[Intro]
Do you have a bad taste?
Perhaps it’s your waste?
(Wasted tasted)
[Break]
Wake up!
Or become the past
(Tasted wasted)
[Verse 1]
The taste of waste
Is in the air
The taste of waste
Is everywhere
[Bridge]
Time to declare
A state of emergency
The utter urgency
Is right here!
(Wasted tasted)
[Chorus]
How quickly things change (change)
People come and go so fast (fast)
I mean, do you feel strange (feel strange)
[Break]
Wake up!
Or become the past
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills]
[Verse 2]
The haste of waste
Hard to compare
The waste from “taste”
Is everywhere
[Bridge]
Time to declare
A state of emergency
The utter urgency
Is right here!
(Wasted tasted)
[Chorus]
How quickly things change (change)
People come and go so fast (fast)
I mean, do you feel strange (feel strange)
[Break]
Wake up!
Or become the past
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Bass, Synthesizers]
A SCIENCE NOTE
Unintended Consequences and Inexplicable Consumer Behavior
Climate change is primarily driven by the escalation of thermal energy affecting biogeophysical and socio-economic systems. While biogeophysical factors can be studied using math, physics, and historical records, socio-economic systems pose greater challenges due to the unpredictable consequences of human behavior and inexplicable consumer choices, exacerbating tipping points and feedback loops.
Complex Feedback Loops:
Complex feedback loops in climate science refer to interactions between different components of the Earth’s climate system that can amplify or dampen the effects of initial changes, leading to non-linear and often unpredictable outcomes. These feedback loops play a crucial role in shaping the behavior of the climate system and can influence various climate phenomena, including temperature changes, ice melt, and precipitation patterns.
Tipping points are Critical Milestones that directly impact the rate of acceleration in climate change by multiplying the number and intensity of feedback loops. 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.
