To those in climate science, planetary science, or related fields… It was always a question mark about why Antarctica seemed so stable with regard to ice loss while Greenland was melting so quickly. Perhaps it was something as simple as thermal inertia, which needed to be overcome, or some threshold that needed to be passed…
Alright stop, nuculate and glisten
Ice was stacked in polar suspension
The cold held those glaciers oh so tightly
Too much melt can’t be taken lightly
“Will it ever stop?” Yo, I don’t know
Turn off the gas, or we’ll all go
Climate extreme, global warming is a scandal
Soon both our poles’ll be too hot to handle
Melt, like a slow Hiroshima
It’s killing coastal towns surer than Katrina
Deadly, for all of humanity
COP28 was both late and a banality
Believe it or don’t, the water’s coming your way
Drop carbon emissions, don’t waste a day
There is a real problem, yo, who’ll solve it?
Antarctic melting is apocalyptic shit
Ice-ice-baby!
It’s losing ice-ice-baby!
