The eve of destruction: Take 2
Words and music by P F Sloan,
recorded by Barry McGuire in 1965.
Additional lyrics by William York, 2009.
The atmosphere is not for turnin’
Temperatures rise and people are burnin’
too much fuel but they ain’t learnin’
the earth’s on edge of over turning’
And we are just its overburden.
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction
Don’t you understand what I’m tryin’ to say
Can’t you feel the heat I’m feelin’ today?
If the engine starts, it’ll be runnin’ away
We’ll be up to our eyes, as the sea levels rise[Take a look around ya boy, it’s bound to scare ya boy]
And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.
Yeah, my blood’s so mad feels like coagulatin’
I’m sitting here just contemplatin’
I can’t set the sun, it knows no regulation.
And a handful of senators don’t pass legislation
But simply ask for more information
What the planet needs is more…
Academics and others who dare to question the majority view are brutally told the science has been settled. Many such dissenters from catastrophist orthodoxy have lost their jobs, been denied promotion, or subjected to constant harassment and ridicule. This not the way science should be done

There's a veritable industry of academics raising alarm about how global warming and a polluted, dying planet will leave humanity and the animal kingdom in such a state that cannibalism will be a matter of survival. I'll spurn schoolyard puns and cheap gags except for one, and that by way of good advice: don't give them a big hand

I thought initially that this topic was a bit of fun. But it turns out that entomophagy, as the eating of insects is called, is an essential component of the Western lemmings' race to net-zero. Need it be said that one of the biggest and most enthusiastic lemmings is our very own climate crazies at the CSIRO?
