Hot New Earth

 

It's interesting to re-imagine old lyrics with AI, 

1n 1997, the global CO2 level was 363 ppm. It is 428 in 2026. Atmospheric CO2 could reach about 670 ppm by 2100, while a higher-emissions pathway could be around 800 ppm or higher.

Visionary art 
Culture create
Useful technology 
What cannot be made?
Weaving the cloth
That keeps us warm
Leaving the land
So trashed and worn

The balance of soul
To the roots in the land
To the gothic cathedrals
Where the masses band
The song and the dance
Of the social norm
Is now the slam dunk
Of the antisocial porn 

In a hot new earth
In a cold cold sweat
Hot new earth
Meets a cold cold death
Force times velocity
Will give us power
In a hot new... 
Earth

Overrated human
The master of slaves
Never the spiritual
Just material craves
A culture to integrate
The math with the art
The choice (joy) to be ignorant
And not to be smart

The removal of skin
The raising of the sea
Take away the trees
The means for recovery
Poison pills
For a feverish child
Cure the ills
Before it dies
