Head over heals (Know how I fell) Came the day (We both lay) Face down in the dirt (Does it hurt?) ABOUT THE SONG The new release of the day, “Face Down in the Dirt,” is a song of thanksgiving—an ode to the moment you realize just how deeply you love Mother Nature and the astonishing gift of being alive. Built around an acoustic rhythm guitar with piano, organ, and layered synthesizers, the track drifts between humility, humor, and heartfelt devotion. The lyrics tell the story with a playful kind of reverence.It opens with a confession:“Hey! Mother Nature / Didn’t mean to flirt…”but the narrator quickly admits where that flirtation leads—“Here I lay… face down in the dirt.”Rather than defeat, it’s a moment of awakening. The recurring bridge, “Slipped (tripped) / Fell in love,” captures the accidental, irresistible pull toward the natural world—how easily we forget our place until we stumble right into it. Each repetition deepens the realization: love found not in triumph, but in humility. By the end, the song leans fully into that surrender.“Head over heels / Know how I fell / Came the day / We both lay / Face down in the dirt.”It’s gratitude expressed through grounding—literally—recognizing that connection to the earth is both humbling and healing. “Face Down in the Dirt” is a thanksgiving anthem for anyone who has ever been knocked down by life only to discover, in the soil and silence, something worth loving even more.

The opening lines of the song acknowledge the challenge of confronting difficult truths about climate change. The suggestion to “Relax” serves as a call for listeners to approach the topic with an open mind and a willingness to engage with uncomfortable realities. The chorus emphasizes the importance of listening to “words of wisdom” and learning from the collective knowledge and experiences of others. It urges listeners to seek understanding and awareness of the world’s challenges, particularly those caused by human activity. The repetition of the phrase “Learn to learn earn awesome” suggests that by educating ourselves and taking meaningful action, we can create a better future. In the second verse, the song addresses the role of humanity, metaphorically referred to as the “prime primate,” in exacerbating climate change. The lack of a coherent plan or desire to address the issue is highlighted, emphasizing the need for accountability and responsibility. The bridge delves deeper into the motivations behind humanity’s destructive behavior, questioning why we seem indifferent to the consequences of our actions. The reference to “self-annihilation desire” suggests a reckless disregard for the long-term consequences of our behavior, leading to a sense of urgency and desperation. Throughout the song, there is a sense of frustration and urgency, echoed in the repeated phrase “Damned demand.” This phrase encapsulates the idea that despite the urgent need for action, there is often resistance or apathy, hindering progress towards addressing climate change. “Words of Wisdom” tries to serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of collective action and awareness in confronting the existential threat of climate change. It calls on listeners to heed the lessons of the past, educate themselves, and strive for a more sustainable and equitable future.

Apr 5, 2024Tap to summarize(Verse 1) As the sea levels rise, the world starts to change, Inland we wonder, how far does it range? Could saltwater creep into our lakes so vast? The Great Lakes’ fate, uncertain to last. (Chorus) Rising tides, changing scenes, Violent rains, and what they mean. From coastal plains to hillsides high, The earth’s new face, under the sky. (Verse 2) Laden speaks of coastal zones explored, As the waves crash harder on familiar shores. Cape Cod, a dead-peninsula, facing its fate, Maine’s silent debate. (Chorus) Rising tides, changing scenes, Violent rains, and what they mean. From coastal plains to hillsides high, The earth’s new face, under the sky. (Bridge) Brouse shares tales of Pennsylvania’s plight, Sinkholes, derailments in the dead of night. Local substrates, a crucial role they play, In shaping our world, come what may. (Verse 3) Floodplains transform, under the rain’s relentless beat, New culverts form, as streets turn into creeks. The Gulf Coast braces, from both sides it’s hit, As violent rain’s reign, shows no sign to quit. (Chorus) Rising tides, changing scenes, Violent rains, and what they mean. From coastal plains to hillsides high, The earth’s new face, under the sky. (Outro) From Maine’s rocky coast to Pennsylvania’s plains, The world is changing, under nature’s reigns. As sea meets rain in a dance profound, Our planet’s story, in every sound.

Is it possible saltwater could infiltrate the Great Lakes? Lake Superior has an elevation of 600 feet above (current) sea level and a depth of 1,332 feet. Lake Ontario is 243 feet above sea level with a depth of 802 feet. Greg Laden (an archaeologist who has worked extensively in coastal zones) replied: Would not reach the Great lakes, but with a little erosion, the Hudson, Lake Champlain, and the St. Lawrence could become contiguous, so New England becomes an Island. Daniel Brouse: I am particularly interested in the Kennebecasis River (a tributary of the Saint John River in southern New Brunswick, Canada.) Do you have any thoughts on this process, in particular, the changing topography caused by extreme rain events? You can kind-of imagine Eastern and Western North America as giant beaches with ever increasing atmospheric waves splashing down on us. The Gulf Coast will be hit from both sides. We to see increasing intensity and/or frequency in a wide variety of violent rain events including: downpours, flooding, hurricanes, cyclones, monsoons, coastal flooding, storm surges, lightning and wildfires, hail, extreme wind, and concurrent extremes. The reign of violent rain has already begun. More hillsides and shorelines are collapsing. Atmospheric rivers are dramatically increasing flash flooding in the Northeastern USA. Worldwide, stormwater systems are becoming overwhelmed. Ironically, the streets of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, UAE, flooded days before the COP28 Climate Conference. Nowhere is safe from violent rain, not even in the desert preparing for a UN meeting on the climate crisis. As a result of increasing violent rain, new drainage culverts are forming. Eventually, the culverts will transform into recurring streams, carving new canyons, creating new landscapes and islands. Increased wildfires and landslides will transform topography. At the same time as the violent rain makes its way to the sea, the sea is rising to meet the violent rain. What do you think will happen to the floodplains in North America? Greg Laden: I have many thoughts on this, and this has been part of my research and study for a very long time, having done coastal archaeology in North America, etc. The basic question is what is the substrate? Sea level rise of 1 meter in Maine means the sea goes up to the top line that is currently 1 meter above the sea (we are ignoring tides) and that’s it for thousands of years. That is because Maine is made out of granite. Sea level rise of 1 meter along Cape Cod, which is glacial till, means that the sea will erode horizontally many many meters. In fact, Cape Cod is a dead-peninsula walking, even given pre-AGW sea level rise. It will all wash away eventually, except any rocky bits of bedrock that might be there (but they aren’t there AFIK.) So, given that, yes, storms come in to play. The rate of erosion of Cap Cod, to continue with that example, accelerated in about 1979, due to increased severe coastal storms. What happens to a given floodplain will depend totally on local conditions. Many of our floodplains are not that often flooded, especially in glacial zones where they are filled up, and lower reaches of the giant rivers, and there is a lot of infrastructure in place that will initially control things. Daniel Brouse: You might be interested in King of Prussia and Plymouth Meeting, PA. The train derailment in Plymouth Meeting (July 17, 2023) was caused by extreme rainfall and flash flooding that resulted in sinkholes developing in the carbonate rock under the railroad tracks. In July and December of 2023, extreme rainfall resulted in sinkholes being exposed in the carbonate rock under Route 202 in King of Prussia, PA. I guess this is part of the local substrate conditions that vary widely from location to location.

Apr 5, 2024Tap to summarize(Verse 1) In the realm of nature’s laws, we find our place, As humans alter the world, at a rapid pace. Newton’s second law, it rings so true, As we increase the energy, our actions accrue. (Chorus) Force equals mass times acceleration, In this world of change, our transformation. From rising seas to violent rain, The damage grows, with every gain. (Verse 2) Acceleration formula, it holds the key, To understand the changes, that we now see. As data reveals, a doubling trend, In climate’s grip, we must contend. (Chorus) Force equals mass times acceleration, In this world of change, our transformation. From rising seas to violent rain, The damage grows, with every gain. (Bridge) The rate of acceleration, it’s on the rise, As sea levels climb, under ominous skies. From 100 years to a mere 10, The doubling period, shortens again. (Verse 3) The reign of violent rain, it sweeps the land, As we alter the climate, with our human hand. The damage mounts, with every storm, As acceleration’s force takes form. (Chorus) Force equals mass times acceleration, In this world of change, our transformation. From rising seas to violent rain, The damage grows, with every gain. (Outro) So heed the warning, in nature’s call, For the force we wield, impacts us all. In the equation of life, let’s find our grace, And navigate the changes, with wisdom and pace.

Newton’s second law: F = m * a F = force m = mass of an object a = acceleration ALSO SEE Climate Change: Rate of Acceleration By 2020, there was enough data to see the “doubling period” of some anthropogenic climate affects had gone from 100 years to 10 years. For instance the rate of sea level rise has gone from about 1.5 millimeters per year to over 3 millimeters. We expect to see the doubling period to continue to shrink raising the possibility of sea levels rising a foot/year by 2050.

Apr 5, 2024Tap to summarize(Verse 1) Turbulence, it’s chaos unfurled, The hardest problem, in this vast world. The Professor speaks, of skies in turmoil, As climate shifts, it doubles the coil. (Chorus) Turbulence, it’s on the rise, In wind and water, where chaos lies. From Lahaina’s flames to Norway’s floods, Turbulence, it shakes our blood. (Verse 2) Maui’s wildfire, a scene of despair, Fanned by winds, hurricane’s flare. Streets ablaze, with scorching heat, As Lahaina’s heart, faced defeat. (Chorus) Turbulence, it’s on the rise, In wind and water, where chaos lies. From Lahaina’s flames to Norway’s floods, Turbulence, it shakes our blood. (Bridge) Flashpoints ignite, with a fiery blast, As people flee, into the ocean vast. But water, too, joins in the fray, With waves that tear, and claim their way. (Verse 3) Norway’s floods, a tale of woe, As dams burst open, the waters flow. Homes washed away, in torrents wild, As nature’s fury, leaves hearts beguiled. (Chorus) Turbulence, it’s on the rise, In wind and water, where chaos lies. From Lahaina’s flames to Norway’s floods, Turbulence, it shakes our blood. (Outro) In the dance of chaos, we find our plight, Turbulence grows, with all its might. But in the face of turmoil, we’ll stand tall, For together, we’ll weather, through it all. The-Equation-Part-III.mp3 The-Equation-Part-III.mp3 (unplugged to conserve energy) Chords: A Bb A G F# E / E A C G A / D C A / C E A Instrumentation: Vocals, Takamine Acoustic Guitar Recorded at Lake Wynonah, Pennsylvania ABOUT THE SCIENCE Turbulence Professor Paul D. Williams of the University of Reading, UK, said, “They are chaotic. Turbulence is known famously as the hardest problem in physics.” In their study Evidence for Large Increases in Clear-Air Turbulence Over the Past Four Decades, Prof. Williams and his team found “Climate change has caused turbulence to double in the last 40 years” and is expected to double or triple again in the next decades. Update — Climate change’s influence on wind and water flow forces caused more severe damage and deaths. The Maui wildfire of August 2023 is an example. What would have been a fairly routine wildfire was fanned out-of-control by hurricane force winds. One headline read, “Maui fires: Hawaii blazes fanned by Hurricane Dora”. Another headline read, “Hawaii wildfires kill as ‘apocalypse’ hits Maui island”. The New York Times reported, “Gov. Josh Green of Hawaii said on Thursday that the devastating wildfires that swept through western Maui and killed at least 55 people, and possibly many more, were ‘likely the largest natural disaster in Hawaii state history.'” Both wind and water flow forces contributed to the devastation. Hurricane Dora was at least 500 miles from Hawaii yet the wind forces impacted the fire in Maui. The winds were so strong that before the fire reached Lahaina extremely hot air blew over the town. The streets were so hot they burnt people’s feet trying to flee. The surface of everything became hot. Even after people jumped into the ocean, they said the debris in the water was too hot to float on. Almost all the boats in the harbor burned. The blast of hot air over Lahaina created the conditions for a flashpoint. A flashpoint is the temperature at which a particular organic compound gives off sufficient vapor to ignite in air. The entire town ignited so quickly that warning sirens could not be activated and people did not have time to escape. In an unexpected twist, water flow forces also contributed to the chaos. How could water flow add to the fire emergency conditions? When people fled the heat and fire, they jumped into the sea. ABC news reported: Shawn Dougherty, of Lahaina, was among the hundreds of residents forced to flee the resort city when the wildfire began engulfing their homes. Like others, Dougherty said his only means of survival was to jump into the ocean with his girlfriend, but while some found safety in nearby jetties, the rocks and coral tore up Dougherty’s body. “At one point, it seemed like I might drown,” he told ABC News. “I’m a good swimmer, but the water was just really rough because of the wind and the turbulence.” Also in August of 2023, climate change’s influence on water flow forces caused more severe damage and deaths. AccuWeather reported, “Dam bursts open as deadly flooding washes away homes in Norway. Torrents of water gushed through multiple towns across Norway and landslides cascaded down mountainsides after a deluge drenched Norway.” 4D Music: Songs About Science A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment
