Lack the tact of know-how
Better, better put it back now
Turned our prose into foes
Better, better put it back now
The sacred cow
Sacrificed twice
Take my advice
Can't pay the price
To paradise
Time to take the final bow
Better, better put it back now
For all those selfish woes
Better, better give it back now
We lack
To give it back
The sacred cow
Sacrificed twice
Take my advice
Can't pay the price
To paradise
A song about humans' impact on other creatures. What if God treated us like we treat nature? Do we think we can continue raping the land by just asking for forgiveness? How many times can we "sacrifice the sacred cow" for our same digressions? After taking, taking, and more taking... exploiting the natural resources, do we think we can put it back the way it was?
How long is "ever" as in the hottest it's ever been in recorded history?
During the first week of July 2023, the Earth had the hottest days ever.
Humans are about 200,000 years old with our closest variety being dated to about 140,000 years ago. The earliest "recording of history" is approximately 100,000 years old. It is the story of The Seven Sisters of The Pleiades. The Seven Sister are a cluster of stars in the Taurus constellation. There are six stars visible to the naked eye. The story is about seven stars. The seventh star has not been visible to the naked eye for over 100,000 years.
The 20th-century surface temperature average for Earth was 13.9℃.
In July of 2023 we are seeing average temperatures of 17℃.
Q: Is it possible for humans to push the temperature 3℃ above pre-industrial levels?
A: Yes. Humans have pushed global temperatures up more than 3℃.
Q: Is it possible for humans to survive at temperatures greater than 3℃?
A: Probably not long. Humans have never done it before.
