Introduction 

A 100% publicly funded think tank has prepared the uncensored climate change forecast below. It is the most comprehensive list of climate change-related consequences forecast for 2025 currently available on the Internet.

As you review the 2025 climate change forecast below, we believe many of you will be surprised or even shocked to discover the following climate change patterns:

1.  There will be more frequent climate change disasters. Climate change disasters will become more severe and will cover larger and larger areas. 

2. More extreme and general weather records will be broken. New records will be broken by larger and larger amounts at even faster rates.

3. Worsening climate change consequences will increasingly consume your time and finances and reduce your quality of life.

4. Accelerating climate change consequences will affect most of our lives in the following areas (and many other areas described below this prologue): 

expanding property and mortgage insurance cancellations or massive rate increases for homes, businesses, and farms,

rapidly increasing electric bills and rates,

increased health costs, personal costs, and business costs,

extreme weather-related travel delays and cancellations, and increased airline flight turbulence,

increasing heat, humidity, wind, and rain bombs,

more wildfires and wildfire smoke events,

increasing drought,

extreme cold spells and snow bombs,

reduced food production, less food availability, increased food prices and food distribution costs,

increase world starvation,

worsening environmental conditions,

regional infrastructure destruction,

increased political turmoil and

miscellaneous other factors.

5. Climate change is not only getting worse, it is worsening at an even faster pace. 

The materials on this page are not for individuals under 16 years old. They are too complex and potentially upsetting for children under 16 to understand or manage in healthy and rational ways.

Part 1: The Direct and Indirect Climate Change Consequences that Will Most Affect You, Your Family, Your Business, and Your Nation in 2025.

People ignore one or two climate consequences they may experience or see in the news. When they finally see or experience many of the climate change consequences listed below, they begin to understand how bad things are, but they generally do not yet grasp how much worse they will get. Only after experiencing numerous intense or worsening climate change consequences do most people recognize that we are facing an escalating climate change emergency.

The saddest thing about the list of climate consequences you're about to read is that they are getting worse mainly because our political leaders have not yet enforced the honest 2025 required global fossil fuel reductions needed to prevent climate change consequences from getting worse and threatening your home, business, or farm and the eventual survival of humanity. 

It is also essential to be aware that because no government has effectively reduced climate change over the last 60+ years, no government can legitimately claim they can adequately control or minimize the consequences listed below. Many of these consequences are already baked in and unavoidable because of your government's 60+ years of climate change denial, ineffective action, or no action. As long as humanity keeps putting more carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide (the three leading greenhouse gases) into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels, the consequences of climate change below will continue to increase. 

Unfortunately, many of the 70+ climate change consequences below are also aggressively being used by insurance and reinsurance companies worldwide to re-evaluate home, business, and farm property and mortgage insurance policies, raise their rates in medium to high-risk climate change areas, or cancel risky home, business, and farm climate-related property insurance and mortgage policies altogether. In many cases, the climate change consequence that will hit many people and businesses the hardest and the soonest will be the soaring costs or cancelation of their home, business, or farm property or mortgage insurance (on a new purchase) because of the climate change-related shake-up in the insurance, mortgage, and reinsurance industries.)

Finally, when viewing the 2025 climate change consequence lists below, remember that science can now attribute a reliable percentage of climate change-related factors as the direct or contributing cause of extreme weather events or climate disasters. (Please note that our recent significant climate disasters have been climate change-driven, and you can learn more about these climate change attribution studies by clicking here.)

Heat-Related

Increasing heat and longer heatwaves, heat domes, and considerably more 100 degrees + days annually. (More 100 degrees + days during the growing season means more crop failures and lower yields.)

In the US alone, we predict between 2,000 to 3,000 people will die directly because of extreme heat-related causes. Worldwide, we predict several hundred thousand people will die from extreme heat-related causes. Expect these death totals to rise dramatically yearly in perfect lockstep with increasing global temperatures.

The intervals between changing weather patterns will grow shorter, and differences in the types of weather changes will become more extreme. For example, droughts will take less time to turn into rain bombs and snow into rain and ice, and calm days will quickly turn into intense wind gusts. Much of this will happen because the atmosphere is heating up like a pressure cooker. The contents inside that pressure cooker (our atmosphere) are churning and moving faster and faster as the global temperature rises.

Despite typical El Niño and La Niña temperature variations, we forecast that, like 2024, 2025 will become the warmest year on record. It will break the temperature record again (despite the change from La Niña to El Niño) because we continue to put ever more carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide greenhouse gases into the atmosphere from our ever-increasing fossil fuel use. Not only are we putting ever more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but we are also doing it at faster and faster rates. Add to that nightmare the additional triggering of climate change feedbacks and crossing more climate tipping points, and you have the perfect recipe for endless global heating increases.

Globally, climate change caused an average of 41 additional days of dangerous heat in 2024, threatening people’s health. We expect that number to rise significantly in 2025. 

Humidity-Related 

Due to heat-related evaporation worldwide, the amount of water in the atmosphere will increase significantly. With every one-degree Celsius increase in temperature, atmospheric water vapor increases by 7%. This increase in water vapor means a substantial increase in global humidity.

When heat, temperature, and humidity factors are combined into a measurement, it is called a wet-bulb temperature. Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32 °C (90 °F), equivalent to a heat index of 55 °C (131 °F). A reading of 35 °C (95 °F) – equivalent to a heat index of 71 °C (160 °F) – is considered the theoretical human survivability limit for up to six hours of exposure. In 2024, areas of the Iranian desert reached a temperature of 163°. 

More humanity with high temperatures means more heat-related deaths. High humidity is particularly deadly for the very old and young when high temperatures accompany it.

High humidity and temperatures, combined, will significantly depress outdoor labor productivity and safety.

Eventually, rising humidity and temperature will cause millions of people in the tropics to migrate because living and working will become unbearable and unsustainable. Rising climate change-driven global humidity will become one of humanity's most considerable productivity and survival problems.

Wind-Related

Increasing heat will mean increasing wind and wind speeds almost everywhere. Our atmosphere will increasingly "boil and churn" as it continues to warm each year, much like you would see an increase in water boiling and churning as the heat increases under a pressure cooker. This "pressure cooker" wind-increasing effect is because the top layer of our atmosphere acts like a pressure cooker lid, keeping most of our climate change warming heat inside our lower atmosphere. 

Flyers will experience significantly increased air turbulence and extreme air turbulence, as reported by airlines and airline passengers. More flights will be delayed or canceled because of high winds and extreme weather conditions. More airplanes will also have more emergency landings or crashes because of climate-related extreme weather. 

Increasing winds worldwide will eventually become one of climate change's most damaging and consistent consequences. (For example, the western coast of the United States will significantly increase wind events by 70-100 miles per hour. Worldwide, tornadoes and Derechos will occur in places they have not previously occurred, and they will become more frequent in areas where they have occurred previously.) Increased winds will create downed trees and power lines, block roads, and destroy crops.

More intense or frequent hurricanes, Derechos, cyclones, tornadoes, and extreme wind events will occur. Worldwide, we will see more Category 5 and 6 hurricanes and cyclones. The new category six hurricanes and typhoons will occur due to the extra global warming-caused heating in our atmosphere and oceans. (The category six hurricane level begins with maximum sustained winds of 182 MPH. (Just two category six hurricanes have been recorded: Patricia and Wilma. Current construction standards will not survive a category six hurricane, much less more frequent category five hurricanes.)

Rain-Related

Due to heat-related evaporation worldwide, there will be a significant increase in water vapor in the atmosphere. With every one-degree Celsius increase in temperature, there is a 7% increase in atmospheric water vapor.

There will be a lot more rain bombs. (Rain bombs are where a week, month, or season's worth of rain falls in a few hours or days.)

You will see rain bombs approaching 30 inches of rain in one or two days, becoming more common. You will also see rain bombs occur in locations that have never happened because of changes in the jet stream and atmosphere.

Rain bombs and other climate-related flooding will cause city and home sewers to back up. Raw human and industrial sewage will be more frequently dumped into homes, streets, businesses, rivers, lakes, bays, and coastal waters.

Because of rain bombs and flooding, there will be far more water treatment plant purification problems and disruptions.

Increased water vapor also means even more snow bombs.

There will be more atmospheric rivers in existing and new locations where rainstorm after rainstorm pummels an area with little time between each new rainstorm.

Because of warmer temperatures and these warmer temperatures causing earlier spring rains, there will be smaller mountain snowpacks and far faster spring snowpack melting in the spring. This faster runoff will cause more record-breaking flash flooding downstream and less water available from the annual snowpack to be saved for crops and other uses.

Drought-Related

There will be more droughts. (We are currently experiencing global warming-aggravated mega-droughts that have lasted one or more decades in the US Southwest, West Africa, and Australia.)

There will be more desertification: more land will be in drought and unusable.

Droughts will wreck coastal fisheries, especially salmon (which spawn in drought-ravaged rivers). The government departments managing the fisheries will issue shorter fishing seasons more frequently, delay fishing seasons, or even cancel specific fishing seasons for a year or more.

As climate change increases heat and produces more extended droughts covering larger areas, traditional legal water rights for nations, states, regions, and individuals will increasingly be challenged in the courts, renegotiated, and changed. This global water rights reallocation process and changes to preexisting legal water rights will be required andrced to address today's harsh climate change realities and our better understanding of climate change and hydrology (the study of water, water conservation, etc.) government-enfo.

(Please note: When you look at the steeply rising carbon (CO2) graph (above) and the carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide greenhouse gas graphs (further down the page), which are also rising steeply, two truths scream out:

1. Climate change will continue to worsen even faster because more greenhouse gases are going into the atmosphere each year, and

2. Nothing the world's governments (or environmental groups) have done since they were informed about the growing climate catastrophe over 60 years ago has been effective in any meaningful way for reducing the rising greenhouse gases that cause climate change.

The decades of rising carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide numbers do not lie. Our global efforts to reduce climate change by reducing the cause of climate change (fossil fuel emissions and greenhouse gases) have been a total, complete, and utter failure! Until we come out of this climate change denial and face these painful facts, we will never be able to reduce or avoid the escalating climate change consequences described on this page.)

Cold-Related

Despite it often being called global warming, climate change computer modeling predicts many unseasonable and intense cold spells because the jet stream has started to wobble and become more unstable. This extreme instability brings much colder air from the far north down into areas and at times where it would not usually occur.

There will be more sudden cold or freezing spells at times, and in places, this should not occur! Because more of these cold and freezing spells will appear in locations where it usually does not happen, there will be many frozen and busted pipes and water systems because the water will freeze inside them. Because of the jet stream and other atmospheric disturbances caused by climate change, you will also see cold or freezing spells in places where they have never experienced such weather phenomena.

As more freezing winter weather rapidly changes to warm and rainy, there will be many more damaging and dangerous ice storms. These storms will disrupt personal and business transportation. This increase in ice storms will be harsh on the airline industry, which will have to cancel many more flights because of heavily iced runways and airplane deicing issues.

There will be more frequent hail storms with larger hailstones. Increased heat and warm weather during winter will also cause more rain, freezing rain, and ice storms. These winter ice and freezing rain storms will take down power lines, and the increasing number of downed power lines will further disrupt transportation, manufacturing, and life.

Just as we are already experiencing rain bombs, where weeks or months' worth of rain falls in a day or two, in 2025, the world will recognize that we are also now experiencing snow bombs. Highly disruptive snow bombs occur when about 4 to 8 feet of snow falls in an area over several days. As rain bombs increase in severity, frequency, and scale in covered areas, snow bombs will do the same thing. This rain-to-snow bomb parallel is because snow bombs are just frozen water particles.  As global heating increases, more and more water vapor will be in the air, which, in some places, will make frozen water particles called snow.

Wildfires and Wildfire Smoke-Related

Larger fires will spread faster because of predicted higher-velocity winds, heat, and droughts. As the temperature rises, there will be many more wildfires worldwide, with increasing severity, frequency, and area covered. These wildfires will also cause increasing temporary and permanent evacuations and relocations.

Due to increased droughts and heat, wildfires will occur in forests worldwide, particularly in the northern United States, Canada, northern Europe, Scandinavia, and Russia. Due to recurring and extended droughts, wildfires will also increase in the Amazon tropical forest area.

With wildfires comes wildfire smoke. Wildfire smoke contains dangerous PM 2.5 particles and other highly toxic materials from the homes and other buildings being burned. PM 2.5 and other poisonous particles released during wildfires have a significant health effect on affected populations. It is estimated that in California alone, from 2018 to 2022, approximately 50,000 people died from the PM 2.5 and other toxic effects of wildfire smoke. 

Southern California is a good example of what will happen in many world areas regarding wildfires and smoke. Southern California will experience alternating periods of climate change-driven higher annual rainfall one year or one season, followed by periods of extended and increasing drought the next year or season. When too much annual or seasonal rain and the following drought phenomena are combined with increased global heating, the local area winds will also increase. In the case of southern California, these intensifying winds are called the periodic Santa Anna winds.

Because of accelerating climate change, Southern California will continue to experience too much rain one year or season, followed by severe droughts the next year or season. More specifically, this is dangerous because additional plant growth will occur during the increased rainfall period, and the increased plant growth will dry out during the extended drought periods. This will provide ever-increasing dry wildfire fuel, resulting in ever larger, more intense, and more frequent wildfires and emergency wildfire evacuations in Southern California (especially during periods of the Santa Anna winds). Accelerating climate change will make rebuilding in medium to high-risk wildfire areas of southern California (or anywhere in the world) increasingly unwise and all but impossible to ensure at anything looking like a reasonable cost.

Increasing wildfires worldwide also release massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere, becoming a double disaster because increased atmospheric carbon equals rising average global temperatures.

Season-Related

Normal seasonal weather will become less and less stable or predictable. Significant unseasonable changes like rain and warm weather during winter followed quickly by severe cold spells, then back to warm or rain, then cold again in winter and summer. These rapid changes in warm-to-cold and wet-to-dry weather are because the jet stream has started to wobble and become more unstable.

There will be significantly more crop failure and crop low yield losses due to climate change-driven abnormal seasonal variation, such as essential weather conditions appearing at the wrong time of the season for crop survival, i.e., rain bombs in the sprint planting time, high wind Derechos at harvest time, etc. Seasons that do not begin or end when they usually do will be especially dangerous for crops and gardens.

We will also experience more incidents of freezing rain, ice storms, and damaging large hail in non-winter seasons, lowering food production or destroying complete crops.

Food-Related

Food prices will rise year after year to compensate for climate change-related:

a. farmer food crop losses (low crop yields and crop failures)

b. increased plant feed costs to food animal producers.

c. warming waters are causing increasing dwindling fish stocks.

These increases will be considerably more than the typical cost of living increases. We estimate that because of the accelerating consequences of climate change, food prices will rise at least 2 to 5% or even more annually for many food items. This 2-5% is in addition to whatever the annual national inflation rate is for your nation.

Expect to see significant product shortages and price spikes in the products produced closest to equatorial areas initially because, in general, they will suffer more intense heat, drought, and wildfire-related consequences. Products that will occur early on in the shortage and price spike cycle will include chocolate, coffee, mangoes, and various spices. Generally, any food product that depends upon highly stable traditional growing season weather conditions will become more vulnerable to failure and low yields due to accelerating climate change. Commodity brokers who understand escalating climate change as described on this website are already adjusting their buy and sell portfolios to the new reality of increasing and sudden crop failures and low crop yields.

Animal food prices (cattle, pigs, sheep, and chickens and products from these animals) will also be subject to steadily higher price rises because most animal feed is grown as a crop, and climate change destroys crops and crop yields. Additionally, animal herds will starve more, die, and suffer other disease problems worldwide as more intense climate change consequences occur.

You will begin to see more dynamic electronic pricing in grocery stores. This dynamic pricing will allow grocery stores to change any price on any shelf item with a few computer keystrokes. Dynamic pricing will be critical for food stores to survive in the new reality of rapidly evolving food prices due to low crop and animal yields, failed crops and animal production, and stalled or lost food distribution due to climate change, extreme weather, or disasters.

Because of intensifying climate change consequences, there will be more insects, animals, and humans with new diseases and microbes migrating to new locations. These migrations will bring more insect and animal diseases to new and completely unprepared areas. These new diseases and microbes will cause many more "new" diseases to appear in food plant production and animal livestock in new locations never seen before. These "new" migration-driven diseases will cause major, periodic, and regular losses in plant food and livestock production. These losses will cause temporary, steep, or long-lasting price increases in food plant production or livestock affected by these new diseases. (In many cases, with animal livestock affected by these "new" migration-related diseases, these animal livestock will have to be killed, resulting in steep food price increases. In the following health section, more will be said about how this climate change-driven migration of insects, animals, and humans will affect human health.)

Due to the many different types of climate change-related consequences, there will be more food shortages, which will also cause rapidly rising food prices or serious temporary spikes in food prices.

Climate change will cause increased worldwide starvation. 

No matter what governments worldwide do, say, or promise, they will not be able to lower their nation's rising food costs because of worldwide escalating crop failures and low crop yields directly due to the consequences of climate change. Until your government reverses climate change, food prices will continue to rise. (See the Cost section below for specifics on increasing food costs.)

Health-Related

More individuals will experience an unexpressed generalized or openly expressed climate change-related anxiety, anger, or sadness of various intensity levels from light to disabling. These emotions create continual stress, which is not good for health. For some, these anxiety, anger, or sadness feelings may be consciously expressed. For many others, even those who deny climate change, these feelings may be expressed in a generalized, subconscious, or even as an instinctual peripheral awareness of a growing danger to their lives. Worldwide, particularly among the youngest generations, there is widespread, growing, and serious anxiety about the climate change emergency.

Allergies will significantly worsen in many areas, and allergies will spread to places where they have not existed. This rising allergy problem will be caused by climate change-driven increasing temperatures, more carbon in the atmosphere, and other changing conditions that will cause plant migrations and some plants to multiply dramatically. Many individuals will experience allergies for the first time or more intensely as weather and growing patterns change worldwide and more carbon dioxide, which is good for plants, enters the atmosphere.

Wildfire smoke incidents will increase. The dense smoke events contained dangerous PM 2.5 particles and other highly toxic materials from the homes and buildings being burned. PM 2.5 and other poisonous particles released during wildfires have a significant health effect on affected populations. It is estimated that in California alone, from 2018 to 2022, approximately 50,000 people died from the PM 2.5 and other toxic effects of wildfire smoke. 

Because of intensifying climate change consequences like heat and drought, there will be more insects, animals, and humans with new diseases and microbes migrating to new locations. These migrations will bring more insect, animal, and human diseases to the human populations in the areas that are experiencing the migration, and many of those new disease locations will be poorly or completely unprepared. 

In areas of rapidly melting tundra and permafrost, long-dormant viruses and bacteria that humanity hasn't seen in almost 1 million years or has never seen will circulate once again. These will cause completely new and old diseases to appear in areas where the permafrost and tundra are melting. For example, Russia has already had several outbreaks of natural anthrax, which came from animal carcasses thawing in the melting tundra. These climate consequence-driven new and old disease outbreaks will cause price spikes and long-lasting health cost increases.

There will be more new epidemics and more COVID-like pandemics. Aids, MERS, SARS, Swine flu, and Avian bird flu (and COVID-19 new variants) are zoological viral diseases that have come to humans from animals or insects. This zoological disease cross-over effect is fueled by the loss of natural animal habitat, eating more wild animals, overcrowding causing more human-to-animal interactions, less resilient health systems, mass climate change-driven insect, animal, and human migrations, and the melting of the permafrost and its ancient viral and bacterial pathogens.

Air pollution directly or indirectly causes approximately 11 to 13% of all global deaths yearly. That is about one out of every eight global deaths, or roughly 10 million people a year!

Increased toxic fossil fuel burning-related air pollution will cause millions of additional global cases of childhood asthma and other respiratory ailments. 

More people will have serious health problems after climate change catastrophes (such as breathing and respiratory problems after breathing in wildfire smoke and other health problems after climate change-driven flooding due to chemicals, sewage, and molds in the flood waters.

Far more people will suffer and die in 2025 because of direct and indirect climate change-related consequences than in any previous year. The number of people worldwide who will die from the direct and indirect effects of the primary and secondary climate change consequences will increase to around 120-160 million. 

Filling the atmosphere with accelerating amounts of carbon and methane in many more ways than are described here will not be good for the lifespan or quality of life of humanity.

Cost-Related

Food costs will never go down again if climate change continues to increase. Due to climate consequences, farmers will increasingly experience lower crop yields or complete crop failures. Fisheries will suffer because of warming water and other climate-related implications. Animal livestock for food will also rise in price continually because of increased heat, drought, and other climate consequences, and plant feed used to feed domestic animals will also be subject to low crop yields and crop failures. Both food plants and animal livestock will also suffer more diseases and insect infestations because of more diseases and insects migrating into warmer climates where they have never been before. These food production problems and expenses will also increase year by year as the temperature continues to rise.

In 2025, because of the many accelerating consequences of climate change listed above and below, which directly and indirectly affect all categories of food prices, expect your food bill to go up by 2 to 4 percent more than the previous average food inflation rate. This increase in food prices will also include food distribution costs and food labor production increases as climate change consequences will raise those expenses.

This will devastate low-income families and put paycheck-to-paycheck middle-class families under much higher stress. We estimate that low-income families will spend 15% of their income on food. Middle-class families will spend less of their total income, but there will still be a significant increase of several percent. Food prices will go up far more by percentage and by the percent of total household income in Phase 2 and Phase 3 of climate change, which are described further down the page.

Because of increasing climate change consequence costs, homeowners and business owners will be particularly hard hit by unpredictable and near-continuous rises in property insurance costs. Over the past seven years, property insurance has risen 30% in the US alone. In high climate change risk areas where property insurance is still available, the average cost of an insurance policy has increased by 50%.

Property insurance rate uncertainty and increases will devastate new and existing home and business owners and home and business sales because their monthly/yearly overhead involving property insurance will continually increase out of their control. Unpredictable climate change-driven property insurance rate increases are the hardest on first-time homebuyers because they usually spend every penny they have to move in. This will make it impossible for many first-time homeowners to remain in their homes as climate change worsens and climate change-related property insurance continues to soar as the climate change emergency accelerates. (A recent New York Times article estimated that one in ten homes in the US would soon become financially uninsurable because of accelerating climate change.)

Colossal home and business property insurance increases will hit the real estate and business sales markets hardest. Savvy new buyers will facilitate accelerating property insurance rates in every home or business purchase decision. Within 5-10 years, states will require full disclosure of climate change risks and projected property insurance costs for all home and business sales. (More about this is in the insurance section below.)

Home and business expenses will dramatically increase for individuals and businesses that wisely decide to move out of medium—to high-risk climate change areas and start again elsewhere. They will make this decision because continual rebuilding will be too expensive, and ever-increasing property insurance will make living in those homes or operating those businesses financially unviable sooner rather than later. Additionally, the psychological and emotional stress of continuing to rebuild when climate change is predicted to worsen at even faster rates for many decades is unbearable and irrational.

In 2025, expect more sudden and temporary severe spikes in prices for your energy bills and other critical commodities because of the sudden changes in climate change-driven extreme weather consequences. Unprecedented sudden weather extremes will drastically affect product distribution and the prices of all kinds of energy (electric, gasoline, home heating oil, diesel, etc.) and other critical commodity inventories, reserves, and transportation.

As temperatures and heat deaths continue to rise, more states and nations will require energy-efficient air conditioning in all new homes, businesses, and even many older homes.

Taxes will increase worldwide due to rapidly rising city, county, state, and national government costs related to repairs and rebuilding required by the increasing frequency, severity, and scale of climate change disasters.

City, county, state, and national deficits will increase not only in the underdeveloped nations but also in the rich nations. These rising deficits will occur because the cost of climate change consequences will rise dramatically faster than in previous years. Very few cities, counties, states, or nations are budgeting anywhere close to the actual cost of accelerating climate change consequences in their annual budgets. This denial of the actual accelerating costs of climate change consequences will force ever-larger city, county, state, and national deficits to be experienced as the climate emergency accelerates. No city, county, state, or national government is discussing the projected 3 to 5% or more of the total GDP that accelerating climate change consequences will soon cost.

More people are going deeper into debt and having bill-paying problems after being impacted by climate change-driven extreme weather events, especially since most of the damages will no longer be paid by the government's emergency relief organizations as the sheer number and severity of these climate catastrophes continue to rise.

More frequent, extreme weather-caused temporary and long-term evacuations from affected areas will occur. These ordered evacuations will cause great hardship and costs to those evacuated.

The fossil fuel industries will continue to be able to export and transfer the above-listed financial costs and losses for the damages and suffering their products cause unfairly to the citizens of every nation. It will be you who will pay the higher local state and national taxes and higher insurance rates. Because of the above climate change effects, you will also have to pay personally for any climate-related damages and losses not covered fully by your insurance.

The most expensive single-incident global climate change disaster in 2025 will approach or exceed 300 billion dollars in total cost. The total cost of ALL global climate change-related damages will significantly exceed 1-2 trillion dollars. In 2025, the US and many other countries will, directly and indirectly, be forced to spend about 3-5% of their total gross domestic product (GDP) on climate change-related consequences. These accelerating climate damage expenses have not been planned into any national budget we know about. (The current US GDP is just over 28 trillion dollars.)

More individuals and businesses will be forced to purchase expensive backup generator systems and other backup power sources because of increasing power outages due to extreme weather. Extreme weather power outages will increase so much that individual lives and business operations will be seriously compromised without a backup power source.

The disabled and less affluent will suffer disproportionately more because of climate change consequence costs.

In 2025, the total cost of all climate change-related consequences in the US will exceed $300 billion. Worldwide, the total cost will exceed several trillion dollars. No nation on Earth has yet set up a climate change damage budget to accelerate climate change-related costs. This means that the nations of the Earth will continue to have surprisingly large budget deficits annually as the climate change emergency continues to accelerate.

In 2025, you will hear the term Managed Retreat more often in the media. To be politically correct, this is the term politicians will use instead of saying climate change-related relocation,  even though more people will be choosing to relocate or be forced to relocate because they have run out of repair and rebuilding money or the current government emergency programs or the insurance companies refuse to rebuild their homes, businesses or farms the second or third time. Paradoxically, voluntary or Managed Retreat relocation will create crashing home, business, and farm prices (70-90+%) in medium to high-risk climate change areas. This will create many new homes, businesses, and farm ownership opportunities for low-income individuals willing to buy these properties at drastic fire sale losses and still live or do business without any property insurance. Ironically, the climate change emergency will create more low-income housing, low-income business, and low-income farm opportunities that would've never been possible in the current market had not many individuals continued to deny the obvious and accelerating climate change reality and consequences and then waited too long to relocate out of medium to high-risk climate change areas, which had become uninsurable at viable insurance rates.

One of the worst economic effects of accelerating climate change will be on national and global inflation rates. Because of increasing low crop yields, crop failures, increasing property insurance (in medium to high-risk climate change areas,) as well as the continually rising costs of repairing and rebuilding necessary government and private infrastructure after climate change disaster after climate change disaster (described in this page), no government or state will be able to lower its inflation rates no matter how they try. Inflation rates will stay high and continue to rise in many areas.

Whether budgeted or not, government deficits will continue to rise steeply because the costs of climate change consequences and critical infrastructure repairs nationally and globally will continue to rise. This will force governments to raise taxes to cover the ever-increasing costs of climate change disasters.

Federal Reserve Banks worldwide will have significant difficulty controlling national inflation rates. This is because of the spontaneous, unpredictable, and ever-increasing costs of accelerating climate change consequences. As the temperature continues to rise and escalate climate consequences, unbudgeted national costs will rise, and this will cause increased inflation. Climate change consequence-driven costs and inflation will rise dramatically after 2025.

One of the worst cost-related events in 2025 and beyond is that reinsurance companies (those that insure individual insurance companies to spread and share their risks) will begin canceling reinsurance coverage for the insurance companies they insure that also hold property insurance coverage in medium—to high-risk climate change areas. This will make it impossible for insurance companies to carry even the most expensive property insurance for homes and businesses in these areas.

When reinsurance companies cancel the property insurance coverage of insurance companies, no government will be able to force any individual insurance company into carrying property insurance in medium to high-risk climate change areas because they will have to assume all of the risk themselves individually and put their insurance company at risk of sudden bankruptcy as climate change consequences continue to accelerate.  Insurance companies must follow suit as more worldwide reinsurance companies say no to all climate change medium to high-risk policy coverage. What will follow is a crash in the availability of financially viable home, business, and farm insurance worldwide. This will eventually cause a crash in home, business, and farm prices worldwide in medium to high-risk climate change consequence areas due to their uninsurability.

As more and more home and property insurance rates skyrocket or are canceled, it may turn out that nothing may be more powerful to end global and national climate change denial and begin honest climate change reduction than the costs and problems of having home or business property insurance become so expensive (or be canceled) causing homeowners and business owners into unsustainable and unviable financial hardships including eventual relocations. Sooner or later, the painful and loud complaints of homeowners and business owners (and the industries that serve them, like realtors) will be so powerful that even the most climate change-denying politicians will be forced to change course.

In 2025, we estimate that the total cost of climate change consequences in the US alone will be $300 billion or more. The US government, US businesses, and individual families will not plan for or budget for most of these costs. Climate change will become a more prominent, primarily undiscussed, and financially unmanaged cause of growing national, business, and personal financial losses and deficits. The cost consequences of accelerating climate change will become the most often hidden and unmanageable source of inflation.

Infrastructure-Related

You will begin hearing about more highways and railways buckling and crumbling and becoming temporarily or permanently unusable because of new higher temperatures being reached beyond their original design specifications. This will slow or stop the distribution of critical materials on highways and railways.

More infrastructures, such as dams, bridges, etc., will catastrophically fail worldwide because they were constructed to withstand 100-year extreme weather events, not the record-breaking 1,000-year or 10,000-year climate change-driven extreme weather events that are here now and will continue to worsen.

More home and building construction companies will begin to promote and offer more climate change-resilient features. These will be features like fire-resistant walls and roofs, heating and cooling systems that use the ambient temperature of the ground four feet under the home to cool the home in the summer and heat the home in the winter, extra heavy-duty basement sump pumps, two or three times the current size to remove rising and more frequent rain bomb flooding from home and business basements, wind reinforcement, and wind resilience features (like angled or round walls) to combat rising wind storms and wind speeds. As both wind and heat will become more deadly, destructive, and expensive as the climate change emergency accelerates, you will also see more home and business construction companies offering radical new covered earth and other designs created to allow homes and businesses to survive the radical climate changes coming over the next 6 to 20 years.

In 2025 and beyond, China will build or expand existing dams and reservoirs in Tibet to control the global warming- driven escalating spring flooding runoff that will only worsen as climate change accelerates. These new or expanded dams and reservoirs will also be critical to preserving whatever water will come out of Tibet after the melting of the Tibetan glaciers. China's intelligence agencies do not deny the realities of the coming climate change catastrophes. They are wisely preparing for them. They preserve as much of the precious water resources necessary to secure Tibetan water in China's agricultural future.

Unlike China, rampant and idiotic climate change denial in the US is preventing the US from building the required new dams and reservoirs in new locations to preserve the winter water runoff in the Rocky Mountain areas. The farmers and the ranchers in the western United States will be the pawns and victims of western water shortages and rampant political climate change denial in the United States.

Business, School, and Work-Related

Individuals and businesses will generally experience more climate change-related extreme weather this year, resulting in significantly more inconveniences, delays, losses, and expenses. Thus, more individuals and companies will feel the impact of a never-ending chain of destructive weather events. 

More individuals and businesses will lose wages, sales, and productivity due to delays or repairs needed after climate change-driven extreme weather events. (The poor and middle class will be hardest hit financially by the endless stream of accelerating climate-related disasters.)

High winds, hurricanes, tornadoes, Derechos, downed trees, fires, flooding, and other climate-related extreme weather will cause more frequent, severe, and costly power outages that will last longer and cover larger areas.

More people will experience daily commuting delays and disruptions due to climate-related extreme weather events. 

You will begin hearing about slowed transportation services due to high temperatures or flooding. In some countries, trains will not run or run slowly because their rails warp in the extreme heat.

More ports and warehouses will flood and go offline. This climate transportation problem will slow or stop the distribution of critical materials on highways and railways.

At some point, more individuals and businesses repeatedly hit by climate-related disasters and repaired or rebuilt after each disaster will realize that they can't keep doing the same thing and expect different results. They will eventually begin moving and migrating to the limited areas where they will be significantly safer from the worst consequences of runaway global warming, at least for a while longer.

More banks will turn down construction or remodeling loans for homes or buildings in climate change high-risk areas.

Because of climate change-related extreme weather and its consequences, more students will experience school absences or delays.

Farmers, fishermen, and domestic animal producers will find it harder to be profitable as accelerating climate change consequences devastate seasonal stability and skyrocket related costs. Farmers will have low crop yields or lose crops completely. Domestic animal producers will find the plant feeds needed for their livestock growing too expensive because of droughts and the many other climate change consequences causing low feed crop yields and crop failures. Governments worldwide will have to subsidize these industries because of their continuing losses at taxpayers' expense. Worse yet, these losses will continue until climate change is reversed.

Environment-Related

More biodiversity will be lost through animal, fish, and insect extinctions.

Rising air and water temperatures and various forms of human pollution will increase the number of out-of-control algae blooms in lakes, rivers, and coastal areas.

There will be more shrinking sea ice and ice shelves, glaciers, and snowpack.

Ocean temperatures will continue to increase, creating more intense storms and losses in ocean biodiversity.

Increased ocean acidification will make biological life challenging for many species and fish stocks.

Warmer seas and droughts will wreck coastal fisheries, especially salmon (which spawn in drought-ravaged rivers), crab, and lobster. The government departments managing the fisheries will issue shorter fishing seasons more frequently, delay fishing seasons, or even cancel specific fishing seasons for a year or more.

Accelerating reef collapses worldwide will negatively affect fish spawning and feeding areas, causing the collapse of critical protein in global fish populations. This, in turn, will lead to more human starvation worldwide. 

There will be increased methane releases from melting tundra and permafrost (methane, as a heat-producing greenhouse gas, is about 80 times more potent than carbon in heating the atmosphere). Melting tundra and permafrost are releasing rapidly growing amounts of methane, nitrous oxide, and carbon. These additional greenhouse gases going into the atmosphere will further increase global warming.

Ever-escalating sea-level rise and weather-induced flooding will occur near coastal areas, rivers, streams, and lakes.

Insurance-Related

Insurance and insurance coverage in the age of rising climate change and global warming will be a continuously growing disaster for homeowners, businesses, and farmers. (Reinsurance companies insure the insurance companies against loss and bankruptcy for specified risks.) There will be a steadily increasing loss of all property and mortgage insurance covering climate change-related risks.

Accelerating climate change consequences and their huge insurance damage payouts have thrown the global insurance and reinsurance industry into financial chaos. This economic chaos has led many state and national governments to desperately try to force insurance and reinsurance companies to maintain their coverage in medium—to high-risk climate change consequence areas. This government enforcement strategy is a terrible way to create insurance justice that will not solve the problem.

Forcing state and national governments to require insurance and reinsurance companies to maintain climate change-related coverage in medium to high-risk areas is a fool's errand with multiple worse outcomes. If insurance and reinsurance companies are unfairly forced by state or national governments to maintain insurance in medium to higher-risk climate change areas:

1. Expect your insurance premiums to rise quickly by 100 to 300 percent or even more. Or, 

2. Expect insurance and reinsurance companies to cancel all their policies for homes, businesses, farms, autos, and crop failure in most climate change medium to high-risk areas.

Suppose state or national governments unfairly force insurance and reinsurance companies to maintain insurance in medium to high-risk climate change areas. In that case, insurance companies should and eventually will also demand the following in exchange for preserving coverage: 

1. The government guarantees that they can immediately raise their rates whenever the many different consequences of climate change increase. This would include increasing their rates as much as needed to cover all additional climate change losses, plus a fair profit margin. These rates would not just be raised in the medium to high-risk climate change areas. These rate increases would include everyone insured by that particular insurer. For example, in the climate change-driven wildfire and flooding state of California, do not be surprised if insurance carriers still have policies in California, Florida, etc, asking for regular annual increases of 20 to 40% or more to cover risk in climate change areas. 

2. The government guarantees that insurance and reinsurance companies can use new 1,000—and 10,000-year floodplain, wildfire, and extreme weather risk charts. Independent climate change researchers would create these charts because current climate change information used by the US Geological Survey and governments around the world have been wildly distorted by the billions of dollars spent on climate change disinformation by the global fossil fuel cartel. Without further state or national approval, these new charts also allow insurance and reinsurance companies to rapidly expand the definition and size of medium to high-risk climate change areas to always control their risks and losses. 

3. The government guarantees that the state and national governments will finally do their job to enforce the correct and urgently needed fossil fuel reduction regulations on toxic carbon and methane pollution from fossil fuel use. Over the following decades, this will gradually reduce insurance and reinsurance climate change risks and losses. However, this is a slow recovery process so that coverage will be tricky for decades.

4. The government guarantees that the state or national governments will immediately establish adequate Managed Retreat, which is where state and national buyback funds, funded by taxpayer contributions, are used to purchase all homes, businesses, and farms in climate change medium to high-risk areas that will be severely damaged and destroyed repeatedly. This must be done because any insurance or reinsurance property claim payouts provided to damaged and destroyed homes, businesses, and farms in those medium to high-risk areas would be a waste of additional valuable taxpayer resources (or insurance company resources) with no discernable benefit.

Financing Managed Retreat would be shifted to the full responsibility of state and national governments to make restitution for their decades of failure to protect their citizens from escalating climate change when the horrendous consequences were well-known over 60 years ago.

(Please note that in addition to a very quiet, almost secretive current process of selective government-funded Managed Retreat, there will be an ever-increasing process of organically managed retreat. Organic managed retreat is when a business, farm, or homeowner has been flooded out, burned out, droughted out, smoked out, etc., so often that they cannot go through the emotional, psychological, and financial process of rebuilding one more time. 

They have finally reached the point where they do not expect different climate change consequences in the future during the accelerating climate change emergency already prevalent in medium to high-risk areas. They are exhausted from this repeated loss and rebuilding process or trying to collect from insurance companies desperate to get out of the climate change business or from dwindling government emergency relief funds with endless red tape taking years to collect.)

Without the four above government guarantees, no amount of legal action could be sustained through the court systems that could force insurance and reinsurance businesses to act in a way that would destroy those businesses. Do not be surprised to soon hear about stockholders in these insurance and reinsurance companies demanding the firing of any senior-level executive dumb enough to keep the insurance or reinsurance company in the property insurance business of covering well-known and rapidly accelerating climate change consequence risks.

To make the climate change insurance and reinsurance crisis worse, more traditional mortgage insurance companies are also jumping into this insurance and reinsurance chaos and refusing to provide ANY home, business, or farm mortgages for climate change medium to high-risk areas without skyrocketing their mortgage rates. These related home, business, and mortgage insurance cancelations or radical rate increases will eventually result in severe real estate and business and farm losses in all climate change medium to high-risk areas because homes, buildings, or farms will be tricky to impossible to sell without being able to secure mortgage insurance or obtain home, business or farm insurance. Uninsurable homes, businesses, and farms will sell at a small fraction of their pre-cancellation value.  

Insurance and reinsurance companies on their own are already abandoning their previous and currently near-useless 100-year floodplain, wildfire, and extreme weather risk charts. They are creating their own 1,000-year or 10,000-year floodplain, wildfire, and extreme weather risk charts that better reflect current and future climate change risks. These new 1,000 to 10,000-year charts will result in insurance and reinsurance companies dramatically and rapidly expanding their climate change no-insurance zones to stay ahead of rapidly accelerating climate change consequences.

These new 1,000 to 10,000-year risk charts are critical for protecting insurance and reinsurance companies from bankruptcy and unfairly having to pay for the known accelerating consequences and risks of climate change caused by the global fossil fuel cartel's toxic carbon and methane atmospheric pollution. The risk departments at insurance and reinsurance companies already know with very high certainty that the destructive impacts of climate change consequences will rise dramatically from now until 2031 and, after that, exponentially.

Additionally, insurance and reinsurance companies are legally digging in. They legally claim they did not cause the highly preventable climate change emergency if governments had done their due diligence and were not grossly negligent. They are also holding the legal position that climate change is not an act of God. They are vigorously forwarding the correct, fair, and legal position that climate change is a direct result of the long-term inaction and incompetency of state and national governments in regulating fossil fuel cartel toxic air pollution from burning fossil fuel use.

Insurance and reinsurance companies aggressively hold the legal position that state and national governments have failed for over 60 years to regulate the escalating toxic carbon and methane pollution of the global fossil fuel cartel and manage the well-known rising climate change risks and global warming threat. They are also claiming that because the global fossil fuel cartel has spent billions on proven global climate change disinformation and misinformation that the government has failed to manage or correct, they are not responsible for the consequences of climate change. They refuse to become the financial "fall guys" for the known and intentional destructive acts of others. Click here to see the documentation on the massive global disinformation and misinformation program funded by the global fossil fuel cartel.

Not unlike corporations, which are held legally responsible for their negligence or harmful acts, insurance and insurance companies are taking the legal position that state and national governments (along with the global fossil fuel cartel) are also fully responsible for paying for all of the consequences of climate change because of their decades of unconscionable failure to set and enforce climate change regulations to prevent the climate consequences and losses we are now experiencing.

Suppose state and national governments continue to try to force insurance and reinsurance companies to maintain coverage in medium to high-risk climate change areas (as they are already doing in some areas). In that case, insurance and reinsurance companies will find legal and other ways to raise rates astronomically. Hence, they never lose money, no matter how much climate change's consequences accelerate. Insurance and reinsurance companies have painfully realized they have no choice but to continually skyrocket insurance rates or rapidly cancel home, business, and farm property and mortgage policies in all climate change medium—to high-risk areas to prevent their going bankrupt for a highly predictable and preventable human-made problem.

Accelerating climate change is a known no-win crisis for global insurance and reinsurance companies. Skyrocketing insurance rates or cancellations are already causing a rapidly expanding global insurance coverage crisis. Soon, this climate change-fueled insurance crisis will also cause a real estate and business crisis.

State and national governments trying to unfairly force insurance companies to maintain coverage in medium to high-risk climate change areas will prove to be just another failed government policy, not unlike their failure to regulate the toxic air pollution of fossil fuel companies causing our current climate change. 

Politicians, states, and national governments are establishing property insurance coverage for canceled homes, businesses, and farms in medium—to high-risk climate change areas doomed to fail.

Because many insurance and reinsurance companies globally are already refusing to cover climate change risks in medium—to high-risk areas no matter what the state or government threatens, many states and governments have started their own climate change-related property insurance funds. The problem with these state-run funds is that they are grossly underfunded and will never be able to keep up with the ever-rising costs of accelerating climate change consequences.

Those homeowners, businesses, and farms that depend upon and pay for these government-run policies as property insurance of last resort will get a fraction of what was promised as climate consequences worsen. These state-run, underfunded insurance policies will eventually collapse, and those who paid into them will lose everything. 

Currently, the state-run climate change insurance funds have no required minimum cash reserve levels besides being grossly underfunded. A good example of these poorly conceived, underfunded state-run climate change insurance funds is found in the brainchild of California Governor Gavin Newsom and his climate change advisory team. It appears that our politicians will do anything but confront the facts of the climate change emergency and immediately enact and enforce the correct fossil fuel use reductions needed to save humanity from climate change chaos and widespread extinction.

Over the next 10 years, one in 10 homes and businesses in high- and medium-risk climate change areas are predicted to become completely uninsurable. This will force massive losses in the real estate business and farming industries. At its very best, governments attempting to force insurance coverage will only result in insane premiums that no one can pay but billionaires. 

The bottom line for insurance and reinsurance companies is that they will soon go bankrupt if they continue to accept or extend property insurance coverage to homes, businesses, or farms in medium—to high-risk climate change areas. Not only will they go bankrupt, but they will increase their staff's property policy servicing costs before they do. Climate change-related property insurance risks have become the ultimate no-win market segment for the insurance and reinsurance industry.

Ironically, with increasing insurance cancellations and soaring rates in high- to medium-risk climate change areas, the insurance and reinsurance industries have become the most significant single power for reversing global climate change denial. Climate change-related insurance and reinsurance cancellations and soaring rates on the world's citizens have become an ever-growing and highly effective motivational force on governments and politicians to get them to stop denying reality and finally begin making the required and honest fossil fuel use reductions worldwide. 

For decades, no government, nonprofit organization, or mass climate change protest has been as effective as the insurance and reinsurance industries in removing the fossil fuel's toxic pollution profit incentives relating directly to their climate change consequences. As inadvertent advocates for humanity's survival and climate change rationality, the world and future generations will increasingly recognize, applaud, and honor the business wisdom and the heroism of the stockholders, executives, and staff of the world's insurance and reinsurance industries. 

By steadfastly protecting the profitability of their businesses, they are also protecting humanity's future. In this area, it finally appears that traditional market forces will have a robust and continually growing profitability-controlling effect to help eliminate the toxic pollution and other climate change damages of the global fossil fuel cartel that directly fuels the accelerating climate change emergency.

It covers the intense financial fallout these insurance rates and cancellation problems will cause in other critical industries and the growing difficulty in obtaining home, business, or farm mortgage insurance in quickly growing climate change medium to high-risk areas. It also covers in its documentation the uncensored climate change research, forecasts, and analysis that the most innovative insurance and reinsurance companies use in their climate change risk evaluation departments. The uncensored information they are using is not anything like what you are hearing in the media, from your government, or the UN IPCC.

Politics-Related

At first, there will be a temporary economic surge in construction and home and business repair caused by increasing climate change consequences and disasters. This climate change repair and rebuild strategy will continue in some areas of medium to high climate change disaster zones. Eventually, the city, county, state, or national governments will be unable to repeatedly help fund, rebuild, or repair homes or businesses for the uninsured or the underinsured inside these dangerous climate change zones. Many governments will then switch to less expensive "Managed Retreat" strategies.

Accelerating climate change consequences will cause governments to purchase more homes and businesses under the managed retreat strategy. This strategy was designed to save money on futile and repetitive repair and rebuilding after new climate disasters in the same area.

Eventually, "Managed Retreat" strategies will no longer work because taxpayers will rebel against the rising tax burden needed to pay for this strategy. (See the Insurance-Related Consequence section for a more robust discussion of Managed Retreat and government coverage of climate change costs.)

There will continue to be a mass human migration of climagees (climate refugees) to the safer global warming zones. In 2019, the United Nations estimated that 100 million individuals migrated from high-risk areas to safer areas or countries because of their homelands' deteriorating climate. In 2025, because of the increases in the primary and secondary consequences of climate change, the number of climate change sufferers will be from 120 million to 160 million.

States and governments worldwide will declare more climate change disaster-related states of emergency in 2025. These expensive emergency mobilizations to cope with rising climate disasters will drain public tax revenues and deplete disaster relief personnel.

As climate change consequences continue to intensify, there will be an increase in fear, uncertainty and anxiety among the general public. The general public worldwide has not been told how severe climate change consequences will become. Consequently, when they see them intensifying, breaking record after record with their own eyes, it will be harder for the public to maintain the cognitive dissonance of believing everything will be OK with the climate while witnessing increasing climate change destruction.

When the general public becomes fearful and uncertain, they become vulnerable to dictators, authoritarian groups, and governments that tell them they can fix their problems and that they will be safe if they only accept restrictions on human rights or martial law, etc. As climate change worsens, dictatorial governments will continue to rise, and democracies worldwide will significantly decline.

In particular, there will be a worldwide rise in cultlike religious fundamentalism and religious extremism as more people become fearful of the increasing negative climate changes they see and "know" are occurring but do not understand or cannot openly acknowledge as climate change consequences. Matching this growing and troubling worldwide religious fundamentalism and extremism pattern will be the rise of the power and influence of such movements in global politics. These political changes toward cultlike political authoritarianism or dictatorships will be strongly driven by these religious fundamentalist and extremist factions within many nations worldwide. This will occur because these religious fundamentalists and extremist factions see seizing more political control as a last resort method to control and reduce the many fears, uncertainties, and anxieties they have about the climate and other social factors in society. They see this power grab as a last resort requirement because of the widespread deteriorating crisis they see occurring and because they also believe that their fundamentalist and extremist agendas are the perfect and only solutions to the current crises.

Accelerating climate change consequences will amplify and multiply the stresses on almost everyone and do the same to nearly all of the world's major problems. This is especially true in underdeveloped countries where increased climate stresses, poor management, and lack of resources will quickly aggravate the existing problems within those countries beyond crisis levels. As climate change worsens, you will first see widespread ecological, political, economic, and social system collapses occurring in the weakest areas of the world and then spreading to the next weakest area.

Because of the accelerating consequences of climate change worldwide, more people will acknowledge that it is real and dangerous and that we must do something about it. As this occurs in the general population, you will gradually see politicians who were climate deniers or received money from the global fossil fuel cartel change their climate change positions. They will begin to acknowledge that climate change is real and call for climate change regulation to reduce the growing consequences.

In 2025, more nations and politicians will push for changing their existing immigration laws, making it harder for large numbers of new immigrants to arrive because their intelligence agencies and briefed politicians clearly understand that climate change migration by climate refugees (climagees) will continue to rise year by year at greater and greater numbers. Changing the immigration laws now will help make it easier for those nations as the mass migrations from high-risk and medium-risk climate change areas accelerate.

In 2025, some authoritative nations worldwide will hide or downplay the reality of accelerating climate change consequences.

Also, see Part Four further below on how the new White House administration will affect the climate change emergency.

Miscellaneous-Related

Accelerating climate change consequences will steadily and aggressively "attack" the most fragile and "weakest links" within the world's social, economic, political, and environmental systems. The cumulative and synergetic effects of accelerating climate change consequences will first disrupt normal operations within the weakest links within many national and ecological systems. Then, year by year, they will steadily push those systems into new levels of emergencies, disasters, catastrophes, and eventually, into complete collapse. 

Litigation against fossil fuel companies for the damages caused by climate change consequences will continue to rise. Thousands of lawsuits exist against fossil fuel companies worldwide for these damages by individuals, businesses, states, and nations. The state of New York in the United States appears likely to soon win a large case against the fossil fuel companies for climate change damages the state of New York has had to pay for. (For more information on these thousands of worldwide lawsuits and how you too can get restitution for the climate change damages you have experienced, click here to begin to learn what you can do.)

More individuals will experience a generalized climate change fear and anxiety. They will see undeniable patterns and trends of worsening climate disasters but will not understand climate change processes and projections well enough to understand what is happening. This generalized climate of anxiety and fear will affect their health and well-being. It also will make them more strongly inclined to accept false climate change solutions from individuals who project certainty and safety even though what is being proposed will not work and whose solutions will only surreptitiously protect the status quo of the global fossil fuel cartel profits and its affiliated companies.

Because of more climate change-related extreme weather events, personal road trips and vacations will take longer or be disrupted more frequently.

Sometime during 2025, the high barrier wall being expanded by the new US administration at the southern US border, which was designed to keep out migrants, will start being called the climate change wall. As the climate change emergency worsens, more individuals and organizations worldwide will recognize the wall for what it is becoming.

In the news, you will hear about more climate researchers and knowledgeable high-level government employees living in medium—to high-risk climate change areas quietly moving themselves and their families to lower-risk regions.

Record-breaking climate change-driven weather will soon become so regular that you will hardly give it much attention. But those paying attention will see every kind of weather record being broken by greater and greater amounts at faster and faster rates.

In 2021, 75% of the world experienced weather extremes due to climate change, like those mentioned in this document. In 2025, that percentage goes to 90% of humanity or more.

In 2025, most people will still not grasp that if we do not achieve the correct 75% global fossil fuel reduction targets sometime close to 2025 (but no later than 2031 if we are very fortunate), about half of humanity will die by mid-century.

In 2025, global action to fix the climate change emergency will not change significantly from its current denial and avoidance of the real, honest, and practical actions needed to fix this global emergency. Only drastic and widespread painful personal and business climate change disruption will sufficiently increase our collective emergency awareness to compel effective governmental climate change action.

Major environmental groups will continue to allow the incorrect and fossil fuel-friendly and "far too little, far too late" fossil fuel reduction targets of the world governments to go unchallenged. 

A more significant portion of humanity will gradually become aware of the truth of our global warming extinction emergency and that our governments have failed for decades to make the required global fossil fuel reductions when global fossil fuel reduction would have been far easier to make and could have been far more gradual and less painful.

Beginning in 2025, more people worldwide will slowly understand that accelerating climate change is and will continue to be the greatest disruptor of the 21st century. They will also begin to see that it is a threat multiplier and amplifier of most of humanity's other major global crises and problems.

Most individuals will begin to grasp that mass human extinction (aka Climageddon) will not occur far off in the future. They will see that its foundation is already in place and that, in many poorer, climate change-vulnerable nations, a climate change-driven Climageddon is already occurring. 

In 2025, we will enter the atmospheric CO2 carbon 425-450 ppm threshold caused by our global burning of fossil fuels. As of December 2024, we are at the carbon 425 ppm range. Staying below the carbon 425-450 ppm threshold level is humanity's last chance to save the future from a massive human die-off. 

Today, December 10th, we are at 422 ppm of carbon CO2 and 524 ppm of CO2 Equivalent. (The CO2 equivalent measurement combines all three carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide greenhouse gases into one measurement. Our 524 ppm of CO2 equivalent means we are in profound trouble because a 450 ppm CO2 equivalent has always been the limit for the old 2C equilibrium warming. This equivalent warming warning implies that at that 450 ppm CO2 equivalent level, humanity is already doomed to reach a 2°C + global warming increase, and that cannot be stopped for centuries to thousands of years.

(Click here to read why a horrible mass die-off outcome will likely happen.)

Humanity will eventually reach the point where it can no longer endure the escalating consequences of climate change and will finally act. Unfortunately, if humanity does not act soon, it may be too late for most of us to survive.

In Job One's home, San Francisco, California, our city will wisely be the first to change its planned 2-3-foot climate change protective bay sea wall plans and build at least a six to ten-foot sea wall to survive correct and honest projected sea-level rise over the following decades.

Six last thoughts for our 2025 climate change consequence forecast:

1. The consequences of climate change are no longer growing slowly year to year. They are dramatically accelerating in frequency, severity, and size because we are crossing more climate systems and subsystem tipping points, feedbacks, and points of no return. At this point, every home, business, and community should have a backup energy supply system. You will need a backup energy system because widespread power outages will continue to accelerate as record-breaking extreme weather events occur more frequently and cover larger areas worldwide.

2. If you remember nothing else from this page besides what is in this section, you have everything you need to know about where the climate future is going. Namely:

a. our climate change consequences are going to become more severe, more frequent, and cover larger areas,

b. climate change consequences will become the greatest disruptor of the 21st century,

c. Climate change consequences will significantly multiply and amplify humanity's other major global problems, worsening disasters and catastrophes. In 2025, climate change consequences will directly or indirectly cause significantly more destruction, financial loss, suffering, and death.

3. More individuals, businesses, and farms will relocate rather than rebuild after a climate change-related disaster in any medium to high-risk climate change area. After a business, farm, or family has been flooded out, burned out, droughted out, smoked out, etc., more of them will not want to go through the emotional, psychological, and financial process of rebuilding with a higher probability they will soon have to do it again as climate change continues to escalate. Wisely, they no longer expect a different future for climate change consequences in a worsening climate change emergency. They know the repeated rebuilding process, the process of trying to collect from insurance companies or collecting from dwindling government emergency relief funds, will take years and ultimately will be an additional waste of money and time added to all the money and time losses from the original climate disaster.

5. As climate change consequences and conditions worsen, there will be a continuous flow of intentionally misleading global fossil fuel cartel-sponsored fake good climate change news.

Fake good climate change news is defined as climate news that does not directly and effectively reduce the amount of the greenhouse gases of carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere to the levels necessary to save humanity from climate chaos and mass human extinction.

This uptick in cartel-financed fake climate change good news is meant to hide and deny the real climate change emergency or deflect attention from the need to do anything genuinely effective about it by cutting global fossil fuel use. This fake good climate news will sound fantastic and hopeful. It will talk about some minimal progress in various climate areas, and this "feel-good" progress still will not effectively change the current accelerating climate change emergency in any meaningful way that will prevent climate chaos and mass human extinction.

Please don't be fooled by the fake climate change good news, which hides and denies the utter and total failure of humanity's current climate change management actions. The greenhouse gas illustration below demonstrates the climate emergency worsening even faster.

6. If you're concerned about what you've read about your climate future, you can do something decisive about it.

1. Email your local, state, and national politicians a link to this forecast and ask them what they will do about the climate change emergency to get your vote in the next election.

2. Please also send this 2025 climate change consequences forecast to everyone you love or who should have it so they can be prepared. Most people have no idea how bad climate change will get or how fast it will happen. The billions of dollars spent by the global fossil fuel cartel on climate change misinformation and disinformation have been an overwhelming success in the media and as a truth-suppressing influence over our governments and the UN IPCC. Click here to read the documentation on how the global fossil fuel cartel is keeping you in the dark about the extreme climate change danger and their liability for the damages that you, your family, and your businesses are experiencing or will experience.

Part 2: In 2025, where you live will also determine the severity, frequency, and scale of climate change's increasing consequences.

In general, other than for microclimates, if you live between the 35th parallel north and the 35th parallel south, your climate change primary and secondary consequences will be considerably worse than in other areas of the world. On the other hand, if you live between the 35th and 45th parallels, either north or south, your climate change consequences will be less severe but still horrible.

If you live between the 45th and 55th parallels, your consequences will be lighter than most other areas but still painful. If you live above the 55th parallel north or south, you will still have many severe consequences. In many ways, these consequences are worse than for those living between the 45th and 55th parallel. You will experience more wildfires, and temperatures will be much higher than ever; melting permafrost and tundra will cause infrastructure problems, and growing food in these areas will be more challenging.

Part 3: The Biggest Climate Change Tipping Points, Feedback Loops, and Disaster Warning Signs to Monitor in 2025.

Methane feedback emissions are the single most significant climate change tipping point and warning sign to monitor closely in 2025. Methane is about 80 times more potent than carbon in the atmosphere in raising global temperature. 

Methane emissions are rapidly increasing from the peat-rich wetlands of the world's primarily tropical wetlands, some from subarctic peatlands and thawing permafrost. 

This methane release from tropical wetlands and subarctic peatlands is one of many climate change positive feedback loop situations. (Below is an illustration of a positive feedback loop for melting ice that will help you understand the danger of self-reinforcing and amplifying positive feedback loops in climate change. Notice how feedback loops are circular, where each thing adds more to the next item and on and on.)

Worse, few national governments have methane tracking regulations; even fewer have methane reduction laws or programs. This lack of methane tracking and reduction targets is no accident. The fossil fuel industry and its lobbying efforts have been unbelievably successful in hiding the methane time bomb from the general public.

Methane is also released from:

a. fossil fuel industry fracking,

b. gasoline and diesel fuel production, and 

c. the billions and billions of cattle and other livestock, 

d. The many other methane-releasing climate change feedback loops are discussed here.

We are facing nothing less than a global methane time bomb that could render almost all of humanity extinct within a few decades. 

The global methane extinction time bomb is discussed here. (About two-thirds of the way down the page, the third extinction accelerating climate tipping point is described.)

The methane graph below soars to levels not seen over the last 10,000 years. (Notice how methane in the atmosphere started to soar at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, about 1870.)

The next worst climate issue is the climate feedback loop of the loss of Arctic sea ice for most of the summer.

The earliest published projection for the Arctic Sea to be completely ice-free during the summer is 2035. However, an abrupt and catastrophically massive loss of Arctic sea ice could occur any year before 2035. 

A vast or complete loss of Arctic summer sea ice will drive even larger methane and carbon emissions from subarctic peatlands and thawing permafrost. 

When all Arctic sea ice is gone in the summers, many Arctic amplifying feedbacks will interact and become inter-reinforcing. As a result, the climate system and life will be pushed by orders of magnitude that are more challenging than ever before. So stay tuned and carefully monitor the news for major Arctic summer sea ice losses!

The next most critical global climate tipping point is major worldwide rivers drying up or dropping dangerously low.

For example, this happened in the US, drying Colorado and China's Yangtze rivers. As more worldwide rivers dry up in the summers, hundreds of millions of people will be severely affected by drinking water shortages, skyrocketing electric bills, water-related crop failures, etc.

This article about the Colorado River crisis explains how skyrocketing electric and water bills could harm millions.

This article discusses the Yangtze River crisis. 

Here are the most essential critical climate tipping points and climate feedback loops to observe in the news.

We know the above is terrible news for 2025, but please remember the most crucial thing after reading our 2025 forecast. 

Our governments and politicians have squandered the last 60 years in inaction or ineffective climate change actions. If they had acted effectively, fixing climate change could have been much easier and more gradual.

Suppose our governments enforced the now-required fossil fuel reductions and came close to their nation's legitimate and radical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. In that case, we can still avoid many, but not all, of the worst consequences on this page. 

But we can only save much of humanity if we all work together to compel our governments and politicians to act NOW!

And finally, if you are concerned about what you can do about the climate change emergency and protect yourself, click here.

If you have doubts about what you are reading. For many visitors to our uncensored climate change think tank's website, their biggest question after reading our climate change consequences and timetable forecasts is, "Why are your climate change forecasts so much worse than almost everything I hear in the media from my government, the educational environmental and climate change organizations, or the former world's leading authority on climate change, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (the IPCC)? Click here for the five critical reasons that will fully answer your why so much worse question.

Part 4: How the intensifying 2025 climate change consequences will affect your life will be in waves, not how most people think it will happen.

The many consequences of climate change will unfold slowly. In general, the consequences of climate change usually develop in cyclical, sporadic surges. These erratic but cyclical climate change consequence surges will continue to increase in severity, frequency, and scale, often reaching new record levels. 

After reaching new record levels, the climate change consequence will quickly fall back to near-normal or even below-normal levels. After a climate change consequence falls from record levels, it most likely will move into a plateau level (either below or above the previous normal level) before beginning another cycle of increased severity, frequency, and scale, often reaching another new record level and then, once again, falling back down quickly to near-normal levels.

This three-phase cyclical steep up, quick down, and back to the near-typical pattern will prevent many individuals from seeing climate change's long-term patterns and trends. This climate consequence pattern of ignorance will make individuals and businesses vulnerable to the next sporadic intensifying cycle of climate change-driven catastrophes. 

In part, the most common climate change-driven extreme weather consequences are defined as heat waves, heat domes, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, cyclones, tornados, floods and flooding, rain bombs, wind storms [Derechos], dust storms, wildfire smoke events, unseasonable cold spells, and other abnormal unseasonal weather. But those are only a few of the many climate change consequences we will soon be experiencing at intensifying levels. 

If you begin to think about climate change consequences occurring in the pattern of more frequent, more severe, and larger-scaled sporadic "waves" that eventually affect and break down the standard patterns of our lives, you would have a good idea about how climate change consequences will unfold this year and over the following decades. Do not panic or worry if a climate change consequence spikes to a new record, like soaring land or sea temperatures for a week, a month, or even a season. It will eventually drop to near its normal range, but that is only a tiny part of the climate consequence problem. 

The real problem, which is invisible to most people, will be that almost all climate change consequences will continue to sporadically increase in severity, frequency, and scale season by season, year by year, and decade by decade:

1. From now until 2025, on average, most climate change consequences will increase in intensity at a significantly accelerated rate.

2. On average, from 2025 to 2031, the intensity of most climate change consequences will increase dramatically, as will severe global climate catastrophes.

3. On average, the intensity of many of the worst climate change consequences will increase near-exponentially from 2031 to 2050. Severe global climate catastrophes will occur regularly, making it challenging to cope with the waves of damage and losses.

The good news is that by understanding how climate change will unfold in sporadic intensifying waves over the following decades, you will have time to prepare, adapt, and hopefully help change the dangerous direction of the world's accelerating climate change consequences. 

You can use the above graphic to imagine how climate change consequences will unfold. The green bars represent how new records will be broken over time (left to right). The blue bars represent how, after each new broken climate change consequence record, that consequence will drop back steeply and quickly to plateau at near-normal levels and stay that way for a while. Unfortunately, even the normal plateau levels of many consequences will continue increasing gradually.

The only terrifying thing that can change the above-described cyclical, more gradual climate change consequence escalation pattern is humanity crossing major climate tipping points or primary climate feedback loops, as we are doing now. Crossing these two things separately or together will cause global climate change consequences to accelerate dramatically and then exponentially.

Please see the graph below to understand what we mean by saying that almost all climate change consequences will rise dramatically and exponentially after crossing tipping points. This illustration shows not only the gross failure of your governments to regulate and protect you from the accelerating consequences of climate change caused by burning more and more fossil fuel, but it also illustrates how the acceleration of climate change consequences after tipping points are crossed will directly follow and parallel the steep rise of the three major greenhouse gases polluting our atmosphere.

The graph below shows the three major fossil fuel-related greenhouse gases: carbon (CO2), methane (CH4), and Nitrous Oxide (N2O). The numbers at the bottom of the illustration are dates in history AD.  PPB is parts per billion. PPM is parts per million. (The IPCC is the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, AR6 is the IPCC's climate summary report, and NOAA is the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.) As you can see below, we are walking into a perilous climate change consequence future.

For many visitors to our climate change think tank's website, the biggest question they have after reading our climate change forecasts is...

"Why are your climate change forecasts so much worse than almost everything you hear in the media, from your government, or many other environmental and climate change educational organizations?"

The simple and foremost reason is that, like only a few others worldwide, our organization uses calculations, approximations, or values related to the many climate change tipping points, feedback loops, and other seldom compensated factors from what is called the Climageddon Feedback Loop. Other organizations either intentionally ignore these critical factors or do not use them because of a climate change ignorance of the dialectical and interacting dynamics of complex adaptive systems and the many systems and subsystems of climate change. To learn about the survival-critical Climageddon Feedback Loop and its effects on your future, click here.

If You Have Suffered Climate Change-Related Damages or Financial Losses Special Restitution Notice

There are time limitations for collecting climate change damage restitution from the perpetrator of climate change, the members of the global fossil fuel cartel.

If you have just experienced a climate change-related extreme weather event involving any heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes and cyclones, flooding, rain bombs, wind storms (Derechos), dust storms, wildfire smoke events, unseasonable cold spells, and abnormal unseasonal weather and, you need to begin the process for financial recovery and restitution by reading this page as soon as possible due to time limitations on filing for restitution from harmful acts. This page will connect you to successful law firms handling this specialty.

If you have experienced damage to your home, business, or farm from climate change-related consequences, you must begin a lawsuit against all related parties ASAP. Some wealthy companies have directly caused the climate change emergency and the damages you have experienced or that, as part of their legally required due diligence, should have informed you of the relevant climate change risks. 

The number of court cases focused on the global climate change crisis and its consequent damages has doubled since 2015, bringing the total number to over 2,000, according to a report by European researchers last year. More than two dozen US cities and states are suing big oil, alleging the fossil fuel industry knew for decades about the dangers of burning coal, oil, and gas and actively hid that information from consumers and investors.

Part 5: How the change in the US Government administration with the new 47th US president radically worsens humanity's climate change consequences.

The major political philosophy change in the US government administration in 2025 presents significant new problems for the climate change movement and forecasting. The incoming US administration has already said it will cut green energy generation subsidies and promote more fossil fuel production, which will have a major negative effect on climate change management and reduction.

Although the US is the biggest worldwide producer of fossil fuels, the probability that the new administration will promote even more fossil fuel extraction and sales creates a colossal climate change problem not just in and for the United States. Every other fossil fuel-producing country or any country that wants to remain competitive and profitable in fossil fuel energy will be forced to mirror the new US administration's fossil fuel-promoting positions and actions. This mirroring will, unfortunately, exponentially multiply the worldwide adverse effects of burning fossil fuels triggered by the vast anticipated US increase in fossil fuel production and sales.

Additionally, because the new US administration promises to cut green energy subsidies, the exact harmful behavior-mirroring effect will echo worldwide as other nations do the same to maintain their competitiveness. History has repeatedly and painfully proven that people, companies, and governments will quickly imitate whatever is profitable.

The new US administration is also a strong promoter of Bitcoin. Bitcoin servers demand extreme to ridiculously high energy use. We anticipate that any widespread new promotion and acceptance of Bitcoin will counterbalance global gains in our current anemic and grossly inadequate fossil fuel use reduction programs. The growth of Bitcoin will worsen climate change and global warming even more quickly.

The new 2025 US administration's projected position on cutting or removing green energy subsidies is a monster future economic disaster for the United States. This is because China already has a nearly insurmountable lead in manufacturing green energy generation and green energy-dependent products. Once the new US administration enacts the cutting or reducing of US green energy generation and green product subsidies, the United States will have seeded to China the world's most profitable future segment of manufacturing and business.

Most people do not know that energy production is the world's largest market segment. It accounts for about 25-30% of the world's total gross product (GDP). When you include all green energy-related products needed in the future, this market segment could approach 35-40% of the total world GDP.

The new US administration's short-sighted policies regarding green energy will accelerate China's massive lead in the world's green energy generation equipment production segment and the green products segment. This short-sightedness will create a future green energy competitiveness deficit in the US economy from which the US will never recover. China will become the unbeatable world's largest producer of green energy products, the critical future direction of humanity's energy use.

Additionally, over the next several decades, we estimate that the many consequences of the new US administration's contrarian and counterintuitive energy policies and its enthusiastic promotion of the energy-greedy Bitcoin during an accelerating climate change emergency will increase the destructiveness and timeframes of global climate change consequences by about 10 to 25% from our previous dire estimates. 

The major change in economic strategy surrounding fossil fuel energy, green energy generation, and green products by the new US administration may be the last straw and final death rattle for any hope of resolving the climate change emergency before humanity enters the second irreversible stage of runaway global warming once it crosses the atmospheric carbon 450 parts per million. (Click here to read about the four stages of irreversible runaway global warming and their catastrophic and extinction-accelerating consequences.)

One of the most bizarre statements by members of the new US administration has to do with buying Greenland. For most people, that looks like some statement out of the blue without relevance. But to the few in right-leaning political and intelligence think tanks, this is one of the key moves of the future. What the new administration and these rightly leaning think tanks won't say and must keep secret is that they already know that a climate change-driven widespread global collapse and mass extinction are coming. They know it is now unavoidable because they see the actual science, and they know we have failed to reduce global fossil fuel use for the last 60 years.

The few deep thinkers in the right-leaning think tanks may think the accelerating global collapse process is 50-70 years away, while some may even think it's only 15 to 25 years away. No matter their timetable or beliefs, they know the standard solution is to acquire the safest land areas least affected by climate change in negative ways. This means that the current US administration wants to buy Greenland for the future climate security of the United States.

In Greenland, large amounts of new land will be exposed as the glaciers melt and it warms. Greenland is also rich in other resources. They know Greenland is so far away from everything else that it is easily defended. Greenland would be an ideal place to transport key members of the American government, their families, and the wealthiest Americans. At the same time,  the rest of the world will suffer the chaos or the climate change emergency. (During the presidential campaign, there were also statements about making Canada the 51st US state for similar reasons to the Greenland purchase described above.)

Right-leaning think tanks cannot let the public know they understand that climate change-driven collapse and chaos are coming. They would be blamed for it, and this would go directly against the profit interests of their primary financial funders. The hidden agenda of these think tanks is for their funders to continue to profit during the collapse and chaos. This will also keep them getting funded so they can secretly prepare their right-leaning think tank for collapse as well.

Many right-leaning think tanks' financial funders profited from creating the climate change emergency. Why shouldn't their owned right-leaning think tanks hide the accurate climate change information from the public so that their financial funders can continue to profit equally as well during the collapse of humanity?

There is also a large group of right-leaning think tanks funded by billionaires and industrialists who fully understand what is coming. Many of these billionaires have already prepared their survival bunkers worldwide, and some are also building escape spaceships. Only the poor, the ignorant, and those without power or ample resources will be caught in the worst of the climate change-driven consequences: chaos and extinction.

We also predict that the current US administration will censor new climate change research findings done with government resources and begin removing critical climate change information from government websites to make it appear that there is no such thing as climate change. Denying reality is a short-term strategy at best. Eventually, reality (truth) always wins, and the delay in denial causes even worse consequences.

Finally, no matter what the new US administration does, it cannot stop the near-continuous rise in food costs because of growing climate change caused by low crop yields and failures. Additionally, they will be unable to lower overall inflation or prevent inflation from rising further because the cost of climate change consequences damages will also increase dramatically during the next US administration. The recent unbudgeted LA wildfires alone could approach $500 billion in eventual recovery costs.

If you have read everything above about the many 2025 consequences of climate change, you are likely feeling unsettled. The good news is you now have a more accurate overview than 99,9999999% of the population about what individuals and businesses worldwide will be dealing with climate change damages, disruptions, costs, and consequences in 2025. More importantly, this knowledge will allow you to begin planning how to adapt to or prepare for what is coming. (Further down this page will be a link to information designed to help you adapt and prepare.)

How to protect yourself, your family, and your business from climate change consequences and losses 

Here is how you can prepare, adapt, survive, and help reduce the consequences of climate change and reap the many benefits humanity will reap if we fix the climate-heating emergency. There is a lot of bad news in the predictions above, but we can still do many things to slow down this extinction emergency and live longer, more comfortable lives.

A friend of Job One recently wrote about how his life changed in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada. "Up here in BC this year, we have had record heat for a record time, wildfires, rainfall, and once-in-a-century flooding. Climate change deniers are just not looking at what is right in front of their eyes."

(If you value what you are discovering, please share this page with your friends because much of this uncensored climate change information is actively being censored by the media and even by many environmental groups due to its highly unsettling nature.)

2025 Summary

1. You will see climate change getting worse and happening at an even faster pace. 

2. The 70+ climate change consequences above will increasingly consume your time and financial resources and reduce the quality of your life. 2025 will be a year of significantly increased climate-related stress and inconvenience. Daily personal and business routines will be disrupted or delayed more frequently. 

3. Accelerating climate change consequences will increasingly affect most of our lives in the following specific areas: 

heat, humidity, wind, rain and rain bombs, drought, extreme weather travel delays, increased airline flight turbulence, extreme cold and cold spells, snow bombs, wildfires and wildfire smoke events, food production, food prices, food distribution costs and availability, health, personal costs, regional infrastructure dependability, business costs, the environment, politics, miscellaneous, and the rapidly expanding climate change-related property and mortgage insurance crises for homes, businesses, and farms. 

4. In 2025, many of us will notice significant price spikes in food and other commodities and an increase in product shortages due to climate-related business and distribution disruptions and crop lower yields and failures. These food and cost problems will occur because of climate change-related extreme weather events.

5. Home and business owners will be continually hammered by rising annual electric bills and insurance rates. This will make homeownership for more individuals impossible and cause more businesses to go bankrupt.

6. As climate change consequences and disaster costs continue to escalate yearly, traditional market forces driven by rising insurance, rebuilding, repairing, and other climate change-related costs will eventually make continued political and personal climate change denial the ultimate lose/lose financial and political strategy. 

7. Many other climate change consequences will dramatically worsen in frequency, severity, and scale during this period. Click here for a master list of all the primary and secondary consequences of climate change.

8. The climate change emergency is worsening so quickly that in 2025, we also had to update our mission based on the reality of current climate conditions. Click here to see how we changed our mission.

There are many benefits that humanity will reap when we fix the climate change emergency

The above 2025 predictions can be disheartening, but many benefits are available if we work together and come close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. Please take the time to read these benefits to counterbalance all of the problematic news above. Then, go on to the next section that will help you make the needed changes, preparations, and adaptations.

Additional Important Climate Change information:

If our governments had enforced the fossil fuel reductions needed to avoid major climate disasters, we would not face the consequences that now confront us. 

If we come close to meeting the legitimate and radical 2025 global targets for the world's nations, we may still avoid many, but not all, of the worst consequences listed below. 

And, if we all work together to compel our governments and politicians to act  NOW!, we can still save much of humanity from great suffering, financial loss, and mass extinction.
