Global greenhouse gas emissions data, as a synth-pop ballad.

lyrics

The planet’s warming every year
And the human cause is very clear
So in each sector, in each year
Let’s see greenhouse gases get here

Rice cultivation’s 1%
Wastewater isn’t much different
2% from deforestation
Same for shipping and aviation

Similar stat for landfills
Agriculture and fishing, and chemicals
Burning crops is over 3%
Same goes for mixing cement

You don’t have to like addition or be a mathematician
I’m not actually a scientist I’m more of a musician
There’s only one thing that you need to know
All these emissions, have got to go

Science and learning, can be so much fun
They tell you where greenhouse emissions come from
Stats and numbers, turned into a song
It’s useful to know things, we’ll die if we’re wrong

4% fertilises crops
6% just for livestock
Cattle and sheep both ruminate
Methane warms at a quicker rate

7% from Iron and steel
Commercial buildings are a similar deal
10.9 is residential
Road transport’s even more essential

Fugitive emissions from energy production
Unallocated fuel combustion
Together are about 13.6
Sounds important, whatever it is

The rest comes from other industry
Paper and pulp and machinery
Petrochemicals non ferrous metals
Food, tobacco, and overfilled kettles

Now just quick aside
I’m not telling lies
But many of these facts have probably been revised
Rounded up and down, and simplified
You remember it more when it rhymes

Science and learning, can be so much fun
They tell you where greenhouse emissions come from
Stats and numbers, turned into a song
It’s useful to know things, ‘we’ll die if we’re wrong
