In her stirring new track, "Global Warming," Minna LaFortune powerfully addresses the climate emergency with a heartfelt appeal set to the infectious beat of reggae. Inspired by catastrophic hurricanes, wildfires, and intense heat waves affecting her New York community and beyond, LaFortune combines a rhythmic groove with a call to action that hits close to home.
With impactful lyrics and driving beats, "Global Warming" channels the devastation of recent hurricanes like Beryl, Helene, and Milton, which ravaged the Caribbean and southern U.S., leaving a personal mark as Hurricane Milton destroyed her cousin’s Orlando home. Meanwhile, smoke from wildfires in California and Canada has clouded New York’s skies, and temperatures have soared into the hundreds. Each verse in LaFortune’s song conveys her emotional connection to these events, transforming the track into a passionate cry for global solidarity.
LaFortune’s message is more than a recount of disasters; it’s a resounding alarm. She underscores how climate threats are reshaping everyday life, urging listeners to reconsider their surroundings and adapt to a world increasingly marked by environmental upheaval. Her powerful anthem resonates with recent statistics from NBC's Hallie Jackson, revealing that over 90% of U.S. counties have faced disaster claims, reshaping the American landscape one crisis at a time.
