Lyrics
Cold
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you take a gram of water
And apply one calorie of heat to it
You will raise its temperature by one degree Celsius
But you need to apply 81 calories
To ice, simply to change it to water at 0 degrees Celsius
The latent heat of change of state of ice to water
Uses 81 times more available heat
Than rising the temperature of water one degree
Once all the ice is melted
The once covered ice area will heat up 81 times faster
It will be not so great
A new steady state of high heat tolerant might mean
Hopefully, rapidly evolve
But human civilisation as we know it will no longer exist
'Cause Gaia likes it cold
'Cause Gaia likes it cold
'Cause Gaia likes it cold
The loss of ice cover will catipult our climate
Into an uncharted, apocalyptic era of rapid heating
There will be no stopping it
