Burning down the house


-- Horatio Algeranon's parody of the "Talking Heads"


Wattsup?, you might get what you’re after
Cool babies, denyin’ but not a denier
I’m an untowardinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight, wait ’till the century’s over
Hold tight, we’re in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Here’s your trick, a pack of lies, time for bloggin’ overboard
Obfuscation is here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
Lightin’ fire with liar
All wet, hey you might need a braincoat
Shakedown, schemes walking in broad daylight
We’re lookin’ at three to five de-grees
Burning down the house

It was always a crazy place, I only listen to myself

Gonna come in first place
Scientists on their way to work said, “Baby what did you expect?”
Gonna burst into flame, go ahead

Burning down the house

My blog’s re-al-i-ty contrary
That’s right, don’t want to alert nobody
Some posts sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin’ yet
Everything’s stuck together
I don’t know what you expect staring into the internet
Lighting fire with liar

Burning down the house

Burning down the house
Burning down the house



Most discussions about climate change focus on the heating effect of increased atmospheric CO2 (eg, shown with the "global temperature" graph), but there is another effect that may be just as insidious: the increasing acidity of the oceans, discussed in Ocean Acidification: The Other CO2 Problem (Doney, et al., 2009)

If you are a sea creature or plant, acid can also "burn".
