(Singing) Climate change...
(Singing) Climate change... ahhh, ahhh, mmm, yeah"
Yoh, let's talk about the Earth really talk about survival
We can talk about the Poles where the cold is unrivaled.
The Arctic, top of the world that's people and polar bears
Antarctica, crazy penguins chillin' down there
Miles and miles of ice and glaciers
But something ain't straight with our polar neighbors.
It's a change in the climate a change in the weather
It's heating up now but it's not for the better.
See, the heat comes down from the Sun to the Earth
But now the heat can't escape it just can't disperse...
'Cos of carbon dioxide from power plants and factories
Cars and trucks, so much more than you can find naturally.
So the Poles get warm and the Earth gets hotter
All that necessary ice melts down into water.
And the impact, the sad fact, is it can only escalate
So - for real - we gotta act now before it's too late.
(Chorus) Take aim at climate change...
(Chorus) Take aim at climate change... (Gotta take aim, y'all)
Take aim at climate change...
Take aim at climate change... (Think long term)
Take aim at climate change...
Take aim at climate change...
"Man, why should I care what's going on there?
What does ice and wildlife mean to my life?"
See, that's the catch it's not all that obvious
But changes in the North and South are gonna affect all of us.
That's why we got polar adventurers
Measure the thickness of the ice and checkin' the Earth's temperature.
Word life, that ice is the Earth's refrigerator
But when it starts to melt it will be felt at the Equator.
Peop', when glaciers melt the oceans start swellin'
And then they flood the coasts where the people be dwellin'
You could say "Peace" to Florida New York, and California
All drowning in the ocean ...don't say we didn't warn ya!
For real, all it takes is a couple degrees
Before floods, droughts and hurricanes are not anomalies
And all these catastrophes become our new realities
Comin' down on the world just like the Sword of Damocles.
(Chorus) Take aim at climate change...
(Chorus) Take aim at climate change... (Oh, oh, we gotta take aim)
Take aim at climate change... (Gotta all work together)
Take aim at climate change...
Take aim at climate change... (Gotta all work together)
Take aim at climate change...
"OK, I get it... but give me some credit
So the world needs rescue what can I do?"
Just one small positive act and then another
And then add them all together one after the other.
C'mon, you know the drill it's about conservation
Using only what you need and making sure that you're not wasting.
Lots of information can be found on the web
So educate your head and don't forget to let your knowledge spread.
"Is that all?"
Not even close that's not the end of it.
But a million small things can produce immense benefits.
Any way you call it, there's no single way to solve it.
We gotta have involvement before the Earth becomes insolvent.
(Chorus) ADAPT ...to a new situation.
INNOVATE ...use your imagination.
MITIGATE ...we've got to try...
To stop global warming
We've got to aim high.
"So I'll turn down the heat and watch what I eat
But what can I do to take a long-term view?"
We need smarter ideas for sustainable policies
New technologies for a new green economy.
New discoveries, and new questions to ask
'Cos we can figure out the future by examining the past.
So we sail to the Poles and sample the extremes
And drill into the ice and discover what it means.
So use that brain and make science a priority
And you can work on stopping global warming with authority.
So act now, there's no time for games...
It's time to take aim.
(Chorus) Mitigate, we've got to try
To stop global warming
We've got to aim high.
(Clapping) Take aim at climate change...
(Clapping) Take aim at climate change... (Take aim, for real!)
Take aim at climate change...
Take aim at climate change... (You know the temperature's rising...)
Take aim at climate change...
Take aim at climate change... (If you're concerned, stand up!)
Take aim at climate change...
Take aim at climate change... Gotta all work together...
