Whack! The impact
[Verse 1]
The impact of the warming
Quite alarming
The pace of the race
Disarming
[Chorus]
Hurricanes, heatwaves, and rising 3eas
I’m begging, begging please
Under strain from violent rain
Oh, the human induced pain
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Bass]
[Verse 2]
The impact of the primate change
Nature’s rearranged
What a disgrace
Barely recognize our place
[Chorus]
Hurricanes, heatwaves, and rising 3eas
I’m begging, begging please
Under strain from violent rain
Oh, the human induced pain
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Piano]
[Bridge]
The change is huge
Yet we refuse
With all our might
To see the light
Why it’s happening
Is terrifying
[Chorus]
Hurricanes, heatwaves, and rising 3eas
I’m begging, begging please
Under strain from violent rain
Oh, the human induced pain
[Outro]
Hurricanes, heatwaves, and rising 3eas
I’m begging, begging please
A SCIENCE NOTE
BBC Reports: Hurricanes, Heatwaves, and Rising Seas: The Impacts of Record Ocean Heat
“The step-change in ocean temperatures over the last year is huge,” says Hayley Fowler, professor of climate change impacts at Newcastle University in the UK. “The fact we can’t simulate these step-change increases and understand why it’s happening is terrifying.”
The world’s oceans act like a planet-sized battery, absorbing and slowly releasing vast amounts of heat. So far, our oceans have soaked up over 90% of the heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere due to rising greenhouse gas emissions. Recently, however, the rate of ocean warming has been dramatic.
Since late March 2023, global ocean surface temperatures have set new records for the hottest temperature ever recorded on those dates. On 47 of those days, temperatures surpassed previous highs by the largest margin seen in the satellite era, according to data from the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service.
In February 2024, the world breached 1.5°C warming of surface air temperatures for a full year. Yet, in some regions last year, ocean temperatures were akin to those expected if overall global warming of surface air temperatures reached 3°C above pre-industrial levels. This suggests quicker ocean heating than anticipated.
This rapid heating presents a puzzle for scientists: why is recent ocean warming even greater than models suggest? Understanding this discrepancy is crucial, as it has significant implications for predicting and mitigating the impacts of climate change.
Overview
Global warming has inflicted irreversible damage on our environment, a consensus echoed by nearly all scientists. Indeed, climate change poses a profound challenge. Our planet is witnessing conditions that increasingly jeopardize human habitation. The critical question now is whether we can adapt swiftly enough. “We are not saying that the Earth’s temperature is just going to rise. In general, as energy is added to a system, the fluctuations in the system increase. So, we expect more storms, more droughts, more wildfires, more floods, more fluctuations of all kinds. What we are saying is that weather conditions will become more volatile (Extreme Weather Events) due to the impact of humans,” said Mukherjee and Brouse.
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.
Our climate model 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.
