[Intro]
Why (Magnify)
[Verse 1]
Amplifiers
(Feedback)
Into the drivers
(Survivors?)
[Bridge]
Why (Magnify)
[Chorus]
Anthropogenic forcing
(Compounding)
Reality divorcing
(Dumbfounding)
[Verse 2]
Amplifiers
(Turn into drivers)
Driving us crazy
(As the world turns hazy)
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Testify!
Why (Magnify)
Why turn up the heat
(On the street)
I mean… why not
(Stop with the hot)
Hot, hot, hot
ABOUT THE SCIENCE: How Drivers and Amplifiers Compound Anthropogenic Forcing
Drivers, Amplifiers, and Exponential Climate Feedback Loops
Climate change accelerates because the Earth system is governed by drivers (forces that initiate warming) and amplifiers (feedbacks that magnify that warming). When amplifiers feed back into the drivers–or begin creating new amplifiers–they produce nonlinear, exponential increases in temperature and extreme weather.
This is how you go from merely “warming” to runaway, compounding, tipping-point-driven climate destabilization.
* 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.
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.
