[Intro]
My heart…
Is starting to race
Trying to keep pace
With the human race
… better start
[Verse 1]
As the pace increases
Recovery ceases
The drive to stay alive
Intensifies (Surprise?)
[Chorus]
My heart…
Is starting to race
Trying to keep pace
With the human race
… better start
[Bridge]
Time to turn our attention
To good intention
[Verse 2]
Just look around…
Our time runs down
The ability to adapt
We lack (Can’t go back)
[Chorus]
My heart…
Is starting to race
Trying to keep pace
With the human race
… better start
[Bridge]
Time to turn our attention
To good intention
[Chorus]
My heart…
Is starting to race
Trying to keep pace
With the human race
… better start
[Outro]
Time to turn our attention
To good intention
A SCIENCE NOTE
Global average sea level rose by about 0.3 inches (0.76 centimeters) from 2022 to 2023, according to a NASA-led analysis. When we authored this paper in 2023, we could not have foreseen the swift acceleration of this trend. Initially projected to double over a span of 100 years, the rate of sea level rise dramatically escalated, shortening the doubling period to a mere 10 years by 2020. Shockingly, recent observations suggest that this doubling period has further compressed to just 2 years. It is imperative to acknowledge and address this concerning trend, hoping it is not a foreboding indication of a new norm but rather an anomaly.
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 has led to the domino effect, resulting in a much more rapid and severe climate change than currently projected.
