A SCIENCE LESSON
In mathematics, the uppercase delta (Δ) symbolizes “change” or “the change” in various contexts. For example, when denoting a variable x that represents the movement of an object, “Δx” indicates “the change in movement.” This mathematical concept of delta finds widespread application across diverse branches of science.

In physics, an agent of change often manifests as an applied force — a force exerted on an object by an external source. Applied forces can induce alterations in an object’s velocity or structural integrity. For instance, when pushing a box across the floor, an applied force is exerted, prompting the box to undergo a change in position, speed, and direction.

A SCIENCE LESSON
The Greek letter delta (Δ) serves as a symbol of transformation in the realm of mathematics, denoting change or variation. For instance, when applied to a variable like x, Δx represents the alteration or shift in its value, embodying the essence of mathematical evolution. This concept finds widespread application across diverse scientific disciplines, serving as a fundamental tool for understanding dynamic systems and phenomena.

In the realm of physics an “agent of change” refers to any force or interaction capable of instigating a transformation in the state of an object or system. From the microscopic world of subatomic particles to the grandeur of cosmic phenomena, agents of change wield influence over the fabric of reality itself.

Within the discipline of climate change, agents of change manifest as the driving forces behind alterations in the Earth’s climate system. They are the catalysts behind global warming, the architects of shifting weather patterns, and environmental upheaval. As humanity grapples with the consequences of its actions, understanding and addressing these agents of change becomes paramount in charting a sustainable course for the future.

One such potent force is that of nuclear forces. These forces are the invisible bonds that bind atomic nuclei together, shaping the structure of the elements and driving the processes of nuclear fusion and fission. Through the fusion of atomic nuclei, stars are born. Conversely, the fission of heavy nuclei releases tremendous amounts of energy, with profound implications for both power generation and weaponry. Nuclear forces stand as formidable agents of change, shaping the fabric of reality on both the cosmic and the atomic scales.

A SCIENCE LESSON
Uppercase delta (Δ) means “change” or “the change” in math. An example in which a variable x stands for the movement of an object: “Δx” means “the change in movement.” Scientists make use of this mathematical meaning of delta in various branches of science. In physics, an agent of change typically refers to a force or an interaction that causes a change in the state of an object or system. In the context of climate change, agents of change are factors or mechanisms that contribute to alterations in the Earth’s climate system, leading to global warming, shifts in weather patterns, and other environmental impacts.

Spring Force: When a spring is stretched or compressed, it exerts a force that tries to restore it to its equilibrium position. This force is known as the spring force. It can cause changes in the position or velocity of objects attached to the spring.

A SCIENCE LESSON
Uppercase delta (Δ) means “change” or “the change” in math. An example in which a variable x stands for the movement of an object: “Δx” means “the change in movement.” Scientists make use of this mathematical meaning of delta in various branches of science. In physics, an agent of change typically refers to a force or an interaction that causes a change in the state of an object or system. Here are some examples:

  1. Gravity: Gravity is a fundamental force that acts between objects with mass. It causes objects to accelerate toward each other. For example, the gravitational force of the Earth causes objects to fall when dropped.
  2. Electromagnetic Force: The electromagnetic force is responsible for interactions between charged particles. It includes both electric and magnetic forces. For instance, the attraction between opposite charges and repulsion between like charges are examples of electromagnetic interactions.
  3. Friction: Friction is a force that opposes the motion of objects in contact with each other. It can cause changes in the speed or direction of an object’s motion. For example, friction between the tires of a car and the road surface slows down the car when the brakes are applied.
  4. Applied Forces: Applied forces are external forces that are exerted on an object by an external agent. These forces can cause changes in an object’s velocity or deformation. For instance, pushing a box across the floor applies a force that causes the box to move.
  5. Spring Force: When a spring is stretched or compressed, it exerts a force that tries to restore it to its equilibrium position. This force is known as the spring force. It can cause changes in the position or velocity of objects attached to the spring.
  6. Nuclear Forces: Nuclear forces are the forces that hold atomic nuclei together. They can cause changes in the structure of atomic nuclei through processes such as nuclear fusion or fission.

These are just a few examples of agents of change in physics. In general, any force or interaction that causes a change in the motion, position, or state of an object or system can be considered an agent of change in physics.

In the context of climate change, agents of change are factors or mechanisms that contribute to alterations in the Earth’s climate system, leading to global warming, shifts in weather patterns, and other environmental impacts. Here are some examples of agents of change in climate change:

  1. Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), deforestation, industrial processes, and agriculture, release greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide) into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to an increase in global temperatures.
  2. Deforestation: The clearing of forests for agriculture, logging, urbanization, and other purposes reduces the Earth’s capacity to absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. This contributes to higher levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and disrupts the balance of greenhouse gases.
  3. Land Use Changes: Changes in land use, including urbanization, agriculture expansion, and infrastructure development, can alter local and regional climates by modifying surface albedo (reflectivity), evapotranspiration rates, and heat absorption.
  4. Industrial Activities: Industrial processes, such as cement production, chemical manufacturing, and metal smelting, emit greenhouse gases and other pollutants into the atmosphere. These activities contribute to global warming and air pollution, affecting both climate and human health.
  5. Transportation: The combustion of fossil fuels in vehicles, airplanes, ships, and other modes of transportation releases greenhouse gases and other pollutants into the atmosphere. The transportation sector is a significant contributor to global carbon emissions.
  6. Agricultural Practices: Agricultural activities, including livestock farming, rice cultivation, and fertilizer use, produce methane and nitrous oxide emissions, both potent greenhouse gases. Changes in agricultural practices can influence greenhouse gas emissions and land use patterns.
  7. Inexplicable Consumer Choices: Consumer behavior can sometimes defy logic or go against the imperative of addressing climate change and environmental degradation. Addressing these behaviors often requires a combination of education, policy interventions, market incentives, and societal norms to encourage more sustainable choices.

These examples illustrate how various human activities and natural processes act as agents of change in the Earth’s climate system, leading to observable impacts on the environment and society. Addressing climate change requires mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, promoting sustainable land use practices, and adapting to changing climate conditions.

A SCIENCE LESSON
HOUSTON (May 4, 2024) — Following a deluge of heavy storms that battered the region, the Houston area faced escalating flood threats on Saturday, prompting authorities to issue urgent evacuation warnings for residents in low-lying areas. With a flood watch in place until Sunday afternoon, forecasters anticipated additional rainfall Saturday night, potentially adding another 1 to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.6 centimeters) of water to the already saturated terrain and heightening the risk of severe flooding. Friday’s torrential downpours triggered numerous high-water rescues, including dramatic rooftop operations to save stranded residents from inundated homes.

“This threat is evolving and intensifying. It’s not just another river flood,” emphasized Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, the leading elected official in the nation’s third-largest county.

Persistent rains in Texas and parts of Louisiana have saturated the ground and filled reservoirs for weeks. Across southeastern Texas, north of Houston, floodwaters have engulfed streets and submerged vehicles, with some homes experiencing water levels reaching their rooftops.

In the northern Houston suburb of Spring, the National Weather Service recorded over 11 inches (28 centimeters) of rainfall within a 24-hour period ending Friday morning, exacerbating the already precarious flood situation.

A SCIENCE LESSON
Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (May 4, 2024) — Catastrophic rains and flooding have unleashed havoc in southern Brazil, leaving a trail of devastation and despair in their wake. The Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul reels from the aftermath, with the toll of tragedy rising by the hour. As heavy rains pounded the region, claiming the lives of 39 souls and leaving 68 individuals unaccounted for, the state civil defense agency grapples with the enormity of the crisis.

This grim episode marks the fourth environmental catastrophe in a year, echoing the dire floods of July, September, and November 2023, which claimed a total of 75 lives. The relentless deluge has eclipsed the memory of the historic 1941 flood, as recounted by the Brazilian Geological Service, pushing water levels to unprecedented heights in cities where records span nearly 150 years.

Streets transformed into torrents, rendering towns akin to submerged landscapes. Roads and bridges buckled under the relentless surge, while the collapse of a dam at a hydroelectric plant between Bento Goncalves and Cotipora sent shockwaves of destruction through the Taquari River valley. Lajeado and Estrela bore the brunt of this watery onslaught, with entire communities engulfed by the unforgiving current.

In the town of Feliz, nestled 50 miles (80 kilometers) from the state capital, Porto Alegre, the once-mighty river swelled beyond recognition, swallowing bridges whole and severing vital connections with neighboring settlements like Linha Nova. As Rio Grande do Sul grapples with this unparalleled catastrophe, the resilience of its people shines through amidst the darkness of despair.

A SCIENCE LESSON
“Response to external forcings” refers to how a system reacts or changes in response to external influences or drivers. In the context of climate science, external forcings typically refer to factors outside of the Earth’s climate system that can influence the climate. Humans are the “External Forcings” and climate change is the response.

Man is his own worst enemy in relation to climate change in several ways:

  1. Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels for energy, industrial processes, and transportation, release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. These emissions trap heat, leading to global warming and climate change.
  2. Deforestation: Clearing forests for agriculture, logging, and urban development reduces the Earth’s capacity to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Deforestation also disrupts ecosystems, diminishes biodiversity, and contributes to habitat loss and species extinction.
  3. Overconsumption and Waste: Excessive consumption of resources, including energy, water, and materials, contributes to environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the disposal of waste, particularly plastics, contributes to pollution and harms ecosystems, wildlife, and marine life.
  4. Industrial Agriculture: Intensive farming practices, including livestock production and monoculture crops, contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, soil degradation, and water pollution. These practices also exacerbate biodiversity loss and contribute to the depletion of natural resources.
  5. Inefficiencies in Energy Use: Wasteful energy practices, inefficient technologies, and reliance on fossil fuels contribute to higher emissions and exacerbate climate change. Transitioning to renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency can help mitigate these impacts.
  6. Lack of Sustainable Practices: Failure to prioritize sustainability in business, government policies, and individual behaviors perpetuates environmentally harmful practices and accelerates climate change. Adopting sustainable practices, such as conservation, renewable energy, and eco-friendly transportation, is essential for mitigating climate change.
  7. Denial and Inaction: Despite overwhelming scientific evidence, some individuals, corporations, and governments deny or downplay the reality of climate change. This denial and reluctance to take decisive action delay efforts to reduce emissions, adapt to climate impacts, and transition to a sustainable future.

Overall, human activities drive climate change through greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, overconsumption, industrial agriculture, inefficiencies in energy use, lack of sustainable practices, and denial or inaction. Addressing these challenges requires collective action, innovative solutions, and a commitment to sustainable development to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change and safeguard the planet for future generations.

A SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT
The “fabric of the universe” is a metaphorical concept used to describe the underlying structure and composition of the cosmos. It refers to the fundamental components and forces that govern the behavior of matter, energy, space, and time at the most fundamental level. While the universe’s fabric is not a tangible material like fabric in the conventional sense, it represents the interconnectedness and interplay of various physical phenomena that shape the universe’s existence and evolution.

In the framework of modern physics, the fabric of the universe is described by theories such as general relativity and quantum mechanics. According to general relativity, spacetime is the fabric of the universe, where matter and energy warp and curve the fabric, giving rise to gravity. On the other hand, quantum mechanics describes the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, revealing the probabilistic nature of particles and the fundamental forces that govern their interactions.

Additionally, the Standard Model of particle physics provides a framework for understanding the fundamental particles and their interactions through three of the four fundamental forces: electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. However, the fabric of the universe remains incomplete without a complete understanding of the fourth fundamental force, gravity, within the context of quantum mechanics.

In summary, the fabric of the universe encompasses the fundamental principles and phenomena that underlie the cosmos’s structure and dynamics, including spacetime, fundamental particles, forces, and their interactions. It represents our ongoing quest to understand the universe’s deepest mysteries and uncover the laws that govern its existence.

Hi.
Or goodbye,
I really don’t know

[Break]
Wave!

[Chorus]
I’m sending you a signal
(come one and all)
I’m sending you a sign
(Travel throughout time)

[Break]
Wave!

[Bridge]
Sunshine on my face
Reflecting off the surface
Will they see a trace
Of our grace

[Outro]
So, wave, Hello
Wave, Good-bye
Hi
[End]

A SCIENCE LESSON

Humans primarily emit electromagnetic waves into deep space. These waves include various forms of electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays.

  1. Radio Waves: These are low-frequency electromagnetic waves used for communication and broadcasting. Radio transmissions from Earth have been traveling into space since the early days of radio technology.
  2. Microwaves: These are higher-frequency electromagnetic waves commonly used in microwave ovens and telecommunications. Some human-made signals, such as satellite communication and radar, also emit microwaves into space.
  3. Infrared Radiation: Humans and human-made objects emit infrared radiation as heat. Infrared radiation is detected by infrared telescopes and sensors, allowing astronomers to study celestial objects and phenomena.
  4. Visible Light: Sunlight reflected off Earth’s surface and human-made light sources produce visible light that travels into space. Artificial lights, cities, and human activities on Earth contribute to the visible light emissions.
  5. Ultraviolet Radiation: While humans do not emit significant amounts of ultraviolet radiation, artificial sources such as UV lamps and industrial processes may emit UV radiation into space.
  6. X-rays and Gamma Rays: Medical imaging devices, industrial equipment, and scientific instruments produce X-rays and gamma rays. However, these high-energy waves are generally absorbed by Earth’s atmosphere and do not penetrate deep into space.

Overall, the electromagnetic waves emitted by humans into deep space are primarily in the form of radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, and visible light. These emissions can be detected and studied by astronomers and scientists using space-based telescopes and instruments.

The Time of Day

Tick, tock, tick
[Break]
[Instrumental, Hammond B3 Organ, Drum Toms]

[Break]

[Verse 1]
The time of day
Quickly passed away
I was almost left in yesterday
Always ind away to today
Never left in yesterday

[Bridge]
Watching time move along
Making it day-to-day through song

[Chorus]
Live for the music (we play)
Live for the love (in-play)
Hear the harmonies in my head
Warding of foreboding dread

[Bridge]
Have you ever felt
Your troubles melt
Fading out of sight
Under a new light

[Verse 2]
The time of day, on its way
In parting had to say:
“Moving on to yesterday.”
I said, “Well, farewell,
I’m hear to stay

[Bridge]
Watching time move along
Making it day-to-day through song

[Chorus]
Live for the music (we play)
Live for the love (in-play)
Hear the harmonies in my head
Warding of foreboding dread

[Bridge]
Have you ever felt
Your troubles melt
Fading out of sight
Under a new light

[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Piano]

[Verse 3]
The time of day still in decay
Inches further (and further) away
Losing my grip, watching it slip to yesterday
No, won’t let it pull me through… I’m hear to stay

[Chorus]
Live for the music (we play)
Live for the love (in-play)
Hear the harmonies in my head
Warding of foreboding dread

[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Drum Fills]

[Bridge]
Have you ever felt
Your troubles melt
Fading out of sight
Under a new light

[Instrumental, Piano]

[Outro]
Tick, tock, tick

Vortex Shedding

[Intro]
[Instrumental, Electric Piano, Flute]
[Break]
Rock a bye baby, on the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.
[Break]

[Verse 1]
Boundary layer feeling the friction
Forcing change on wind direction
Try to calm my turbulence
Stabilize my performance

[Chorus]
It’s a fluid situation
Dynamic separation
Vortex Shedding
Whirlwind shredding

[Bridge]
Fluctuations in navigation
Swirling, whirling
Fluctuations in direction
Swirling, whirling
Turbulence and oscillations
[Break]
Do you recall:
Down will come baby, cradle and all

]Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Pressure gradient creation
Increased speed, proceed
A fluid situation
Ahhh, the wind is freed

[Chorus]
It’s a fluid situation
Dynamic separation
Vortex Shedding
Whirlwind shredding

[Bridge]
Fluctuations in navigation
Swirling, whirling
Fluctuations in direction
Swirling, whirling
Turbulence and oscillations
[Break]
Do you recall:
Down will come baby, cradle and all

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Passing through the canopy (wake flow)
Passing through the canopy (winds blow)
Fluctuations in situation
Swirling, whirling
Fluctuations in connection
Swirling, whirling
Turbulence and oscillations

Do you recall:
Down will come baby, cradle and all

[Chorus]
It’s a fluid situation
Dynamic separation
Vortex Shedding
Whirlwind shredding

[Outro]
Passing through the canopy (wake flow)
Passing through the canopy (winds blow)

[End]

A SCIENCE LESSON

The physics of wind interacting with a tree involve several factors:

  1. Fluid Dynamics: Wind behaves as a fluid, and its flow around a tree is governed by principles of fluid dynamics. As wind encounters the tree, it splits into two streams: one flowing around the tree (boundary layer flow) and another passing through the canopy (wake flow).
  2. Boundary Layer: The layer of air in direct contact with the surface of the tree forms the boundary layer. This layer experiences friction with the tree’s surface, causing a decrease in wind speed and turbulence as the air moves closer to the trunk and branches.
  3. Pressure Gradients: Wind creates pressure gradients around the tree, with higher pressure on the windward side and lower pressure on the leeward side. This pressure difference causes air to accelerate around the tree, resulting in increased wind speed on the windward side and reduced speed on the leeward side.
  4. Vortex Shedding: As wind flows past the tree, it can create vortices or swirling air patterns, known as vortex shedding. These vortices can cause fluctuations in wind speed and direction, contributing to turbulence and oscillations in the airflow.
  5. Aerodynamic Effects: The shape and structure of the tree influence how wind interacts with it. Features such as branches, leaves, and irregularities in the tree’s surface affect airflow patterns, creating areas of turbulence, separation, and recirculation.

Understanding the physics of wind-tree interactions is essential for various applications, including forestry, urban planning, and wind energy. It helps predict wind loads on trees, assess windbreak effectiveness, and optimize the design of buildings and structures in windy environments.

Ruled Against

[Verse 1[
Ruled against the rule
The citizen’s tool
Ruled against the rule
Who’s the royal fool?

[Chorus]
The government broke the law
Not surprising, after all
Seems childhood dreams
Aren’t what they seemed.

[Bridge]
High Court decision:
Defeat
Yet, upbeat
The children win
Let a new age begin

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Ruled against the tool
The children rule
Ruled against the rule
Enough rule by the cruel

[Chorus]
The government broke the law
Not surprising, after all
Seems childhood dreams
Aren’t what they seemed.

[Bridge]
High Court decision:
Defeat
Yet, upbeat
The children win
Let a new age begin

[Instrumental, Hammond B3 Organ]

[Verse 3]
Ruled against the cruel
The children’s energy, fuel
Ruled against the rule
The rule sent back to school

[Chorus]
The government broke the law
Not surprising, after all
Seems childhood dreams
Aren’t what they seemed.

[Outro]
High Court decision:
Defeat
Yet, upbeat
The children win
Let a new age begin

[End]

In England, when you lose a court case, it is commonly referred to as being “defeated” or “unsuccessful” in the legal proceedings. Additionally, if a judgment is issued against you, you are said to have “lost” the case or been “ruled against.”

A SCIENCE LESSON
Litigation seeking compensation for loss and damage caused by the actions of oil companies and governments has the potential to reshape global economics. In the past year, several legal rulings have held governments accountable for their role in exacerbating the climate crisis, signaling a shift in legal accountability and prompting broader discussions on environmental responsibility.

The latest example,n May 3, 2024, a High Court judge delivered a significant ruling, declaring the U.K. government’s actions unlawful in approving a climate plan aimed at meeting crucial emission reduction targets without sufficient evidence of its feasibility. This marked the second occasion in two years where the government’s primary climate strategy faced legal challenge and was deemed inadequate in aligning with legally-binding commitments to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

Justice Clive Sheldon’s decision, following a case brought forth by three environmental organizations, underscored the government’s failure to substantiate its approval of the Carbon Budget Delivery Plan from the previous year. The judge concluded that the government lacked justification and the plan was “simply not justified by the evidence.”

Response to External Forcings

[Verse 1]
System reaction
Due to external stimulation
The slightest nuance
Induces changes in response

[Chorus]
Enduring our external forcings
Divorcing our endorsings
Do we get it?
Of course, we are the force.
[Break]
A child sings:
[Break]
Of course, we are the force.

[Verse 2]
Increasing concentrations
Due to primate activities
Impact climate’s habitation
Bringing on scarcities

[Bridge]
Species rarities
Social disparities
Can’t divorce responsibility
Set our course for inevitability

[Chorus]
Enduring our external forcings
Divorcing our endorsings
Do we get it?
Of course, we are the force.
[Break]
A child sings:
[Break]
Of course, we are the force.

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Some chaos insight
Might shed some light
Our interconnectedness
Is causing the mess

[Bridge]
Species rarities
Social disparities
Can’t divorce responsibility
Set our course for inevitability

[Chorus]
Enduring our external forcings
Divorcing our endorsings
Do we get it?
Of course, we are the force.
[Break]
A child sings:
[Break]
Of course, we are the force.

[Outro]
Do we get it?
Of course, we are the force.

[End]

A SCIENCE LESSON
“Response to external forcings” refers to how a system reacts or changes in response to external influences or drivers. In the context of climate science, external forcings typically refer to factors outside of the Earth’s climate system that can influence the climate. These forcings can include natural factors such as volcanic eruptions, solar radiation, and orbital variations, as well as human-induced factors such as greenhouse gas emissions, land use changes, and aerosol pollution.

When scientists study the Earth’s climate system, they analyze how it responds to these external forcings. For example, changes in greenhouse gas concentrations due to human activities can lead to alterations in the Earth’s energy balance, resulting in global warming and climate change. Similarly, volcanic eruptions can release aerosols into the atmosphere, which can temporarily cool the climate by reflecting sunlight back into space.

Understanding the response of the climate system to external forcings is crucial for predicting future climate trends, assessing the impacts of human activities on the environment, and informing policies aimed at mitigating climate change. It involves complex scientific modeling and analysis to quantify the relationships between external forcings and climate variables such as temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric circulation patterns.

Chaos theory offers insights into the complex dynamics of the Earth’s atmosphere, particularly regarding the interactions between different atmospheric teleconnection patterns and their response to external forcings such as greenhouse gas emissions. Chaos theory can help elucidate how seemingly minor changes in atmospheric circulation patterns can lead to significant and often unpredictable changes in weather patterns across North America.
