Blazing

[Intro]
We fell into summer in the fall
Yet you say, “Not unusual at all”

[Verse 1]
In a drought
(No doubt)
About to find out
The primate climate

[Chorus]
We fell into summer
(In the fall)
Yet you say,
“Not unusual at all”

[Bridge]
Blazing
(Raising concerns)
Amazing
(We’ll never learn)

[Verse 2]
When it rains
(It pours)
The aches and pains
(Who endures?)

[Chorus]
We fell into summer
(In the fall)
Yet you say,
“Not unusual at all”

[Bridge]
Blazing
(Raising concerns)
Amazing
(We’ll never learn)

[Chorus]
We fell into summer
(In the fall)
Yet you say,
“Not unusual at all”

[Bridge]
Blazing
(Raising concerns)
Amazing
(We’ll never learn)

[Outro]
Amazing
(We’re blazing)

A SCIENCE NOTE
The record drought and high temperatures observed on October 31, 2024, can be directly linked to the effects of climate change, which amplifies both the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Rising global temperatures driven by increased greenhouse gas emissions are causing prolonged heatwaves and abnormal weather patterns that disrupt natural seasonal cycles and precipitation.

  1. Warming Temperatures and Altered Rain Patterns: Climate change has caused a consistent rise in average temperatures worldwide, with the last decade being the hottest on record. This warming effect increases the atmosphere’s ability to retain moisture, resulting in more intense but often sporadic rainfall. Instead of consistent, moderate rainfall that nourishes soil, we’re seeing longer dry spells followed by extreme precipitation, which contributes to flash floods and soil erosion rather than soil replenishment, exacerbating drought conditionsa Niña and El Niño Disruption**: The natural weather patterns of La Niña and El Niño, which typically balance weather extremes, have become more erratic. This is due to oceanic and atmospheric changes caused by rising global temperatures. In 2024, for instance, the transition from a prolonged La Niña phase to an El Niño exacerbated dry conditions, leading to higher-than-average temperatures and worsened drought. Climate change is affecting these cycles, making extreme weather patterns more frequent and severe .
  2. Soil Moisture Depletion*: High temperatures increase evaporation rates, leading to dry soil and reduced water availability in the environment, which in turn makes the land more susceptible to drought. When soil loses moisture, it reflects more heat back into the atmosphere rather than absorbing it, which intensifies the heat in the area. This positive feedback loop worsens drought conditions and increases surface temperatures, leading to the type of record heat seen in October 2024 .

Without significant action, these intensified droughts and high temperatures will likely become more common as the planet continues to warm.
