  • Level One - Step Six: Make wise commitments to help resolve global warming

    If you understand the urgency of resolving the global warming emergency and the logic of the Job One Plan goals to prevent us from crossing any of the global warming tipping points, you are ready to make an important decision to take this pledge for your life and our future.

    That simple decision and commitment is: 

    • I will become an active part of the global warming solution. I will work effectively with others to slow and lessen warming and stay the course until we eventually resolve it.

    • I will do my part to educate my friends and others about the global warming emergency and its solution.

    This proactive decision and commitment should not be entered into lightly but considered in a careful and thorough manner. Please take a moment to reflect upon this important decision and pledge.

    Studies show 87% of humanity feels disconnected from their true calling and meaningful and purposeful work. If we want a future, Job One may be the most meaningful individual and collective work you can be involved in in this century.

    If you make this commitment, decision and pledge, It will change your life for the better. It will also release powers, potentials, and opportunities that simply would not have appeared to you had you not made that decision and committed to put it into action.

    “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!”  --- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

    If you have not already read the detailed science about the urgency for why we need to immediately declare a global warming State of Emergency, please go to the: Global Warming State of Emergency Summary.

    Please read and sign this pledge now.

    I Pledge to Resolve Global Warming

    I understand the urgency of resolving the escalating global warming emergency. I am ready to make important commitments to do what I can to be an active part of the global warming solution.

    • I will work to promote a transition globally to 100% renewable green energy by 2030

    • I will do my part to educate my friends and others about the global warming emergency and its solution.

    • I will use the the Job One for Humanity Plan to guide me into the most meaningful individual and collective work I can do to lessen the global warming crisis.

    • I will work with others to slow and lessen global warming and stay the course until we eventually resolve it.

    • Once the current  global warming emergency has been eliminated, I will be a part of a global warming temperature maintenance program to get atmospheric toxic carbon pollution in parts per million (ppm) back down to the safe, long-term temperature and climate stability maintenance level of atmospheric carbon 325 to 350 ppm.

    I understand that by making these commitments, it will likely change my life for the better. It may release powers, potentials, and opportunities that simply would not have appeared had I not made this decision and commitment.

    I now choose to commit myself to this worthy adventure and work to be an active part of the global warming solution.

  • signed Divest From Fossil Fuels Pledge 2016-06-10 12:48:54 -0700

    Divest out of fossil fuels pledge

    Divesting from all fossil fuels and moving fully to green energy generation is critical to our survival.

    377 signatures

    In order to stop escalating global warming and climate change emergency, I pledge I will divest out of all of my holdings in the dead-end fossil fuel industry. I will then do everything within my zone of influence to convince others to do the same. I will work toward convincing other individuals, businesses, pension funds, endowments, and national governments to also divest out of the dying fossil fuel industry as soon as possible.

    Sign Below Now

    Why Divest?

    1. Money is real influential power! Money talks and it talks effectively! One very strong way to convince our governments and the power elite that the age of fossil fuels is over and the age of green energy generation is here is to pull all financial support and subsidies from the fossil fuels industry as soon as possible.

    2. Personally divesting from all fossil fuel holdings helps us keep fossil fuels in the ground and is one of the more effective personal action steps in the Job One for Humanity Climate Restabilization Plan.

    3. The fossil fuel industry is a bad investment. Other than for limited use in the future for the military, air travel, space exploration, and other limited applications, the age of fossil fuel has already ended. No individuals or organizations will want to invest in an industry with its subsidies being removed, its profits being taxed at increasing rates, and growing legal liability to restore damage done to the environment over the last 130 years. Get out before you get caught since there is little future left for fossil fuel energy on a planet that has to move rapidly to green energy generation.

    "Money does not just talk, it screams influence and power. If you want to see a change happen fast, properly incentivize it with strong monetary rewards or penalize it by removing its profit."               — Lawrence Wollersheim

    Evolve.org and Barbara Marx Hubbard take seriously the global warming emergency and they are working on effective responses that meet the scope, scale, and urgency of this crisis. Evolve.org and Barbara Marx Hubbard are promoting signing the petition below in partnership with Job one for Humanity.

    Add Your Signature Below

    We, the citizens of our nation and of our Earth, are endowed with certain rights, powers, and obligations, which demand we act both individually and collectively to protect and preserve the ongoing evolution of life on Earth, including our future generations.

    Based upon a preponderance of scientific evidence we recognize our global climate is rapidly warming and becoming increasingly unstable due to human-caused carbon pollution from the burning of fossil fuels. If we do not change course before global warming tipping points are crossed, this destabilization of our climate  will continue to cause ever-increasing suffering and potentially irreversible devastation for both current and future generations. If left unresolved, it could cause the extinction, or near extinction, of the human species.

    We further recognize that rapidly escalating global warming and its consequent climate destabilization is the greatest currently active threat to the security of all nations, comparable in scope of impact to global nuclear war. Escalating average global temperature rises will lead to destabilization affecting first millions, then billions of people forced to deal with ongoing climate catastrophes, food and other resource depletion, and mass migrations.

    Nearly all of the major problems our world faces today worsen and multiply due to escalating global warming. All of the ecological, economic and political problems listed below will cross-intensify and therefore worsen as average global temperatures rises. 

    • Food and resource depletion
    • Severe droughts, floods, and wildfires
    • Rising sea levels
    • Water pollution and water table loss
    • Desertification and deforestation
    • Ocean fish stock depletions
    • Growing economic inequity, poverty, and instability
    • Political instability and injustice
    • War and regional conflicts
    • Increasing potential of pandemics and other health crises

    Despite 30 years of education, study, and discussion about the possible irreversible effects of human-caused carbon and methane pollution of our atmosphere, global warming temperatures have escalated to levels that may have already passed or be close to passing global warming tipping points with impacts that are irreversible. We must immediately reverse the continued rise of average global temperature by decreasing human-caused production of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels.

    Failure to resolve global warming for ourselves and future generations is simply not a survivable option.

    As global citizens of every nation on Earth, we ask you, our national leaders, to initiate the necessary steps to formally declare a national and international global warming State of Emergency, calling for the immediate allocation of the needed research, resources, personnel, and interventions to quickly resolve this State of Emergency and sustainably protect, preserve, and advance the continued evolution of humanity and life on Earth.

    Because of the endless bad news that you are hearing in the media on escalating global warming and its consequent climate destabilization, it should not come as a complete shock that we are currently in an undeclared global state of climate emergency. It is now vital to have the world publicly declare that we are in such an emergency. 

    If you are uncertain in any way about either why it is critical to declare this emergency, or why all the urgency for this public declaration, click here. This document provides all the science and other reasons why this needs to happen now...

    There are important reasons for a public declaration of a global warming state of emergency. Having this become a formal national and international declaration puts those in power on notice that they are responsible to begin allocating resources for resolving escalating global warming. It also puts those in power on notice that they are fully responsible for making and enforcing necessary new global warming reduction laws on a priority basis.

    The following is Job One’s declaration of a global warming state of emergency. We ask you to read it, sign it, and then forward to everyone you know, particularly other nonprofit organizations concerned about the climate.

    As global citizens of every nation on Earth, we ask you, our national leaders, to initiate the necessary steps to formally declare a national and international global warming State of Emergency, calling for the immediate allocation of the needed research, resources, personnel, and interventions to quickly resolve this State of Emergency and sustainably protect, preserve, and advance the continued evolution of humanity and life on Earth.  

    By signing this petition now, I pledge to act together with others as one human family to acknowledge and resolve the escalating global warming-caused climate destabilization crisis.
