Prologue

Job One for Humanity is a nonprofit climate change think tank and risk assessment organization founded in 2008. It is nonpartisan, 100% publicly funded, and uncensored by any government, corporation, or entity.

This website is for intelligent, mature, and rational individuals who rely on good science and accurate data to manage their lives and businesses. This website counterbalances and corrects the tremendous disinformation and misinformation campaign carried on by the global fossil fuel cartel over the last five decades concerning accurate climate change data. 

Our organization is currently focused on educating people about climate change emergency preparation, adaptation, resilience building, and, where necessary, migration, while also supporting all actions aimed at reducing global climate change. Our new focus on preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building stems from the fact that many of the serious consequences of climate change are now unavoidable due to a 60-year delay in addressing this emergency. Reading the rest of this page will inform you of the seriousness of those consequences and the short timelines involved.

"It is hard to admit or face, but humanity is already in the second phase of irreversible global warming, and humanity has already lost a major battle against climate change! It is now highly uncertain that we will be able to stabilize the climate for many decades to centuries and secure a safe, stable future for current and future generations. Losing this battle against climate change does not mean giving up or that we have lost the climate change war. There are many things we still need to do to adapt and save as much as possible.

Accordingly, it is now imperative that both individuals and businesses immediately begin their PLAN B climate change-related emergency preparations, adaptations, and climate change resilience-building, (or in some cases, start migrating, relocating, and executing what is being called by politicians a "Managed Retreat.") This way, regular citizens and businesses will have nearly the same chance to survive what is coming as the privileged ultra-wealthy billionaires, top executives of the multinational mega-corporations, and the political elite." Lawrence Wollersheim

Recent and continuous attacks on our non-profit educational organization

For four months, our organization has been under persistent hacking and spamming attacks, aimed at disrupting service to the thousands of people who visit our website daily. To counter persistent hacking and spamming, our organization has implemented some of the strictest security measures currently in use, both on our website and on our personal computers.

The goal of these hackers and spammers is to prevent you from accessing our uncensored climate change analysis and forecasts. Our climate change analysis and forecasts are disastrous for the income of fossil fuel-producing nations and the $30 trillion a year global fossil fuel cartel. 

Please note that our most up-to-date forecasts and timetables for climate change consequences are always available on this page.

 

Introduction

Job One presents independent, uncensored climate change facts, analysis, solutions, and timeframes for consequences to the world's citizens at no cost. It is part of a 30-year-old US IRS-recognized tax-exempt nonprofit organization.

While our website presents a wealth of information and a comprehensive, uncensored, and accurate view of our current climate change situation (including facts, consequences, timelines, and solutions), please do not think we have given up hope on this challenging task. There are numerous significant benefits that we can expect to receive when we address climate change. When you're done reading this page, be sure to read the following link first, then proceed to this next link, which will help you maintain the realistic hope and balance we will all need to overcome the climate challenge together. (The second article has been read by several million people.)

 

What Does Job One for Humanity Do?

Job One for Humanity educates about climate change, climate emergency preparedness, intelligent climate change adaptation, resilience-building, and identifying remaining locations for safer relocation due to climate change, including "managed retreat" and migration. Job One for Humanity also advances and supports climate emergency preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building by co-founding the ClimateSafevillages.org organization and through the Universe One project.

At Job One, we promise that our 100% publicly funded independent climate change think tank will always provide you with the complete and uncensored climate truth, including what many often do not want to hear about our current climate change emergency. Unfortunately, this climate information is the same painful climate change information you need to protect yourself and your future.  

Job One provides a "big picture" (holistic) overview of climate change and an uncensored DMAP (dialectical metasystemic analysis) of the many interconnected and interdependent climate systems and subsystems that contribute to our current climate change emergency. When proposing climate change solutions, the central principle is, "Are these solutions effective, practical, and good for the common well-being?"

Job One For Humanity is also active in researching climate change justice issues, particularly concerning helping victims of climate change get financial restitution from the global fossil fuel cartel perpetrators of the climate change emergency. Job One also maintains a list of worldwide law firms and lawsuits filed against the global fossil fuel cartel members for climate change damages.

Job One researches and presents mostly free, uncensored climate change information, analysis, solutions, and timeframes to the world's citizens. Job One for Humanity never accepts funding or donations from fossil fuel-related industries or businesses.

  

 

We believe every global citizen deserves access to the same uncensored information on climate change threats and risks, as developed by major national intelligence agencies. Every citizen should have access to the same climate information purchased at great expense by wealthy hedge funds, investment banks, and billionaires from specialty risk-analysis firms, but only at a cost that is affordable to anyone of average income! (Job One also provides special scholarship programs for those individuals  living at their national poverty level who cannot afford access to our climate information.)

Our climate analysis ensures that every citizen can protect themselves, their families, and their businesses equally, as well as those with the privileges of high-security governmental positions or great wealth. Unrestricted, unpoliticized, and uncensored knowledge of climate change risks and threats is critical for citizens to understand their real challenges and to wisely initiate survival-related emergency preparations, adaptations, or relocations for the coming avoidable and unavoidable climate catastrophes, wherever needed.

Our climate articles and climate emergency analysis are completely uninfluenced and uncensored by any political agenda, political party, or other financial or fossil fuel lobbyist intervention. Unlike other climate and environmental nonprofit educational organizations, we refuse to knowingly accept donations from fossil fuel lobbyists, producers, or industries that rely on fossil fuels, ensuring there are no possible conflicts of interest or even the appearance of one. 

Job One has received the highest Platinum trust rating for financial transparency from Guidestar, an independent organization that examines nonprofit organizations' financial and other actions.

Job One for Humanity provides science-grounded analysis of climate change consequences, timeframes, risk assessment, and solutions to executives at educational, climate, and environmental organizations worldwide at no charge. For insurance companies, governments, and businesses affected by climate change emergencies, we provide a fee-based climate analysis, risk assessment, and solutions service.

Job One For Humanity is an all-volunteer organization, with administrators, bookkeepers, climate change researchers, and analysts all volunteering their work to protect the cycle of life for current and future generations. Unresolved climate change is the mega-disruptor of the 21st century that can not only threaten the possibility of successful future generations, but also alter life for existing generations, making life on earth unbearable or impossible.

 

Our Challenging 2025 and Beyond Mission

The most straightforward and honest mission message Job One has for the world today about our ability to "fix" climate change and our climate future is:

"We are out of time! Our governments have missed the last window of opportunity to control our climate change future without causing massive human die-offs affecting about half of humanity by 2050. This out-of-time factor is due to:

1. Ongoing dirty tricks by the fossil fuel cartel,

2. Decades of gross underestimation of climate change consequences and timetables by the IPCC,

3. Garrett's Climate Change Dilemma, and

4. About 30 additional reasons found here.

All we can do now is prepare, adapt, and build resilience for the coming climate change catastrophe, while we radically cut global fossil fuel use, one way or another, and meet the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. If we are successful in radically cutting global fossil fuel use, we can still save much of humanity."

The following sums up our mission in a more expanded way:

Despite what you hear in the media and from the government, climate change is currently out of our effective control. Because of crossed climate change tipping points, feedback, loops, and non-linear reactions, we are currently in a state of irreversible global warming despite the press and your governments hiding this painful fact from you, your family, and your business.

Because of its already baked-in consequences and global warming momentum, climate change's horrible consequences will continue for many decades to centuries. Due to the escalating consequences, it is now likely that about 50% of humanity will perish by about 2050. (Please note this is a powerful and painful forecast. If you have any doubts about its reasonableness or scientific backing, please read this full analysis of why that 2050 forecast is valid.)

Therefore, the primary focus of our mission must be educating the public about:

a. climate change emergency preparation for the coming unavoidable consequences. 

b. climate change adaptation strategies, and

c. climate change resilience-building. (This resilience-building would also include preserving everything we can of the best of human civilization for the post-climate change emergency and post-global collapse times.)

d. Why our governments must meet the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. Otherwise, hardly anyone or anything will be left of humanity and our civilization by 2070.

e. our uncensored current climate change condition and our most probable climate change future consequences.

The above prepared, adapted, and resilience-building new 2025 mission focus is solely because resolving the accelerating climate change emergency for the foreseeable future has become highly improbable (for these 30 reasons), and catastrophic, soon-arriving change consequences are now unavoidable.

From Job One's executive director and senior analyst:

"When you realize that our governments have totally failed to control climate change (when it was still controllable,) and you understand accelerating global warming is now beyond our near-term control for centuries and --- that it is time to prepare for the many coming climate change catastrophes to minimize suffering and loss, Job One for Humanity (and our sister organization ClimateSafe Villages) is and will be there for you.

At Job One, you will find the information you need on climate change emergency preparation, adaptation, resilience-building, and recovery. At Job One, we never apologize for our uncensored, often painful, climate change facts and analysis. The stakes are far too high not to speak the truth about what is now being hidden from the global public." Lawrence Wollersheim

Our Relationship with the Universe Institute Think Tank

We have been in a collaborative relationship with the Universe Institute for over a decade on climate change issues. We are deeply grateful to the Universe Institute for introducing us to DMAP, the new dialectical metasystemic analysis and problem-solving methodology. Without the assistance of the Universe Institute and our use of the DMAP breakthrough, the uncensored climate change analysis, forecasts, and solutions you find on the Job One website would not have been possible.

 

An Important Explanation for Our Updated Mission and Goals

Our overall mission strategy is always based on working wholeheartedly toward the best possible climate outcomes while simultaneously being aware of and preparing for the worst possible climate outcomes.

In February of 2024, Job One For Humanity reviewed climate science and updated its position on climate change and the global heating emergency. It concluded that:

As a result of ignoring 60 years of valid scientific warnings and failing to resolve the climate change and rising global heating emergency, we have already locked ourselves into the initial phases of irreversible global warming and the unavoidable extinction of approximately half of humanity by mid-century. Mass human extinction is now inevitable and unavoidable because we have already gone over the irreversible global warming climate cliff when we reached the carbon 386 ppm level. Unfortunately, at our current carbon level of 427+ ppm, we are accelerating our own extinction because we will cross even more climate tipping points and amplify climate feedback loops more rapidly. 

The good news is that we can still save much of the other half of humanity, but only if we get close to reaching the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets as soon as possible. The even better news is that when we finally fix irreversible global warming, there will be many positive benefits and possibly a Great Global Rebirth. 

(The above is also our core message.)

The first mass extinction-level event, which is expected to affect approximately half of humanity by mid-century, will primarily result from mass starvation caused by climate change-related crop failures, low crop yields, and soaring food prices. It will also be caused by growing resource shortages and increasing regional and national conflicts as tens of millions of starving climate refugees seek new homes.

If humanity does not get close to achieving the required and radical 2025 global reductions in fossil fuel use (as described in detail on this global targets page), humanity will also face an even worse second extinction-level of near-total extinction beginning as soon as 2070. (Click here to discover why total human extinction is not realistic or probable, and the worst humanity could experience is near-total extinction (about 50 to 90+% of humanity going extinct.)

Accordingly, we have had to update our prior mission and goals due to the preceding and increasingly severe consequences of global climate change and global warming. Because the likelihood of meeting the 2025 global targets for reducing fossil fuel emissions is so low, part of our mission upgrade was to create a new Plan B for the irreversible global warming extinction emergency. 

With our new Plan B, while we are still working diligently on preventing near-total extinction, we have shifted a significant amount of our mission focus to also helping individuals, families, and businesses to become aware that they now need to start preparing themselves physically, emotionally, and psychologically for what can no longer be avoided; the extinction of about half of humanity by mid-century.

We are educating them on how to adapt to and build climate resilience (and other kinds of resilience) in their homes, businesses, and essential local, regional, and national systems. Our new Plan B reflects our upgraded mission and focuses on maximizing all possible human, biological, and ecological benefits within our current challenging and painful climate position.

 

About Your Role at Job One for Humanity

As a non-profit educational climate think tank, we provide unpoliticized, uncensored, and accurate climate research information and analysis. We are not information marketing people, in-the-street climate protestors, activists, or for-profit business managers. We are only climate researchers, analysts, and educators. 

Our role is climate research and analysis. This means that all website visitors, members, and volunteers must share the climate information and analysis they find on our website. If they do not, our uncensored climate information will not reach enough people to make a difference before it is too late. 

Without the hundreds of thousands of our annual visitors taking up their survival-critical role in distributing our climate change information and analysis, humanity has little hope of avoiding soon-arriving, near-total extinction climate catastrophes. So please do your part! 

Please actively and aggressively share and disseminate climate information and analysis on our website and, where appropriate, become climate activists to help us develop honest climate solutions. 

 

The Climate and Humanity's Future

Humanity's future depends on how quickly we can mitigate and alleviate the worst effects of the irreversible global warming extinction emergency. Our next 3 to 9 years will determine humanity's future viability and survival. (If you would like to see the analysis of many factors that brought us to the realization that, at best, climate change is only 3-9 years away (2025-2031) from going out of our control for centuries to millennia, click here.)

We understand that the above is a distressing and problematic climate update. However, the good news is that if our governments mass-mobilize and bring us close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, we will still be able to save as much as half of humanity. We will also be able to save many of our planet's beautiful plant and animal species, as well as other living systems. 

So, let's get busy and work together to save and salvage what we need to survive and what we dearly love.

(Please note: The above climate and irreversible global warming facts are currently being censored or altered by the actions of powerful fossil fuel industry lobbyists upon the media and our governments. Yet, widely visible climate and irreversible global warming consequences and current climate science-based predictions support the above statements' accuracy.)

The above-updated mission means that our primary organizational focus is to support and work with individuals and groups that are bravely facing our many unavoidable and severe global warming and environmental consequences, while at the same time, some of which are working to slow and lessen those consequences so we still have time to save and salvage as much of humanity and our civilization as we can. 

Global efforts to slow the accelerating climate change are going so poorly that our nonprofit organization has recently refocused its mission on serving individuals and groups seeking to adapt, survive, and thrive through the coming Great Global Collapse and the potential extinction of much of humanity.

The higher purpose of trying to adapt to and survive what is coming (beyond mere survival itself) is to learn the painful lessons from the causes of the Great Die-off and the Great Global Collapse, and use that wisdom to create a Great Global Rebirth for humanity's survivors. We are dedicated to doing everything possible to help individuals, groups, and their children navigate this long-term climate crisis, so they may eventually give birth to a sustainable, just, and equitable global society.

Since 2008, the Job One for Humanity nonprofit organization has been educating about the global warming extinction emergency. Some websites believe you are too weak to deal with the increasingly bad global warming news, or they dummy down their information so much that it is nearly useless. They act as if they did tell you the disheartening new research concerning the global warming emergency, you will not stick around to help, volunteer, or donate.

We will never do that. Our nonprofit educational organization will inform you about what few other global warming websites disclose.

We will always give you the most accurate and current science, no matter how painful.

We will make it understandable with lots of illustrations. 

We will always treat you as an adult who can deal with and manage the truth about our current global warming emergency. And,

Once you understand the science behind this emergency, you will do your part to help us fix or adapt to it.

Our website features easy-to-understand illustrations, descriptions, and documentation. Our website illuminates the "big picture" physics and math-determined interactions of the climate's many complex adaptive systems. 

 

Our think tank's leaning, position, or "bias"

All think tanks have open or hidden leanings, positions, or biases. These biases or leanings are almost always based directly on who is funding them, with the largest donations or subsidies.

There are conservative-leaning, progressive-leaning, evangelical-leaning, Jewish-leaning, and industry-specific think tanks. No matter what they publicly profess, think tanks always openly or secretly directly represent the interests of those funding them.

Because of this avoidable funding conflict of interest, all think tanks should be treated as highly biased toward their funders' needs and interests. Unethical think tanks have even been known to regularly alter or misrepresent facts to further their funders' financial, political, or religious interests.

100% public funding makes the Job One for Humanity think tank different from almost all other think tanks. Because we are 100% publicly funded, our bias or position is always to protect the universal best interests of the common good and the well-being of all humanity. This means you will find our uncensored climate change analysis, forecasts, and facts considerably different (and usually far worse) than those of other climate change, environmental, or other political or industrial think tanks with opaque, transparent, or hidden special interest large donor funding. (The average donation to Job One is about $25 US.)

In Job One, we protect only one special interest: humanity's well-being, good, and survival from and through the climate change emergency.

 

About Job One for Humanity and the Global Fossil Fuel Cartel

We have already experienced several attempts to infiltrate and undermine our organization and mission by agent provocateurs seeking to hinder our progress toward achieving it. The global fossil fuel conglomerate is the world's largest single industry, producing approximately one-third of the Earth's total gross domestic product, amounting to around $30 trillion annually.

They are very unhappy with us publishing uncensored climate change research and analysis, not to mention the required honest global fossil fuel reduction targets found here and the special Climate Justice Now section of our website that helps individuals get the support and connections they need to successfully sue fossil fuel companies for the climate change damages they have suffered.

The widespread, uncensored distribution of this climate analysis and solutions has led some individuals, organizations, and governments to realize they have been misled by previously fossil-fuel-influenced climate information. As an independent and uncensored climate change think tank funded 100% by the public, and with our climate analysis and research solutions distributed worldwide, we believe we have recently reached near the top of the fossil fuel industry's most disliked organizations. We consider that to be an honor.

 

Why uncensored climate change facts are so important in this time of ecological, social, political, and economic transition and turmoil

The Job One for Humanity climate think tank is one of the few places where you will get uncensored climate change facts. This is more important today than ever.

We are in the age when governments and corporations (or the media they control) that profit directly or indirectly from fossil fuels are using every means necessary to censor or block climate change data that could reduce their profits or power. Climate change scientists and researchers worldwide who have in the past spoken out with the actual facts of the climate change emergency have been vilified, doxed, harassed, fired, demoted, defunded, had their tenure removed, or sued into silence. These relentless attacks on honest individual climate change scientists and researchers who speak out have had a massive chilling effect on these individuals worldwide.

Worse yet, because of the billions of dollars spent on disinformation and manipulation of climate facts, most of humanity now believes the climate change fairytales being told by our governments and mass media that we are safe until 2100, that we are making progress, that climate change isn't a major problem, etc.

This means it's more important than ever that uncensored voices continue to speak the truth about climate change to power and anyone willing to listen. Job One is never censored by any government or corporation because we receive no funding from them. We are 100% funded by the public, with an average donation of around $25.

Another reason we continue to provide uncensored climate data to you is that you have the same right to this information as the privileged billionaires, the top executives of multinational megacorporations, and the political elite who are already building survival bunkers or planning how they will save their loved ones and wealth from the accelerating global nightmare of climate change. Why should their wealth give them privileged and exclusive access to survival-critical risk assessment information you can not afford?

At Job One, we provide almost all of the same climate change risk assessment information for free and some for the cost of a small tax-deductible donation, which helps keep us independent and 100% publicly funded. The good news is that our uncensored climate change information can help you, your family, and your business avoid unnecessary suffering and loss.

 

More About What Job One for Humanity Does

We work to achieve the best possible outcomes on climate change while preparing for its worst possible consequences. To do this, Job One offers information to understand the climate change emergency, how to prepare, adapt, and build resilience for it, and how to effectively fix it by providing:

Priority 1. Education on effective climate change emergency preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building solutions. Our climate change emergency preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building solutions will help individuals prepare for and lessen the impacts of many of our other 12 major global crises.

One meaningful way we educate and promote emergency preparation, climate change adaptation, and resilience-building is through ClimateSafe Villages, a nonprofit organization we helped co-found that partners with us in this work. Click here to learn more about ClimateSafe Villages.

Priority 2. Science-grounded, uncensored, and unpoliticized climate change causes, facts, tools, and analysis. (Click here for the most current climate facts.)

Priority 3. A science-grounded, realistic hope for our climate change future based on honestly facing our current conditions and using effective, prioritized, and deadline-driven remedial actions. 

Priority 4: Education on climate change justice and restitution for the victims of climate change by bringing effective lawsuits against the creators of the climate change emergency in what we call our Climate Justice Now program. This is the program we believe will be the most effective in saving as many people as possible.

Click here for a full explanation of our Climate Justice Now program, who is creating the climate change emergency, and how to get climate justice for climate change-related deaths and financial losses.

The widespread sharing of our uncensored climate analysis and solutions will help slow and ultimately prevent a near-total human extinction event. Individuals who discover and utilize our information will also need to take the following steps to preserve and protect as much human and biological life as possible from the primary and secondary consequences of climate change. They will need to:

1. Create a widespread and uncensored awareness of the current climate change emergency,

2. Create a widespread willingness to engage in an immediate and effective climate change remedial action plan within individuals, groups, businesses, and nations (our PLAN B).)

2a. This would also include educating about effective climate change justice and restitution for climate change victims by bringing lawsuits against the entities responsible for the climate change emergency. (Click here for a full explanation of who is creating the climate change emergency and how to get climate justice for climate change victims.)

3. Work toward minimizing climate change-related suffering and death while simultaneously maximizing the well-being of all human, biological, and ecological systems that we can do within our harsh current and future climate change conditions.

 

Our Audience

Our climate change materials are designed for researchers, environmental writers, and individuals with moderate to high knowledge of climate change. Climate change is a highly complex area because the climate is a complex adaptive system.

Individuals who lack training in system theory and complex adaptive systems, or DMAP (the dialectical metasystemic analysis and problem-solving methodology), and who struggle with complex, detailed information and following multiple consequence chains will have difficulty reading our materials. Individuals who are poorly educated or unfamiliar with the basic principles of climate change will have the greatest difficulty understanding the materials on our website. 

As of January 2025, our organization's mission focuses on empowering intelligent and informed individuals to recognize the steadily worsening climate patterns and to avoid unnecessary consequences of climate change.

Our organization does not try to convert climate deniers or educate those who are intentionally "unaware" of the worsening consequences of climate change. By the time climate deniers and those who are not paying attention to the climate catastrophes occurring right in front of them finally realize the climate change emergency, it will most likely be too late for them to prepare for the emergency or adapt to it.

With limited resources, we must be practical and focus primarily on those who are already well-informed, ready to hear our message, and willing to take action to protect themselves and others.

 

Job One for Humanity offers those interested in understanding the climate change emergency an opportunity to effectively fix it by providing:

1. uncensored and un-politicized climate change facts, tools, and analysis to manage climate change, and

2. a qualified and realistic hope based on honestly facing our current climate conditions and effective, prioritized, and deadline-driven remedial actions.

At Job One for Humanity, we strive to provide an honest account of the climate and human condition at this tenuous moment in history, one that does not give up on the obligation to act but also does not turn away from the inevitable grief when we confront our current condition and the structural limitations to fixing it.

At Job One, you are encouraged to enjoy and take advantage of our current climate stability level while working passionately with us to help address the accelerating climate change emergency.

 

 

How Job One for Humanity does its climate change analysis and projections

While we do not conduct original climate research in-house, we use published peer-reviewed research papers from independent and respected climate scientists, as well as climate research from organizations such as the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Many climate research papers and summary materials reviewed or used by this organization in its analysis, prediction, or recommendations are also found listed:

1. In this extensive but still partial master list of these related or relevant climate research papers and summaries.
2. In many available video presentations by climate scientists or researchers describing their research. Click here for an example in the video of the renowned climate scientist Kevin Anderson presenting the climate emergency at Oxford.
3. in the body of many of our web pages, links on those pages, or the endnotes or technical notes found at the end of many pages.

We provide our climate and global heating educational information to individuals and organizations, understanding that they will independently evaluate it and decide on its usefulness and accuracy based on the best available climate science and analysis.

As an organization, we speak climate truth to power and treat our visitors and members as adults who can process painful facts. We also candidly speak climate truth to power because there is no time left to hide or sugar-coat the facts surrounding the irreversible global warming emergency.

Our website pages offer a realistic, proportionate, and rational hope that we can still mitigate the climate crisis and save humanity from its worst extinction possibilities. We base this measured hope solely upon current climate science and advanced DMAP (dialectical metasystemic analysis and problem-solving) methodology. 

We are the only non-profit think tank telling the unvarnished truth about how severe the irreversible global warming and extinction emergency will become, and preparing individuals, businesses, and nations for the unavoidable, soon-arriving climate and global heating consequences.

All the remedial actions we recommend for irreversible global warming and climate change are provided on a self-motivated, self-organized, and self-directed Do-It-Yourself (DIY) basis. Although we will answer climate-related questions and provide encouragement through our member support system, you are responsible for sharing the available climate information and tools with others on this website. Responsibility for preparing, adapting, and taking remedial actions to address global heating, necessary to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your business from the consequences, remains exclusively with you.

 

 

How Our Research, Review, and Dialectical Meta-Systemic Analysis Processes are Unique 

Using the principles of system theory and DMAP (dialectical meta-systemic analysis and problem-solving) applied to the climate and global warming as a complex adaptive system composed of many systems and subsystems (ocean temperature and acidification, forests, soils, atmosphere, glaciers, sea ice, and ice shelves, ocean currents and the jet stream, tundra and snowpack conditions), we review and then analyze current and past climate change research and public climate summaries for:

1. Errors, 

2. Omissions, 

3. Previously unrecognized positive connections or negative patterns in or between climate studies and the climate's systems and subsystems,

4. Unseen interconnections or consequence connections within and between climate studies, and the climate's systems and subsystems,

5. The unseen or hidden politicization, censorship, or watering down of climate science by governmental agencies, other agents, or lobbyists in public climate summary reports. 

The problems outlined in 1-5 above can significantly impact the validity of current and future statements or positions regarding climate consequence timetables or the frequency, severity, and scale of climate consequences. Using system theory and DMAP applied to the climate as a complex adaptive system, we also review research papers and public statements on the climate for:

1. discernible or hidden biases, and

2. undeclared financial or other conflicts of interest.

The above two problems have become more prevalent and have resulted in significantly underestimated negative climate consequences in public climate summaries and statements. Climate think tanks, individuals or groups operating as unknown fossil fuel lobbyists, and climate researchers funded by the fossil fuel-related industries have become the biggest offenders in this area. 

Instead of our analyzing only one area of specialized climate studies like the oceans, glaciers, ice and snow packs, planetary temperature history, water vapor, soils, forests, or greenhouse gas factors on temperature and the atmosphere, we analyze climate research on how it holistically applies and interrelates to all different areas within and between the climate's interrelated, interconnected, and interdependent systems and subsystems. 

Using the tools of DMAP, we examine climate studies, their positions, and the related interactions of the climate system and subsystems through 28 different dialectical analysis perspectives and lenses. This enables us to recognize, consider, and appreciate natural or human responses that may arise in response to the various primary and secondary effects of climate change and global warming.

After conducting that extensive analysis, we make predictions regarding the severity of climate consequences, their time frames, and remedial recommendations for the optimal global fossil fuel reduction amounts to minimize human loss and suffering. Our final analysis, forecasts, and recommendations always include all necessary adjustments to compensate for any problems, errors, omissions, underestimations, or politicizations we discover in current climate research or summaries. Click here to see the many errors, underestimations, and politicization in leading and major recognized sources of global climate research and recommendations. 

Unlike many other climate change think tanks, we provide prioritized, critical-path, and deadline-driven solutions to the climate change emergency. These solutions are based upon accurate global fossil fuel reduction targets and avoiding the most dangerous climate tipping points and current climate feedback deadlines. 

Job One for Humanity is helping expose the intense politicization of climate science by the media, governments, and even the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This politicization critically underestimates our actual and current climate consequences, timeframes, remedies, and conditions.

Unexpectedly, our independent climate change analysis has turned us into reluctant whistleblowers exposing how popular and politicized climate data has been distorted to serve the hidden interests of those who gain financially (or in other ways) from the ongoing global use of fossil fuels and hiding the real danger the public faces from the irreversible global warming extinction emergency.

Please note that our education materials, because of their serious and adult nature, are not meant for adolescents under 16! 

 

Our prioritized educational and action goals for 2025 and beyond

A. educating about preparing for, adapting to, and building enhanced human and biological resilience to survive climate change's ongoing catastrophic or unavoidable consequences, while time remains to do so.

This preparation step also means it is time to educate humanity and prepare for the significant sacrifices we must make to meet the required global fossil fuel reduction targets. It is also time to start preparing humankind for the unimaginable and unavoidable suffering that will soon arrive. (The new ClimateSafe Villages will be especially helpful in completing this action step.)

while simultaneously working to prevent the worst consequences by educating individuals who will,

 

B. And if we do not get close to the survival-critical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, with the hope that a good portion of the human population will survive, we will educate:

1. to help younger individuals and families migrate from high-risk global heating areas to safer areas before it is too late to make these moves, (We forward the position that younger generations (X.Y Z, and A) who did not create or ignore the irreversible global warming extinction nightmare have a far greater right to occupy the remaining global heating safest lands and to survive longer.)

2. to help support building the Universe One CSV and many urban, rural, and virtual new ClimateSafe Villages (ecologically sustainable communities) worldwide for our younger generations that:

a. might also allow at least some small part of our younger generations to survive where they live, through the coming climate-change-propelled global collapse, extinction, and possible rebirth process and cycle. 

b. might learn from and apply the many hard lessons of irreversible global warming and the other ecological, economic, and political consequences that will happen to us because of the ultimate consequences of our current overconsuming, highly unsustainable, and inequitable lives. 

If survivors exist in these eco-communities, they and their eco-communities would serve as "beacons of light," modeling critical new ideas, values, and behaviors for an eventual Great Global Rebirth. To see what these new ideas, values, and behaviors might look like, click here and see Benefit 1.

(Please be aware that the continuous pain and suffering any survivors will go through is so immense and unimaginable that many survivors will wish they had died in the Great Global Collapse. For most, survival will be closer to a subsistence existence. Because surviving irreversible global warming will be a living hell, we must lessen that hell for survivors by getting as close to the 2025 globaluction targets as possible.)

3. To help our governments develop Plan B climate crisis management plans for addressing the sudden and massive loss of life and the unfolding social and economic chaos from now until mid-century, resulting from the unavoidable consequences of irreversible global heating. 

Because of our 60 years of inaction and ineffective action on the global heating emergency, the informative creative destruction that will occur as half the human population unavoidably goes extinct is unconscionable and the greatest horror in human history. Yet, it is also an equally powerful opportunity to create a better world and even a great global rebirth. (To learn more about the many benefits, improvements, and new societal values that could emerge for humanity from this unsought-after evolutionary challenge and opportunity, click here.)

 

C. compel our governments to work hard and continuously to radically cut global fossil fuel use to get close to the 2025 global targets to slow down irreversible global heating sufficiently so that we can avoid near-total human and biological extinction, and more of humanity can live a little longer and more securely. (We can no longer save half of humanity, but still have a chance to save much of humanity.) 

 

D. Educate about effective climate change justice and restitution for the victims of climate change by bringing lawsuits against the creators of the climate change emergency. (Click here for a full explanation of who is creating the climate change emergency and how to best get climate justice for climate change victims.)

 

 

Humanity's future depends on how quickly we can mitigate and alleviate the worst effects of the irreversible global heating extinction emergency. The following 3 to 6 years will determine humanity's future viability and survival rates. (If you would like to see the analysis of many factors that brought us to the realization that, at best, climate change is only 3-6 years away (2025-2031) from going out of our control for centuries to millennia, click here.)

We understand that the above is a distressing and problematic climate update. However, the good news is that if our governments mass-mobilize and bring us close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, we will still be able to save as much as half of humanity. We will also be able to save many of our planet's beautiful plant and animal species, as well as other living systems. 

So, let's get busy and work together to save and salvage what we need to survive and what we dearly love.

(Please note: The above climate and irreversible global heating facts are currently being censored or altered by the actions of powerful fossil fuel industry lobbyists upon the media and our governments. Yet, widely visible climate and irreversible global heating consequences and current climate science-based predictions support the above statements' accuracy.)

Important information about the validity and reliability of the climate science found on the Job One For Humanity website

The scientific method deals in probabilities, not certainties. This is especially true for predicting climate change, given the complexity of the factors that interact to shape the climate. While scientific findings on climate change necessarily include uncertainty, the process of deciding public policy to address climate change seeks certainty that science cannot provide.

In this situation, many concerned climate researchers and scientists urge the application of the precautionary principle. The precautionary principle asserts that policy-makers have a social responsibility to prevent public exposure to harm when scientific investigation has identified a plausible risk, even though there can be no assertion of certainty.

Climate science has shown we are beyond mere plausible risk with today's irreversible global heating emergency. Instead, we are now at probable to highly probable climate risk levels. Therefore, the precautionary principle must be applied and should've been used many decades ago.

Because climate science is constantly evolving and inherently uncertain, we continually update our climate analysis and conclusions as new research becomes available. Wherever possible, we present predictive information in data ranges (such as carbon levels of 425-450 ppm or temperature increases of 2 °C to 2.7 °C). We strive to present the most accurate picture of the climate that we believe is possible. However, as mentioned previously, no one can establish 100% scientific certainty about future phenomena. 

Therefore, we also maintain a wise and continual openness to scientific falsification. We invite our website visitors to form their own opinions about the usefulness and validity of our current climate analysis, conclusions, and remedial action steps. If you see any errors in our climate data, presentation, or predictions, please send your criticism and documentation to [email protected] for review.

We also acknowledge that due to the paucity of climate tipping point and climate feedback loop research, Job One for Humanity could be partially or even wholly wrong concerning any of its predictive climate analysis regarding future levels of average global temperature, atmospheric carbon, global warming consequences, global warming timetables, or correct global fossil fuel reduction targets.

We fully appreciate that the climate is a very complex adaptive system. Many unknowns remain about how it and its subsystems interact with each other and with other human, geological, and ecological systems outside the climate system. 

If you wish to challenge the factualness of anything on our website, please see this page for instructions on how to do so.

 

Our Advisory Board

We are an all-volunteer organization.

We are an all-volunteer organization, which is very rare these days. Our volunteers are independent and self-organizing. They are committed to fixing the climate and the global heating emergency before it is too late. 

Our organization's core is our climate think tank's climate analysts and researchers, who have volunteered their time. In many ways, we could be described as a unique, partially crowdsourced climate think tank. 

Our volunteers self-organize to handle a range of tasks, including climate research and analysis, social media management, marketing, research, event planning, and even accounting. Additionally, our volunteers continue to post on all the Climate Change Blogs, as they have done for years.

If you also think of our organization as an information-sharing platform, similar to Reddit or Facebook groups, you will have a good idea of how we communicate and share improvements in climate-related matters.  At Job One, passionate climate analysts, researchers, and activists meet online to collaborate, share observations, and discuss and share practical solutions. Then they go out to independently act upon their self-organized climate change educational or remedial projects. 

(Click here to see a profile of our members, volunteers, and the audience of curious visitors who will most benefit from our website.)

According to Google statistics, as of March 5, 2022, over the last five years, 4.5 million unique visitors have visited our website to review our independent, non-politicized climate and global heating analysis and research. Additionally, scores of Facebook climate change newsgroups regularly like and comment on our original climate analysis and climate emergency articles.

When we say we are an independent, non-profit organization, our independence stems from 100% public funding, with an average donation of $23. We never knowingly accept donations from organizations or individuals who actively profit from or advance the interests of the fossil fuel industry.

Our website has easy-to-understand illustrations, descriptions, and documentation. Our website illuminates the "big picture" physics and math-determined interactions of the climate's many complex adaptive systems. 

Our mission is to educate individuals and businesses on preparing for adapting to the many severe climate consequences we can no longer avoid! Our focus is on supporting and working with individuals, businesses, and groups that bravely face the severe consequences of climate change. At the same time, those groups are encouraged to actively work to slow and lessen those consequences so we still have time to save and salvage as much of humanity and our civilization as possible.

We are in a self-created climate nightmare. Our organization will always strive to create the maximum good possible within the dire climate and irreversible global heating situation we now face.

We will do everything we can to help individuals, businesses, and groups survive this long-term extinction and collapse threat so that, post-emergency, they might eventually be able to birth a sustainable, just, and equitable global society, what we call the Great Global Rebirth.

 

 

An Important Update to our Mission and Goals

Our overall mission strategy is always based on working wholeheartedly toward the best possible climate outcomes while being aware of and preparing for the worst possible climate outcomes.

In March of 2022, Job One For Humanity again reviewed the climate science and updated its position on climate change and the irreversible global heating emergency. It concluded that:

As a result of ignoring 60 years of valid scientific warnings and our failure to resolve the climate change and rising global heating emergency, we have already locked ourselves into the initial phases of irreversible global warming and the unavoidable extinction of approximately half of humanity by mid-century. Mass human extinction is now inevitable and unavoidable because we have already gone over the irreversible global heating climate cliff when we reached the carbon 386 ppm level. Unfortunately, at our current carbon level of 427 ppm and above, we are accelerating our own extinction because we will cross even more climate tipping points and amplify climate feedback loops at faster rates. 

The good news is that we can still save much of the other half of humanity, but only if we get close to reaching the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets as soon as possible. The even better news is that when we finally fix irreversible global heating, there will be many positive benefits and possibly a Great Global Rebirth. 

The first mass extinction-level event, expected to affect approximately half of humanity by mid-century, will primarily result from mass starvation caused by climate change-related crop failures, low crop yields, and soaring food prices. It will also be caused by growing resource shortages and increasing regional and national conflicts as tens of millions of starving climate refugees seek to find new homes.

If humanity does not achieve the required and radical global reductions in fossil fuel use (as described in detail on this global targets page), humanity will also face an even worse second extinction-level of near-total extinction, beginning as soon as 2070. (Click here to discover why total human extinction is not realistic or probable, and the worst humanity could experience is near-total extinction (about 50 to 90+% of humanity going extinct.)

Accordingly, we have had to update our prior mission and goals due to the preceding and increasingly severe consequences of global climate change and global heating. Because the likelihood of coming close to the 2025 global targets for fossil fuel reduction is so low, part of our mission upgrade was to create a new Plan B for the irreversible global heating extinction emergency. 

With our new Plan B, while we are still working diligently on preventing near-total extinction, we have shifted a significant amount of our mission focus to also helping individuals, families, and businesses to become aware that they now need to start preparing themselves physically, emotionally, and psychologically for what can no longer be avoided; the extinction of about half of humanity by mid-century.

We are helping them adapt and build climate resilience (and other types of resilience) in their homes, businesses, and essential local, regional, and national systems. Our new Plan B reflects our upgraded mission and focuses on maximizing all the possible human, biological, and ecological good within our challenging and painful current climate position by:

A. preparing for, adapting to, and building enhanced human and biological resilience to survive climate change's ongoing catastrophic or unavoidable consequences while time remains.

This preparation step also means it is time to educate humanity and prepare for the significant sacrifices we must make to meet the required, honest global targets for reducing fossil fuel emissions. It is also time to start preparing humankind for the unimaginable and unavoidable suffering that will soon arrive.  

while simultaneously working to prevent the worst consequences by,

B. pressing our governments hard and continuously to enforce radically cutting global fossil fuel use to get close to the 2025 global targets to slow down irreversible global heating sufficiently so that we can avoid near-total human and biological extinction, and more of humanity can live a little longer and more securely. (We can no longer save half of humanity, but still have a chance to save much of humanity.)

C. pressing our governments for the creation of effective global climate governance that has the power to make effective global climate law with the ability to verify, enforce, and punish violators. Without effective global climate governance, we will never be able to at least:

1. Slow down the current climate-driven extinction and collapse,

2. Manage the coming and now unavoidable climate-driven population collapse and sudden global decline, and 

3. Wisely and equitably create and manage recovery processes following the post-global heating collapse.  

But first and foremost, we must quickly compel our governments to establish effective global climate governance that has the authority to create and enforce effective global climate laws, as well as the ability to verify, enforce, and punish violators. Without this empowered global governance mechanism, we can not adequately reduce the climate risks and threats to minimize the effects of near-total extinction.

The irreversible global heating is a global emergency that can only be fixed globally. If we do not get this global climate governance working soon, humanity will suffer far more than ever needed and worse than can be imagined.  

D. And, if we do not get close to the survival-critical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, with the hope that a good portion of the human population will survive, we:

1. Help younger individuals and families migrate from high-risk global heating areas to safer areas before it is too late to make these moves. (We forward the position that younger generations (X, Y, Z, and A) who did not create or ignore the irreversible global heating extinction nightmare have a far greater right to occupy the remaining global heating safest lands and to survive longer.)

2. support building many urban and rural new ecologically sustainable communities worldwide for our younger generations that:

a. might also allow at least some small part of our younger generations to survive where they are currently living, through the coming climate-change-propelled global collapse, extinction, and possible rebirth process and cycle, 

b. might learn from and apply the many hard lessons of irreversible global heating and the other ecological, economic, and political consequences that will happen to us because of the ultimate consequences of our current overconsuming, highly unsustainable, and inequitable lives.

If survivors exist in these Universe One/CSV eco-communities, they and their eco-communities would serve as "beacons of light" modeling the critical new ideas, values, and behaviors for an eventual Great Global Rebirth. To see what these new ideas, values, and behaviors might look like, click here and see Benefit 1. (Click Here to learn more about these new eco-communities.) 

(Please be aware that the continuous pain and suffering any survivors will go through is so immense and unimaginable that many survivors will wish they had died in the Great Global Collapse. For most, survival will be closer to a subsistence existence. Because surviving irreversible global heating will be a living hell, we must also lessen that hell for survivors by getting as close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets as is possible.)

3. Help our governments develop crisis plans for managing the sudden and massive loss of life and unfolding social and economic chaos from now until mid-century due to the unavoidable irreversible global heating consequences. 

Because of our 60 years of inaction and ineffective action on the global heating emergency, the informative creative destruction that will occur as half the human population unavoidably goes extinct is unconscionable and the greatest horror in human history. Yet, it is also an equally powerful opportunity to create a better world and even a great global rebirth.

We do not test, recommend, promote, or sell climate change-related products.

Job One for Humanity does not test, recommend, promote, or sell climate change mechanical products of any kind! Instead, we are a climate change think tank. For our climate change analysis work, we review published climate change-related studies or other reliably sourced, science-grounded climate data that illuminates some result or problem related to the climate change extinction emergency.

We are not just facing climate catastrophes. We are facing a massive climate change consequence-driven human extinction (possibly even most of humanity).

We created a four-part climate change solution plan to address this more profound mass extinction truth. Please review all four parts of our plan and let us know if you think we are missing anything.

Are you sad, upset, depressed, angry, or anxious about the climate change emergency?

There is a lot of horrible news to digest about global warming. Any person who realizes that our governments are not doing enough to save us from unthinkable suffering and loss will naturally experience sadness, anger, depression, or significant anxiety.

The Job One for Humanity staff has also had to digest all the dreadful news about global warming. To help our team through it emotionally, we learned about the Kubler-Ross model of change. This emotional management model helped our team cope with the challenging emotions evoked by today's news about global warming. 

We felt it was irresponsible to leave our readers without some of these tools to manage the intense feelings that the climate change emergency can create. Accordingly, we are providing the following images and tools to help you come to terms with the emotional realities of global warming. Here's how these global warming-caused emotional reactions, transitions, and healings usually look for most people:

1. If you're like most people, what you have learned about the climate change emergency will initially cause you to react with denial and shock. 

 

2. If you have the tenacity to explore more concerning how bad our governments have let global warming become, you will likely also become frustrated and angry at "how our politicians and governments could ever allow this to happen.

3. If you continue examining the facts of the global warming emergency and its solutions, you will most likely enter into a bargaining process to find a way to deal with such disturbing and disruptive information about your life and future.

4. If you continue verifying the facts of the climate change emergency as well as its honest but difficult and painful solutions, you will most likely next enter into a transitional feeling of grief or depression. 

5. As you work your way through your grief or depression, you will eventually come to a level of acceptance of what is scientifically accurate. (Even though it is currently being suppressed by the fossil fuel industry, mass media, and the politicians owned by the fossil fuel industry.)

A bit more about the Kubler-Ross Model, the emotional management model

The five primary emotional transition levels above are vital parts of the Kubler-Ross model. Over time, this model has proven to be a valuable tool for addressing the global warming denial, anger, fear, grief, or anxiety that any healthy person would experience upon truly realizing the current state of our global warming emergency.

The Kubler-Ross model is used to help people cope with the medical news that they are going to die, but it still has powerful relevance here.

This is true because you will likely go through these five emotional phases repeatedly as you grapple with the new realities of global warming. You will do this in numerous waves until you finally reach a profound and deeply stable state of acceptance, peace, and, hopefully, motivation to do whatever you can to mitigate this threat.

When you finally realize the seriousness of our climate change emergency, the emotional toll is real. If you don't believe us, please click here to read about a new report called, The Psychological Effects of Global Warming on the United States and Why the U.S. Mental Health Care System Is Not Adequately Prepared.

Reaching the necessary emotional acceptance and getting into action

Once you reach a level of emotional acceptance of what you have learned about the climate change emergency, you will be more willing and ready to explore new ways to address it. You will also be better prepared to make new decisions on adapting and integrating this critical information into your life and business. 

You may begin emergency preparations for the unavoidable consequences of global warming. This will better enable you to protect yourself, your family, and your business and wisely maximize your chances of staying out of harm's way.

Once one reaches the critical state of emotional acceptance of the reality of what one is facing, most mature adults do as they have done for millennia. They accept what they cannot change and start finding ways to adapt to it. (There are also many adaptation steps in the Job One Plan.) They also accept the bad news and get busy working on whatever they can to change and improve it. (In this case, they get active on the Job One Plan action steps.) 

We at Job One have found that the best way to help minimize emotional pain and trauma is to get busy completing the action steps of the Job One Plan. This is true even if you have not fully reached the acceptance level of your emotional recovery. The Job One Plan's many action steps proactively focus your attention on what can still be done. This focus on the necessary action also doesn't allow you to dwell on the negatives (if they have served their purpose of redirecting you to take action on the more profound truths of this emergency).

Therapy or support groups can also help you work through the painful realization that humanity is facing its worst existential crisis in history and that we have little time left (until 2025) to prevent mass extinction effectively. Therapy or support groups can also help motivate you to take action on the various steps outlined in the Job One Plan.

As you continue to understand the scale of our climate change emergency, you may also realize that our lives and our children's lives will be far shorter than we ever imagined. However, that can still be changed if we respond immediately to the challenge of drastically reducing our global fossil fuel usage to meet the 2025 targets.

One last emotional recovery tip 

Not everything about our global warming extinction emergency is emotionally disheartening. There are many surprising benefits to this emergency. Click here to read our website's single most-read page on these many benefits. At Job One, we review this list regularly to maintain the mental well-being of our staff. We also discovered that regularly reviewing this list of good news and benefits was critical to keeping our volunteers on mission and motivating them. 

Additionally

Because most of you who have understood the previous facts (that do not fall into a defensive denial) will naturally and appropriately feel shocked, sad, angry, or even betrayed, the most logical and best thing to do to deal with those often overwhelming feelings is to work for "the best". At the same time, you prepare for "the worst," just in case we fail. What this means is that you will need to focus as much of your energy and resources on just two main action strategies:

a. Get busy getting the 2025 reduction targets met by getting our governments to enact and enforce the laws needed to reach the 2025 targets. (Click here to learn what you need to know to get started on this.) and,

b. Get busy with emergency preparations and adaptations for you, your family, and/or your business for many of the now unavoidable consequences that will arrive soon. (Click here to begin this process.)

These two action-based strategies will help minimize the natural feelings of shock, sadness, anger, or complete betrayal by our current world leaders until you can get additional emotional support from other sources or work through the above Kubler-Ross model.

No matter what, and despite all of the challenges and bad outcomes that are possible, the core constant truth for the best possible global warming outcome for humanity is that:

a. The faster and more we reduce global fossil fuel use, the more people will survive to carry on humanity. 

b. The faster and more we reduce global fossil fuel use, the less future generations will suffer from an ever-increasing sequence of escalating global warming catastrophes.

Please sign the global warming extinction emergency petition to help us meet the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction goals.
