Prologue

If you have not read this Great Global Collapse page, we strongly recommend doing so before reading this Great Global Rebirth challenges page. Understanding this collapse process will provide a robust and comprehensive overview of the many consequences humanity must endure and manage before our climate change-influenced lives can improve. 

Also, if you have not read about the many benefits and processes of a possible Great Global Rebirth, first read this page, and then be sure to see this page! We know the preceding is a bit of lengthy preparatory reading. But, unless you can see the probabilities and relationships of the Great Global Collapse consequences to the possibilities of a Great Global Rebirth, the following benefits, analysis, and recommendations will be far less meaningful to you, and you might even be discouraged or upset by what you are about to read.

We have provided the following information because any honest analysis of our climate change future must illuminate not only the benefits of addressing climate change but also the challenges and negative consequences that would result if we fail.

 

Introduction

Humanity now faces a runaway global heating-fueled, highly probable Great Global Collapse, and the possibility of a Great Global Rebirth once we navigate the collapse cycle. But, after the Great Global Collapse occurs, the possibility of a Great Global Rebirth is far from being easily or quickly assured. 

In fact, for the hearty souls who decide to get prepared to survive the Great Global Collapse, the probability of success rate is less than one would think. Therefore, the remainder of this document will illuminate the significant challenges of achieving a Great Global Rebirth.

The good news here is that if we do not manage the runaway global heating emergency correctly, there is little doubt that the unstoppable forces of Mother Nature (the immutable laws of math and physics behind accelerating global heating) will fix the climate and global heating problem for us and save as much as 50% of the human population with some human intervention as well. Unfortunately, Mother Nature's solution will be a very painful and destructive medicine for humanity.

Why the possibility of a Great Global Rebirth soon after the Great Global Collapse is not guaranteed

1. We are already facing the extinction of half of humanity by mid-century due to the existing consequences of global warming that we can no longer avoid. We must come very close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets to prevent near-total extinction. Unfortunately, the numerous reasons outlined on this page will make achieving the 2025 global targets extremely challenging, if not nearly impossible, at this late date.

2. Individuals and their communities must first survive many severe consequences described in detail in the Great Global Collapse process on this page. 

3. Long before the worst global warming-related consequences run their full course, heading us toward near-total extinction, the world's nations may possibly initiate a traditional, nuclear, biological, or chemical World War III. This new global war is likely to occur because nations will desperately fight over the limited, climate change-resilient lands and other scarce resources.  

4. In the post-collapse chaos and confusion period of failed national governments no longer strong enough to maintain security, any survivors will have to deal with the toxic effects of compromised nuclear reactors, chemical weapons, and biological weapons, as well as any "leakage" from their manufacturing, service, and storage facilities. Hundreds of millions could sicken and die as unsecured and unsupervised nuclear reactors go critical and spew toxic radiation worldwide. Millions more could sicken as they die from the release of insecure biological weapons and toxic industrial chemicals. If too many nuclear reactors go critical and melt down, the radiation circling the planet will kill off all life within a few years of nuclear winter. 

5. Survivors will not only have to deal with a physically toxic environment. They will also have to deal with an emotionally and psychologically poisonous environment. Anyone who survives the Great Great Collapse and die-off will have experienced the greatest collective trauma in human history. The emotional and psychological stresses created by watching everything you love be destroyed, taken away, or die will significantly diminish the health and life spans of most post-collapse survivors. 

6. The survivors, after the Great Global Collapse process, will likely enter a global New Dark Age period. But, this will not be like the Dark Ages that occurred around the Middle Ages. Instead, it will be far worse. This is because most of the easy-to-access natural resources available during humanity's original Dark Age will already be depleted, and much of the planet will be toxic. 

This New Dark Age will likely last for many more decades, if not far more than a century. During this New Dark Age, living conditions for most of the planet will be brutal and most likely overseen by barbaric local warlords or clans. For a well-prepared, well-organized, and unified community of survivors to endure all of the above over greatly extended periods will be nothing short of miraculous!

And finally,

7. Even if survivors make it through the post-collapse and the New Dark Age, it will take centuries to thousands of years for our atmosphere and the Earth's natural systems to recover. Only then will the climate conditions suitable for more humans to thrive be present once again. 

We believe that to survive all of the above, at a minimum, survivors will need to be a part of a unique community that can help protect them and produce most of their needs. 

Survivors will also need a new corrective and healing worldview and set of values (not unlike the unique worldview and values found at www.UniverseSpirit.org) to have a deep enough science grounding and the progressive healthy spiritual "roots" to survive all they will need to endure.

 

 

Hopefully, if this post-collapse and post-New Dark Age is survivable, any surviving clans, tribes that still function will have learned the painful lessons of the Great Global Collapse. They will have changed their unsustainable and inequitable behaviors.

They will develop a new worldview and new economic, political, and social systems. This new worldview and its new systems will provide the essential tools and opportunities for a great new rebuilding, reboot, and rebirth of humanity. 

Some of humanity should survive all of the above challenges. In that case, humanity will genuinely have the opportunity to experience and create a unique second Renaissance, where both humankind and nature come back into balance. This new balance will allow both to flourish. If this happens, whatever is left of humanity will advance and improve humanity's great evolutionary adventure on Earth.

Fasten your seat belts. Strap on your shoulder harnesses and put on your helmets. We are entering the extreme turbulence of the beginning stages of the Great Global Collapse process.

What are reasonable life choices and planning options to consider with the probability of longer-term survival so challenging?

How do you plan your remaining life when looking at the high probability of increasing hardship, instability, chaos, sacrifice, and death for most, if not all, of humanity? The first thing we recommend doing is to consider the global warming-related consequences that are most likely to occur during the remainder of your life. 

The good news is that, depending on your current location, you do not need to panic! You still have numerous years to prepare and adapt to what is coming. All you have to do is decide how long you want to live in relative comfort and stability, and prepare accordingly.

Step 2: Review critical climate change action deadlines

The deadlines and timeframes for various intensities of climate change consequences by location continually evolve. Unfortunately, they are growing shorter in most cases.

Click here to go to our continuously updated climate change consequence timeframe management page for the most up-to-date deadline and timeframe information you will need to plan your climate change future.

We have moved these critical timeframes for runaway global heating to the members-only section of our website. 

We were compelled to do this to ensure that our self-funded, non-profit climate think tank has sufficient income to continue providing unbiased, non-partisan, and accurate climate analyses and predictions. 

With your annual member donation, you will also receive a $50 value of five climate-related ebooks and more. We also provide highly relevant emergency preparation, adaptation, and other relocation safety and risk-level information to support your choices and climate change timelines. It begins on this page.)

 

The "We-will-personally survive no matter what" delusions of ultra-wealthy individuals, corporate executives, politicians, and nations

No wealthy individual, corporation, or nation can successfully use its wealth to escape the escalating instability, chaos, collapse, and coming mass extinction!

As many of you may have read on our website so far, it is clear that we are in a no-win situation if we fail to meet the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. Yet, there are always those wealthy and arrogant individuals, corporations, and nations who will believe their vast wealth and power will somehow still insulate and save them from what is coming.

Despite wealthy individuals and corporations already buying land and facilities in safer northern countries, they will not be safe there either. The mass migrations of desperate, aggressive, and armed climate refugees and national armies will eventually overrun any safer nation's border security measures. These locked-out climagees will angrily take their share of what's left and severely punish anyone they even remotely believe had any significant part in letting this horrific global warming-related catastrophe occur either by commission or by failing to act (acts of omission).

Eventually, even the private security companies of the ultra-wealthy individuals and corporations hired to protect their secret compounds in the global warming safer zones will ultimately turn against their affluent bosses. They will realize they live in a new world where only firepower, brute strength, and military-style training determine an individual's or group's day-to-day survival, absolute ownership, and safety. 

Not unlike Holocaust survivors, climate change survivors will also relentlessly hunt down anyone they believe knew about the extinction emergency and had the influence or resources to address it but did not. Those individuals, corporations, and politicians will most certainly lose all of their financial and political power and resources in the massive globalized backlash of anger and punishment that will be directed exclusively at them. 

There will be no place on Earth or Swiss bank that will save them and their assets from what will be viewed by the survivors as justifiable punishment for their gross, global warming crimes against the survival of the whole of humanity.

Things will be even worse for wealthy corporations, individuals, or nations that act in ways to profit from the escalating global warming catastrophes, real estate or market crashes, and the unfolding 20 worst global warming consequences. When those wealthy individuals, corporate executives, or politicians are identified by enraged climate change survivors, all of their wealth will likely be removed or clawed back from their trusts, secret bank accounts, businesses (and even their heirs). It is also highly likely that such individuals, corporate executives, and politicians will be put into hard labor camps for the rest of their lives.

As you can see, there is no actual survival for the ultra-wealthy, big corporations, or wealthy nations if they continue to let this catastrophe unfold.

Additionally, please do not mistake that the Job One for Humanity organization promotes any form of illegal individual climate survivor or group vengeance against wealthy corporations, individuals, politicians, or nations in any way whatsoever or at any time! All we are disclosing here is that these are the most probable and natural reactions to anger among surviving individuals who have suffered unthinkable consequences and the pain of losing everyone and everything they have ever loved due to the greed and negligence of a few.

Our organization promotes and believes only in the peaceful execution of fair and equitable justice by impartial individuals, properly constructed courts, and the rule of law.

As an organization, we hold that what is happening now (allowing global warming to worsen to total extinction levels is ultimately a matter of ignorance. Of course, global warming is a complex concept to understand in the first place. Still, the chosen ignorance of prioritizing personal greed or excessive personal comfort over the common well-being of society as a whole exacerbates the challenge of solving this life-and-death issue.

We only mention these undesirable outcomes for those ultra-wealthy individuals, corporations, and politicians who intentionally exacerbate the situation or fail to act. We do it in the hope that through this educational warning, those wealthy individuals, corporations, politicians, and nations will wake up to the fact that this emergency is the ultimate no-win game, even for them. 

At some point, we hope that even the world's wealthiest individuals, corporations, and nations will recognize that their money and power won't save them from this monster. They will realize that we either work together or we die together.

We only hope that the ultra-wealthy do not discover this truth before it is too late to take action.
