Non‑Existent
Language: English 
Losses of Crytic tree hunter
Losses of Aleatra Glebe
Losses of biodiversity
Governments are too preoccupied to act!
Governments refusal to act!
Formosan Clouded Leopard lost! Spotted Green Pigeon
Dissemination of climate change lies
Very dangerous lies!
Climate change is a hoax!
Feedback loops, a refusal to act, feedback loops, a refusal to act
Man made disaster on a global scale
         I want you to panic
as the birds fall silent
                     Your silence is almost the worst of all 
Coral reef bleaching
Species to extinction
Loss of sea ice
If everyone knew
Irreversible chain reactions
Lets continue to destroy sea ice, insect populations,
Continue to destroy our future, our planet,
Our manufacturing so we can fight mythical global warming,
So we can fight corruption
Insect collapse
Too preoccupied to act
Fake news, fake science, fake news, fake science, feedback loops
I don't believe it! Climate change is a hoax
Your rejection of science will literally kill people
             as the earth falls through tipping points
I want you to panic you to panic
                         as the birds fall silent
Your silence is almost the worst of all
                       We know what is happening and what needs to be done
Why should we accept the risk?
Record breaking temperatures, heatwaves,
Arctic permafrosts,
Climate disasters every day
Greatest threat to our planet, to the fossil fuels industry
No one ever talked about it
Runaway greenhouse, runaway global warming
Snow! So much for global warming
Weather and climate are not the same thing
Not politics just thermodynamics
Cleanest climates there are
CO2 budget, ecological breakdown, industry breakdown,
Feel the fear, feedback loops, feel the fear, feedback loops
We are heading fast towards a cliff edge
Pull the emergency break!
I need you to panic
As the birds fall silent
                      Your silence is almost the worst of all
The last butterfly
                      And as the earth falls
                                                        through tipping points
And as the earth falls to its knees
                      I beg you, please don't fail in this
As I take my last breath
                     Only you know if we did
