air pollution, food and water insecurity, and the spread of infectious diseases. Denial of climate change may impede efforts to address these health risks, leading to increased morbidity and mortality.
- Interference with Global Efforts: Climate change denial can undermine international cooperation and efforts to address the issue collectively. This may weaken global agreements such as the Paris Agreement and hinder progress toward mitigating climate change and adapting to its impacts.
- Loss of Trust in Science and Institutions: Denial of climate change can erode public trust in scientific evidence and institutions responsible for addressing environmental challenges. This may hinder efforts to implement evidence-based policies and solutions, leading to further delays in addressing climate change.
The consequences of humans not accepting responsibility for climate change are dire and threaten the well-being of current and future generations, as well as the sustainability of the planet. Acknowledging the reality of climate change and taking decisive action to mitigate its impacts are essential steps toward building a more sustainable and resilient future.
