We were warned, over & over again. Pump colossal amounts of additional energy into global atmosphere & really bad things happen, slowly at first, then worse, then… hellish.

First verse:
It was never really done to those people.

Second verse:
Really someone else did it to those people.

Fourth verse:
Those we did it to were not really people.

Repeat.
