Global warming does exist
But non-believers still persist
That it’s all in your imagination
But studies actually have shown
That burning fossil fuels has grown
Because of us, the earth has become warmer
The greenhouse gases
Change because of constant activity
We began this problem
So it’s up to us, we need a change, change, change
Yes we do!
Cause climate change is something that’s an issue
And slowly happening everyday
Let’s make our plans and then let’s take some action
Together we will find a way
We may need to worry, since temperature is starting to rise
We need to do something about this crisis now
Let’s take action, let’s make a change!
These warm conditions can bring the ocean with it
Melting glaciers and ice sheets, the sea level then starts to rise
But also crops that all farmers prize
Will become lost worldwide, leaving weeds or just space, oh man
So let’s consider
Methods that conserve energy
There’s solar and wind power
Maybe you can also drive an EV, V, V
Or a bike
Cause climate change is something that’s an issue
And slowly happening everyday
Let’s make our plans and then let’s take some action
Together we will find a way
We may need to worry, since temperature is starting to rise
We need to do something about this crisis now
Let’s take action, let’s make a change!
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na, da-na-na-na-na-na-na
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na
Yes, let’s take action, let’s make a change!
(Hey)
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na, da-na-na-na-na-na-na
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na
So let’s make solutions
That we can soon implement
This important problem
Needs everybody’s hands on deck, say
Cause climate change is something that’s an issue
And slowly happening everyday
Let’s make our plans and then let’s take some action
Together we will find a way
We may need to worry, since temperature is starting to rise
We need to do something about this crisis now
Let’s take action, let’s make a change!

Human activities, like burning fossil fuels, are the primary causes of climate change around the world. The increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere results in the warming of the planet, and this climate extreme can lead to droughts, floods, crop losses, and sea level rise, just to name a few. Just like people are the cause of the problem, they can also be the solution. Everyone just needs to be more aware that this issue exists and of how important it is, and what better way to share that message than with a catchy song? I made a parody of the song “Permission to Dance” by BTS. The message that I want to convey to listeners is that it is never too late to make a change. People need to realize the importance of this issue, it needs to be stuck in their heads. BTS originally created the song for the pandemic; they wanted to reach everyone. I want to reach out to everyone as well.
