It is critical to stop using the fossil fuel conflict-of-interest ridden and 30-60% grossly underestimated IPPC Climate Change summary Reports. We also need to turn all IPCC COP climate conferences into an climate change "wake up" global education event by doing the following:

A. demanding that the IPCC use the correct climate sensitivity amount and immediately redo all of its 30-60% underestimated climate change consequence severity and timeframe calculations and its global fossil fuel reduction calculations and target dates. (For verification on the decades long 30-60% gross underestimation of climate consequence severity and timelines and correct global fossil fuel reduction amounts required by the IPCC see this page and its climate research and links.)

For decades, the IPCC has been using a fossil fuel-favoring grossly underestimated climate sensitivity amount. See this article for a full explanation of why this climate sensitivity underestimation by the IPCC is so critical to your future survival, and why new IPCC summary reports must be re-calculated with the correct climate sensitivity amount and reissued immediately! And,

The IPCC gross underestimation of climate sensitivity in its summary reports has some powerful immediate impacts:

1. The world's citizens, governments, corporations, and media must demand that the IPCC's latest climate change summary report is immediately re-done and re-issued using the correct climate sensitivity constant, that all other known errors and omissions are also fixed, and that all fossil fuel favorable conflicts of interest are removed. Until this corrected new climate change summary report is issued, we strongly recommend discounting everything in the existing uncorrected report by 60%.

This IPCC underestimation crisis means that IPCC-predicted climate consequences can be viewed as being 60% worse than we are being told and will arrive 60% sooner than the IPCC has predicted. This underestimation crisis also means that the IPPC calculations for global fossil fuel calculations are 60% too little and must be achieved 60% sooner than the current IPCC fossil fuel reduction deadlines.(Please see this page, which summarizes the many decades of severe IPCC underestimation issues, critical calculation issues and omissions, and other IPCC methods to "cook" and distort the climate change calculations to allow the global fossil fuel cartel to continue selling even more fossil fuel amounts and avoid meaningful government regulations to reduce global fossil fuel use.)

If the IPCC does not immediately re-issue corrected climate change summary reports resolving its known conflict of interest, underestimation, and other issues, then the IPCC must be bypassed and discarded as a credible, trusted source of climate change information. Then, to get honest climate information to corporations, governments, the media, and the world's citizens, a new climate change research authority must be created independent of all fossil fuel or governmental conflicts of interest.

2. Because the IPCC's Climate Change Summary Reports have been widely, conclusively, and repeatedly shown by numerous peer-reviewed climate studies to be grossly underestimated by 60% and additionally politically compromised by fossil fuel interests having undue influence over the IPCC, any corporation or government who has used (or continues to use) the IPCC's Climate Change Summary Reports has a severe legal liability exposure in any climate change risk disclosures used in any of their purchase agreements, insurance policies, investment disclosures, or anywhere else their legal or agency documents discuss climate changes consequence risks. For example, this new liability exposure applies to zoning agencies that have issued future flood plain ratings based on IPCC Summary Report predictions. 

This now means that all corporations and governments that used the IPCC's Climate Change Summary Reports in any of their risk disclosures for property purchases, insurance, investments, etc, must immediately update those disclosures with notices to their clients of the correct new levels of climate risk based on the corrected climate change consequence calculations that are not underestimated by 60%. This climate change-related risk and disclosure update may not shield the corporations and governments from past climate change consequence liabilities because, proper due diligence by their chief executives and law firms should have discovered the well-documented and widespread prior challenges to the inaccuracy of IPCC's Summary Reports by the climate change science community.

B. There are many more gross calculation and science problems with the IPPC's climate change summary reports. See this page, and you will never see the fossil fuel-favored work of the work of the IPCC in the same light ever again.

Last updated 3.14.24.

There is one climate change fact that will change everything you currently believe about climate change consequences, timetables, progress, and solutions.

Let's face it. It is hard to hear uncensored, accurate climate change facts if one has been hearing distorted climate facts and falsehoods from the media (and others) for decades. Without uncovering and facing these past distortions and deceptions, the required openness to new information is difficult to attain. 

There is no easy, gradual way to do this other than to plunge you directly into an immense climate change fact hidden from you and why it was hidden. 

The climate change pre-fact needed to understand climate facts coming from any climate change research and analysis source is that: 

The global fossil fuel cartel IS the invisible, dominant hand that has distorted, underestimated, and unduly influenced the accuracy of almost all of the climate change information that you have been receiving for decades and currently are receiving from:

a. the media, 

b. your government,

c. the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (the IPCC,) the so-called world authority on climate change, and

d. almost all significant environmental and climate change educational groups. (These groups still use the IPCC's periodic climate change summary reports to educate their members despite the ever-growing scientific acknowledgment of gross underestimation, critical climate calculation errors, calculation integrity distortions, and other conflict-of-interest problems within the IPCC's summary reports. (Click here for a detailed history of IPCC summary report problems.)

The hidden global fossil fuel cartel's climate change disinformation, climate change censorship, and other coercive influence actions are the primary underlying reasons our governments and politicians have not fixed the climate change emergency over the last sixty-plus years. 

As shocking as it is to realize and accept, for decades, humanity has been subjected to a massive, multi-billion dollar global climate change disinformation campaign. This climate change disinformation has deceptively conditioned and qualified almost everything most people know about climate change today.

For humanity to ever be able to fix climate change, it must first strip away the distorted and false facts of the cartel's disinformation campaigns. It is helpful to recall some history everyone knows to be true to help you with this and open your mind to begin to see the profit-driven, hidden, and invisible global fossil fuel cartel's hand that censors and distorts almost all climate change information you are receiving. 

The global cigarette industry has a proven record of ten decades of successful misinformation, disinformation, false cigarette health risk studies, and funding of "independent" think tanks to produce questionable research saying smoking was not dangerous. The cigarette industry also has an extensive public record of engaging in many undue influence and government regulation delaying tactics. 

Like the cigarette industry's tactics, the far better-funded global fossil fuel cartel's disinformation, regulation-delaying practices, and other tactics have successfully kept uncensored climate change facts and accurate climate change consequence severity, timeframes, and climate change solutions from you, your government, and the media for over six decades! 

Does that statement seem not possible?

For decades, the global cigarette industry convinced the world's politicians and citizens that cigarettes did not cause lung cancer, health problems, or death with only a fraction of the global fossil fuel cartel's 28 trillion dollar-a-year income. 

The following are the continuous, super well-funded, and mostly hidden cartel climate change disinformation actions that have blinded the public and paralyzed our politicians over the last 40+ years:

1. Global disinformation campaigns to make the global public believe we are making regular or steady progress in fixing climate change in a way that prevents worldwide catastrophe when we are not! The cartel believes it can confuse you so much that you will not accept what your eyes see in the increasingly extreme weather. Worse yet, unless you stop the cartel, you will see far more cartel disinformation telling you the world is safe and is making the steady and necessary progress in fixing climate change, the worse climate change consequences get.

The graph below shows the story of the three primary toxic fossil fuel-burning atmospheric greenhouse gases: carbon (CO2), methane (CH4), and Nitrous Oxide (N2O). The numbers at the bottom of the illustration are the AD dates in history. The IPCC is the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. AR6 is the IPCC's climate summary report. NOAA is the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. PPB is parts per billion. PPM is parts per million.

Please notice how fast greenhouse gases have risen in the vertical rectangles on the right. Also, around 1800 AD, greenhouse gases began to increase far beyond any earlier levels in human history. About 1800 AD was the beginning of the fossil fuel-burning industrial revolution. Particularly, notice how, from about 1950 to 1980, the rates of toxic, poisonous greenhouse gases entering our atmosphere began rising exponentially. 

2. Global disinformation campaigns by funding or covertly influencing generally recognized authorities, think tanks, and opinion leaders to continuously create and spread cleverly designed and well-hidden false climate change information, doubts, or confusion about the actual causes, consequences, progress, timetables, and correct solutions surrounding climate change and the damages the fossil fuel cartel's products produce. (And, of course, without looking like this false and misleading climate change information is coming directly from the global fossil fuel cartel-funded entities.)

The world's biggest, most compromised, and trusted climate change "authority" is the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). But it is not the thousands of honest climate scientists who submit their unaltered climate research that produces the IPCC's climate change summary report distortions, illusions, and gross underestimation of climate consequences, timetables, progress, and correct solutions. 

It is the senior IPCC administrators and bureaucrats who assemble and create the final climate change summary reports who are editing, changing, and twisting the climate change facts and calculations and what is allowed to be said about climate change in these reports that is the real problem. These politically appointed senior IPCC administrators and bureaucrats are easily swayed by UN politics and the UN's biggest funders to amend, censor, and falsify critical climate change information. 

These politically appointed senior IPCC administrators and bureaucrats are so compromised and without real power that they even allowed the UN's big International Climate Conference to be scheduled in 2023 in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (COP 28) so that one of the world's largest oil producers could put on a greenwashing show and better control and manipulate the final results and fossil fuel reduction recommendations of the conference. Click here for more information on the Dubai COP 28 fossil fuel cartel-dominated conference. Can you think of a more compromised situation, twisted joke, or farce than putting on a climate change conference in one of the world's largest fossil fuel producers?

It gets even worse. Because of the global fossil fuel cartel's highly successful disinformation and other undue influence tactics upon the IPCC, the United Nations globally accepted climate change summary reports created by its IPCC division have been continuously underestimated by about 30-60% or more. And yes, this means that our governments, the media, and most environmental groups are unknowingly relying almost entirely on these IPCC climate change summary reports for everything they tell you about climate change consequences, timeframes, progress, and required solutions. 

This aspect of cartel disinformation means that almost everything you have been hearing about climate change facts is about 30-60 % worse, our climate change consequences will be coming 30-60% sooner, and the IPCC's fossil fuel reduction targets will be 30-60% less than the honest now required global fossil fuel reduction targets. 

If you still do not believe what we are saying about the compromised IPCC and its decades of 30-60% underestimation, please read the indented climate science section in [ ] just below. Otherwise, continue to # 3 further below.

[When someone tells you that almost everything you've heard for decades in the media, from the IPCC, from your government, or nearly ALL environmental groups about climate change has been underestimated by about 30 to 60%, you may want to challenge that statement. Accordingly, we have provided this link, which will show you the many disgusting ways (not described in this article) in which the global fossil fuel cartel has grossly distorted and manipulated almost all of the information you are receiving about climate change from the IPCC. (This link will also take you to numerous linked sub-pages of details on how unbelievably deep, continuous, and clever the cartel's climate change information manipulation program has been.)

In this page's even deeper science links, you will see how critical climate change calculations (critical calculation constants) have been significantly lowered below where they should be. You will also see how other remedial climate change calculation factors have been cooked up and invented "out of thin air" and then dropped into the critical global fossil fuel reduction calculations to create grossly underestimated future global fossil fuel reduction targets that favor the fossil fuel cartel.

You will also see how the IPCC has adopted unproven and wildly speculative calculations for using new carbon capture technologies despite not working at scale or reasonable energy efficiency, and which could have even worse unknown side effects. Yet, despite no tangible proof of workability, these fossil fuel cartel-friendly, carbon capture technology calculations were magically used by the IPCC and "dropped into" estimating every update for determining the "correct" required future global fossil fuel reductions. 

These bogus new IPCC carbon technology calculations create the fossil fuel cartel-benefiting illusion that by about 2050, the "miracle carbon capture technology" will save us "just in time," and surprise, surprise, these new IPCC global fossil fuel reduction calculations for carbon capture conveniently do not require humanity to make the currently required survival-essential 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. The cartel wants you to wholeheartedly and falsely believe carbon capture technology will pull all that nasty, toxic carbon pollution out of the air around 2050 and beyond so you do not have to change your current fossil fuel usage in any meaningful way.] 

 3. Successfully delaying, diluting, or killing government-level fossil fuel regulations designed to reduce national or global fossil fuel usage and make the fossil fuel cartel pay for the deadly pollution and other dangerous climate change consequences its products cause. For the last 40 years, the cartel did everything within its power to stop, delay, or dilute any government-level regulations that would enforce government-mandated cuts in fossil fuel use. 

Also, hidden in the background, while publicly blaming the world's citizens for not conserving energy and causing climate change, the cartel vigorously worked behind the scenes to stop, dilute, or delay any new governmental conservation regulations that would directly or indirectly enforce energy conservation or create higher automobile and truck fuel efficiency ratings (in miles per gallon) all of which would reduce global fossil fuel demand and the cartel's global profits. 

The Machiavellian maliciousness of the acts of the cartel does not stop at only:

a. protecting its deadly products and profits,

b. covertly hindering effective conservation.

The cartel has also been engaged in 40 years of continuing global actions to sabotage or block all governmental subsidies for any green energy generation innovations or development. 

The cartel's disinformation campaigns have not spared green energy generation and new green technologies. At the same time, the cartel was also working to stop, delay, or dilute any new government regulations that could benefit or forward green energy development or deployment.

The brilliant maliciousness of cartel disinformation, censorship, and coercive actions leave no loose ends. Anywhere they could, they were also busy creating doubt about green energy generation and new green technologies. They kept busy creating false or misleading information that could slow or stop green energy subsidies or the transition to green energy generation and new green technologies. It appears like anything that could hinder humanity's survival-critical transition to green energy generation and use; they were all in and committed to seeing it done.

The above 40+ years of vile cartel acts clearly show the continuous and conscious intentionality and necessary careful planning behind the cartel's efforts to maintain their profits at any cost, even if it means the lives of millions of people and the destruction of our environment at a level never seen before in human history. But there is still more evil permeating the decades of the detailed orchestration behind the cartel's toxic pollution death machine.

There is another critical tactic needed to ensure the public and its politicians remain climate change stupid, and so disempowered that they won't even think anything is urgent about climate change or that any changes need to be made. This action may be the most insidious of all cartel's despicable tactics and strategies. 2050 and beyond, so you do not have to change your current fossil fuel usage in any meaningful way. 

 4. Continuously creating and promoting false climate change solutions or false progress illusion-building hopeful messages like "we are making progress," "we are safe for now," "the worst climate change consequences won't happen until about 2100," or "carbon capture or a new technology will save us in the future" in the global media. 

They want you and the world to believe that new technologies will be able to clean all of the toxic carbon pollution and poison out of the atmosphere in the distant future, so you don't have to reduce how much toxic fossil fuel-burning carbon you're putting in the atmosphere today or in the future. 

Because of the cartel's many nefarious actions, we have lost 40 -60 years when fossil fuel reductions could have been made gradually and easily managed by our governments. (Today's correct and adjusted global fossil fuel reduction target, which is now required to save the lives of about 1/2 of humanity, is a shocking 75% global fossil fuel usage reduction by 2025. This correct fossil fuel reduction target amount, which compensates for the 40+ lost years when we should have been making gradual fossil fuel reductions, is a target that almost no one believes we can meet with so little time left.)

Tactic 5: The cartel viciously attacks climate scientists, researchers, and qualified academics who dare to publish or speak accurate climate facts that disagree with the cartel's billions spent on climate disinformation. The cartel has a long history of using its financial influence on governments, universities, and corporations to attack or defund legitimate climate change academic research. 

Through proxies, they have engaged in unwarranted harassment and reputational attacks on those academics, climate scientists, and researchers who speak out. The cartel has even gone so far as to try to cancel the paid speaking events of academics and other adversaries. 

World-renowned climate scientists like James Hansen have experienced decades of unwarranted harassment actions to ruin his reputation, defund his research, and cut off his paid public speaking events. Hansen strongly warned (and continues to warn) the public about the dangers of mass human suffering and the threat of human extinction caused by climate change. But, not all climate change academics and scientists are as brave as James Hansen. Consequently, many climate scientists, researchers, and even some activists do and share their critical climate change work anonymously.

Tactic 6. It appears the global fossil fuel cartel is also paying freelance Internet posters or using AI comments to attack anti-cartel information or criticism of the cartel's toxic, deadly products and actions. Their paid or AI role is to be nasty trolls and write personal attack posts to discredit the climate change information and whoever posted it. The attacks against accurate climate science and climate scientists are generally wild pseudo-science counter-opinions or sometimes even efforts to associate the posting or poster with extreme or despicable social or political ideas or organizations.

These attack posts seldom engage in an authentic discussion of legitimate climate science issues or show a qualified understanding of climate science. (These paid cartel internet or AI trolls are most likely being run out of the cartel's highly paid marketing, public relations, or lobbyist firms.)

What may be one of the most vicious and cruel outcomes of the total cumulative and synergetic effects of the cartel's massive global disinformation (lying) campaigns is that humanity has now lost almost six decades of critical:

1. time where we could have gradually reduced global fossil fuel use over the last six decades. If we had started and done what was needed six decades ago, we would not be in an accelerating global climate change emergency today with many now unavoidable catastrophic consequences.

2. time for essential and adequate climate change emergency preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building to manage and survive the many cartel-created and now unavoidable climate change consequences.

The global fossil fuel cartel is using the above tactics for one primary reason: trillions of dollars in profits are at stake. Additionally, they are doing it because if the world's citizens knew the actual climate change facts (found on this website) and understood that the global fossil fuel cartel had deliberately deceived them for decades, they would angrily demand that their politicians radically cut global fossil fuel use immediately. 

It is bitterly painful when someone finally realizes that the global fossil fuel cartel is entirely willing to sacrifice the assets (and lives) of billions of people and your children to satisfy their unquenchable greed for more profit (more super-yachts, more lavish palaces, and more ridiculously luxurious lifestyles for key fossil fuel cartel owners, executives, and investors, enablers, facilitators, etc.)

As you read the link to the other ten climate change facts the cartel never wants you to see at the bottom of this page, it will help to ease the shock most experience by being aware that the powerful hidden influence of the global fossil fuel cartel's disinformation and censorship actions have also caused almost everything that you hear from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) in their globally accepted climate change summary reports is also underestimated by about 30-60% or more. (The IPCC is unfortunately considered by the cartel-disinformation uninformed to be the world's leading and trusted authority on climate change.)

Our governments, the global media, and most environmental groups entirely rely on the IPCC's climate change summary reports for everything they tell you about climate change consequences, timeframes, and solutions. This hidden IPCC gross 30-60% underestimation problem caused directly and indirectly by the global fossil fuel cartel's disinformation, censorship, and coercive influence programs also means explicitly that:

a. everything the media, your governments, or the most prominent environmental groups say about climate change consequence severity will be 30-60% worse than they tell you.

b. everything they say about climate change consequence timetables --- will occur 30-60% sooner than they tell you. And,

c. every fossil fuel reduction target date and target amount, they tell you that is the correct required amount for global fossil fuel use reduction will be 30-60% too little and have a deadline at least 30-60% too late to keep humanity safe and not facing mass extinction.

If you still think what we say about the global fossil fuel cartel distorting, censoring, and coercively influencing our governments, the media, environmental groups, and the climate summaries and solutions of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC), or is, in any way, exaggerated, or that the cartel is not continuously spending billions on climate disinformation to protect it trillions in income, or the cartel is not working tirelessly to make you "climate change stupid, and our politicians paralyzed" then keep exploring 1-5 below. Otherwise, move to the ten climate change facts the cartel never wants you to see linked at the bottom of this page.  

1. If needed, click here for a peer-reviewed 2023 climate change research article that supports the IPCC summary report underestimation calculation range of 30-60%. It is but another shocking exposure of the decades-long gross underestimation of critical climate change data by the UN IPCC.

2. Click here to read a shocking article by a trusted investigative global media newspaper that vigorously documents what we are saying about the global fossil fuel cartel in stunning black and white with painful proof examples. After reading this, you will never doubt that you have been systematically lied to about our actual climate change condition and its real risk and urgency. The obscene amount of money that the cartel is willing to spend to make you and your politicians "climate change stupid" makes the cigarette company's expenditures look like a child's piggy bank.

3. Click here to see the hundreds of well-documented articles about the many ways and tactics the global fossil fuel cartel uses to ensure that our governments, the media, the United Nations, and the world's citizens do not ever demand reduced global fossil fuel use to the required levels to save their own lives and the lives of their children. 

4. Here is another late 2023 peer-reviewed climate change research paper by James Hansen et al., which highlights the growing concerns about IPCC climate information accuracy and underscores the under-reported accelerating severity of coming climate change consequences as discussed in the ten facts below.

"For six decades, we have been lied to by the global fossil fuel cartel about the climate change risks, consequences, solutions, and time frames, solely to maintain their profits. They are spending billions on sophisticated global climate change disinformation campaigns to protect trillions in income." Dan Hardy, climate researcher

6.

Special Global Fossil Fuel Cartel Dirty Tricks Latest Update

As of 3.14.24, it appears that the global fossil fuel cartel is pouring more and more money into the following focused avenues of disinformation:

1. To create a false sense of security, the cartel is getting lots of new articles and media coverage out around the world that are designed to convince humanity that carbon capture technology is working and will be able to save us from climate change catastrophe. Watch for these glowing fictional stories on the future of carbon capture, but be sure to read this article for why carbon capture is "far too little, far too late" to save us from the worst extinction consequences of climate change.

These stories will have "experts" telling you that it's far too late to fix climate change with fossil fuel use reductions, and we are now forced to use carbon capture technology. They certainly won't tell you this is just another clever cartel excuse, so you do not have to feel that we or our governments need to reduce our current fossil fuel use. They also will not tell you the reason why it's too late, which is overwhelmingly because the fossil fuel cartel made sure it was too late by using all of the dirty tactics described in this article.

2. The cartel is pushing very hard on the media and in articles cleverly designed to invisibly make individuals around the world feel that they (and not the cartel) are fully responsible for the current climate change emergency and its consequences. They are doing this because the cartel is currently fighting more than 2,000 lawsuits worldwide, making the cartel pay for climate damage.

3. To create another form of false security, the cartel is pushing media and articles designed to make individuals worldwide believe that the average global temperature will only rise by 2°c by sometime around or after 2100. The 2°C rise by 2100 is complete nonsense.

We are already at a 1.7°C rise. If humanity is lucky enough to still be around after 2060 to 2070, the temperatures by 2100 will be much, much higher than 2°C. Click here to see the honest estimated temperature rise and timeframes and the unlivable future the cartel is creating for humanity.

Never forget that the single biggest reason that the climate change emergency is not getting solved is that for decades, the global fossil fuel cartel has been directly and consistently preventing climate change from being solved simply because they don't want anything lowering their profits. Never forget that the global fossil fuel cartel is the real target and problem, not our governments, politicians, or you. Until we stop the cartel's disinformation and other illegal activities, climate change will keep getting worse!

Do not be fooled by false targets for the cause of climate change or the many minor targets set up to distract you. Focus on real, effective solutions once the cartel has been entirely stopped from destroying humanity's future.

Last Thoughts

The decades-long evil cleverness of the global fossil fuel cartel leaders to control both the information and the climate change framing that you receive from worldwide trusted sources is a tactic right out of classic propaganda manuals. But with this and similar articles, this tactic is steadily being defeated.

This article also means that you or our governments did not cause climate change, nor are you continuing it or responsible for climate change consequences, loss, and damage. Because of their decades-long global disinformation campaigns, the global fossil fuel cartel is both the primary and the ongoing cause of the accelerating climate change emergency, and it is they who must pay for all climate change consequence loss and damage.

You now know that the media, our governments, the UN's IPPC, and even many of our most prominent environmental groups have been unknowingly compromised by billions of dollars spent on decades-long cartel climate change disinformation campaigns. Will you do your part to help combat this highly dangerous climate change disinformation by sharing this article?

The global fossil fuel cartels' disinformation campaigns do a great disservice and are also causing extreme danger and risk to the world's population. Because of decades of the cartel's climate change disinformation campaigns and their other criminal activity, the world's population will be unnecessarily blindsided and utterly unprepared for the many escalating, severe, and unavoidable climate change catastrophes soon to hit them.

There is a lot more than the global fossil fuel cartel is doing to harm the future of humanity that was not covered in this article. Please click here to read a new public trial summary on the many obscene crimes against humanity and criminal actions the cartel is still actively engaged in. (This article has become part of the evidence presented to jury members by climate change experts in this new public trial of the global fossil fuel cartel.)

Updates

1. Big Anti-Cartel Disinformation Litigation Success 

Feb 7, 2024, From the Desmog Blog: This is another huge loss for the global fossil fuel cartel and their agents and minions.

This week, Michael Mann's (the renowned climate change scientist) defamation lawsuit concluded with a jury finding in Mann's favor and awarding him $1 million in punitive damages!

The defamation lawsuit, brought by climate scientist Michael Mann, 12 years in the making, opened Jan 18 in Washington, D.C. Superior Court. Mann sued two conservative commentators — Mark Steyn and Rand Simberg, who is an analyst at the Competitive Enterprise Institute — for defamation, alleging that their attempts to discredit his climate change educational work in print and online had damaged his reputation and led to a decline in his ability to secure research funding.

The defendants doubled down on climate denial as Mann took the stand and as it went to the jury earlier this week. The jury's finding in Mann's favor is not only a personal win but sends a strong message in defense of other climate scientists and scientists whom the agents and minions of the cartel have attacked.

If you want to learn more about the escalating amount of litigation against the global fossil fuel cartel, click here.

2. 2.28.24: As part of its invisible to the general public defensive legal strategy, the fossil fuel cartel has just begun a new advertising program to convince people it is THEIR responsibility to conserve energy to reduce climate change. The cartel wants you to believe that the blame and guilt for all of the escalating climate change consequences is entirely on you, the individual, and not the fossil fuel cartel. 

Watch for these clever ads with celebrities or academics who will tell you all how to cut your fossil fuel use to help control climate change. They sound entirely reasonable, and they offer accurate advice on cutting fossil fuel use, but it is usually the global fossil fuel cartel that is funding them.

This page is part of the Climate Justice Now program. The full Climate Justice Now program is described on this page.

Please note: It is essential to read this page before reading the following. It takes you through the list of the many climate change crimes against humanity that the global fossil fuel cartel has committed over the last 40 years. A link at the bottom of this crimes against humanity page will bring you back to this page when you are done reviewing it.)

Overview

The sections on this page contain:

1. How Decades of the Wrong Climate Change Target Has Equalled Wrong Remedial Actions and Continuous Failure to Lower Global Fossil Fuel Usage.

2. Here are the critical ACTION steps we can take to end the climate change emergency and enforce climate justice.

2. Evidence, documentation, and notes for this main cartel public trial page, which is a legal presentation and argument that provides evidence for the obscene crimes committed by the cartel over the last 40 years.

3. A link to a list of law firms that may be able to help the many victims of climate change. Simply because it directly and immediately removes all profit from wrongdoing, successful court judgments and big damage awards against the global fossil fuel cartel, related companies, senior executives, and enablers may prove to become more effective in ending the climate change emergency than all previous public protests, the previous 27 international climate conferences, and current climate educational efforts.

4. Information relevant for justifying the climate change reparations movement and for those nations suffering the consequences of climate change and that were not responsible for creating them.

5. The most critical legal actions that climate change activists, concerned citizens, mid-sized law firms, and lawyers must take to protect us from the greed, products, and toxic destructive actions of the global fossil fuel cartel.

6. Additional actions that also should be done after focusing on the before mentioned critical actions.

7. Notes for the Climate Justice Now Program. 

The legal actions of the Climate Justice Now program are required because our governments and politicians have utterly failed us. Our media and even our big environmental groups have failed us. For decades, they have all failed to enforce the required, humanity-saving global fossil fuel reductions.

Because of this overwhelming and ongoing failure to act by those we have trusted to protect us, individuals, law firms, and protective government agencies bringing tens of thousands of justified worldwide lawsuits against the members of the global fossil fuel cartel is most likely humanity's last, best hope to stop the out-of-control, greed-intoxicated global fossil fuel cartel before it destroys most of humanity and the Earth's biological systems.

Please also be aware that the criminal acts information in the Climate Justice Now online public trial here will also supercharge the global fossil fuel disinvestment movement. Every university endowment, pension fund, bank, or investment firm will divest all fossil fuel investment holdings and will want to quickly distance itself from anything to do with the growing public relations nightmare surrounding the global fossil fuel cartel's decades of horrendous crimes against humanity (as described in detail here).

Introduction

It is time for climate change justice and climate damage restitution to be legally imposed upon the perpetrators of the global climate change emergency. On this page, you will learn what needs to be done to stop the global fossil fuel cartel from destroying most of humanity and much of Earth's biological life.

The climate change think tank publishers of this article are composed of climate change researchers and educators speaking uncensored climate change facts to power. Our mission-limited climate research, analysis, and educational status means that the ideas and legal positions being presented in these climate change justice pages will only bear fruit and help stop the global crimes and destruction of the cartel if you get involved and get this needed information to the people we suggest below.

How Decades of the Wrong Climate Change Target has Equalled Wrong Remedial Actions and Continuous Failure to Lower Global Fossil Fuel Usage

For over 40 years, most of the world has been looking at the wrong target and not seeing the dominant behind-the-scenes actor and true "villain" causing the climate change emergency. It is time for climate change justice and to turn the world's attention to the global fossil fuel cartel as the correct target causing our current climate change emergency.

Finally and unequivocally, having the correct climate change target empowers us:

a. to break the climate change disinformation stranglehold the cartel has had on the world's citizens for decades and educate the public on the correct threat level and dangers of the escalating climate change emergency.

b. to stop the insane "it's okay if almost everyone dies" cartel profit strategy,

c. to eliminate all cartel undue influence actions designed to stop, slow, or delay governmental regulations that would reduce global fossil fuel use and consequently fix the climate change emergency. And,

d. to file many thousands of lawsuits worldwide to get full financial restitution for all climate damage caused by the cartel's deadly products and actions.

e. to prevent crossing the atmospheric carbon level of 450 ppm, our last genuine chance to avoid a climate change mass extinction threshold that, once crossed, will lead to the near-certain extinction of about half of humanity by about 2050. (Exactly how and why half of humanity goes extinct from passing beyond the critical carbon 450 ppm threshold is covered on this page.)

Here are the critical ACTION steps we can take to end the climate change emergency and enforce climate justice

Step 1: The Climate Justice Now jury trial article must be shared worldwide to help promote the filing of thousands more legitimate lawsuits by individuals, businesses, investors, and governments against the global fossil fuel cartel for cartel-caused climate damage restitution.

Even if you personally have not experienced financial loss or damages due to climate change, it is critical to educate others who may have experienced climate change-related financial loss about their rights and of the ongoing climate justice and restitution movement to bring the global fossil fuel cartel to justice and make them pay for every climate change consequence they have caused.

If we do not quickly "wake up" millions of people to the realization that they have been the victims of a continuous and systematic global climate change disinformation campaign and vile cartel undue influence actions designed to harm them, their families, businesses, and nations they will not file the necessary new lawsuits to:

1. Get the financial restitution and other justice remedies they legally deserve. And, 

2. They will not be able to help remove ALL ill-gotten profits from the cartel's decades of wrongdoing against them and humanity. History has proven time and time again that when the legal system removes all profit from ill-gotten gains from wrongdoing, the wrongdoing stops.

In other words, if you want to fix a problem, don't focus mainly on the problem; first, look for who is profiting from the problem and stop that from happening. Like magic, the problem will then start to disappear almost by itself. 

Yes, climate activists can try to stop another oil pipeline, a new LGN production facility, or a new oil lease project, but that has never worked effectively to reduce the ever-rising levels of fossil fuel greenhouse gas pollution. It is time to move further up the consequences and result chain and take away the global fossil fuel cartel's ability to keep financing its pollution and death machine.

The way we do this is to get every individual, business, and local and national government to sue them for ALL damages, losses, and costs they have experienced because of the consequences of climate change. We are running out of time to save humanity and much of the planet's biological life. It is time for the most potent possible legal bitter medicine, which, in the fastest possible way, will remove all profits from cartel wrongdoing.

Below are the critical groups that you should contact soon as possible

As a non-profit educational climate think tank, we provide unpoliticized, uncensored, and accurate climate research information and analysis. Our limited climate research and analysis role means that ALL website visitors must individually share the climate change solutions and analysis on our website for us! 

Furthermore, individual word-of-mouth sharing is the best way to spread uncensored climate change information most effectively under the current conditions. Personal word-of-mouth one-to-one sharing is critical because the global fossil fuel cartel has successfully manipulated, distorted, and censored the climate news you hear in the media and from your governments. Few will ever know the actual climate truth if you (and) we do not bypass the massive fossil fuel cartel-generated disinformation campaigns by going old-school, low-technology, and using the incredibly effective one-to-one word-of-mouth strategy.

There is no way the global fossil fuel cartel has the tools to keep you from speaking one-on-one in your circle of personal influence about the uncensored climate change truth and restitution for the victims of climate change. And, in a way, when you do this, you too will be single-handedly defeating the mighty global fossil fuel cartel and their billions spent on climate change disinformation and delaying or stopping fossil fuel reduction regulation. 

We cannot fix the climate change emergency in time to save humanity without lots of intelligent and motivated individuals helping us to educate the world. You and your one-to-one information-sharing talents are more critical than ever to the future survival of humanity!

If you do not share our uncensored climate change information one-on-one by word-of-mouth, it will not reach enough people to make a difference before it is too late! 

No matter where you live worldwide, you can start sharing our climate change information one-on-one by word-of-mouth using the steps below.

Get the 3-part Climate Change Now program, including this climate change trial page to:

a. every homeowner, business, and local community government harmed by climate change's direct or indirect consequences.

B. every farmer and farming association worldwide. As climate change consequences continue to escalate, farmers are already and will be among the worst-hit groups for financial losses because of the fossil fuels cartel's 40 years of destructive actions. Farmers, who are critical to our survival, need to know the actual cause of why so many more crops are failing beyond the normal levels of failure and low crop yields. 

Worldwide low crop yields and crop failures are among the most predicted and earliest-arriving consequences of escalating global warming caused by climate change. As escalating climate change continues, global farming will be among the worst climate change-impacted industries. (Climate change-driven extreme weather events are defined, in part, as heatwaves, heat domes, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, cyclones, tornados, floods, flooding, sea level rise, rain bombs, wind storms [Derechos], dust storms, wildfire smoke events, unseasonable cold spells, and other abnormal, unseasonal, or record-breaking weather related to rapidly accelerating climate change.)

C. every investor who has lost money on any investment harmed by climate change consequences where the correct climate change risks were not properly disclosed in the investment portfolio by the brokers or investment firms.

D. every worldwide environmental and climate journalist you know or can contact.

Ask them also to start promoting and filing legitimate lawsuits against the fossil fuel cartel for the worldwide damages it has and is causing. The filing of legitimate lawsuits for cartel-caused climate damages will help remove all of the cartel's ill-gotten gains for destroying millions of lives and the environment.

Not much will survive unless climate and environmental organizations and journalists get this climate justice, jury, and litigation information and have the raw courage to define and reframe humanity's climate change emergency at a more accurate, honest, and practical level! 

Please also share and post this jury trial article to all worldwide climate change and environmental newsgroups. Every climate-related newsgroup in every nation has the right to become aware of rising litigation against the cartel and the cartel's 40-year dark history and ongoing criminal actions.

E. every undeveloped nation's government agencies most responsible for managing climate change losses and damages so that they, too, may receive just financial restitution for the many climate change damages they and their people have experienced. Underdeveloped nonfossil fuel nations will suffer the most from climate change between the 35th parallel north and the 35th parallel south.

It is beyond the time for the underdeveloped nations that have been damaged by the toxic global fossil fuel pollution's many consequences, which were created by the wealthy developed nations, to stop being beggars. It is time for underdeveloped nations to stop begging under the table of the rich nations, meekly asking for nano-scraps of promised but seldom delivered financial assistance for the horrendous past and ongoing climate damages that rich nations have done to them.

It is time for undeveloped nations to stop being powerless beggars and start being empowered plaintiffs in new lawsuits against the wealthy nations and producers of toxic fossil fuel pollution and its many damages. This secondary action of filing lawsuits against rich nations should only be done after lawsuits have been initiated against the "deep financial pockets" of the global fossil fuel cartel, as described in the three parts of the Climate Justice Now program.

To help underdeveloped nations bring lawsuits against the nations producing toxic fossil fuel pollution since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution (about 1800,) use a simple formula for the best estimate of how much total pollution a rich nation has produced since 1800. Then, compare that total pollution amount (probably in gigatons of carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide) to how much every other rich developed nation has produced since 1800.

That calculation would give you a proportional amount of climate change damage that particular developed nation has produced in relation to every other rich developed nation. This calculation would then be used to determine how much would be paid by that rich developed nation to the undeveloped nations.

It is long past overdue for undeveloped nations harmed by climate change (which has been caused almost entirely by rich developed nations) to stop asking (begging) for financial crumbs and start taking the huge lawsuit judgments they deserve using every traditional and creative worldwide litigation avenue.

F. all indigenous, native, and First Nations peoples fighting the pollution and other toxic effects of the cartel on their lands and homes worldwide.

G. every media outlet covering worldwide climate change litigation and international climate conferences like the regular IPCC COP conferences.

H. the big environmental groups and climate change educational groups worldwide.

If they don't stop using fossil fuel-manipulated climate information, they will unknowingly keep promoting the current IPCC's grossly underestimated (30-60% underestimated) climate change consequences, timeframes, and climate change solutions. Wealthy environmental groups should also consider sponsoring class action lawsuits against the cartel to defend the area of the environment most closely associated with their mission.

I. mid-sized law firms seeking new business opportunities or specializing in class action lawsuits. Mid-sized law firms usually haven't accepted cases from fossil fuel cartel companies, which would make them ineligible to bring a case against the cartel. Midsize law firms are always looking for new opportunities for justice where the wrongdoer has deep financial reserves and the case itself will get much local or even national publicity.

J. your local, state, and national politicians and related agency heads who already believe that climate change is real. Now, they also need to understand what the global fossil fuel cartel is doing and how its disinformation has made fools of them. 

While forwarding this article to your politicians, be sure to demand that they also pass the needed new climate change laws and take other legal actions against the global fossil fuel cartel described in this article. Demand your climate change accepting politicians explain their actions to resolve the Climate Change Double Dilemma (described previously).

Your local state and national politicians do not want to find themselves on the wrong side of history as wave after wave of worsening climate change consequences rips across the world, and the term Climate Change Global Holocaust begins appearing more often in the media.

If your local, state, or national politicians ignore you or do not "wake up" to the global fossil fuel cartel's disinformation about the insane current climate change threat level, then we strongly recommend you use the creative legal and peaceful protest tactics found on this page.

K. the world's climate change activists, who also can help get this article and Climate Justice Now program to all other individuals, businesses, and local, state, and national government agencies who have already experienced the expensive and devastating climate change consequences and are struggling to pay those damages caused by the global fossil fuel cartel's reckless regard for human life, health, and property. They need to understand what has happened to them is the result of the continuous intentional actions of the cartel over the last 40 years. They need to protect their taxpayers from having to pay the bill for the cartel's criminal actions.

There is already over $100 billion in claimed damages in over 2,000 lawsuits against the cartel. Eventually, the cartel will have to pay trillions of dollars, and many law firms will be willing to help the cartel's victims be made whole once again.

Insurance and reinsurance companies worldwide are aggressively canceling all climate change medium to high-risk policies because climate change is not an act of God or an accident, and they will not let themselves go bankrupt from rising costs caused directly by the products of the fossil fuel cartel. The only places left that cartel climate victims can be made whole and get restitution for the cartel's crimes and damages to their lives, homes, and businesses will be in the courts. 

Also, get this article to individuals concerned about the damaging mass migrations going on worldwide so that they understand the real cause of these climate change-driven mass migrations and the conflicts they produce is the global fossil fuel cartel. And finally and most importantly...

L. all law firms and government agency attorneys or attorney generals currently involved in private or public lawsuits with fossil fuel-related companies (especially law firms specializing in class action lawsuits involved in helping climate victims get millions of dollars in restitution for climate change damages.) 

These public and private attorneys and solicitors are the new heroes of the climate change emergency movement. Please write them personal letters thanking them for their courage. Some of these attorneys will soon become household names as the number and size of the judgments against the fossil fuel cartel rise. Some of them may parlay their highly public success against the cartel into new political positions.

When you write them, always ask them NEVER to seal any evidence or case records in any cartel settlement so everyone else can use those public records to forward their cases. The cartel is well financed, and only by keeping all of the evidence unsealed and public can individuals, small businesses, and small local governments afford to fight the cartel on a more level playing field. With those unsealed evidence and trial transcripts maintained, the litigation scales are better balanced, and "David" can take on "Goliath" in a fair litigation fight.

Today, thousands of individual and class action lawsuits against the cartel are happening worldwide. It is time for the worldwide lawyers and local, state, and national attorney generals for those victims and government agencies to not only prove in the courtrooms the cartel's continuous bad faith intent and many ongoing illegal actions over 40 years designed solely to prevent or slow:

a. any fossil fuel reductions from being enacted in law.

b. any legitimate climate change solutions from being taken seriously or enacted. And 

c. the world's citizens from understanding the true nature of the danger the cartel's fossil fuel products upon their lives, businesses, communities, and nations.

If you know of any law firms who are also suing any of the global fossil fuel cartel companies, please let us know so we can add them to our master list below.)

Step 2: Stop using the fossil fuel conflict of interest ridden 30-60% grossly underestimated IPPC Summary Climate Change Reports and turn all IPCC COP climate conferences into a climate change shocking "wake up"global education event by doing the following:

Or, Why the COP 28 International climate conference was a total disaster.

The first thing this conference has to stop doing is using the fossil fuel conflict-of-interest-ridden 30-60% grossly underestimated IPPC Summary Climate Change Reports.

The second thing that needs to happen is to turn any future IPCC COP climate conferences into a climate change shocking "wake up"global education event by doing the following:

A. demanding that the IPCC use the correct climate sensitivity amount and immediately redo all of its 30-60% underestimated climate change consequence severity and timeframe calculations and its global fossil fuel reduction calculations and target dates. (For verification on the decades-long 30-60% gross underestimation of climate consequence severity and timelines and correct global fossil fuel reduction amounts required by the IPCC, see this page and its climate research and links.)

For decades, the IPCC has been using a fossil fuel-favoring grossly underestimated climate sensitivity amount. See this article for a full explanation of why this climate sensitivity underestimation by the IPCC is so critical to your future survival and why new IPCC summary reports must be re-calculated with the correct climate sensitivity amount and reissued immediately! And,

The IPCC's gross underestimation of climate sensitivity in its summary reports has some powerful, immediate impacts:

1. The world's citizens, governments, corporations, and media must demand that the IPCC's latest climate change summary report is immediately re-done and re-issued using the correct climate sensitivity constant, that all other known errors and omissions are also fixed, and that all fossil fuel favorable conflicts of interest are removed. Until this corrected new climate change summary report is issued, we strongly recommend discounting everything in the existing uncorrected report by 60%.

This IPCC underestimation crisis means that IPCC-predicted climate consequences can be viewed as being 60% worse than we are being told and will arrive 60% sooner than the IPCC has predicted. This underestimation crisis also means that the IPPC calculations for global fossil fuel calculations are 60% too little and must be achieved 60% sooner than the current IPCC fossil fuel reduction deadlines. (Please see this page, which summarizes the many decades of severe IPCC underestimation issues, critical calculation issues and omissions, and other IPCC methods to "cook" and distort the climate change calculations to allow the global fossil fuel cartel to continue selling even more fossil fuel amounts and avoid meaningful government regulations to reduce global fossil fuel use.)

If the IPCC does not immediately re-issue corrected climate change summary reports resolving its known conflict of interest, underestimation, and other issues, then the IPCC must be bypassed and discarded as a credible, trusted source of climate change information. Then, to get honest climate information to corporations, governments, the media, and the world's citizens, a new climate change research authority must be created independent of all fossil fuel or governmental conflicts of interest.

2. Because the IPCC's Climate Change Summary Reports have been widely, conclusively, and repeatedly shown by numerous peer-reviewed climate studies to be grossly underestimated by 60% and additionally politically compromised by fossil fuel interests having undue influence over the IPCC, any corporation or government who has used (or continues to use) the IPCC's Climate Change Summary Reports has a severe legal liability exposure in any climate change risk disclosures used in any of their purchase agreements, insurance policies, investment disclosures, or anywhere else their legal or agency documents discuss climate changes consequence risks. For example, this new liability exposure applies to zoning agencies that have issued future flood plain ratings based on IPCC Summary Report predictions. 

This now means that all corporations and governments that used the IPCC's Climate Change Summary Reports in any of their risk disclosures for property purchases, insurance, investments, etc, must immediately update those disclosures with notices to their clients of the correct new levels of climate risk based on the corrected climate change consequence calculations that are not underestimated by 60%. This climate change-related risk and disclosure update may not shield the corporations and governments from past climate change consequence liabilities because proper due diligence by their chief executives and law firms should have discovered the well-documented and widespread prior challenges to the inaccuracy of IPCC's Summary Reports by the climate change science community.

Maybe you think we are exaggerating about how the fossil fuel cartel has been behaving. If you do, click here to read a shocking article by a trusted investigative global media newspaper that vigorously supports what we are saying about the global fossil fuel cartel. After reading this, you will never doubt that you have been systematically lied to by the cartel and its controlled parties about our actual climate change condition and its real risk and urgency.

The obscene amount of money that the cartel is willing to spend to make you and your politicians "climate change stupid" (described in the link above) makes the cigarette companies' expenditures look like a child's piggy bank.

B. calling attention to and focusing on the fossil fuel cartel's crimes against humanity and our biological systems.

C. calling for thousands of new worldwide lawsuits against the fossil fuel cartel where the cartel is held liable for full financial restitution for all the climate change damages its products and actions have caused.

What better time to call the world's attention to the crimes of the cartel and initiate more lawsuits to collect restitution for climate damages against the cartel? In fact, every media opportunity and climate conference that occurs going forward should be considered another opportunity to encourage all of the victims of climate change consequences to sue the fossil fuel cartel for financial restitution and publicly charge them for their ongoing crimes against humanity.

D. if you plan on going to any future IPCC climate conference, boycott them until the IPCC reissues its climate change summary reports re-calculated with the correct climate sensitivity amount.

Fossil fuel cartel members like the Emirates are not good-faith partners. We recommend these actions for everyone except those:

a. attending any future COP event to either report on or document the fossil fuel cartel's bad faith Machiavellian efforts to co-opt or control the climate change educational movement, their disinformation, their crimes against humanity, or to promote climate damage restitution lawsuits against the cartel.

b. seeing it as the best annual chance to publicly register and spread the climate change restitution demands of the developing world, which has been useful in forwarding climate change justice. The undeveloped world, in general, is and will suffer more climate change consequences than almost any other area.

If climate activists attend any IPCC COP or other international climate conferences, we hope they will vigorously educate those who do not yet understand the global fossil fuel cartel is not a good faith partner or legitimate sponsor of climate change education or legitimate climate change regulation because of what they have done for the last 40 years, are doing now, and will continue to do.

Beyond what has already been said in this article, here is a short list of reasons to either boycott future IPCC COP conferences or create a new annual Global Climate Change Forum where truly independent climate scientists, researchers, NGOs, think tanks, and activists can meet to speak "climate truth to power" and where the global fossil fuel cartel and its cronies will be excluded.

Here is why:

1. The cartel's infiltration of the environmental and climate change movements is widespread. This bad faith infiltration is designed to secretly and slowly co-opt the missions of these organizations and dilute and distort their climate change messages so the cartel can continue "business as usual" and keep selling even more fossil fuels for longer.

2. Naively optimistic green environmental staff and organizations have not yet learned the painful evolutionary lesson that not all cooperation and partnering is good. Legitimate cooperation is only wise cooperation with actual win/win outcomes and balanced reciprocal benefits.

Many hopeful and desperate climate activists who will attend IPCC COP conferences will look directly into the eyes of lavishly paid cartel executives, lobbyists, PR firm staff, shilling climate think tank staff and believe that their nice-sounding, very agreeable statements or that their fake negotiations are factual and can be relied upon when the whole purpose of these cartel personnel being there is to control the fossil fuel reduction message by subtly diluting it, delaying, it confusing it, or killing it. They seem to forget that for some nations, fossil fuel sales are the only or main income they have. Allowing anyone to require them not to sell as much fossil fuel would be unthinkable.

They can not go home to their cartel's bosses and expect to get paid (remember, the fossil fuel cartel is all about money) if they do not tell their bosses that they once again got the results of diluting, delaying, confusing, or killing the "radical global fossil fuel reductions now" message with more disinformation or other near invisible thwarting tactics. They can never let the genuine climate change radical fossil fuel reduction message go public. They must hide the correct global fossil fuel reductions of about 75% to meet the 2025 targets, or far more than half of the post-2050 surviving population not already condemned to death because of past fossil fuel tactics will also die.

These naive, optimistic, or uninformed activists will continue to believe that everything is going well when the cartel's personnel are smiling at them with their eyes shining. But their happy, cooperative appearance only means the cartel's personnel are laughing at the gullible activists and mentally counting their lavish next cartel bonuses.

3. Unfortunately, many environmental and climate organizations have also wrongly equated lavish cash sponsorships and huge donations from cartel members with true climate change progress. (True progress means immediate, radical global fossil fuel reductions to meet the 2025 global targets now at about 75% because they have been missed for decades.) 

4. Recent cartel internal projection reports on future global fossil fuel production indicate that the global fossil fuel cartel fully expects to sell considerably MORE fossil fuel globally in 2050 than it is now. If that is not the precise dictionary definition of bad faith and a bad faith partner for a COP conference, I do not know what is. And,

5. Of course, no cartel member would ever give the environmental and climate change educational movements any cash if those nonprofit organizations demanded a genuine wise win/win partnership and that the global fossil fuel cartel fully comply with the real 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets.

6. And finally, there is a famous quote by Golda Meyer, one of the co-founders of the state of Israel, that truly has applicability in this situation. She said, "You cannot negotiate with someone who is coming to kill you."

After understanding everything in our 3 climate justice articles, it would be far beyond being only a climate change conference farce if legitimate climate change researchers and climate organizations went to future COP conferences thinking it will make a difference. 

But if they go to future COP conferences to call attention to the cartel's crimes and the need for thousands more worldwide lawsuits and restitution awards for climate damages or turn what the COP into a highly public global indictment of the fossil fuel cartel that was also extensively covered in the international media, that truly would be a worthy goal.

Step 3: The climate emergency is not going well. Individuals, businesses, and nations must preserve themselves by beginning their climate change emergency preparations, adaptations, and resiliency-building programs.

The why is simple. If you do not survive, you will not be around to help fix this escalating climate nightmare.

Step two is surprising for many people. This surprise save-yourself action is necessary because:

1. The cartel's 40 years of actions to delay and prevent any fossil fuel reductions have caused the soon-arriving next wave of climate change consequences (2025-2031) to be deadly, horrendous, and unavoidable.

2. The reason to save-yourself is similar to what occurs on an airplane if there's an ongoing emergency. In an airline emergency, you are told to put on your oxygen mask first before trying to help your children or anyone else. That way, you can preserve yourself and your abilities to manage the emergency better and help others. 

By getting emergency prepared and adapted for what is coming, you are among the few progressives who genuinely understand the severity and urgency of the climate change emergency. By getting prepared, you will be around far longer to help manage the causes of the climate change emergency and deal with its many consequences! 

This "save yourself" action will give the many worldwide progressives the additional time, freedom, and ability to build the resources and resilience to survive the remaining long battle to slow down escalating climate change enough to help prevent humanity's near-total extinction.

If many progressives worldwide can survive the climate change extinction emergency, there will be a higher probability that after widespread climate collapse, progressive values like equality, sustainability, and justice will take root and become a new foundation for a better world for ALL.

3. There is no more time cushion or time left to delay these climate change emergency get-prepared actions. The fossil fuel cartel also stole your precious slow preparation time. Click here to see why the climate is going to be so much worse from 2025-2031.

Because of ever-rising heat and accelerating climate change, extreme weather consequences like rain bombs, droughts, etc., there will be far more lowered crop yields and crop failures. This increasing crop-sensitive extreme weather will lead to soaring food prices and mass starvation. This mass starvation will then lead to the mass migrations of hundreds of millions of people, leading to ever-increasing global border and resource conflicts. (Click here for the step-by-step details on how the global fossil fuel cartel enabled and facilitated global climate catastrophe will unfold.)

One non-profit organization that is on the cutting edge and will help you prepare your home, business, or community for the next wave of the climate change nightmare is Climatesafe Villages. It provides open access for all to its critical climate change emergency preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building information. Click here or the image below to learn more about ClimateSafe Villages.

Step 4: Have the world's political leaders create verifiable, and enforceable national and international climate laws and treaties with clear violation punishments.

This will take more time to achieve, but we must:

a. achieve the honest 2025 global fossil fuel reductions in time to save us from extinction. These laws will include government-enforced fossil fuel rationing. (There would be a necessary temporary exception for the world's military and police forces to maintain order while they convert their fossil fuel vehicles to green energy sources.) 

We will need to eliminate all fossil fuel sources until we reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases back to the safe carbon level of carbon 270-350 ppm, which had existed for hundreds of thousands of years before the fossil fuel-powered Industrial Revolution began. (We are currently at about carbon 423 ppm. Click here for all new climate laws needed.)

b. rapidly remove ALL government fossil fuel subsidies and tax breaks from all fossil fuel energy generation and supply industries.

c. incentivize full fossil fuel divestment from the dying global fossil fuel cartel.

d. increase the tax rates on all global fossil fuel cartel profits.

e. mandate laws that the fossil fuel cartel and related corporations pay for all environmental and health damages caused by their products and their 40 years of actions to thwart global fossil fuel use reductions. (If these laws are not passed soon, our governments and, ultimately, their citizens will have to pay for these damages as worldwide insurance companies abandon all policies covering damages from climate change consequences.)

f. initiate legal actions that ensure sufficiently severe legal and financial punishments for all politicians, fossil fuel senior executives, and fossil fuel cartel lobbying firms, think tanks, public relations firms, media firms, investment firms, and any majority stockholders that help to create, promote or continue the climate change emergency or hindered its resolution.

Fossil fuel senior executives or those who control them must be held primarily liable in national and International court actions for their most severe and heinous crimes against humanity and crimes against the biosphere because of:

1. their toxic products 

2. their 40 years of actions to prevent global fossil fuel reductions or,

3. their continuing to violate the new national and international climate change reduction laws and treaties or, 

4. their acts in any future way that would slow or hinder the legally mandated implementation of all new global climate change reduction laws.

g. Ensure a fair legal process to determine the individuals and companies most responsible for all global climate change damages and losses. This fairness process must be part of our first principles for true climate change justice. For example, when you are looking over all of the things we need to do to stop the life-destroying actions of the global fossil fuel cartel below, remember that we must also identify and take care of the innocent fossil fuel industry employees and other related employees who did not know of, approve, or engage in the Machiavellian cartel actions listed above.

The funds raised from the court's legal repayment and punishment actions described below will go to many areas (described on this page). Still, one of the most critical areas for funding is caring for non-senior executives working within the global fossil fuel cartel-related industries, eventually losing their jobs. We must use part of the funds collected below for national and international non-fossil fuel industry job transition training, support, and recovery. There must be help and support for everyone below the senior fossil fuel executives and related company executives whose livelihoods will be hurt by the required, sudden, and radical reductions in global fossil fuel use and the other actions listed below. 

Step 5: If you are or you know of witnesses to the global fossil fuel cartel's crimes, read the following.

There is now a worldwide Climate Change WhistleBlower support organization helping to surface and protect old and new witnesses willing to speak to the media and in trial courts about the many past and ongoing crimes of the global fossil fuel cartel. If you are a witness or know a witness, please connect them to the following group or to your local criminal and legal authorities.

For the Climate WhistleBlowers Website, click here. (Laura Paquemar is a Project officer at Climate Whistleblowers.)

Additional actions that also should be done after focusing on the before-mentioned critical actions

a. Demand that the International Criminal Court begin and expand new legal actions against global fossil fuel cartel members and its senior or controlling or managing executives.

There have never been crimes against humanity and all biological life on Earth planet close to the scale of what is being perpetrated by the global fossil fuel cartel. If prosecuting the global fossil fuel cartel members does not fall within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, what in God's name does, and why do they even exist?

Climate change cases against the global fossil fuel cartel should fall within the International Criminal Court's (ICC) jurisdiction. Legal actions against the cartel are within the ICC's jurisdiction because of:

a. the ongoing intentional crimes against humanity by the cartel and,

b. because of the ongoing deadly results of its products, which continue to kill at least 10 million people annually.

This page and some of the evidence listed further below in the evidence section document and demonstrate the global fossil fuel cartel's ongoing crimes against humanity and other ongoing international crimes. 

b. Sign two petitions to stop the ongoing insanity of the global fossil fuel cartel and pass the needed new laws:

1. Click here to sign the Job One for Humanity climate change extinction emergency petition to get our politicians to enact the needed new fossil fuel regulations.

2. Click here to sign the Action Network petition to get more national and state-by-state government agencies suing the global fossil fuel cartel for the damages it has and is continuing to cause. 

c. Demand the United Nations establish a fundamental new international human right of Climate Asylum. This right would exist for any individual who has been displaced by the consequences of climate change, which has been primarily caused by northern developing nations worldwide. 

Climate Asylum would allow any individual to migrate from any country harmed by climate change to one not experiencing the same level of climate change consequences. The poor and underdeveloped nations must lead the push at the United Nations to get the right of climate asylum recognized as a universal and fundamental human right.

Climate Asylum must become a primary new tenant of the climate justice movement. Click here to see how this new international right of Climate Asylum will significantly benefit those countries taking in climate migrants (aka climagees).

d. All environmental groups, climate activists, and media stop using the term climate change by itself and start using the terms climate change extinction emergency, climate change global holocaust, or global heating extinction emergency.

Click here for the four most critical reasons why we must do this now to defeat one of the cartel's earliest climate change confusion-generating tactics. After the four reasons, there is also a pledge you can sign regarding making the language change. 

e. mandate new laws that all non-fossil-fuel-divested businesses, individuals, and nations also be held co-liable for financial restitution for all climate change damages caused by the global fossil fuel cartel as ongoing co-conspirators. 

This page contains a list of law firms that may be able to help the many worldwide victims of climate change. New lawsuits immediately start the process of removing all profit from cartel wrongdoing. Eventually and hopefully soon, successful court judgments and big damage awards against the global fossil fuel cartel, its related companies, its senior executives, and its associated enablers may prove to become more effective in ending the climate change extinction emergency than previous public protests, the previous 27 international climate conferences, and current climate educational efforts. This page also contains essential information about climate change damage restitution lawsuits.

Notes for the Climate Justice Now Program 

Never forget, suing the global fossil fuel cartel members for your climate damages or telling others to sue will help to save humanity from mass extinction by helping to prevent humanity's crossing the last chance atmospheric carbon 450 ppm (parts per million) tipping point. (This page thoroughly explains this last chance for humanity to stay below the carbon 450 ppm tipping point.)

Other notes:

1. This editorial article results from creative suggestions by Barry Gander and Dan Hardy's climate research opinions. The Job One climate change research team and numerous other climate researchers and activists outside of Job One (who wish to remain anonymous) have also significantly contributed to the final opinions, editing, and materials in the Climate Justice Now program. 

We again ask crowd-sourced worldwide individuals concerned about the climate change emergency and the crimes of the global fossil fuel cartel to let us know if you see ways we can improve our online cartel trial or our Climate Justice Now program. If you see any errors or missing essential information, email your suggestions to ([email protected]).

Please also feel free to comment under the articles and always keep sending this article to anyone harmed by the cartel's accelerating climate change consequences. 

2. In some ways, one has to admire the twisted and dark brilliance of the world's wealthiest cartel hiring the best lobbyists, best public relations firms, and other super-talented influence-wielding team members that money can buy to dumb down the whole world concerning the honest facts of climate change while simultaneously thwarting any regulation effort to reduce its ability to spew ever more toxic greenhouse gas pollution into our atmosphere.

The global fossil fuel cartel has successfully spent the last 40 years making it nearly impossible for the world's citizens to understand the real dangers they face from accelerating climate change. At the same time, the fossil fuel cartel has made it impossible for our politicians to enact honest and effective fossil fuel reductions or other critical fossil fuel cartel regulations involving cartel financial liability for their products and 40 years of disinformation.

If that is not an absolutely brilliant two-tiered strategy executed with near-unlimited funds, I don't know what could be better or more effective. The cartel has disempowered average citizens at the bottom with little political power and deactivated and compromised politicians at the top with near-absolute power.

The global fossil fuel cartel has corrupted human society's critical and necessary corrective processes by making it impossible for the general population to rationally look at correct climate change facts while simultaneously inhibiting our politicians from acting to protect the common well-being. The cartel has brilliantly made it so that "the people can't think accurately about climate change, and the politicians can't act."

Congratulations to the global fossil fuel cartel and its minions. They have not only doomed billions of us to unimaginable financial losses, suffering, and death, but they have also mindlessly condemned themselves and their children to the exact same eventual climate change consequence-driven fate.

And finally, don't forget that global climate change consequences costs are already so high that insurance and reinsurance companies worldwide are rapidly canceling their insurance policies in any climate change medium to high-risk areas at the fastest rates in insurance history. That means if the insurance companies do not pay for climate change, you will pay directly or through higher taxes unless the cartel is made to pay. See this article then this article for more about increasing insurance cancellations.

3. When we say villain, we speak of wrong or evil actions caused by greed or ignorance. Each reader has to decide whether it is one or the other, or both.

4. Job One never takes donations or consulting work from the global fossil fuel cartel or its related companies because of reasons found in the article.

5. If humanity is uncharacteristically climate change lucky, it may have until as late as 2031 to make the radical fossil fuel reductions needed to save most of the other half of humanity post-2050.

8. We strongly recommend watching The Earth 2100 video by ABC TV because it is even truer today than in 2009. This ABC TV video also helps explain why ClimateSafe Villages exist, and it does so considerably easier than all the climate science links on the Job One website. It may send a chill through your whole being. Please share it with anyone you know who is seriously concerned about climate change and their future. 

To watch the spellbinding Earth 2100 ABC TV video, go to  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDqRpM72Odg

Here are a few of the 2009 ABC video limitations and inaccuracies and a few 2023 climate updates

Over half of the above video's climate change timeframe and consequence predictions are relatively accurate. But many other critical consequences and timeframes are underestimated by as much as 30 to 60%. We suspect ABC TV was using the widely available climate science funded or influenced by the well-funded global fossil fuel cartel's disinformation campaigns. The following is part of what needs to be updated regarding this 2009 ABC video:

a. Most of what the ABC video says will happen by 2100 will probably be happening between 2060 and 2070. 

b. ABC did get very close to James Hanson's research, where he said once humanity crosses the carbon 386 parts per million in the atmosphere level, global warming becomes runaway global warming. That occurred in 2015. (Hansen is one of the world's most respected climate change researchers.)

c. At the end of the video, where ABC proposes climate change solutions, they are far from being in the correct priority sequence, and those ABC solutions will not save humanity in time from the worst climate change consequences! This ABC climate solution error is critical because they assert that our lives could be better by 2050 if we did the solutions they recommend. If we follow their suggestions, half the world's population will die by 2050. (See the documentation section below for the correct solutions governments must enact.)

Their proposed climate solutions are also tech and Wall Street finance-friendly. The idea we will "invest our way out of this crisis" is nonsense and shows they do not understand the honest climate change timeframes and consequences. We have to radically cut fossil fuels right now to have any hope of having even a much smaller portion of humanity surviving. Climate change "business as usual" means we will cross more extinction-level climate change tipping points from 2025-2031. 

d. Nowhere in the ABC climate solutions do they call for sacrifice for our own families and future generations.

e. More 2023 climate change updates are on our website.

f. The ABC TV video is also great because it visually helps many understand why so many other individuals are waking up to their climate change-driven future and facing why they must immediately start preparing, adapting, and building climate change resilience in their homes, businesses, and communities. 

9. And almost as comic relief, we recommend watching Kingsman: The Secret Service. It is about a wealthy billionaire megalomaniac enlisting the other ultra-wealthy who want to deal with a runaway climate change global heating emergency by intentionally wiping out most of humanity. In a manner of poetic justice, this movie will show how well that "1% versus the 99%" survival strategy works for the 1% trying to save themselves from an endless cascading convergence of climate catastrophes.

10. For argument's sake, let's assume that sooner or later, your politicians will act to radically cut their national global fossil fuel use, but unfortunately, there is another huge problem. There is nothing to guarantee that other nations will do the same. Those non-agreeing nations could even capture a considerable competitive advantage over nations who do reduce their fossil fuel use if they hold out and do not reduce their national fossil fuel use.

This is the essence of our current evolutionary tragedy. Humanity has not yet evolved a global governing body with the power to make and enforce global laws and punish nation-state violators. Contemporary evolutionary theory indicates that competitive human groups will unite with other competitive groups only when there is an exterior threat to both groups so profound and overwhelming that their survival is at stake if they do not cooperate and unite.

The petrifying amount of global fossil fuel cartel-caused deaths since the 1800s and projected until 2050 of more than 3 and 1/5 billion leads us to another wild but theoretically applicable question with global evolutionary implications:

"If an alien force was attacking Earth and their weapons could reach every nation, and it was obvious that hundreds of millions, if not billions, would die --- if they were not quickly defeated, do you think the nations of the world would finally put aside their competitive positions and unite as one world fighting force to fight and deal with the alien attack?"

Paradoxically and ironically, we are now facing the same kind of all-but-certain mass deaths (of half the human population by 2050) because of:

1. one for-profit cartel's insane greed and actions,

2. the 223 years of the accumulated toxic and heat-generating consequences of their products on our shared atmosphere. 

Worse yet, if we do not make radical global fossil fuel reductions and come close to the 2025 global targets, many post-2050 human survivors will likely die. 

Are not the accelerating climate change extinction consequences every bit as much of a global threat to every nation and every person as powerful hostile aliens attacking the Earth? Are not the consequences of the climate change emergency affecting ALL of Earth no different than the dangers of alien weapons capable of decimating any area of Earth?

What will it finally take for this jury and humanity to take the next evolutionary steps? Will we come together as one united planet and finally execute climate change justice to save ourselves before it is too late? Or, will we wait to make the required changes until we have experienced the greatest possible trauma in human history of three-plus billion preventable deaths and widespread global collapse? 

11. As we cut fossil fuels, worldwide military and police forces would be exempt from fossil fuel reductions to maintain order during that difficult transition

17. This page contains a list of law firms that may be able to help the many worldwide victims of climate change. New lawsuits immediately start the process of removing all profit from cartel wrongdoing. Eventually and hopefully soon, successful court judgments and big damage awards against the global fossil fuel cartel, its related companies, its senior executives, and its associated enablers may prove to become more effective in ending the climate change extinction emergency than previous public protests, the previous 27 international climate conferences, and current climate educational efforts. This page also contains essential information about climate change damage restitution lawsuits.

18. Will our global politicians make the tough decisions to enact the required 2025 global fossil fuel reductions to save at least as much of post-2050 humanity as possible? The research team at Job One doubts it. Politicians know that with such an unpopular and hated decision, their time in office would be over quickly.

There is also the position that politicians in the wealthy, developed northern nations might decide to reduce fossil fuels to the correct 2025 targets. But only after they seal their borders tightly to prevent mass migration into their nations and while quietly and privately justifying their position with the rationalization that most people would be dying would be from poor, undeveloped southern nations and not their citizens.

We believe that it is far more likely most politicians will once again "kick the climate change emergency "can" down the road until they are out of office and have preserved their well-paying jobs and pensions for as long as possible. Most politicians have been fossil fuel disinformation compromised in one way or another. In addition to the steady stream of "authoritative appearing" climate change disinformation, the cartel has provided most of our politicians with lavish campaign financing and other lobbyist-delivered official and unofficial, likely off-the-books perks.

Most of our politicians will believe the self-serving fossil fuel cartel's disinformation and think that only distant future generations suffer. Quite conveniently, they will be long gone from office by that time. Most politicians erroneously believe the worst climate consequences will occur decades from now, and they and their families will not suffer any personal or political consequences. 

To help justify and rationalize their grossly negligent climate change inaction, our politicians will carefully examine their climate change public opinion surveys, which have also been strongly influenced by decades of the same cartel disinformation programs. In these cartel disinformation-distorted public opinion surveys, they will see a large percentage of their constituents believe that climate change is a hoax, that the horrible climate consequences are many decades away (sometime after 2100, or that new technologies will save us at the last minute anyway so we do not have to make big fossil fuel cuts now.

A famous quote by the American humorist and author Mark Twain speaks volumes to this additional disinformation quagmire that the cartel has created within our politicians; 

"It is hard to teach a man something that his livelihood depends upon not knowing." Mark Twain

18. Please also consider and think about what the cartel has done in one more completely new way. Consider for a moment that you also have been secretly subjected to a 40-year-long global geoengineering experiment that no government has ever authorized. 

This secret geoengineering program is doing exactly what geoengineering programs are designed to do: they alter the global atmosphere, weather, oceans, or other critical Earth systems and conditions essential for ALL life to continue to exist. Worse yet, this secret geoengineering experiment is being conducted solely to increase the cartel's business profits. 

This geoengineering experiment has occurred because of decades of the cartel pumping toxic carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide into our atmosphere. But the most shocking evil here is that the creators of this geoengineering experiment have known for 40 years that their experimental geoengineering of our atmosphere would eventually cause billions of deaths and the extinction of thousands of biological species.

Therefore, unless we all also begin to see the cartel's despicable actions from the applicable new perspective of the cartel running a secret, unauthorized, and wildly dangerous geoengineering experiment, the cartel will continue its insane, greed-fueled mass extinction experiment until almost everything on Earth is dead.

We just created a new video with the Climate Emergency Forum. It answers this tough question with compelling evidence and describes how to finally get true climate change justice for all of humanity.

Can the inevitable and escalting climate change mass migration work to build America? Changes are coming that are unlike any other experienced during previous eras of rapid transformation.

Why does the ClimateSafe Villages nonprofit organization exist? Why are the wise preparing homes, businesses, and farms for rising climate change consequences?

The wraiths of climate change — floods, winds and fires — have finally hit a major pain nerve in our economic system.

Last updated 9.22.23. Newest updates in blue.

This model variation consists of a rural land-based community located in areas at LOW risk of climate damage and LOW social unrest.

Not everyone can or should migrate to the low-risk climate change zones. If you are over 50 without small children, we do not usually recommend migrating to a climate-safer area. Instead, we should save those minimal climate change-safer lands for younger people and their children so that they can live the longest and most securely.

That being said, individuals who choose these rural, land-based eco-communities could live separately in private homes, either near or even with each other in some form of communal housing. This type of rural land-based eco-community could also attract and build a large enough off eco-community site membership in the nearby area to be capable of exerting enough positive collective influence on its surrounding population as to gain some level of political influence and independence from the local rural culture and its economic and political activity.

To the surrounding larger rural community, these new eco-communities would appear not unlike any other "immigrant" or newcomer community with its own culture and social and commercial practices. For example, consider the many religious groups who are conspicuous because of dress, holiday observance, religious schooling, etc. While adopting many cultural changes in their newly relocated areas, these individuals will not appear any more out of place to the surrounding population than the range of existing immigrants or current norms. Instead, they would be well integrated into the fabric of the local community. These individuals would occasionally still be participating in the essential activities of the community surrounding them.

Wherever possible, they can use repurposed existing structures rather than building from scratch to minimize environmental impact and get started quickly.

What happens in this CSV rural model

A major and first part of your CSV member time will be involved with assisting your CSV community's and other members' efforts to prepare for and adapt to climate change and the 11 other worsening global crises. To do that effectively, this CSV community model will find ways to support and motivate each other in executing the many parts Parts (1, 2, 3, and 4) of the Job One for Humanity Climate Emergency and Resilience-Building Plan.

The comprehensive Job One Plan has taken over a decade of research to develop, and it covers everything that needs to be done. While it is not everything that can be done or should be done in any of our CSV models, it is always the first thingthat any CSV model must start and get done as soon as possible to protect its members from what is coming.

Here is a quick overview of the critical parts of the Job One Plan to help you improve the probability that you, your business, and your children will survive and thrive for as long and as comfortably as possible:

1. Part One covers all of the needed emergency catastrophe and recovery preparations, including how much space or land you will need for your essential food growing needs.

2. Part Two covers the necessary lifestyle and livelihood resilience-building adaptions that will be required.

3. Part Three covers all of the crucial climate change remedial actions our governments must execute now and that they should have started 60 years ago. 

4. Part Four covers what our politicians must do to force our governments to finally act. And,

5. At some point, the urban/suburban CSV community must reach out and help educate local politicians and government agency officials on the city areas they must address to build full local community climate change resilience. Click here for the list of critical whole local community-level resilience-building issues that must be completed before more major climate change tipping points are crossed.

This means that either mutually as a group or through your local CSV village coordinators, you will collectively and individually decide which actions within Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Job One for Humanity Plan you want to start first, second, third, etc. Each local ClimateSafe Village will have different situations, priorities, and resources; therefore, they may work on different Parts (1, 2, 3, and 4) of the Job One for Humanity Plan in different sequences and ways.

How long does it take to become climate change resilient in an urban or rural CSV community?

In general, if you are working part-time on the necessary emergency preparations and adaptations (described on this preparation page and this adaptation page), it will take 2 to 3 years to make your home or business in an urban CSV climate change-resilient. If you are building a rural CSV, you could easily be looking at 3 to 5 years. 

If you do it full-time, it will be quicker. Many things, like using permaculture to build high-quality food-growing soil, will still take several years to complete.

Construction companies are extremely busy dealing with the housing shortage and repairing climate change damage. Many of them will put you on a waiting list for up to six months or even a year or longer before they even start your remodeling, upgrading, or construction project.

What these additional long build-out times mean is that there is a real urgency to get started on your emergency preparations and adaptations today because after we cross critical climate change tipping points from 2025-2031, things will get much worse very fast. They also will continue to worsen from 203o to about 2050, which also means emergency and adaptation supplies will steadily be harder to get. And their costs will continually rise far faster than other commodities. 

This time-sensitive issue does not mean you should ever panic. You have adequate preparation and adaptation time before the worst consequences occur. This time-sensitive issue only means get busy today while you also "Keep calm and carry on."

Please note: We have also created a special online team project collaboration tool called BaseCamp for all members and CSVs. It is open to individuals actively helping to create any CSV community model. 

Here is the new cost estimator we are continuing to develop for the Bellingham Rural CSV. This cost estimator can be easily adapted to other rural or hybrid CSVs.

How to get a Rural CSV model started in your local area

1. Realize you are the coordinator and leader you have been waiting for. If you do not step forward as your area's initial or temporary local coordinator leader, the local CSV you will eventually need may not happen.

2. Contact your potentially interested friends or promote to other individuals in your area who you think could be interested in the many support, knowledge, and other advantages of co-creating a rural CSV. Do not forget to look over our individual member qualities list on this page to help focus your recruiting on the most ideal initial members to target for your recruiting.

3. Set up a relaxed in-person or Zoom-based "meet and greet" for these individuals to connect and see how they interact. (If you email [email protected] and give us a week's advance notice, we can search our many thousands of Job One for Humanity subscribers for people in your local area and forward your first "meet and greet" event promotion details only to those local individuals from our email lists who also might be interested.

4. Once you have a core group of people interested in working together and supporting each other, at your next meeting, collectively decide on which actions within Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Job One for Humanity Plan you want to start first, second, third, etc. Each local ClimateSafe Village will have different situations, priorities, and resources; therefore, they may decide to work on different Parts (1, 2, 3, and 4) of the Job One for Humanity Plan in different sequences and ways. (These Job One Plan first actions are strongly recommended for every CSV. )

5. Use what you have learned from our CSV online guide table of contents here and in our CSV frequently asked questions FAQ here to continue to run and manage your local urban CSV. Do not be afraid to be creative and flexible in finding new ways to create and motivate your local CSV to stay on course and still enjoy their lives.

6. Stay connected in the CSV private discussion forum and virtual CSV projects to get support for yourself and to network for new knowledge, tools, etc.

7. At some point, review how the detailed launch steps and other actions and policies found on the Bellingham CSV headquarters page here might help further expand the success of your local CSV. 

Every CSV model will require learning, experimentation, tinkering, and adaptability to the local human resource quality and availability, and other local resources and conditions. No two CSVs will ever be exactly alike. Continual mutation in new localized experiments is a good thing in evolutionary terms for long-term survival capable of surviving ever-evolving conditions.

Do not be afraid to bring your own ideas and style into your new CSV. Experiment, listen to the feedback, and adapt quickly.

How to finance a Rural ClimateSafe Village (CSV) or your own climate change resilience-building home or business upgrades.

There are many ways to finance the often costly emergency preparations and other adaptations you will need to do, even in an urban CSV, to become individually and collectively climate change resilient and well prepared for the many intensifying climate change consequences. (Not all of the items on the list below will apply to individual home or business upgrades.)

Here are a few of them:

1. Use your savings.
2. Put a percentage of your income into this action every paycheck.
3. Find a wealthy individual, relative, etc. (an angel donor/angel funder) who is willing to help you get started with initial needed finances,
4. Get a bank loan or loans from others, 
5. Crowdfunding, 
6. Get a loan from the slowly growing Slow Money Movement.
7. Green energy efficient mortgages (There are numerous green energy efficient mortgage types offering different benefits.) 
8. Get a government-backed loan and special tax credits. (There are such things depending on what you are planning to do.)
9. Form a non-profit and apply for grants,
10. Get a group of people together and share the costs of buying the land, building the structures, or upgrading and equipping existing structures and locations. To do this step safely and wisely, you must have clear cost and use sharing contracts and member contracts if you are in a rural or urban CSV. And if this is a collective land building purchase, you will need to have some legal/corporate structure that is capable of holding the land or buildings for the common good, like a nonprofit organization or conservation land trust. (We are currently working on creating all of the contracts and forms needed to do option six. At CSV, we believe that option six may be the fastest and most likely way to fund a new rural or urban CSV.
11. Some combination of one or more of the above funding options layered together as needed.

Please feel free to make additional suggestions for funding. At this time, we do not believe that turning the creation of rural or urban CSVs into any kind of profit-making investment scheme is wise. Humanity is facing the greatest existential threat to its existence and its history, and trying to profit from this with investment schemes that often go wrong or attract shady promoters is not anything that the CSV would want to be associated with.

Additional land, Home, and Building Flexible Design and Purchase Options for Rural CSVs

The Importance of Wise Cooperation with and between Urban, rural, hybrid, and Virtual ClimateSafe Villages

It will be wise for urban, rural, hybrid, and virtual CimateSafe Villages to maintain good communication and intelligent cooperation with the most isolated rural villages. The reason is simple. Urban and virtual village members may eventually become unsafe in many locations worldwide from 2035-2050. This is when climate change and other global crises are predicted near peak levels, and their members may eventually have to migrate to new, safer areas.

If urban and virtual CSV members have maintained good relations with the most isolated CSVs, at the minimum, they could have plenty of duplicate emergency supplies pre-stored there when needed. They may even be able to migrate to the more isolated villages if they had prearranged such agreements and had made all of the appropriate reciprocal exchanges. (For remote villages, these cross-village financial exchanges and services may also allow them to fund themselves better and grow even quicker.)

We are facing severe challenges and hardships that humanity has never encountered before. Maintaining good relations with other ClimateSafe Villages will be essential to "hedging" the longest-term survival for many ClimateSave Villages located in urban areas, close to mass migration routes, in highly populated areas, or for online-only members.

Please note: Some rural CSVs will collectively purchase land in two climate-safer locations simultaneously when they are being established. The second land purchase is almost always a more isolated rural location that would serve as a backup location in case some emergency would cause the CSV members to temporarily or permanently relocate to a fully prepared, safer, and more isolated location. This is an additional security strategy beyond creating a mutually beneficial bug-out relationship with pre-existing, more isolated rural CSVs. 

CSV Member Safety Application Tip

The Bellingham, Washington, the new CSV headquarters member application process found here, is particularly applicable to use in reverse to help you determine if you want to join a specific ClimateSafe Village. Before joining any CSV model anywhere in the world, we strongly recommend you use the applicable member application questions found here to interview the coordinator/leaders of that village to find out how well and how much they have screened their current members for potential problems or issues. The quality of individuals living cooperatively in any CSV will be a major factor in that CSV's long-term survival.

You could also use the CSV frequently asked questions list or the critical topics in our online guide table of contents to ask how that village will or is handling the issues you are most concerned about because every village is slightly different and runs itself. It may or may not follow some of the values, principles, and actions of the Bellingham headquarters CSV.

It is entirely in your hands to do your proper due diligence when investigating any legally independent CSV model or location as a possible place to join or relocate. Treat this evaluation process as one of the most important decisions you will ever make because it may well be as climate change and other factors worsen. 

Homes in rural CSVs

You will be able to build your own home, lease a pre-existing home, or hire an approved contractor to build a home on CSV-owned rural land.

More Potential Income and Ongoing Funding Sources for the ClimateSafe Villages and Their Members

Failed intentional communities and eco-villages did so most often because those communities did not have reliable and steady income sources for themselves or their members. Therefore, all CSVs must generate sustainable, fair exchange-based income for themselves and their members. This does not mean that building or running CSVs should ever be treated as an investment opportunity or a property development scheme for the profit of a few early-entry individuals. 

Most income sources within CSVs should be co-ops or community-owned and managed except for those individually owned businesses brought to or created within the community that are sustainable, eco-friendly, and meet that community member's approval and community standards. All co-ops or community-owned businesses within the community should also experiment with the new economic models of fair exchange and merit and responsibility-based incomes.

Here are just a few of the ways ClimateSafe Villages can fund or support themselves either before or once established and operational, but always in fair exchange and community-value congruent ways.

Income for CSVs:

1. Selling online educational courses on many community-related subjects and skills.

2. Selling online climate adaptation and resilience courses.

3. Selling at the eco-community on-site courses and day-long, weekend, or longer sustainability and organic gardening retreats.

4. Selling surplus organic food to the surrounding community.

5. Selling community and sustainably made crafts, art, and other products to the surrounding community.

6. Individual members running their on-site businesses, which are value-compatible with eco-community values.

7. Allowing retirees who want to live in net-zero homes within the community to contribute more significant amounts to help build or maintain the community because they may be unable to provide as much labor to help run the community.

8. Rural CSVs allow visitors to stay in their RVs for several weeks to experience CSV living. (They would have to build approved RV spaces, which could be a substantial income source. These rural CSVs could also offer organic meals to short- and longer-term community kitchen visitors.)

9. Housing leasing payments for homes, apartments, and dorm rooms constructed in rural CSVs on community-owned land.

10. Rural CSVs can lease agreed upon secure storage space or even vacant living spaces to urban or virtual CSV members for storage of emergency backup supplies and temporary or permanent occupancy during an emergency.

11. Community members might also develop climate change resilience-building consulting services or resilience remodeling services for the communities surrounding that CSV model.

12. Some CSV members might create small businesses to help other CSVs with their initial construction, remodeling, speciality survival equipment (solar, water capture, etc) or food-growing operations. They would temporarily move to a new CSV location and live there while helping that CSV get started.

13. Some CSVs might create a community-owned business that could provide other products like speciality survival equipment (like EMP shielding kits,) unique greenhouses, prefab homes, vertical hydroponics kits, dried food products capable of surviving years on a shelf, etc. These businesses could be driven from the advanced and always evolving CSV climate change, climate change resilience building, and food growing knowledge base, and could employ numerous community members.

14. Create a service that reviews and rates only the products that will be used in worldwide CSVs. This service could become highly-trusted because it would be executed with the integrity and thoroughness of a Consumer Reports type company.

15. Receiving donations from individuals who want to see our eco-community goals succeed. We are still working out our policies and possible exchanges to wisely accommodate the contributions of individuals who make considerably larger donations to get our eco-communities going, being maintained, or expanding. 

We understand and value that some wealthy individuals are ethical and honorable and see their wealth as a generational responsibility to use wisely to improve and protect humanity's well-being and future.

Things currently being considered for the larger donor start-up eco-community funding and contributions are as follows:

a. If the individual eco-community is a registered non-profit educational organization, large donors can be offered the standard donation tax deduction for that country. (We anticipate these eco-communities will be registered non-profit educational organizations. Each eco-community will determine its best legal structures as appropriate. 

b. Awarding large donors a week or longer for several years to live at the eco-community as a guest.

c. Allowing large donors to put their name on an eco-community structure or piece of equipment they fund.

d. Allowing large donors to join the eco-community and build a net-zero home for them and their children, but on the same terms applied to every new member.

e. We are also currently working on ways to be in fair exchange with any individuals or members who connect us to large donors and funding sources that help provide the seed finances to expedite the creation of any of the four models of eco-communities.

We can offer wealthy ethical individuals the safest place to have a home or apartment for themselves and their families as the anticipated large-scale extinction and collapse occurs. This is because they would be a part of a well-prepared eco-community with deep shared values, a commitment to mutual support and quality of life, and protection that could be relied upon, is something that money alone can never buy. These rural and hybrid eco-communities would also be located in the areas with the best survival probabilities for our current worsening global crises.

Helping to create these new eco-communities and having a home there is the ultimate insurance policy. So please click here to read about why many emergency survival plans used by the ultra-wealthy are not realistic and will likely fail.

When taking any large donations from the ultra-rich, we will carefully review their business history and past charity actions to see if they were, in general, ethical and reasonably compatible with our eco-community values and worldview. If you are fundraising for your eco-community, the wives, x-wives, children, and other relatives of an ultra-rich individual, who are also ultra-rich through divorce or inheritance, are usually better aligned with our values, worldview and can more easily pass our ethical donation review.

And finally, individuals who make large donations will be treated as any other eco-community member and be expected to participate in everyday shared community actions when they are residents in the eco-community. Great wealth or celebrity earns you no special treatment. We are evolving new social and economic systems that value merit but do not continue the economic distortions or imbalances of the past that have also contributed to our current 12 crises. 

"Only the wisest, most cooperative, and best-prepared individuals, families, and businesses living and working in highly value-aligned eco-communities with a deep and common worldview, which will give them the additional needed emotional and psychological resilience (in addition to the eco-community's physical resilience) will have the best possibility of surviving the worsening 12 global crises we all now face." Lawrence Wollersheim

16. We are also exploring and open to other eco-community value-compatible income sources for members and the eco-community. One such way is for younger adults to have their parents sponsor them and their initial expenses for building their net-zero homes in these new eco-communities. This is a common practice because parents often help their children enter their first homes. It is even more critical in this case as parents typically want to see their children survive and live longer lives. Another area we are exploring is crowdfunding apps like Kick Starter.

17. If we raise enough funding, as a community, we may pre-build all net-zero homes or apartments and long-term lease them to members or exchange their leasing fees for ongoing services rendered to the eco-community. Our ideal funding situation is to buy the land, build all of the necessary eco-community infrastructure, and simultaneously build all of the net-zero homes from the initial funding.

18. All members will be obligated to regularly contribute (most likely monthly) to fair, adequate, or, where appropriate, means-based financial support for the community. These membership payments will have clear guidelines for covering the costs of community administrators and for all reasonable administrative and related community costs required to maintain their CSV community model so that it can securely and continually forward and sustain the community's well-being.

Please also note that retired individuals or other individuals who cannot continue to work productively within these eco-communities will be allowed membership on a case-by-case basis. However, their initial and monthly financial contributions to the eco-community will be substantially larger than individuals who can provide the ongoing needed services to the eco-community.

Hybrid CSVs are the most flexible CSVs. They can evolve to become anything that will work for a group of people. They could even consist of a group of mobile individuals traveling in RVs and vans with transportable greenhouses and power systems migrating from place to place as conditions worsen.

Generally, the most common hybrid CSV has the advantage of members living in an urban or suburban area but still within commuting distance of a rural ClimateSafe Village. This specialized land-based community is built from the ground up with legal provisions completed.

This model excludes non-members from the full-time live-in area of the rural community but will allow members who live near the rural community facilities to visit, help with the internal projects, and be present there as agreed to by that community's members. It is likely that a hybrid community would allow members living near but outside that rural community to securely store additional emergency supplies in the hybrid rural community or even come to live there temporarily in a severe local emergency.

Hybrid communities should ideally be located in areas with a lower risk of climate change damage and well isolated from future climate refugees (climagees) mass migrations. Furthermore, hybrid communities can start fully financed and are intentionally designed to survive longer than stand-alone urban CSV models.

Unfortunately, these types of CSV will take years to build and require millions of dollars in financing.

What happens in this CSV model

A major and first part of your CSV member time will be involved with assisting your CSV community's and other members' efforts to prepare for and adapt to climate change and the 11 other worsening global crises. To do that effectively, this CSV community model will find ways to support and motivate each other in executing the many parts Parts (1, 2, 3, and 4) of the Job One for Humanity Climate Emergency and Resilience-Building Plan.

The comprehensive Job One Plan has taken over a decade of research to develop, and it covers everything that needs to be done. While it is not everything that can be done or should be done in any of our CSV models, it is always the first thing that any CSV model must start and get done as soon as possible to protect its members from what is coming.

Here is a quick overview of the critical parts of the Job One Plan to help you improve the probability that you, your business, and your children will survive and thrive for as long and as comfortably as possible:

1. Part One covers all of the needed emergency catastrophe and recovery preparations, including how much space or land you will need for your essential food growing needs.

2. Part Two covers the necessary lifestyle and livelihood resilience-building adaptions that will be required.

3. Part Three covers all of the crucial climate change remedial actions our governments must execute now and that they should have started 60 years ago. 

4. Part Four covers what our politicians must do to force our governments to finally act. And,

5. At some point, the urban/suburban CSV community must reach out and help educate local politicians and government agency officials on the city areas they must address to build full local community climate change resilience. Click here for the list of critical whole local community-level resilience-building issues that must be completed before more major climate change tipping points are crossed.

This means that either mutually as a group or through your local CSV village coordinators, you will collectively and individually decide which actions within Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Job One for Humanity Plan you want to start first, second, third, etc. Each local ClimateSafe Village will have different situations, priorities, and resources; therefore, they may work on different Parts (1, 2, 3, and 4) of the Job One for Humanity Plan in different sequences and ways.

Additional land, Home, and Building Flexible Design and Purchase Options for Rural CSVs (and Possibly Urban CSVs)

How to join a hybrid CSV community model:

This will also start the process for you to gain access to our private CSV discussion forum, help you locate a CSV location and model option right for you, and allow you to join one of our CSV advisory committees to add your knowledge, experience, and perspective.

2. Please fill in the following survey by clicking here.

3. Learn more about us by reviewing our CSV online guide table of contents here. Be sure to read at least our CSV quick overview page here.

4. If you have questions not covered in our CSV online guide please also check our CSV frequently asked questions FAQ here.

5. And finally, if you did not fill out the above survey,please email [email protected] to let us know:

a. which model of CSV do you want to join: the rural, urban, only virtual community or the Bellingham headquarters CSV,

b. that you want access to the private CSV group discussion forums,

c. let us know about your skills and experience, which would most apply to the CSV model you selected.

d. if you have remaining questions.

6. In your email to us, tell us that you agree to our online communication rules found here, and you agree to the principles found in our social contract found here. After we receive your email, our ClimateSafe Villages support team will get back to you within three business days or less with your next steps and possible other connections.

Please note: We also have set up a special online CSV team project collaboration tool called BaseCamp for all members and CSVs to use. It is open to individuals actively helping to create any CSV community model. 

Here is the new CSV cost estimator we continue developing for the Bellingham Rural CSV. This cost estimator can be easily adapted to other rural or hybrid CSVs.

How to get a Hybrid CSV model started in your local area

1. Realize you are the coordinator and leader you have been waiting for. If you do not step forward as your area's initial or temporary local coordinator leader, the local CSV you will eventually need may not happen.

2. Contact your potentially interested friends or promote to other individuals in your area who you think could be interested in the many support, knowledge, and other advantages of co-creating a hybrid CSV. Do not forget to look over our individual member qualities list on this page to help focus your recruiting on the most ideal initial members to target for your recruiting.

3. Set up a relaxed in-person or Zoom-based "meet and greet" for these individuals to connect and see how they interact. (If you email [email protected] and give us a week's advance notice, we can search our many thousands of Job One for Humanity subscribers for people in your local area and forward your first "meet and greet" event promotion details only to those local individuals from our email lists who also might be interested.

4. Once you have a core group of people interested in working together and supporting each other, at your next meeting, collectively decide on which actions within Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Job One for Humanity Plan you want to start first, second, third, etc. Each local ClimateSafe Village will have different situations, priorities, and resources; therefore, they may decide to work on different Parts (1, 2, 3, and 4) of the Job One for Humanity Plan in different sequences and ways. (These Job One Plan first actions are strongly recommended for every CSV. )

5. Use what you have learned from our CSV online guide table of contents here and in our CSV frequently asked questions FAQ here to continue to run and manage your local urban CSV. Do not be afraid to be creative and flexible in finding new ways to create and motivate your local CSV to stay on course and still enjoy their lives.

6. Stay connected in the CSV private discussion forum and virtual CSV projects to get support for yourself and to network for new knowledge, tools, etc.

7. At some point, review how the detailed launch steps and other actions and policies found on the Bellingham CSV headquarters page here might help further expand the success of your local CSV. 

Every CSV model will require learning, experimentation, tinkering, and adaptability to the local human resource quality and availability, and other local resources and conditions. No two CSVs will ever be exactly alike. Continual mutation in new localized experiments is a good thing in evolutionary terms for long-term survival capable of surviving ever-evolving conditions.

Our worldwide online Virtual ClimateSafe Villages model has started. It is our fastest-growing CSV model. Anyone can join our virtual CSV as long as they follow our online rules, our community guidelines, and social contract.

Click here to see our online communication rules.

Many people love it because it is so easy to get involved in. Others like it because it is always there to connect them to the personal support and the human connection most of us need. It is particularly useful when there is a climate or other emergency or lockdown where you can still be connected to others and share needed information and assistance.

Our ClimateSafe Village online discussion forum has several hundred participants in just its first months. We have also created advisory committees for the various topics involved in creating CSVs worldwide. These advisory committees work in a powerful online team collaboration project tool called BaseCamp, which is like Slack and allows you to do all kinds of collaborative work as a group. (Check out the excellent online BaseCamp collaboration tool here.)

The virtual community also sponsors regular online Google Meet video events for specific subjects like organic gardening and soil maintenance to general CSV meetings on particular projects.

Our online virtual village and virtual community are designed to help create, support, and connect all the different CSV community models worldwide and quickly assemble and share all of the information that is not found in our online guide table of contents here. 

The CSV virtual community empowers every worldwide community and is fun to participate in. It is our main inter-member, inter-community communication tool until we add additional online community education tools as needed.

In summary, our virtual village aims to connect physically remote individuals and members worldwide who share common ClimateSafe Villages values, or are currently unable to move into existing urban, rural, or hybrid communities or do not generally live close to each other.

A high-priority activity for the Virtual CSV community will be helping and supporting each individual and community to complete the critical actions of the Job One Plan (particularly Parts 1 and 2) before 2025-2031. 

Our Virtual ClimateSafe Village model will not be able to do everything our rural or urban land-based eco-communities can do because they are online. Still, they can provide valuable additional support, motivation, and information to those not close to each other physically. 

Several factors unite virtual members into an online eco-community:

1. They share common community values and climate change facts. (As found in this online guide and on the Job One website.)

2. They can contact other online community members for mutual support in getting through the Job One plan (particularly Parts 1 and 2) before 2025-2031. 

3. They can turn to the online community for reliable information about climate change migration, resource depletion, permaculture, net-zero home design, emergency medicine, construction, etc. 

4. Our online community will collect climate and social truth information related to their subject of interest and add it to specialized online knowledge forums and databases. These forums and databases will have novel provisions that achieve the following:

The information is easily accessible, even for complex subjects.

Data is entered in a form that allows biases to be spotted.

Knowledge entries are "comprehensive." That is, "mainstream" control is eliminated.

The information capture process overcomes the significant flaws that have disabled most internet discussions and communications.

Commercial firms or governments will no longer control knowledge with political or other biases.

All members will have no-cost access to the database to find and read information and contribute knowledge.

This combination of provisions gives a virtual eco-community membership great value because it will provide a new level of visibility for people and organizations worldwide and easy access to the highest levels of natural truth. Specifically:

They can discover wisdom and creativity in the new concepts presented by the eco-community models.

They see the personal, social, and possibly professional benefits of applying the new concepts to their efforts.

They see the benefits of belonging to the eco-community for the unique safety and security networking opportunities it will provide them.

They will come to understand the survival need for the mutual support these collaborative and supportive virtual sustainable communities can bring. 

They will eventually see within themselves the qualities and aspirations sought within the eco-community principles and values.

They will see in themselves unique talents that will contribute to and be acknowledged for improving the eco-community's efforts and the world as a whole.

To ensure our online virtual community runs smoothly, we have adopted a set of online communication rules to keep our virtual eco-community safe, civil, and secure. These online rules are similar to the online communication rules used by most well-run online communities. Click here to see our online communication rules.

In addition to our online communication rules, all virtual community prospective members must sign off on and agree to follow our facilitating Social Contract. To view a fundamental social contract for this community model, click here. 

Each CSV community model creates its application process using as many or as few advanced community application steps as found on this page.

What happens in this Virtual CSV model

A major and first part of your CSV member online time will be involved with assisting your CSV community's and other members' efforts to prepare for and adapt to climate change and the 11 other worsening global crises. To do that effectively, this CSV community model will find ways to support and motivate each other in executing the many parts Parts (1, 2, 3, and 4) of the Job One for Humanity Climate Emergency and Resilience-Building Plan.

The comprehensive Job One Plan has taken over a decade of research to develop, and it covers everything that needs to be done. While it is not everything that can be done or should be done in any of our CSV models, it is always the first thing that any CSV model must start and get done as soon as possible to protect its members from what is coming.

Here is a quick overview of the critical parts of the Job One Plan to help you improve the probability that you, your business, and your children will survive and thrive for as long and as comfortably as is possible:

1. Part One covers all of the needed emergency catastrophe and recovery preparations, including how much space or land you will need for your essential food growing needs.

2. Part Two covers the necessary lifestyle and livelihood resilience-building adaptions that will be required.

3. Part Three covers all of the crucial climate change remedial actions our governments must execute now and that they should have started 60 years ago. 

4. Part Four covers what our politicians must do to force our governments to finally act. And,

5. At some point, the urban/suburban CSV community must reach out and help educate local politicians and government agency officials on the city areas they must address to build full local community climate change resilience. Click here for the list of critical whole local community-level resilience-building issues that must be completed before more major climate change tipping points are crossed.

This means that either mutually as a group or through your local CSV village coordinators, you will collectively and individually decide which actions within Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Job One for Humanity Plan you want to start first, second, third, etc. Each local ClimateSafe Village will have different situations, priorities, and resources; therefore, they may work on different Parts (1, 2, 3, and 4) of the Job One for Humanity Plan in different sequences and ways.

More Potential Income and Ongoing Funding Sources for the ClimateSafe Villages and Their Members

Failed intentional communities and eco-villages did so most often because those communities did not have reliable and steady income sources for themselves or their members. Therefore, all CSVs must generate sustainable, fair exchange-based income for themselves and their members. This does not mean that building or running CSVs should ever be treated as an investment opportunity or a property development scheme for the profit of a few early-entry individuals. 

Most income sources within CSVs should be co-ops or community-owned and managed except for those individually owned businesses brought to or created within the community that are sustainable, eco-friendly, and meet that community member's approval and community standards. All co-ops or community-owned businesses within the community should also experiment with the new economic models of fair exchange and merit and responsibility-based incomes.

Here are just a few of the ways ClimateSafe Villages can fund or support themselves either before or once established and operational, but always in fair exchange and community-value congruent ways.

Income for CSVs:

1. Selling online educational courses on many community-related subjects and skills.

2. Selling online climate adaptation and resilience courses.

3. Selling at the eco-community on-site courses and day-long, weekend, or longer sustainability and organic gardening retreats.

4. Selling surplus organic food to the surrounding community.

5. Selling community and sustainably made crafts, art, and other products to the surrounding community.

6. Individual members running their on-site businesses, which are value-compatible with eco-community values.

7. Allowing retirees who want to live in net-zero homes within the community to contribute more significant amounts to help build or maintain the community because they may be unable to provide as much labor to help run the community.

8. Rural CSVs allow visitors to stay in their RVs for several weeks to experience CSV living. (They would have to build approved RV spaces, which could be a substantial income source. These rural CSVs could also offer organic meals to short- and longer-term community kitchen visitors.)

9. Housing leasing payments for homes, apartments, and dorm rooms constructed in rural CSVs on community-owned land.

10. Rural CSVs can lease agreed upon secure storage space or even vacant living spaces to urban or virtual CSV members for storage of emergency backup supplies and temporary or permanent occupancy during an emergency.

11. Community members might also develop climate change resilience-building consulting services or resilience remodeling services for the communities surrounding that CSV model.

12. Some CSV members might create small businesses to help other CSVs with their initial construction, remodeling, speciality survival equipment (solar, water capture, etc) or food-growing operations. They would temporarily move to a new CSV location and live there while helping that CSV get started.

13. Some CSVs might create a community-owned business that could provide other products like speciality survival equipment (like EMP shielding kits,) unique greenhouses, prefab homes, vertical hydroponics kits, dried food products capable of surviving years on a shelf, etc. These businesses could be driven from the advanced and always evolving CSV climate change, climate change resilience building, and food growing knowledge base, and could employ numerous community members.

14. Create a service that reviews and rates only the products that will be used in worldwide CSVs. This service could become highly-trusted because it would be executed with the integrity and thoroughness of a Consumer Reports type company.

15. Receiving donations from individuals who want to see our eco-community goals succeed. We are still working out our policies and possible exchanges to wisely accommodate the contributions of individuals who make considerably larger donations to get our eco-communities going, being maintained, or expanding. 

We understand and value that some wealthy individuals are ethical and honorable and see their wealth as a generational responsibility to use wisely to improve and protect humanity's well-being and future.

Things currently being considered for the larger donor start-up eco-community funding and contributions are as follows:

a. If the individual eco-community is a registered non-profit educational organization, large donors can be offered the standard donation tax deduction for that country. (We anticipate these eco-communities will be registered non-profit educational organizations. Each eco-community will determine its best legal structures as appropriate. 

b. Awarding large donors a week or longer for several years to live at the eco-community as a guest.

c. Allowing large donors to put their name on an eco-community structure or piece of equipment they fund.

d. Allowing large donors to join the eco-community and build a net-zero home for them and their children, but on the same terms applied to every new member.

e. We are also currently working on ways to be in fair exchange with any individuals or members who connect us to large donors and funding sources that help provide the seed finances to expedite the creation of any of the four models of eco-communities.

We can offer wealthy ethical individuals the safest place to have a home or apartment for themselves and their families as the anticipated large-scale extinction and collapse occurs. This is because they would be a part of a well-prepared eco-community with deep shared values, a commitment to mutual support and quality of life, and protection that could be relied upon, is something that money alone can never buy. These rural and hybrid eco-communities would also be located in the areas with the best survival probabilities for our current worsening global crises.

Helping to create these new eco-communities and having a home there is the ultimate insurance policy. So please click here to read about why many emergency survival plans used by the ultra-wealthy are not realistic and will likely fail.

When taking any large donations from the ultra-rich, we will carefully review their business history and past charity actions to see if they were, in general, ethical and reasonably compatible with our eco-community values and worldview. If you are fundraising for your eco-community, the wives, x-wives, children, and other relatives of an ultra-rich individual, who are also ultra-rich through divorce or inheritance, are usually better aligned with our values, worldview and can more easily pass our ethical donation review.

And finally, individuals who make large donations will be treated as any other eco-community member and be expected to participate in everyday shared community actions when they are residents in the eco-community. Great wealth or celebrity earns you no special treatment. We are evolving new social and economic systems that value merit but do not continue the economic distortions or imbalances of the past that have also contributed to our current 12 crises. 

"Only the wisest, most cooperative, and best-prepared individuals, families, and businesses living and working in highly value-aligned eco-communities with a deep and common worldview, which will give them the additional needed emotional and psychological resilience (in addition to the eco-community's physical resilience) will have the best possibility of surviving the worsening 12 global crises we all now face." Lawrence Wollersheim

16. We are also exploring and open to other eco-community value-compatible income sources for members and the eco-community. One such way is for younger adults to have their parents sponsor them and their initial expenses for building their net-zero homes in these new eco-communities. This is a common practice because parents often help their children enter their first homes. It is even more critical in this case as parents typically want to see their children survive and live longer lives. Another area we are exploring is crowdfunding apps like Kick Starter.

17. If we raise enough funding, as a community, we may pre-build all net-zero homes or apartments and long-term lease them to members or exchange their leasing fees for ongoing services rendered to the eco-community. Our ideal funding situation is to buy the land, build all of the necessary eco-community infrastructure, and simultaneously build all of the net-zero homes from the initial funding.

18. All members will be obligated to regularly contribute (most likely monthly) to fair, adequate, or, where appropriate, means-based financial support for the community. These membership payments will have clear guidelines for covering the costs of community administrators and for all reasonable administrative and related community costs required to maintain their CSV community model so that it can securely and continually forward and sustain the community's well-being.

Please also note that retired individuals or other individuals who cannot continue to work productively within these eco-communities will be allowed membership on a case-by-case basis. However, their initial and monthly financial contributions to the eco-community will be substantially larger than individuals who can provide the ongoing needed services to the eco-community.

Last Updated 9.29.23 Newest updates in blue.

At least initially, we believe that far more individuals will be setting up stay-where-you-are local urban, suburban, and rural "survive and thrive" preparation and resilience ClimateSafe Villages than migrating to rural climate change safer areas and creating entirely new sustainable communities, as described elsewhere on this page. We expect most rural CSVs (in the following section below) to grow directly out of and from nearby Urban CSVs where urban members want to eventually create an increased level of climate change resilience by creating a rural CSV. 

Suppose you do not have the means to migrate to a safer climate change area. In that case, we strongly recommend you get with friends of similar beliefs and values in any urban or suburban area where you currently reside and create a "survive to thrive" preparation and resilience ClimateSafe village.

The stay-where-you-are local urban and suburban model is also a great first stepping stone into the many changes a person or family must make to prepare for and adapt to climate change and the other consequences we will soon face.

The preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building stay-where-you-are local model

These stay-where-you-are urban CSV communities can be located in any urban or suburban area. Its members are close enough to meet physically but usually live in separate housing. 

Membership in these stay-where-you-are ClimateSafe Villages gives its members the benefit of unique "survive and thrive" knowledge, companionship, shared emergency preparation, adaptations, and resilience-building support. They also offer significantly more self and collective protection during the worst of an extended crisis. This stay-where-you-are model can also creatively incorporate many ClimateSafe Village essential values, principles, and structures.

Their culture, commercial, and legal structures in these urban, suburban, and rural models can vary widely. In addition, each location will likely have its own local projects and membership requirements.

Here is a summary of the typical steps you would take to begin acting in one of these communities after being accepted for membership.

1. You will receive getting-started informational support material from your local ClimateSafe Village leader.

2. Your new part-time role in this eco-community will depend on many factors, like your type of current housing and its location, what you do for employment, any special skills you have, your skill levels in those areas, any public roles or positions you currently have, your interests and hobbies, etc. In addition, understanding why you chose to join the eco-community and what you want to contribute will also be necessary for your fellow village members.

Based on this information, you will be given contact information for other members in your area to help you connect with them and meet, zoom call, or phone call with others in the community to get you started learning about the other members in your village. In addition, we recommend that local village leaders set up a Zoom-type group video "question and answers" session for those potential new members most interested in getting started in this ClimateSafe Village model in your area.

Regarding your local village membership, the following elements will remain true:

You will continue to live in your current housing situation.

You will continue to work in your current employment.

What happens in this CSV urban model

A major and first part of your CSV member time will be involved with assisting your CSV community's and other member's efforts to prepare for and adapt to climate change and the 11 other worsening global crises. To do that effectively, this CSV community model will find ways to support and motivate each other in executing the many parts Parts (1, 2, 3 and 4) of the Job One for Humanity Climate Emergency and Resilience-Building Plan.

The comprehensive Job One Plan has taken over a decade of research to develop and it covers everything that need to be done. While it is not everything that can be done or should be done in any of our CSV models, it is always the first thing that any CSV model must start and get done as soon as possible to protect its members from what is coming.

Here is a quick overview of the critical parts of the Job One Plan to help you improve the probability that you, your business, and your children will survive and thrive for as long and as comfortably as is possible:

1. Part One covers all of the needed emergency catastrophe and recovery preparations, including how much space or land you will need for your essential food growing needs.

2. Part Two covers the necessary lifestyle and livelihood resilience building adaptions that will be required.

3. Part Three covers all of the crucial climate change remedial actions our governments must execute now and that they should have started 60 years ago. 

4. Part Four covers what our politicians must do to force our governments to finally act. And,

5. At some point, the urban/suburban CSV community must reach out and help educate local politicians and government agency officials on the city areas they must address to build full local community climate change resilience. Click here for the list of critical whole local community-level resilience-building issues that must be completed before more major climate change tipping points are crossed.

This means that either mutually as a group or through your local CSV village coordinators, you will collectively and individually decide which actions within Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Job One for Humanity Plan you want to start first, second, third, etc. Each local ClimateSafe Village will have different situations, priorities and resources; therefore, they may work on different Parts (1, 2, and 3 and 4) of the Job One for Humanity Plan in different sequences and ways.

You can also become a coordinator/leader for various village projects and efforts as you "learn your way around the eco-community.

As a community member, you will have access to all the preparedness, sustainability, resilience, and management guidance information developed by any other ClimateSafe Villages model. 

There are many wise and practical actions that each local eco-community can plan, sequence in the best priority for their local situation and resources, and then enact. 

Here are just a few examples of of the preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building actions that will eventually need to happen in your local stay-where-you-are local urban, suburban, or rural model

a. The local hub communities must encourage their members and local citizens to start growing organic gardens everywhere to ensure an adequate and reliable food supply. Every home or building rooftop in urban areas will need a big garden to survive the worst of what is coming. Hydroponics and aquaponics will also help build food security in urban or limited land areas. You won't be able to produce every food item you want, but if you produce a surplus in your gardens, you can trade with each other or individuals outside the ClimateSafe Village for other things you will need.

b. The local eco-community must enhance and secure its energy system against extreme climate consequences. Encouraging members to get solar and/or wind on their property is a basic step.  

c. The local eco-community must begin quickly to protect its drinking water and sewage systems against intensified rain bombs, river and lake flooding, sea level rise, and other extreme climate consequences. Home or business water capture and water filtration systems are a good start. 

d. Help your outside local community understand critical medical facilities, critical commodity warehouses, and other critical infrastructure and services that must be supplied and fortified against the escalating climate change and these related consequences. (Here is a new handout flyer to help you get your local politicians and leaders thinking about the rapidly approaching climate disasters that will affect many of these communities far faster than they are prepared for.)

e. There are also many other things your local stay-where-you-are local urban, suburban, or rural model can do to help get your outside the ClimateSafe Village local community prepared to deal with what is coming, including creating a plan and reserving supplies for how to fairly and humanely deal with growing numbers of destitute and desperate climate migrants (climagees) who soon will coming from the climate unsafe areas be seeking refuge in your city, suburb or rural area.

Unfortunately, with this stay-where-you-are local urban, suburban, and rural model, if you are not already in a climate-safer area, there will come a point when it will no longer be safe for your group to remain in some urban, suburban, or rural area. Every stay-where-you-are urban, suburban, and rural satellite model should consider this possibility carefully and plan for it and its timetable long in advance.

Suppose you are currently in a climate change high-risk area. Eventually, you will have to buy some fertile land as a temporary or longer-term eco-community emergency backup and "bug-out" space. In addition, this emergency backup bug-out land would also need to be pre-stocked with everything your eco-community would need to survive for months to as long as years. In addition, you would have to have the means to transport and defend everything you will need at that new eco-community bug-out location. The painful truth is that unless you are already in a climate change-safer location to begin with, at some point, you will probably be forced to move if you want to survive.

Please note that urban and suburban ClimateSafe Villages inherently may not be able to do as much food growing as rural land-based ClimateSafe Villages because the land owned by urban and suburban members is most likely not connected and contagious. But urban and suburban members can get creative and, through networking, sharing, and trading, accomplish much of the necessary climate change preparation and adaptation.

To view a fundamental social contract for this ClimateSafe Villages community model, click here. 

How long does becoming climate change resilient in an urban CSV community take?

In general, if you are working part-time on the necessary emergency preparations and adaptations (described on this preparation page and this adaptation page), it will take 2 to 3 years to make your home or business in an urban CSV climate change-resilient. If you are building a rural CSV, you could easily be looking at 3 to 5 years. 

If you do it full-time, it will be quicker. Many things, like using permaculture to build high-quality food-growing soil, will still take several years to complete.

Construction companies are extremely busy dealing with the housing shortage and repairing climate change damage. Many of them will put you on a waiting list for up to six months or even a year or longer before they even start your remodeling, upgrading, or construction project.

What these additional long build-out times mean is that there is a real urgency to get started on your emergency preparations and adaptations today because after we cross critical climate change tipping points from 2025-2031, things will get much worse very fast. They also will continue to worsen from 203o to about 2050, which also means emergency and adaptation supplies will steadily be harder to get. And their costs will continually rise far faster than other commodities. 

This time-sensitive issue does not mean you should ever panic. You have adequate preparation and adaptation time before the worst consequences occur. This time-sensitive issue only means get busy today while you also "Keep calm and carry on."

If you have not done so already, join this "survive and thrive" ClimateSafe Village by clicking the Join link on this page. This will also start the process for you to gain access to our private CSV discussion forum, help you locate a CSV location and model option right for you, and allow you to join one of our CSV advisory committees to add your knowledge, experience, and perspective.

2. Please fill in the following survey by clicking here.

3. Learn more about us by reviewing our CSV online guide table of contents here. Be sure to read at least our CSV quick overview page here.

4. If you have questions not covered in our CSV online guide, please also check our CSV frequently asked questions FAQ here.

5. And finally, if you did not fill out the above survey, please email [email protected] to let us know:

a. which model of CSV do you want to join: the rural, urban, only virtual community or the Bellingham headquarters CSV,

b. that you want access to the private CSV group discussion forums, 

c. let us know about your skills and experience, which would most apply to the CSV model you selected.

d. if you have remaining questions.

6. In your email to us, tell us that you agree to our online communication rules found here, and you agree to the principles found in our social contract found here. After we receive your email, our ClimateSafe Villages support team will get back to you within three business days or less with your next steps and possible other connections. In addition, they may ask for additional information before accepting you as a member, depending on the information you provide in your email. 

7. Become a subscriber on the Job One for Humanity website by going to the Sign-in link at the top left of every page and creating a new subscriber account. Then, go to your personal profile area as a new user and fill in as much information as possible. This unique profile information will be kept confidential and will help us connect you with the right support team. The Job One website will provide the latest climate change news and alerts.

Please note: We also have set up a special online team project collaboration tool called BaseCamp for all members and CSVs. It is open to individuals actively helping to create any CSV community model. 

How to get an Urban CSV model started in your local area

1. Realize you are the coordinator and leader you have been waiting for. If you do not step forward as your area's initial or temporary local coordinator leader, the local CSV you will eventually need may not happen.

2. Contact your potentially interested friends or promote to other individuals in your area who you think could be interested in the many support, knowledge, and other advantages of co-creating an urban CSV. Do not forget to look over our individual member qualities list on this page to help focus your recruiting on the most ideal initial members to target for your recruiting.

3. Set up a relaxed in-person or Zoom-based "meet and greet" for these individuals to connect and see how they interact. (If you email [email protected] and give us a week's advance notice, we can search our many thousands of Job One for Humanity subscribers for people in your local area and forward your first "meet and greet" event promotion details only to those local individuals from our email lists who also might be interested.

4. Once you have a core group of people interested in working together and supporting each other, at your next meeting, collectively decide on which actions within Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Job One for Humanity Plan you want to start first, second, third, etc. Each local ClimateSafe Village will have different situations, priorities, and resources; therefore, they may decide to work on different Parts (1, 2, 3, and 4) of the Job One for Humanity Plan in different sequences and ways. (These Job One Plan first actions are strongly recommended for every CSV. )

5. Use what you have learned from our CSV online guide table of contents here and in our CSV frequently asked questions FAQ here to continue to run and manage your local urban CSV. Do not be afraid to be creative and flexible in finding new ways to create and motivate your local CSV to stay on course and still enjoy their lives.

6. Stay connected in the CSV private discussion forum and virtual CSV projects to get support for yourself and to network for new knowledge, tools, etc.

7. At some point, review how the detailed launch steps and other actions and policies found on the Bellingham CSV headquarters page here might help further expand the success of your local CSV. 

8. To view a basic social contract for any CSV model, click here. 

Please note: We also have set up a special online team project collaboration tool called BaseCamp for all CSVs to use. It is open to individuals actively helping to create any CSV community model. 

Every CSV model will require learning, experimentation, tinkering, and adaptability to the local human resource quality and availability, and other local resources and conditions. No two CSVs will ever be exactly alike. Continual mutation in new localized experiments is a good thing in evolutionary terms for long-term survival capable of surviving ever-evolving conditions. Do not be afraid to bring your own ideas and style into your new CSV. Experiment, listen to the feedback, and adapt quickly.

How to finance an urban ClimateSafe Village (CSV) or your own climate change resilience-building home or business upgrades.

There are many ways to finance the often costly emergency preparations and other adaptations you will need to do, even in an urban CSV, to become individually and collectively climate change resilient and well prepared for the many intensifying climate change consequences. (Not all of the items on the list below will apply to individual home or business upgrades.)

Here are a few of them:

1. Use your savings.
2. Put a percentage of your income into this action every paycheck.
3. Find a wealthy individual, relative, etc. (an angel donor/angel funder) who is willing to help you get started with initial needed finances,
4. Get a bank loan or loans from others, 
5. Crowdfunding, 
6. Get a loan from the slowly growing Slow Money Movement.
7. Green energy efficient mortgages (There are numerous green energy efficient mortgage types offering different benefits.) 
8. Get a government-backed loan and special tax credits. (There are such things depending on what you are planning to do.)
9. Form a non-profit and apply for grants,
10. Get a group of people together and share the costs of buying the land, building the structures, or upgrading and equipping existing structures and locations. To do this step safely and wisely, you must have clear cost and use sharing contracts and member contracts if you are in a rural or urban CSV. And if this is a collective land building purchase, you will need to have some legal/corporate structure that is capable of holding the land or buildings for the common good, like a nonprofit organization or conservation land trust. (We are currently working on creating all of the contracts and forms needed to do option six. At CSV, we believe that option six may be the fastest and most likely way to fund a new rural or urban CSV.
11. Some combination of one or more of the above funding options layered together as needed.

Please feel free to make additional suggestions for funding. At this time, we do not believe that turning the creation of rural or urban CSVs into any kind of profit-making investment scheme is wise. Humanity is facing the greatest existential threat to its existence and its history, and trying to profit from this with investment schemes that often go wrong or attract shady promoters is not anything that the CSV would want to be associated with.

The Importance of Wise Cooperation with and between Urban, rural, hybrid, and Virtual ClimateSafe Villages

It will be wise for urban, rural, hybrid, and virtual CimateSafe Villages to maintain good communication and intelligent cooperation with the most isolated rural villages. The reason is simple. Urban and virtual village members may eventually become unsafe in many locations worldwide from 2035-2050. This is when climate change and other global crises are predicted near peak levels, and their members may eventually have to migrate to new, safer areas.

If urban and virtual CSV members have maintained good relations with the most isolated CSVs, at the minimum, they could have plenty of duplicate emergency supplies pre-stored there when needed. They may even be able to migrate to the more isolated villages if they had prearranged such agreements and had made all of the appropriate reciprocal exchanges. (For remote villages, these cross-village financial exchanges and services may also allow them to fund themselves better and grow even quicker.)

We are facing severe challenges and hardships that humanity has never encountered before. Maintaining good relations with other ClimateSafe Villages will be essential to "hedging" the longest-term survival for many ClimateSave Villages located in urban areas, close to mass migration routes, in highly populated areas, or for online-only members.

CSV Member Safety Application Tip

The Bellingham, Washington, the new CSV headquarters member application process found here, is particularly applicable to use in reverse to help you determine if you want to join any specific ClimateSafe Village. Before joining any CSV model anywhere in the world, we strongly recommend you use the applicable member application questions found here to interview the coordinator/leaders of that particular village to find out how well and how much they have screened their current members for potential problems or issues. The quality of individuals living cooperatively in any CSV will be a major factor in that CSV's long-term survival.

You could also use the CSV frequently asked questions list or the critical topics in our online guide table of contents to ask how that village will or is handling the issues you are most concerned about because every village is slightly different and runs itself. It may or may not follow some of the values, principles, and actions of the Bellingham headquarters CSV.

It is entirely in your hands to do your proper due diligence when investigating any legally independent CSV model or location as a possible place to join or relocate. Treat this evaluation process as one of the most important decisions you will ever make because it may well be as climate change and other factors worsen. 

More Potential Income/Funding Sources for the ClimateSafe Villages and Their Members

Communities that have failed most often because they did not have reliable and steady income sources. While these communities need to generate sustainable and fair exchange-based income for themselves and their members, this does not mean that the building of these new communities themselves should ever be treated as or become an investment opportunity or a property development scheme for the profit of a few early-entry individuals. 

Here are just a few of the ways ClimateSafe Villages can fund or support themselves either before or once established and operational in fair exchange and community-value congruent ways:

1. Selling online educational courses on many community-related subjects and skills.

2. Selling online climate adaptation and resilience courses.

3. Selling at the eco-community on-site courses and day-long, weekend, or longer sustainability and organic gardening retreats.

4. Selling surplus organic food to the surrounding community.

5. Selling community and sustainably made crafts, art, and other products to the surrounding community.

6. Individual members running their on-site businesses, which are value-compatible with eco-community values.

7. Allowing retirees who want to live in net-zero homes within the community to contribute more significant amounts to help build or maintain the community because they may be unable to provide as much labor to help run the community.

8. Rural CSVs allow visitors to stay in their RVs for several weeks to experience CSV living. (They would have to build approved RV spaces, which could be a substantial income source. These rural CSVs could also offer organic meals to short- and longer-term community kitchen visitors.)

9. Housing leasing payments for homes, apartments, and dorm rooms constructed in rural CSVs on community-owned land.

10. Rural CSVs can lease agreed upon storage space or even vacant living spaces to urban or virtual CSV members for storage of emergency backup supplies and temporary or permanent occupancy during an emergency.

11. Community members might also develop climate change resilience-building consulting services or resilience remodeling services for the communities surrounding that CSV model.

12. Some CSV members might create small businesses to help other CSVs with their initial construction, remodeling, or food-growing operations. They would temporarily move to a new CSV location and live there while helping that CSV get started.

13. Some CSVs might create a community-owned business that could provide other products like unique greenhouses, prefab homes, vertical hydroponics kits, EMP shielding kits, dried food products capable of surviving years on a shelf, etc. These businesses would directly come from the advanced CSV Climate change and food growing knowledge base and could employ numerous community members.

14. Receiving donations from individuals who want to see our eco-community goals succeed. We are still working out our policies and possible exchanges to wisely accommodate the contributions of individuals who make considerably larger donations to get our eco-communities going, being maintained, or expanding. 

We understand and value that some wealthy individuals are ethical and honorable and see their wealth as a generational responsibility to use wisely to improve and protect humanity's well-being and future.

Things currently being considered for the larger donor start-up eco-community funding and contributions are as follows:

a. If the individual eco-community is a registered non-profit educational organization, large donors can be offered the standard donation tax deduction for that country. (We anticipate these eco-communities will be registered non-profit educational organizations. Each eco-community will determine its best legal structures as appropriate. 

b. Awarding large donors a week or longer for several years to live at the eco-community as a guest.

c. Allowing large donors to put their name on an eco-community structure or piece of equipment they fund.

d. Allowing large donors to join the eco-community and build a net-zero home for them and their children, but on the same terms applied to every new member.

e. We are also currently working on ways to be in fair exchange with any individuals or members who connect us to large donors and funding sources that help provide the seed finances to expedite the creation of any of the four models of eco-communities.

We can offer wealthy ethical individuals the safest place to have a home or apartment for themselves and their families as the anticipated large-scale extinction and collapse occurs. This is because they would be a part of a well-prepared eco-community with deep shared values, a commitment to mutual support and quality of life, and protection that could be relied upon, is something that money alone can never buy. These rural and hybrid eco-communities would also be located in the areas with the best survival probabilities for our current worsening global crises.

Helping to create these new eco-communities and having a home there is the ultimate insurance policy. So please click here to read about why many emergency survival plans used by the ultra-wealthy are not realistic and will likely fail.

When taking any large donations from the ultra-rich, we will carefully review their business history and past charity actions to see if they were, in general, ethical and reasonably compatible with our eco-community values and worldview. If you are fundraising for your eco-community, the wives, x-wives, children, and other relatives of an ultra-rich individual, who are also ultra-rich through divorce or inheritance, are usually better aligned with our values, worldview and can more easily pass our ethical donation review.

And finally, individuals who make large donations will be treated as any other eco-community member and be expected to participate in everyday shared community actions when they are residents in the eco-community. Great wealth or celebrity earns you no special treatment. We are evolving new social and economic systems that value merit but do not continue the economic distortions or imbalances of the past that have also contributed to our current 12 crises. 

"Only the wisest, most cooperative, and best-prepared individuals, families, and businesses living and working in highly value-aligned eco-communities with a deep and common worldview, which will give them the additional needed emotional and psychological resilience (in addition to the eco-community's physical resilience) will have the best possibility of surviving the worsening 12 global crises we all now face." Lawrence Wollersheim

15. We are also exploring and open to other eco-community value-compatible income sources for members and the eco-community. One such way is for younger adults to have their parents sponsor them and their initial expenses for building their net-zero homes in these new eco-communities. This is a common practice because parents often help their children enter their first homes. It is even more critical in this case as parents typically want to see their children survive and live longer lives. Another area we are exploring is crowdfunding apps like Kick Starter.

16. If we raise enough funding, as a community, we may pre-build all net-zero homes or apartments and long-term lease them to members or exchange their leasing fees for ongoing services rendered to the eco-community. Our ideal funding situation is to buy the land, build all of the necessary eco-community infrastructure, and simultaneously build all of the net-zero homes from the initial funding.

17. All members will be obligated to regularly contribute (most likely monthly) to fair, adequate, or, where appropriate, means-based financial support for the community. These membership payments will have clear guidelines for covering the costs of community administrators and for all reasonable administrative and related community costs required to maintain their CSV community model so that it can securely and continually forward and sustain the community's well-being.

Please also note that retired individuals or other individuals who cannot continue to work productively within these eco-communities will be allowed membership on a case-by-case basis. However, their initial and monthly financial contributions to the eco-community will be substantially larger than individuals who can provide the ongoing needed services to the eco-community.

Because this section is about income sources, there is one more area to review.

Why is everything free and open on our website except the member's section?

Our organization has to pay rent for our offices, Internet charges, phone, and everyday business expenses that any business would incur. Sometimes we have to hire specialty consultants with the knowledge that no volunteer in our team has. For example, when we have to fend off hacking attempts for certain upgrades on our website, we have to hire a server security specialist.

Additionally, the information in the members-only section is information we had to spend a lot of money to obtain. It is extremely valuable migration and financial information that a standard risk assessment firm would charge businesses thousands of dollars a year to access.

We do not do that. We have a reasonable tax-deductible donation level to become a member. We even have a scholarship program for those individuals worldwide who live at the poverty level and cannot donate.

And finally, we want to serve and collaborate with reciprocal and mature individuals who know they need to support the community helping them and others. When you donate to our nonprofit organization, you tell us that you appreciate and value what we're doing and want to help us get our uncensored, valuable climate change-related information to as many people as possible.

More Potential Income and Ongoing Funding Sources for the ClimateSafe Villages and Their Members

Failed intentional communities and eco-villages did so most often because those communities did not have reliable and steady income sources for themselves or their members. Therefore, all CSVs must generate sustainable, fair exchange-based income for themselves and their members. This does not mean that building or running CSVs should ever be treated as an investment opportunity or a property development scheme for the profit of a few early-entry individuals. 

Most income sources within CSVs should be co-ops or community-owned and managed except for those individually owned businesses brought to or created within the community that are sustainable, eco-friendly, and meet that community member's approval and community standards. All co-ops or community-owned businesses within the community should also experiment with the new economic models of fair exchange and merit and responsibility-based incomes.

Here are just a few of the ways ClimateSafe Villages can fund or support themselves either before or once established and operational, but always in fair exchange and community-value congruent ways.

Income for CSVs:

1. Selling online educational courses on many community-related subjects and skills.

2. Selling online climate adaptation and resilience courses.

3. Selling at the eco-community on-site courses and day-long, weekend, or longer sustainability and organic gardening retreats.

4. Selling surplus organic food to the surrounding community.

5. Selling community and sustainably made crafts, art, and other products to the surrounding community.

10. Rural CSVs can lease agreed upon secure storage space or even vacant living spaces to urban or virtual CSV members for storage of emergency backup supplies and temporary or permanent occupancy during an emergency.

11. Community members might also develop climate change resilience-building consulting services or resilience remodeling services for the communities surrounding that CSV model.

12. Some CSV members might create small businesses to help other CSVs with their initial construction, remodeling, speciality survival equipment (solar, water capture, etc) or food-growing operations. They would temporarily move to a new CSV location and live there while helping that CSV get started.

13. Some CSVs might create a community-owned business that could provide other products like speciality survival equipment (like EMP shielding kits,) unique greenhouses, prefab homes, vertical hydroponics kits, dried food products capable of surviving years on a shelf, etc. These businesses could be driven from the advanced and always evolving CSV climate change, climate change resilience building, and food growing knowledge base, and could employ numerous community members.

14. Create a service that reviews and rates only the products that will be used in worldwide CSVs. This service could become highly-trusted because it would be executed with the integrity and thoroughness of a Consumer Reports type company.

15. Receiving donations from individuals who want to see our eco-community goals succeed.

The coming new insurance cancelations and skyrocketing rate increases will significantly change financial conditions for many. It will also cause huge changes in the global real estate market and other markets, such as food commodities.

One of the biggest reasons for this underestimation problem is the Climate Sensitivity calculation constant used in most IPCC climate change consequence calculations was falsely held low for decades by the money and hidden political influence of the global fossil fuel cartel.
