We are a flexible and innovative species
And we have the capacity to adapt and modify our behavior
Now, we most certainly have to do so if we're to deal with climate
change. It's the biggest challenge we have yet faced.
The same thing that keeps the Earth warm
CO2!
May make the Earth too warm
It holds in heat
Methane, Chloroflourocarbons, water vapor and
Carbon dioxide - they all trap heat
It is important that the world get together
To face the problems which attack us as a unit
The evidence is clear
The globe is getting too warm
We can avoid climate catastrophies
We can do this
We can change the world
Science offers us answers
It's one global ecosoystem
We can do this
We can change the world
Every single thing every one of us does
Affects everybody all over the world
It's one global ecosystem
Warm, wet, cold or dry
Climates all start in the sky
When the C02 is high, the temperature is high
Moving together in lock step
When the C02 is low, the temperature is low
Moving together
Our use of fossil fuels for energy is pushing us towards a climate
unlike any seen in the history of civilization
Adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere
Warms things up
The rise in C02
Comes from burning fossil fuels
When you burn them, add oxygen
That makes C02 that goes in the air
We're reversing the process by which they formed
[Asimov]
We're talking about something
That affects the entire Earth
Problems that transcend nations
(refrain)
