about

At a community meeting about climate change, a remark was made about all the "bad news", and why was it that the "catastrophists" got all the headlines? Apart from increasing land values in Greenland and Iceland (as the glaciers recede), there don't seem to be too many good-news stories related to global warming ...

Lyrics
--------

One scenario: global malaria pandemic in a storm jungle
Dead acid ocean, acid rain - not a world I can live in
What sort of beasts will evolve in a world such as this?
I am a catastrophist

Acid ocean, acid rain
Burning through my skin again
Acid ocean, acid rain

Or imagine a world full of birds and splendour,
A world full of pleasure and laughter, no pain
No countries, no border, and no multi-nationals
No wars over god, class, resources or race
What fool would believe in a world such as this?

I am a catastrophist

Lashing rain and burning fire
Nothing like my heart’s desire
Lashing rain and burning fire

One scenario: global malaria pandemic in a storm jungle

Dead acid ocean, acid rain – not a world I can live in
What sort of beasts will evolve in a world such as this?
I am a catastrophist

Acid ocean, acid rain
Burning through my skin again
Acid ocean, acid rain
