A SCIENCE NOTE
Global warming has caused irreparable damage to our environment. Almost all scientists agree that IN FACT global warming is a problem. Humans have caused the destruction of the Earth’s environment. Our planet has become unfit for human life. Now the question is can we adapt in time?

The answer is “probably not.”

 

The author of research published in the journal Nature Climate Change said, “we’re not going to be able to adapt to climate change.“”And once we have destabilized these ice sheets, there will be no stable coastline for centuries. I repeat: There will be no stable coastline for centuries. I apologize to the children,” said Sidd Mukherjee in the paper Longthaw.

Research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports, “by 2070, around 2 billion people are expected to live in extremely hot areas” similar to the Sahara Desert.

The study Greatly Enhanced Risk to Humans From Heat Stress found the world’s population will experience — for the first time in human history — prolonged exposures to uncompensable extreme moist heat. Humans will struggle to adapt to these conditions in a warmer world as they will present widespread challenges across many aspects of food-energy-water security, human health, and economic development.

Time is no longer running out to act on climate change; it’s up,” reports Deloitte.

Dr. William Colgan said, “A collapse of the colossal east Antarctic ice sheet, which would lead to a 52-metre rise in sea levels if it all melted, could be averted if rapid climate action is taken.”

Monitored populations of vertebrates (mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish) have already seen a devastating 69% drop. Many scientists believe we are living through the sixth mass extinction, and that it is being driven by humans. “Despite the science, the catastrophic projections, the impassioned speeches and promises, the burning forests, submerged countries, record temperatures and displaced millions, world leaders continue to sit back and watch our world burn in front of our eyes,” said Tanya Steele, chief executive at WWF-UK. “The climate and nature crises, their fates entwined, are not some faraway threat our grandchildren will solve with still-to-be-discovered technology.”

Air and water are the two most basic needs for human survival. Fresh air and fresh water are becoming scarce natural resources. Air pollution is now the leading cause of death and contributor to illness. Fresh water is being threatened by a decreasing supply of potable water, as well as, salt water intrusion due to the rising sea level.

A SCIENCE NOTE

If you’re wondering why rain-related severe weather events are becoming more frequent and intense, it’s due to climate change. Rising temperatures increase the amount of humidity in the atmosphere, as warmer air holds more moisture. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation shows that for every 1°C (1.8°F) increase in temperature, the air can hold about 7% more water vapor.

Many areas in the U.S. are experiencing average temperature increases of up to 10°C, extending over more weeks during both spring and fall. This increase allows the atmosphere to hold about 70% more water vapor, leading to significantly more rainfall. Additionally, raindrops are becoming larger and falling faster, which increases their momentum. Using the formula p=mv (momentum = mass x velocity), larger and faster raindrops carry more energy.

Moreover, the number of raindrops is also increasing. A higher concentration of raindrops in a given time and area further boosts momentum. For example, if N raindrops, each with mass m and velocity v, hit a surface area A per second, the total momentum impacting the surface is Nmv per second. This contributes to increased force and damage during rainstorms.

The end result is an increase not only in the frequency and intensity of storms but also in the momentum of falling rain, which intensifies their impact.

Violent Rain
What turns these severe weather events into ‘violent rain events’ is the application of the drag equation and flow dynamics.

Mass and velocity are just part of the equation; density also plays a key role. The combination of these variables increases the intensity of flow forces. Wind and water forces scale with the square of velocity, meaning that as flow speeds increase — due to more intense heating or heavier rainfall — the damage scales accordingly. According to drag physics, force is proportional to density times the square of velocity.

For example, a 20-mile-an-hour wind exerts four times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind, while a 40-mile-an-hour wind exerts 16 times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind. At 50 miles an hour, the force is 25 times greater, and at 60 miles an hour, it’s 36 times greater than at 10 miles an hour. Now, add the density factor: water is about 800 times denser than air, so a 10-mile-an-hour water flow exerts 800 times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind.

As flow velocities increase due to climate change, the forces — and thus the damage — scale with the square of the velocities. While we may not know precisely how much velocities will rise with climate change, we’re already seeing the effects: overwhelmed flood and sewage systems, collapsing hillsides, and more.

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.

[Outro]

A SCIENCE NOTE
The rapid intensification of hurricanes, as seen with Hurricane Helene (2024) and Hurricane Milton (2024), is directly tied to climate change. Warmer waters, higher atmospheric moisture, and rising sea levels are creating more powerful storms that cause greater damage. These trends indicate that as global temperatures rise, hurricanes will continue to become stronger, more frequent, and harder to predict.

“No place is safe from violent rain.” Unfortunately, the doubling time for the severity of these storms has dropped from 100 years to just 2 years. In other words, you can expect twice as much damage as we saw two years ago—and four times as much damage in another two years. Twenty years ago, we were confident that humans would change their behavior before it reached this point. Not only have we failed to do so, but we’ve also increased our reliance on fossil fuels. At the current rate of pollution, much of the Earth could become uninhabitable within this century — potentially within the lifetimes of our grandchildren. This outcome is entirely preventable, but our drive for mass consumption continues to dominate our actions.

And, wouldn’t you know
(Just like that. Splat!)
The solid ice…
Was melting snow

[Bridge]
Drip (Drip, drip)
Dripping (More than just a bit)

[Verse]
A trickle
Then, a spurt
Developing wrinkle
You knew would hurt
[Bridge]
Yet, nevertheless….
[Break]
Headlong
[Bridge]
Breathless
(Headstrong)

[Verse 2]
And, wouldn’t you know
(Just like that. Splat!)
The falling rain…
(On the brain)
Cannot sustain

[Bridge]
Drip (Drip, drip)
Dripping (More than just a bit)

[Verse]
A trickle
Then, a spurt
Developing wrinkle
You knew would hurt
[Bridge]
Yet, nevertheless….
Headlong

[Outro]
Breathless
(Headstrong)

Long gone

ABOUT THE SONG
“Developing Wrinkle” uses vivid imagery and metaphor to convey the urgency and impact of climate change. Here’s an interpretation of the song’s themes and meanings:

Intro

The opening lines introduce a sense of surprise and inevitability. The phrase “just like that” suggests a sudden realization about the consequences of climate change, specifically the melting of ice. The mention of “solid ice” turning into “melting snow” emphasizes the immediate effects of rising temperatures on the environment.

Bridge

The repetitive sounds of “drip” highlight the gradual but relentless nature of climate change. It reflects how small changes (like dripping water) can accumulate, leading to more significant consequences. The phrase “more than just a bit” suggests that the changes are becoming more pronounced and alarming.

Verse 1

The imagery of a “trickle” turning into a “spurt” signifies the escalation of climate impacts, such as melting ice or increased rainfall. The term “developing wrinkle” can be interpreted as the emergence of new challenges and complications associated with climate change—wrinkles often symbolize stress and problems that arise over time. The line “you knew would hurt” implies a foreknowledge of the negative consequences of these changes.

Bridge & Break

The repeated phrases “yet, nevertheless…” and “headlong” create a sense of determination or urgency to confront the challenges ahead. “Breathless” suggests the overwhelming nature of the situation, while “headstrong” implies a stubbornness or unwillingness to change despite the mounting evidence of danger.

Verse 2

The second verse echoes the sentiments of the first, reinforcing the theme of unexpected consequences. “Falling rain” represents both a literal and metaphorical burden that cannot be sustained. This could symbolize the weight of climate-related issues that individuals and societies are grappling with.

Bridge

Once again, the “drip” motif reinforces the idea of small changes leading to larger, more impactful outcomes. The repetition throughout the song emphasizes that these changes are ongoing and cannot be ignored.

Verse 3

Returning to the imagery of “trickle” and “spurt,” the song reiterates the escalating nature of climate change and its impacts. The “developing wrinkle” continues to serve as a metaphor for the complications arising from our environmental challenges, and the acknowledgment of inevitable hurt suggests that we must confront these realities.

Outro

The concluding lines, featuring “breathless” and “headstrong,” encapsulate the song’s message: the urgency of the climate crisis leaves us gasping for breath, yet there is still a stubborn determination to face the consequences head-on.

Overall Interpretation

“Developing Wrinkle” reflects the growing awareness of climate change’s realities and emphasizes the need for immediate action. The song conveys both the emotional weight of witnessing environmental changes and the complexities that arise from human inaction. It serves as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of our actions and the environment, urging listeners to acknowledge the urgency of the situation.

Underdog

[Intro]
More powerful than dogsled team
Able to knock down more than he may mean

[Verse 1]
He may seem meek
Or appear weak
But you’d be wrong
Underestimating how strong

[Chorus]
May not expect him to win
But, you’d better think again
From out of a fog
It’s underdog

[Bridge]
He’ll come to save you
(Comes to the rescue)
He’s sure to save the day
(And, he’s on his way)

[Verse 2]
Oh, though mild mannered
He can come down like a hammer
At any rate…
He can obliterate

[Chorus]
May not expect him to win
But, you’d better think again
From out of a fog
It’s underdog

[Bridge]
He’ll come to save you
(Comes to the rescue)
He’s sure to save the day
(And, he’s on his way)

[Chorus]
May not expect him to win
But, you’d better think again
From out of a fog
It’s underdog

[Outro]
Here to unclog…
It’s underdog

A SCIENCE NOTE

Global warming is caused by an increase in thermal energy in the climate system. The Earth is a climate system. Many subsystems make up our climate. Chaos theory emphasizes the complexity and nonlinearity of dynamic systems, and this complexity is inherent in the interactions between soil, atmosphere, and oceans in the Earth’s climate system.

Atmospheric circulation together with ocean circulation is how thermal energy is redistributed throughout the world. Chaos theory offers insights into the complex, nonlinear dynamics of climate systems role in the redistribution of thermal energy. The Earth’s climate is a highly complex and dynamic system, influenced by various factors such as ocean currents, atmospheric circulation, and feedback loops.

General Circulation Models for the earth climate are nonlinear and teleconnected. That means a small change in temperature or pressure or humidity in one small area on the globe can cause _large_ changes in conditions _anywhere_ on the globe. This is sometimes called the Butterfly effect. The complexity of these models can lead to chaotic behavior. Climate science must grapple with these models and extract results in spite of the mathematical difficulties, and there have been remarkable successes in some cases and sad failures in others. Nevertheless we must proceed.

Conclusion
Humans are making the Earth hotter. The cool water from the melting ice at the poles is being drawn toward the center of the Earth and getting warmed to record high temperatures. The warm, moist air is circulating and moving over land. The average time moisture stays in the air is 9 days before it turns into precipitation. The warmer the air becomes, the more rain the atmosphere holds and dumps; therefore, violent rain events are increasing in frequency and intensity.

The greatest short term risk to the Earth is violent rain (liquefied water vapor). The greatest short term risk to human health is deadly humid heat (hot water vapor).

* Our climate model employs chaos theory to comprehensively consider human impacts and projects a potential global average temperature increase of 9℃ above pre-industrial levels.

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. Be a butterfly and affect the world. 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 butterfly in China can cause a hurricane in the Atlantic.
Here is a list of additional actions you can take.

A SCIENCE NOTE

What will the “End of Times” look like?

“The era of global warming has ended and the era of ‘global boiling’ has arrived. Climate change is here. It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning”, UN secretary general, António Guterres, said after scientists confirmed July 2023 was on track to be the world’s hottest month on record.

This research reveals more evidence that humans will have difficulty adapting to climate change, especially those in developing countries, Mora said. “The magnitude of the vulnerability when you think about one or two diseases — okay, sure, we can deal with that,” he said. “But when you’re talking about 58% of the diseases, and 58% of those diseases can be affected or triggered in 1,000 different ways. So that, to me, was also revealing of the fact that we’re not going to be able to adapt to climate change.”

In 2023, we wrote about having crossed tipping points in the paper, “Climate Change: How Long Is ‘Ever’?“. When we wrote the Tunnel Under Thesis in 1995, we forecast crossing these tipping points would not happen for centuries. We underestimated Man’s ignorance and arrogance. Fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions have continued to set record highs. Humans have caused chain-reactions resulting in toppled tipping points, feedback loops, and The Domino Effect.

* Our climate model employs chaos theory to comprehensively consider human impacts and projects a potential global average temperature increase of 9℃ above pre-industrial levels.

A SCIENCE NOTE
When time appears to be growing shorter, it’s often referred to as time compression or time dilation in a subjective sense. This can occur due to psychological factors, such as stress, age, or being highly focused, which makes time seem to pass more quickly. On a more cosmic scale, time dilation is a concept from Einstein’s theory of relativity, where time appears to slow down near massive objects or at high velocities.

[Verse 1]
After the water recedes
(We’re down on our knees)
Please hear our pleas
(No more days like these)

[Bridge]
Ash to mud
Sweat and blood

[Chorus]
There use to be music
On the street
No longer feet
To keep the beat

[Bridge]
Mud and debris
Accompany me
It’s plain to see
Our destiny

[Verse 2]
After the water recedes
(The nation’s heart bleeds)
Please hear our pleas
(No more climate fees)

[Bridge]
Ash to mud
Sweat and blood

[Chorus]
There use to be music
On the street
No longer feet
To keep the beat

[Bridge]
Mud and debris
Accompany me
It’s plain to see
Our destiny

[Outro]
Change our destiny
From tragedy

ABOUT THE SONG
After Hurricane Helene devastated North Carolina, we heard from many musician friends in Asheville, long known for its incredible street performers. The city’s vibrant music scene may struggle to recover. Our friend shared, “I’m back, but I lost my contacts with the new phone. It’s been a rough week—I lost nearly everything, but I saved my instruments. I’m still stuck in a parking lot, trying to help where I can. People are buying the Bandcamp downloads, but I’m struggling to recover my passwords. The bus is gone, and the RV is in bad shape after 9 years. Asheville, as much as I love it, is in bad shape. I might head to Savannah to stay with my sister. My place has been all over the news. We were hit hard. So much death and destruction… it will haunt me.”

Can You Hear on Mars?

[Intro, Space]
From here to Mars…
(and, back again?)
Don’t know if I wanna….
(Go, oh, no, no)
[Break]
Can You Hear on Mars?

[Bridge]
Far’s too far
(To end from begin)
No, I’d rather not…
(Go, oh, woe, woe)

[Verse]
From fears of tears
(And, then again)
Come through years
(To arrive here)
Hear?

[Bridge]
From here to Mars…
(and, back again?)
Don’t know if I wanna….
(Go, oh, no, no)

[Chorus]
Far’s too far
(To end from begin)
No, I’d rather not…
(Go, oh, woah, woah)

[Verse]
From fears of tears
(And, then again)
Come through years
(To arrive here)
Hear?

[Bridge]
From here to Mars…
(and, back again?)
Don’t know if I wanna….
(Go, oh, no, no)

[Chorus]
Far’s too far
(To end from begin)
No, I’d rather not…
(Go, oh, woah, woah)

[Outro]
Better off by far
Being where you are

A SCIENCE NOTE
Yes, it’s possible to hear on Mars, but sound behaves differently due to the planet’s thin atmosphere, which is primarily carbon dioxide. Since Mars’ atmosphere is only about 1% as dense as Earth’s, sound waves travel less efficiently. As a result, sounds are much quieter, lower in pitch, and take longer to reach your ears. NASA’s Perseverance rover has recorded Martian sounds, showing this effect. So, no loud rock ‘n’ roll concerts on Mars. Plus, while you could hear, remember, you can’t breathe there!
