Nowadays
Now which ways?
[Verse 1]
Climbed the tallest tree
To see what I could see
I said, “Lord! Help me!”
[Chorus]
They’re fighting left and right
In fact, everywhere in sight
While the temperatures go higher
The world caught on fire
[Break]
Fire!
[Bridge]
Nowadays
Every which ways
A mess
Nowadays
Every which weighs
Way less
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Climbed the highest mountain
And saw once again
I said, “Good god! Save me!”
[Chorus]
They’re fighting left and right
In fact, everywhere in sight
While the temperatures go higher
The world caught on fire
[Break]
Fire!
[Bridge]
Nowadays
Every which ways
A mess
Nowadays
Our voices heard less
Do we understand
We need to stand?
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]
[Instrumental, Bass, Drum Fills]
[Verse 3]
I went to the highest authority
And She said to me
Son! Save “we”!
[Chorus]
They’re fighting left and right
In fact, everywhere in sight
While the temperatures go higher
The world caught on fire
[Break]
Fire!
[Bridge]
Confess,
Nowadays
Every which ways
A mess
Climb the tallest tree (and see)
Climb the highest mountain (again)
Shout it out
Tell ’em what it’s about!
[Outro]
Nowadays
Every which ways
A mess
[End]
A SCIENCE NOTE
Human-induced climate change is a dynamic component of an intricate and unordered system, as per chaos theory. This implies that global warming is accelerating exponentially in a complex manner. Over the period from 1992 to 2023, we have presented compelling evidence, proposed remedies to mitigate climate change, and amassed valuable information through the engagement of millions with this climate model. Your participation has been invaluable. The incontrovertible data underscores that human-induced climate change is rapidly deteriorating our habitat.
This climate model / experiment employs chaos theory to comprehensively consider human impacts and projects a potential global average temperature increase of 9℃ above pre-industrial levels. Global warming is a consequence of elevated thermal energy in the climate system, which comprises various subsystems. Chaos theory underscores the intricate and nonlinear nature of dynamic systems. Human well-being is compromised above a 1.5-degree temperature rise, rendering much of the Earth uninhabitable. A 9-degree Celsius increase would bring the Earth close to a wet-bulb temperature incapable of sustaining human life.
What Can I Do? There are numerous actions you can take to contribute to saving the planet. Each person bears the responsibility to minimize pollution, discontinue the use of fossil fuels, reduce consumption, and foster a culture of love and care. The Butterfly Effect illustrates that a small change in one area can lead to significant alterations in conditions anywhere on the globe. Hence, the frequently heard statement that a fluttering butterfly in China can cause a hurricane in the Atlantic. Be a butterfly and affect the world.
