[Intro]
Record breaking
(Earth shaking)
Over the top
(Just can’t stop)
[Verse 1]
Record heat
(We’ll try to beat)
Breached threshold
(Never grow old)
[Bridge]
We’re on our way
Self-inflicted foray
[Chorus]
Record breaking
(Earth shaking)
Over the top
(Just won’t stop)
[Verse 2]
Record spew
(CO2)
Surpass gas
(Way too fast)
[Bridge]
We’re on our way
To total decay
[Chorus]
Record breaking
(Earth shaking)
Over the top
(Just don’t stop)
[Bridge]
We’re on our way
Into dismay
[Outro]
Record breaking
(Earth baking)
About to drop
(Record stop)
A SCIENCE NOTE
Recent years have witnessed unprecedented climate records, underscoring the escalating impact of human-induced global warming. Here’s an overview of some significant milestones:
Record-Breaking Global Temperatures
2024 was confirmed as the hottest year on record, with global average temperatures reaching 1.55°C above pre-industrial levels. This marks the first time a full calendar year has surpassed the critical 1.5°C threshold, signaling intensified climate risks .
This record followed 2023, which was previously the warmest year, with temperatures 1.45°C above pre-industrial levels .
Ocean Heatwaves and Marine Ecosystems
The climate crisis has tripled the duration of ocean heatwaves since the 1940s. These prolonged heat events have severely impacted marine life, damaging ecosystems like coral reefs and kelp forests, and have contributed to more intense storms and rainfall .
Extreme Weather Events
In the United States, 2024 experienced 27 separate billion-dollar weather and climate disasters, including hurricanes, severe storms, and droughts. This is the second-highest annual count in the 45-year record.
Europe faced its hottest year on record in 2024, with over 413,000 people affected by floods, storms, wildfires, and heatwaves. Notably, southeastern Europe endured its longest recorded heatwave, and wildfires in Portugal burned 110,000 hectares .
Ice Loss and Sea-Level Rise
2023 saw record lows in Antarctic sea ice extent and significant glacier retreat, contributing to accelerated sea-level rise. These changes are largely irreversible on human timescales and pose long-term risks to coastal communities .
Greenhouse Gas Concentrations
Greenhouse gas levels reached new highs in 2023, with carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide concentrations surpassing previous records. These increases are primarily driven by fossil fuel combustion and deforestation .
These records highlight the urgent need for comprehensive climate action to mitigate the escalating impacts of global warming.
