Après un été de fin du monde, durant lequel j’ai vécu en réfugié climatique (privilégié), je laisse la parole au groupe suisse Coilguns…

« This one to state clearly that we’re not naive enough to believe that burrying our carbon emissions in remote countries could be any kind of solution to our environmental emergency. To read that some «serious» scientists, supported by our «most serious» engineering schools in Switzerland are doing actual research on such a concept is nothing but «seriously» depressing. Also, to see the same companies that are making money with fossile energy extraction create their own new business models and promote utterly ironic carbon compensation tricks is shocking. This should simply be called shit shifting.
Punk songs can’t swallow carbon dioxyde, but at least they’re not pretending they can. And the most significant part of carbon emission they create is human sweat in angry pits, so let’s mosh together until their carbon magic is publicly proven fake. » (source)

Lyrics

SO YOU WANNA KEEP US COLD ?
LIKE WE’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
YOU’RE THE ONE WE PAY TO STOCK THE SHIT YOU’VE EXTRACTED
FROM OUR GROUNDS

AND WE’LL REDUCE THE TAXES YOU PAY
SINCE YOU MANAGE TO FIND WAYS
TO MAKE US TRUST IN MIRACLES
WE WILL NEVER SEE TAKE PLACE
IN TIME

REDUCE OUR ABILITY
TO JUDGE THE PARADOXES WE FACE

SO YOU WANNA KEEP THE PACE
MAKE US DREAM OF ZERO WASTE
SO WE HIRE YOU TO HIDE THIS POISON AIR AWAY
FROM OUR NOSTRILS

AND INSTEAD OF FIXING THINGS
WE INVEST IN NEW TECHNOLOGY
SO WE KEEP OUR HANDS OFF ALL THE PROFIT YOU WILL MAKE
IN GOOD FAITH

REDUCE OUR ABILITY
TO JUDGE THE PARADOXES WE FACE

DEFUSE OUR COMBATIVITY
TO COUNTER THE DISASTER YOU CREATE

ALL YOU’RE SELLING ARE LIES AND FAKES
YOU ONLY KNOW THE PRICE WE’LL PAY

THERE’S GOT TO BE A WAY
TO READ THE FACTS
TO INFORM WELL
AND IF WE CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR FALL
WE’LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE PART
IN OUR COMMON WRECKAGE

ALL YOU’RE SELLING ARE LIES AND FAKES
YOU ONLY KNOW THE PRICE WE’LL PAY

ALL YOU’RE SELLING ARE LIES AND FAKES
YOUR CARBON MAGIC IS JUST A WASTE
