If the haze in my brain is smog
what do you call the apathy of the cog
inside the giant corporate shell.
But truly I know this isn’t hell.

So global warming may make us all blond,
ironic the hockey stick will close my ponds
And where did I put my CO₂ sponge?
Isn’t this a sponge-worthy monde?

Now I listen to wisemen
less to prophets out to spread amen
but if this is apocalyptica
maybe we should dig into our lexica
find words to talk to those not in the choir.

But maybe we worry too much-alright?
We could give up this pointless fight
Believe Earth will fix itself
Forget about the melting ice shelf?

But now the corporate pulse of the nation
is arife with greenwashing stations
ready to fuel your electric car
your press-on nails made from recycled tar

Maybe we should try nu-cular
but Obama knows we’re smarter
not to be a dicks
when we need solutions quick.

Now I listen to wisemen
less to prophets out to spread their semen
but if this is apocalyptica
maybe we should dig into our lexica
find words to talk to those not in the choir.

Some were offering carbon credits for dumping iron in the ocean
Al Gore and Dave Suzuki get criticized for riding in Priuses -aka a car
small shit while taking their message far
We’re dependent on oil imports to run our countries
isn’t that a real problem for National defence, Armed forces, Department of Defense-blam blam-

Hurricanes, floods, seawater rise
So now we’ve got the IPCC
Yeah you know me
And that water in my ear
Well my little dear that is from the sea
that now comes clear up into Tenessee

Now what do you mean the oceans are getting more acidic?
It ain’t Neil Young pouring that acid into the ocean.
maybe someone more thick?
No but seriously what’s that you said about CO₂?
high levels are lowering the pH
no not as in P-H-A-T but the pondus hydrogenii is askew.

so the beautiful corals and other tough calcium carbonate loving organisms
will lose their shells and friendly bacteria more easily
and death will thus occur…..

So global warming may make us all blond,
ironic the hockey stick will close my ponds
And where did I put my CO₂ sponge?
Isn’t this a sponge-worthy monde?

but I don’t get it man-you cried…
well I won’t sugarcoat with organic-fair-trade sugar
but too much anthropogenic(made by the human race (robotic))carbon dioxide
is easily absorbed into the ocean bell jar

CO₂ in the ocean mostly transforms to bicarbonate
but can become dissolved CO₂ or the simple carbonate
the more CO₂ dissolved, the more stressed the buffering of the ocean-which is tough
therefore more lonely H ions floating around…making an acidic ocean!

so like the system in your own blood
buffers your C0₂ when you’re pumpin’ iron in your hood
to keep your pH up -the ocean will suffer undersaturation of the carbonate which corals and other hard-backed critters need -so life will be tougher.
