[Intro]
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]
A generation
(Until the next lifecycle)
A population
(From suckle to suckle)
[Verse 1]
Father to son
Mother to daughter
Then, son has one
And, daughter’s at the alter
[Chorus]
A generation
(Until the next lifecycle)
A population
(From suckle to suckle)
[Bridge]
Is another lifecycle viable
(Undeniable)
We veered diabolical
(To illogical)
[Verse 2]
Generation
(Of lifecycles)
Population
(Cuts and kills)
[Chorus]
A generation
(Until the next lifecycle)
A population
(From suckle to suckle)
[Bridge]
Is another lifecycle viable
(Undeniable)
We veered diabolical
(To illogical)
[Chorus]
A generation
(Until the next lifecycle)
A population
(From suckle to suckle)
[Outro]
How long
(Can we go wrong)
A SCIENCE NOTE
The non-linear acceleration of climate change — a dramatic reduction in the doubling time of climate change impacts. The rate at which these effects intensify has been increasing exponentially. Initially, the doubling time was approximately 100 years, but it has since decreased to 10 years and, more recently, to just 2 years.
This trend implies that the damage caused by climate change today is double what it was two years ago. In two more years, it could be four times worse, and in four years, eight times worse. These projections are conservative, assuming the doubling period does not continue to shrink further. Alarmingly, this rapid acceleration does not appear to be an anomaly. If this trajectory persists, the consequences will likely be far more catastrophic than previously anticipated.
The evidence is clear: climate change is rapidly accelerating, and the costs — both economic and human — are growing exponentially. The future demands decisive and immediate action to curb greenhouse gas emissions and prevent further environmental and societal collapse. Our updated climate model, now integrating complex social-ecological factors, shows that global temperatures could rise by up to 9°C within this century. This kind of warming could bring us dangerously close to the “wet-bulb” threshold, where heat and humidity exceed the human body’s ability to cool itself, leading to fatal consequences.
