    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!
