Staggering Clown

[Intro]
Stand them up
(To knock them down)
Broken cup
(Staggering clown)

[Verse 1]
Is this a circus
(Involving us)
Some sort-of zoo
(Have you a clue?)

[Chorus]
Stand them up
(To knock them down)
Broken cup
(Staggering clown)

[Bridge]
Wobbling
(Teeter-totter)
Waffling
(Should of, oughta)

[Verse 2]
Maybe a county fair
(Of the unaware)
A bizarre bizarre
(Taken too far)

[Chorus]
Stand them up
(To knock them down)
Broken cup
(Staggering clown)

[Bridge]
Wobbling
(Teeter-totter)
Waffling
(Should of, oughta)

[Chorus]
Stand them up
(To knock them down)
Broken cup
(Staggering clown)

[Bridge]
Wobbling
(Teeter-totter)
Waffling
(Should of, oughta)

[Outro]
About to discover
(Falling over)

A SCIENCE NOTE
Tipping cascades have emerged between biogeophysical and social-ecological systems. This Domino Effect is causing climate change to accelerate at an exponential rate.

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.

Tipping Points

Push a glass toward the edge of a table and eventually it will fall off on its own. No matter how slowly or meticulously you push… no matter how you weight or fill the glass, it will reach a tipping point and fall off before being pushed completely off the table. No matter whether you believe the glass is half-empty or half-full, when the tipping point is reached it will plummet out-of-control to its end. This is science not fate, faith, nor belief. Human induced climate change has resulted in environmental tipping points being breached.

Tipping points, when crossed, trigger self-sustaining feedback loops that are no longer dependent on human activity. Similar to when a domino topples over hitting two more dominoes that in turn fall hitting more dominoes. Thus, the name The Domino Effect. It can also be visualized as The Snowball Effect. A tipping point is like a snowball rolling down a hill growing in mass and velocity (momentum). When a tipping point is crossed, it results in cumulative and reinforced global warming.
