[Intro]
On the edge
(Of extreme)
Know what I mean?
(Purge before the dirge)
[Verse 1]
What do you deem extreme
(Living on the edge of life)
What do you dream the scene
(A life rife with strife?)
[Chorus]
On the edge
(Of extreme)
Know what I mean?
(Purge before the dirge)
[Bridge]
On the extreme edge
(Of humanity’s pledge)
“Promise… and hope to die”
(Why?)
[Verse 2]
Is your dream too extreme
(Living live or let die)
Closing your eyes to seen
(Why bother to try)
[Chorus]
On the edge
(Of extreme)
Know what I mean?
(Purge before the dirge)
[Bridge]
On the extreme edge
(Of humanity’s pledge)
“Promise… and hope to die”
(Why?)
[Chorus]
On the edge
(Of extreme)
Know what I mean?
(Purge before the dirge)
[Outro]
Or all fall
(Think extinct)
On the extreme edge
(Of humanity’s pledge)
“Promise… and hope to die”
(Why?)
When we could choose love
(Above)
… choose love.
ABOUT THE SONG AND THE SCIENCE: Foster a Culture of Love and Care
Q: What is happening with climate change?
A: It is accelerating at an exponential rate — far faster than the public narrative or old models suggest.
For years, the world was taught to focus on “holding global warming to 1.5°C.” But that number has quietly become meaningless. Not only have we likely crossed it already, the real danger is not the temperature itself — it is the tipping points that crossing that threshold has set in motion. These tipping points have triggered cascading, self-reinforcing feedback loops that are now reshaping Earth’s systems with unprecedented speed.
We are not approaching a climate crisis.
We are living inside its accelerating phase.
A Planet in Nonlinear Transition
These are not distant projections.
These are real-time runaway feedbacks already visible across ecosystems, oceans, and the atmosphere.
The climate system is now governed by compound nonlinear interactions:
Arctic amplification
ocean heat accumulation
ozone stress
runaway wildfires
permafrost collapse
accelerating hydrological extremes
Each amplifies the others in ways models struggle to capture.
The central scientific question is no longer:
“Will feedback loops accelerate warming?”
It is now:
“How much time is left before cascading feedbacks overwhelm natural and human systems?”
Our research is focused on precisely this:
mapping the speed, scale, and irreversibility of climate feedbacks — and determining how close Earth is to thresholds that will define the trajectory of human civilization.
* Our probabilistic, ensemble-based climate model — which incorporates complex socio-economic and ecological feedback loops within a dynamic, nonlinear system — projects that global temperatures are becoming unsustainable this century. This far exceeds earlier estimates of a 4°C rise over the next thousand years, highlighting a dramatic acceleration in global warming. We are now entering a phase of compound, cascading collapse, where climate, ecological, and societal systems destabilize through interlinked, self-reinforcing feedback loops.
What Can I Do?
The single most important action you can take to help address the climate crisis is simple: stop burning fossil fuels. 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. 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. Be a butterfly and affect the world.
Here is a list of additional actions you can take.
Tipping points and feedback loops drive the acceleration of climate change. When one tipping point is breached and triggers others, the cascading collapse is known as the Domino Effect.
