[Verse 1]
Do you know the time of day
Or which way
The ball’s in play
Is there time left on the clock
Ship left dock
Look for wood (knock)
[Chorus]
Pardon my intrusion
Into your confusion
There’s no exclusion
(No substitution)
[Bridge]
It’s your turn
(Did you learn)
It’s up to us
(Contagious)
[Verse 2]
Do you know the price we’ll pay
Along the way
There is no stay
There is no doubt
Clock’s run out
Shout it out (No doubt!)
[Chorus]
Pardon my intrusion
Into your confusion
There’s no exclusion
(No substitution)
[Bridge]
It’s your turn
(Did you learn)
It’s up to us
(Contagious)
[Chorus]
Pardon my intrusion
Into your confusion
There’s no exclusion
(No substitution)
[Bridge]
It’s your turn
(Did you learn)
It’s up to us
(Contagious)
[Outro]
There is no doubt
Clock’s run out
Shout it out (No doubt!)
A SCIENCE NOTE
There are no exclusions for humans from the effects of climate change because it impacts all parts of the planet and the systems that sustain human life. Climate change affects human health, economic stability, food security, and even social and geopolitical dynamics across the globe, meaning that everyone, regardless of location or background, is subject to its consequences.
Climate change is already affecting human health by increasing the frequency of extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, hurricanes, wildfires, and floods. These events lead to higher rates of heat-related illnesses, respiratory issues from air pollution, and waterborne diseases from contaminated sources. Additionally, mental health is affected, with trauma from disasters and economic losses contributing to stress and anxiety. Food and water security are also at risk; changing temperature and precipitation patterns disrupt agriculture, leading to reduced crop yields, higher food prices, and increased food insecurity worldwide. Even developed nations, dependent on global food supply chains, feel the impact of these disruptions.
Economically, climate change brings significant costs. Damage to infrastructure, increased energy demands, and disrupted global trade all contribute to economic instability. Sectors like agriculture, tourism, and insurance, which rely on stable weather patterns, face heightened risk and volatility, with effects that ripple across economies. Socially and geopolitically, climate change strains resources like water and arable land, increasing competition and potentially leading to conflict. Climate-induced migration further exacerbates tensions, as populations move from uninhabitable areas to more stable regions, pressuring resources and services in new locations.
In sum, climate change is a universal issue with far-reaching implications for everyone, regardless of location, socioeconomic status, or lifestyle. Addressing it is critical for ensuring a sustainable and equitable future for all.
