Jekyll or Hide? (Pocket Chicken II)

What story should be told?
Is Pocket Chicken a hero or a villain?
Does he punish those who abuse their power in the world, or is he the one to be feared?

[Intro]
Knock, knock
(Who is it?)

[Verse 1]
Are you here to save
Or ravage and rave
Bringing on rage
Out of the cage

[Chorus]
Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?
(Oh, no!) You can’t hide
Wolf in sheep’s clothing
Or just a sheep, loathing

[Bridge]
Should we fear
Or hold dear
Steering clear
Drawing near

[Verse 2]
Hero or a villain
Zero or just chillin’
(Oh, so) complex
It does perplex

[Chorus]
Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?
(Oh, no!) You can’t hide
Wolf in sheep’s clothing
Or just a sheep, loathing

[Bridge]
Chicken or lion
Pocket Chicken
Heal or sicken?
Quicken or lyin’

[Chorus]
Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?
(Oh, no!) You can’t hide
Wolf in sheep’s clothing
Or just a sheep, loathing

[Bridge]
Should we fear
Or hold dear
Steering clear
Drawing near

[Outro]
What’s the role
Of your toll?

From the continuing Adventures of Pocket Chicken.

A SCIENCE NOTE
The root of the climate crisis lies with us — the people. Government officials simply reflect our choices. Until consumer demands become more socially responsible, we’ll continue to get exactly what we want — and deserve. Each person bears the responsibility to minimize pollution, discontinue the use of fossil fuels, reduce consumption, and foster a culture of love and care. Only then can we drive the collective action needed to address the climate crisis and build a sustainable future.

Music has the power to foster a culture of love and care by influencing emotions, strengthening social bonds, and promoting empathy and unity. Here’s how it does so:

  1. Emotional Connection: Music taps into deep emotional responses, encouraging listeners to feel compassion, empathy, and understanding. Songs that convey messages of love, kindness, and care can inspire similar feelings in listeners. This helps create a shared emotional experience that transcends individual differences and fosters a sense of community.
  2. Social Bonding: Music brings people together through shared experiences, whether at concerts, social gatherings, or community events. Singing and playing music together builds unity and helps individuals connect emotionally. In many cultures, communal singing is a way to express love and support, strengthening social ties and creating a sense of belonging.
  3. Positive Messages: Many songs explicitly promote love, peace, and understanding. Lyrics can serve as a medium to spread positive values, encouraging people to act with kindness and care in their everyday lives. For example, songs with themes of forgiveness or unity can inspire listeners to approach conflicts more compassionately.
  4. Healing and Coping: Music is often used in therapeutic settings to help people deal with trauma, grief, or stress. It promotes emotional healing, helping individuals cope with difficult feelings and fostering a sense of care for themselves and others. This healing aspect of music can lead to greater emotional resilience and a stronger inclination toward love and care for those around them.
  5. Cultural and Social Movements: Historically, music has played a central role in social movements advocating for love, peace, and justice. For instance, songs from the civil rights movement or anti-war protests have spread messages of unity, fostering a culture that values care for others and works toward collective well-being.

By promoting emotional resonance, strengthening community bonds, and conveying messages of care, music serves as a powerful tool for creating a more loving and compassionate society.

A SCIENCE NOTE
Push a glass toward the edge of a table and eventually it will fall off on its own. No matter how slowly or meticulously you push… no matter how you weight or fill the glass, it will reach a tipping point and fall off before being pushed completely off the table. No matter whether you believe the glass is half-empty or half-full, when the tipping point is reached it will plummet out-of-control to its end. This is science not fate, faith, nor belief. Human induced climate change has resulted in environmental tipping points being breached.

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.

Tipping points, when crossed, trigger self-sustaining feedback loops that are no longer dependent on human activity. Similar to when a domino topples over hitting two more dominoes that in turn fall hitting more dominoes. Thus, the name The Domino Effect. It can also be visualized as The Snowball Effect. A tipping point is like a snowball rolling down a hill growing in mass and velocity (momentum). When a tipping point is crossed, it results in cumulative and reinforced global warming.

9 Climate Change Tipping Points Crossed
At least nine tipping points have been crossed. The first dominoes have fallen and will continue to knock down more tiles with each escalating step. The crossing of these nine climate tipping points represents a critical threshold in the Earth’s climate system, with potentially irreversible consequences for global ecosystems and human societies:

  • Greenland Ice Sheet Collapse: The melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet has accelerated in recent years, leading to increased rates of ice loss and sea level rise. As glaciers retreat and ice shelves collapse, vast quantities of freshwater enter the ocean, disrupting marine ecosystems and contributing to global sea level rise.
  • West Antarctic Ice Sheet Collapse: Similar to Greenland, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is experiencing rapid melting and destabilization. The collapse of this ice sheet has the potential to raise sea levels by several meters, inundating coastal areas and triggering widespread impacts on infrastructure, agriculture, and human populations.
  • Labrador-Irminger Seas/SPG Convection Collapse: The collapse of convection in the Labrador-Irminger Seas, part of the North Atlantic Ocean, could disrupt the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). This circulation pattern plays a crucial role in regulating global climate and ocean circulation, influencing weather patterns and heat distribution worldwide.
  • East Antarctic Subglacial Basins Collapse: The East Antarctic Ice Sheet contains vast quantities of ice, much of which is grounded below sea level. The collapse of subglacial basins in East Antarctica could lead to rapid ice loss and contribute to sea level rise, with potentially far-reaching consequences for coastal regions and global climate stability.
  • Arctic Winter Sea Ice Collapse: Arctic sea ice has been declining rapidly in extent and thickness due to rising temperatures. The loss of winter sea ice in the Arctic not only accelerates regional warming but also affects global weather patterns, ocean circulation, and biodiversity in the Arctic ecosystem.
  • East Antarctic Ice Sheet Collapse: While traditionally considered more stable than its western counterpart, the East Antarctic Ice Sheet is also vulnerable to collapse under continued warming. The disintegration of ice shelves and glaciers in East Antarctica could significantly contribute to sea level rise and alter ocean circulation patterns.
  • Amazon Rainforest Dieback: Deforestation, drought, and climate change threaten the resilience of the Amazon Rainforest, the world’s largest tropical rainforest. The dieback of the Amazon could result in decreased rainfall, increased carbon emissions, and loss of biodiversity, impacting regional and global climate systems.
  • Boreal Permafrost Collapse: Permafrost in the northern regions of the globe contains vast stores of carbon in the form of frozen organic matter. As permafrost thaws due to rising temperatures, it releases greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide, further exacerbating climate change and creating a feedback loop of increased warming.
  • Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Collapse: The collapse of the AMOC, driven by changes in ocean temperature and salinity, could have profound consequences for global climate stability. Disruption of this circulation pattern could lead to abrupt shifts in weather patterns, including changes in temperature, precipitation, and ocean currents, with far-reaching impacts on ecosystems and human societies.

Reporting In

[Verse 1]
Reporting in
On our situation
Resulting out
Of frustration

[Bridge]
[Instrumental]
Mankind’s unwind (no you won’t find)

[Chorus]
Upon introspection
We’re headed one direction
Downward spiral
Now we’ve all gone viral

[Verse 2]
Reporting in
On our whereabouts (O.K.)
Resulting in
A knockout (K.O.)
Ohh….

[Bridge]

Mankind’s unwind (halted from grind)
Lost the kind kind (no you won’t find)

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Mankind’s unwind
Lost the kind kind
(oh no you won’t find)

A SCIENCE NOTE
The current state of climate change is deeply concerning, as multiple indicators show we are crossing critical tipping points. These tipping points represent thresholds beyond which certain parts of the Earth’s climate system undergo irreversible change. Some examples include the melting of ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, the collapse of the Amazon rainforest into a savannah, and the thawing of permafrost, which would release vast amounts of greenhouse gases, accelerating warming.

Compounding this are feedback loops where warming accelerates the processes that generate even more warming, such as the release of methane from thawing permafrost or reduced carbon absorption by oceans and forests. These interconnected and self-reinforcing processes make it increasingly difficult to reverse climate breakdown. Scientists are urging immediate action to mitigate these risks by promoting positive social and technological tipping points, such as shifts to renewable energy and sustainable practices.

In short, the Earth is on a dangerous trajectory, and time to act is running out. The consequences of inaction could become irreversible within a few decades, highlighting the urgent need for global coordination and decisive climate action.

All’s Quiet on the Western Front

[Verse 1]
All’s quiet on the western front,
(But the silence screams inside)
Battles we thought were won…
(Still haunt us through the night)

[Bridge]
To be blunt
(What resides inside)
Are we done
(Have we gained insight)

[Chorus]
All’s quiet on the western front
(We don’t and we won’t)
All’s quiet on the western front
(Affront our manhunt)

[Verse 2]
Holding onto a fragile peace,
While the storms brew below,
All’s quiet on the western front,
But the cracks begin to show.

[Bridge]
Can we cease
Do we know
Confront
The battle front

[Chorus]
All’s quiet on the western front
(We don’t and we won’t)
All’s quiet on the western front
(Affront our manhunt)

[Outro]
While the storms brew below…
(The cracks begin to show)
Oh, oh, oh

A SCIENCE NOTE
A September 2024 report published in the journal Science concluded that a 9-day seismic event in September 2023 was triggered by the collapse of a Greenland glacier and mountain, resulting in a 200-meter tsunami. The initial shockwaves traveled from the Arctic to Antarctica within an hour. Trapped in a fjord, the tsunami generated recurring 90-second seismic events as the wave repeatedly bounced between the fjord’s walls.

Tipped Tipping Points, Feedback Loops, and the Domino Effect
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.

* Our climate model uses chaos theory in an attempt to adequately account for humans and forecasts a global average temperature increase of 9 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Everybody has the responsibility not to pollute. There are plenty of things you can do to help save the planet. Stop using fossil fuels. Consume less. Love more. Here is a list of additional actions you can take.

The Decision

[Intro]
Decision

[Verse 1]
The decision
(To stay or go)
A decision
(Do we know?)

[Chorus]
The choice
Of our voice
Our decision
In collision

[Bridge]
A lack of progress
In success

[Verse 2]
The decision
(To or fro)
Indecision
(Do we know?)

[Chorus]
The choice
Of our voice
Our decision
In collision

[Bridge]
A lack of progress
In success

[Chorus]
The choice
Of our voice
Our decision
In collision

[Outro]
A lack of progress
In success

A SCIENCE NOTE
Our climate model employs chaos theory to assess human impacts. Global warming is driven by increased thermal energy within the climate system, a complex web of interconnected subsystems. Previous models often failed to account for “social-ecological systems,” where human activity significantly alters climate dynamics.

The U.S. is among the least prepared nations, with the highest percentage of climate deniers. Political inaction exacerbates the problem, particularly as the Republican Party often dismisses climate change as a fabricated issue while advocating for increased fossil fuel production. Ironically, human industrial activities are a primary cause of climate change. Despite some progress under President Biden, the U.S. remains the world’s largest producer of oil and gas, with both major political parties favoring emergency disaster funding over proactive climate prevention measures.

In 2023, the U.S. experienced 28 major weather and climate-related disasters, each costing over a billion dollars. These events included hurricanes, wildfires, severe storms, and flooding, some causing economic damages of hundreds of billions of dollars. Compounding these challenges, in June 2024, the Supreme Court significantly curtailed the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority, limiting its ability to regulate emissions and enforce environmental standards — a severe blow to decades of progress.

The government’s actions reveal a troubling mix of ignorance and indifference, turning what were once “worst-case” climate predictions into our current “best-case” scenarios. Updated climate models, now incorporating social-ecological factors, project that global temperatures could rise by as much as 9°C within this century — a drastic increase compared to previous estimates of a 4°C rise over the next millennium. Such extreme warming could push the planet toward a critical “wet-bulb” temperature threshold, where heat and humidity exceed the human body’s capacity to cool itself, posing severe and potentially lethal health risks. The need for decisive and immediate action has never been more urgent as climate change continues to spiral beyond control.

Unfortunately, that’s the reality. The root of the problem lies with us — the people. Government officials simply reflect our choices. Until consumer demands become more socially responsible, we’ll continue to get exactly what we want — and deserve. Each person bears the responsibility to minimize pollution, discontinue the use of fossil fuels, reduce consumption, and foster a culture of love and care. Only then can we drive the collective action needed to address the climate crisis and build a sustainable future.

(Oh, no, no, no)

[Outro]
Take it with a grain salt
But it’s our fault

A SCIENCE NOTE
Climate change is affecting the oceans’ saline solution, or salinity, in complex ways due to changes in temperature, precipitation, and freshwater input from melting ice. The following are some key impacts:

1. Regional Changes in Salinity

  • Increased Salinity in Some Areas: In regions with more evaporation due to rising temperatures (such as the subtropics), ocean salinity increases. Warmer air can hold more moisture, which leads to higher evaporation rates, leaving behind saltier waters.
  • Decreased Salinity in Other Areas: Conversely, regions experiencing more precipitation or freshwater influx from melting glaciers and ice caps (such as the polar regions and coastal areas) will see a dilution of salt content, reducing salinity. This is particularly noticeable in areas like the North Atlantic, where freshwater from Greenland’s ice sheet is flowing into the ocean.

2. Disruption of Ocean Circulation

Ocean salinity is a key factor in driving thermohaline circulation, also known as the “global conveyor belt,” which helps regulate global climate by moving heat around the planet. Changes in salinity can disrupt this circulation. For example, a significant reduction in salinity in the North Atlantic could weaken or even shut down the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which helps transport warm water from the tropics to the North Atlantic. This could lead to drastic climate shifts, including cooling in Europe and changes in monsoon patterns.

3. Impact on Marine Ecosystems

Changes in salinity affect marine life, as many species are adapted to specific salinity ranges. Fluctuations in ocean salinity can disrupt the habitats of organisms such as fish, corals, and plankton, impacting biodiversity and food chains. In areas where salinity is increasing, some species may struggle to survive, while others may thrive in the altered conditions, leading to shifts in ecosystem dynamics.

4. Ocean Acidification

While salinity changes are a direct consequence of climate change, rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels also lead to ocean acidification, which interacts with salinity. Acidification alters the chemical composition of seawater, affecting the ability of organisms like shellfish and corals to build their calcium carbonate structures, which can further stress marine ecosystems already dealing with salinity changes.

5. Sea Level Rise and Coastal Impacts

Freshwater from melting ice sheets and glaciers contributes to sea level rise, and when this fresh water mixes with ocean water, it dilutes the saline solution. In coastal areas, changes in salinity can affect estuarine and brackish water ecosystems, leading to the displacement of species and altering local fisheries.

In summary, climate change is causing uneven salinity shifts across the world’s oceans, which can disrupt ocean circulation, marine ecosystems, and global climate patterns. The regional nature of these changes highlights the interconnectedness of the climate system, with potential feedback loops that could further accelerate both salinity changes and broader environmental impacts.

Here We Come

[Intro]
Out of the way
We claim the day

[Verse 1]
Here we come
Are we really that dumb
Marching headlong
On headstrong

[Chorus]
We’re on parade
Living a charade
Don’t really care
’bout you over there

[Bridge]
Not knowing right from wrong
… headstrong
(It won’t be long)

[Verse 2]
There we go
We don’t really know
Marching headlong
On headstrong

[Chorus]
We’re on parade
Living a charade
Don’t really care
’bout you over there

[Bridge]
Not knowing right from wrong
… headstrong
(It won’t be long)

[Chorus]
We’re on parade
Living a charade
Don’t really care
’bout you over there

[Outro]
Not knowing right from wrong
… headstrong
(It won’t be long)
