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

If you are new to this website, we suggest you start with the other Learn pull-down top links rather than the more advanced and upsetting materials below. The climate change facts below are shocking compared to what you have been hearing from your government, the media, and even many environmental groups.

The climate facts summary below is usually read after a person has spent some time in other areas of our website getting up to speed on how climate change works, who is responsible for climate change, how expensive climate change damages will be, etc.

 

Prologue

The regularly updated climate change facts, consequences, and threat timetables below contain a 5-25-year overview of current climate change science uncensored by the financial interests or disinformation programs of the 30 trillion dollar-a-year global fossil fuel cartel or its related industries. 

We do not expect you to unquestioningly believe the following ten very challenging climate change facts. After each fact, you will find an expanded version with more details and links to more detailed climate science and analysis. 

For over a decade, we have publicly challenged any worldwide climate change scientist, think tank, university climate department, national intelligence agency,  corporate or investment risk analyst department, or big environmental groups (like World Wildlife Fund, Greenpeace, Nature Conservancy, Earth Justice, Sierra Club, Conservation International, Rainforest Alliance, etc) to disprove any of the following ten climate facts and analysis below. As of this date, no individual or organization has ever successfully challenged the validity of what you are about to read. 

However, the best proof of the validity of the ten climate facts and analyses below is when you personally experience or see one of the consequences of climate change occurring in the news. Nothing will convince some individuals until they personally experience or witness the record-breaking extreme weather and other events described below. 

For most of you, what you are about to read will change how you see the climate change emergency and your future forever. The good news is that each of the 10 climate change facts below also has a call to action for improving that area.

 

 

This summary page of the current climate change condition contains the most important climate information on our website.

Below, you will discover:

a. the real severity of soon-arriving climate change consequences,

b. detailed timetables for the most serious climate change consequences and

c. climate change solutions that include honest global fossil fuel reduction targets needed to slow climate change catastrophes and mass human extinction.) 

The information below is indispensable for protecting your home, family, business, local community, nation, grandchildren, and future generations from climate change's rapidly accelerating global consequences. 

The article below is not for children under 16 due to its serious adult matter. 

 

Quick Overview: The Current Climate Change Condition, Future Consequences, and Their Timeframes

This quick overview will provide you with a current, accurate climate change consequence forecast and, more importantly, the highly probable time frames in which these consequences will occur. This information is critical for the planning of individual family lives and ongoing business operations. Climate researchers who have previewed this overview have praised its accuracy.

This overview is designed to make the crucial climate change facts easier to grasp for those individuals who don't need to know how or why accelerating climate change happened, or all the detailed science behind each of the facts below.

This information is being provided to the public without charge because the public has the same right to access critical climate change risk assessment information as the privileged billionaires, top executives of the multinational mega-corporations, and the political elite, who pays of thousands of dollars for this information yearly, and who are discretely building survival bunkers and planning how they will save their loved ones and wealth from the accelerating climate change nightmare while the rest of us are kept in the dark about this "insider information."

Brace yourself for a sudden drop into the cold waters of a highly accurate climate change risk analysis.

While we have tried to present this challenging climate change analysis of our current emergency in the most balanced way possible, it will still be upsetting for individuals who have not been exposed to it. As you read this overview, stay as calm as possible and try to adopt the wisdom of the following statement.

"Denial is what you add to a problem to make it cost more, hurt more, and last longer." Errol Strieder

 

Here are the seven most critical facts concerning our current climate change condition:

 

1. For over 60 years, your governments and the popular media have deceived you about how bad the climate change crisis is going to get. On average, the real severity and timeframes of the coming climate change consequences have been underestimated by about 30 to 60%.

You have also been unintentionally deceived by most environmental and climate change educational groups. They have been systematically deceived by underestimated, manipulated, or falsified climate change data released by our governments and the United Nations to maintain public calm.

You are being kept ignorant of the real dangers of accelerating climate change because there is tremendous political and private profit in doing so --- at least 30 trillion dollars a year alone in global fossil fuel cartel profits. You are also being kept ignorant about the actual climate change dangers because our governments are terrified of how the public will react if they find out how bad they have continually mismanaged this crisis and how bad the climate change future will be for their families and their businesses. 

(Don't believe you have been deceived? In the main article below and in this critical link, you will discover eight ways you have been deceived about climate change consequences and timetables. You can learn how you have been continuously, systematically, and intentionally deceived for many decades by the United Nations, our governments, and our media.)

 

2. Enabled by the 30 trillion dollar-a-year global fossil fuel cartel's disinformation and lobbying campaigns, for over 60 years, our governments have completely and utterly failed to reduce accelerating global warming and climate change. PLAN A to reduce global fossil fuel use and reduce climate change is a complete failure as illustrated in the graph below.

(The billions of dollars spent on the global fossil fuel cartel's global disinformation, lobbying, and other immoral actions are explained fully in this link.)

 

3. Our government's non-management of the climate change emergency has cost us six decades when we still could have gradually fixed climate change. This decades-long total government failure has severe consequences.

From now until about 2031, humanity will experience a dramatic increase in the severity, frequency, and size of climate change consequences like it has NEVER seen before! This dramatic increase in climate change consequences is due to crossing more climate change tipping points, more triggered feedback loops, and the cumulative global warming effects of pumping 2.3 trillion tons of toxic fossil fuel pollution into the atmosphere from the greenhouse gases of carbon (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (NO2) since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. (Methane concentrations have more than doubled, and nitrous oxide concentrations have risen by approximately 20% since the Industrial Revolution.)

We all will now suffer the consequences of 60 years of shameless failure by our fossil fuel-compromised governments to manage climate change and the cumulative and synergetic effects of 150 years of toxic pollution of our atmosphere by 2.3 trillion tons of greenhouse gases. (See graph above.)

 

4. From now until 2031, the severity, frequency, and size of these climate change consequences will increase dramatically for the same reasons described above in #3. New forecasts predict we could reach an average global temperature of 2° Celsius above preindustrial levels as early as 2030. This is far from what you're hearing in the fossil fuel cartel-controlled media, which continually repeats the climate change delusion that humanity will not reach a 2°C increase until about 2100.

After 2031, the severity, frequency, and size of climate change consequences increase exponentially!

 

 

5. Between the atmospheric carbon level of 425 parts per million (ppm) and 450 ppm, we will enter into Phase 2 of irreversible, runaway global warming. As of February 2025, we were at the shocking carbon 427 ppm level.

Irreversible runaway global warming means that global warming is out of our control and irreversible for centuries to thousands of years. Think of irreversible runaway global warming as a train racing down a winding mountain with no brakes, going faster and faster. 

 

6. The worst consequence of the fossil fuel cartel-stolen six decades, is the crossing of more tipping points, feedback loops, and the cumulative effects of pumping 2.3 trillion tons of toxic greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and that we will experience an unavoidable massive die-off with as much as half of humanity dying by about 2050. 

After 2050, unprepared survivors will face near-unbearable hardships until the climate is restored to the previous balance that had supported the flourishing of humanity for 10,000 years. (For those of you who do not understand how this massive die-off is even possible, here is a detailed article that will fully explain, consequence by consequence, the dozens of layered and interconnected climate consequences that make this massive human die-off all but inevitable.)

 

7. Because PLAN A has failed and we also are losing the worldwide climate change battle at a faster pace than over the last 60 years, it is now imperative that both individuals and businesses immediately begin their PLAN B climate change-related emergency preparations, adaptations, and climate change resilience-building, (or in some cases, start migrating, relocating, and executing what is being called by politicians a "Managed Retreat.") This way, regular citizens and businesses will have nearly the same chance to survive what is coming as the privileged ultra-wealthy billionaires, top executives of the multinational mega-corporations, and the political elite.

Current credible die-off forcasts are that 2 billion people will die when the average global temperature rises to 2°C above preindustrial levels. We are currently somewhere between 1.6 and 1.7 °C above preindustrial levels. Accurate climate change forecasts always require the following to be calculated into the forecasts:

a. all climate change factors like tipping points and feedback loops,

b. compensation for past climate sensitivity errors and the 7 other major errors (described here), and 

c. the cumulative and synergetic effects of all the 2.3 trillion tons of toxic greenhouse gases pumped into the atmosphere since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

Including ALL climate change factors in the forecasts will show our average global temperature will rapidly move to 2°C above pre-industrial levels. Unfortunately, this will occur sometime between 2035 and 2045, not 2100, as your governments, the media, and the United Nations are saying to keep you calm and ignorant of the real risks.

The most fundamental, accurate message for the world today about our inability to "fix" climate change and secure our climate change future is:

"Unavoidable and accelerating climate change consequences have reached a level where it is already too late to save about half of humanity from dying by about 2050. Immediate and aggressive government action is now mandatory  as a part of PLAN B to reach the radical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets to save the rest of humanity surviving after 2050, or there will be as little as 15 to 5% of humanity left alive by about 2070." 

The biggest remaining question is, how much more motivation do our politicians need before they make the required global fossil fuel reduction targets today to save the tomorrows of the future?

Once you can pass through the natural disbelief and denial about what you read, and you better understand the coming future climate change conditions, you will realize that the future that you had planned for yourself or your small business has been stolen from you by the greed of the global fossil fuel cartel and their corruption of our governments and politicians. We are genuinely sorry for how this climate change reality check will make you feel. We know how bad it made our team of climate change analysts and researchers feel when they were forced to acknowledge painful facts and the non-politized math and physics of climate change.

 

 

Please do not deny our painful new climate change reality any longer. This is what is now needed for everyone's PLAN B.

Please do all the following PLAN B actions simultaneously:

1. Get busy with your emergency preparations before it is too late! If you wait too long, you will not be able to find what you need, or it will be far more expensive.

2. Get your politicians to reach the mandatory 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets.

3. Vote politicians supporting policies that deny the reality of the accelerating climate change emergency out of office as fast as possible. They are on the wrong side of history, and because of their climate change emergency denial policies, they will make the unconscionable pain of accelerating climate change consequences cost far more, hurt far more, and last far longer.

4. Environmental and climate organizations should push to establish global governance to save humanity. Without some new global entity evolving with the power to make and enforce laws transnationally, the accelerating global warming emergency is far beyond any individual or collective nation's ability to negotiate or solve.

Individual nations will continue to do precisely as they are doing now. They will lie, cheat, and delay making the required fossil fuel reductions. They will do everything they can to preserve their competitive advantage. Only the evolution of a new global governance entity will ultimately be able to solve the climate change emergency.

5. Don't be fooled by all the ridiculous media-hyped carbon capture nonsense. You will hear that "carbon capture will save us at the last minute. This nonsense is more cleverly disguised fossil fuel cartel disinformation designed to keep you and the world from cutting back on fossil fuel use. (Click here to read about this clever carbon capture false hope and popular media deception.)

 

Getting real about the future of climate change and humanity, and a special "secret" part of our PLAN B

It is highly improbable that our government will act in time to prevent mass human extinction, massive financial loss, and suffering. Therefore, to maintain one's emotional balance and sanity, one needs to see how humanity will escape this mess with our ongoing government's failure to act. (To see the 30+ reasons why it is highly improbable our governments will act in time to prevent the loss of half of humanity, click here.)

While it is theoretically possible for accelerating climate change consequences to reduce the human population to 15% to 5% of the current population if our governments continue for another 10-20 years without making the required radical fossil fuel reductions, this 15% to 5% reduction outcome is highly improbable for two reasons. Those two reasons are:

 

1. Accelerating climate change will not destroy ALL of humanity. This is because Mother Nature (not geoengineering) will eventually come to humanity’s rescue. Due to the many accelerating and direct consequences of climate change, Mother Nature will herself radically reduce the human population. Her actions will reduce the human population by about 50%, and that reduction of humanity will also reduce global fossil fuel use by almost the same percentage. This radical Mother Nature-powered climate change consequence-enforced drop in global fossil fuel use will be just enough to save much of humanity, hopefully as much as 50%.

2. There's also a high probability that by 2035-45, when climate change's consequences have risen exponentially and are causing unconscionable global chaos, havoc, and loss, our governments and politicians will finally act to make the required radical fossil fuel cuts. While it will still be too late to save about half of humanity, this will contribute to the global reduction of fossil fuels needed to help save as much of the remaining and surviving human population as possible. 

 

Finally, Some Better Climate Change Overview News

We must now urgently do what is necessary to save humanity and civilization before the world enters a climate change-driven and amplified widespread global collapse of the stability of our global food systems and other essential ecological and human support systems. The widespread global collapse of those systems will lead to the widespread global collapse of the stability of our economic, political, and social systems.

It is essential to remember that human and natural systems have repeatedly collapsed over human and natural history, and something has always survived. Evolutionary history and evolutionary theory also indicate that new forms of rebirth regularly follow periods of major collapse. Collapse and rebirth are standard recurring parts of Earth's and humanity's evolutionary existence, particularly when some part of that existence refuses to "listen" to the increasingly louder feedback that collapse is coming. (Click here for more about humanity's spellbinding evolutionary collapse and rebirth history.) 

Here is more positive news to help counterbalance the vast challenges we face:

 

a. Thousands of lawsuits are now forcing the global fossil fuel cartel to pay for the damages their toxic and polluting products are causing worldwide to our lives, health, homes, finances, businesses, farms, and nations. These lawsuits are occurring at the national, state, regional, and local litigation levels and will slow down fossil fuel climate pollution by removing its profit incentive. (Click here for more about the rising wave of climate change restitution litigation and how you can join it.)

 

b. Accurate climate change-related information (like this article) will make surviving easier and more certain. Understanding the most probable time frames of the accelerating climate change emergency and how it affects the widespread global collapse of food production and other critical ecological and human support systems, as well as what will happen to business, production, and the human population, is survival-critical.

This timeframe knowledge will be essential for accurate long-term planning, maintaining the correct sense of preparation and adaptation urgency, and maintaining emotional balance. To help you understand the critical global collapse triggers and timeframes, we authored three additional articles summarizing the best previous academic and independent research on the projected approaching widespread global collapse and its processes.

Especially if you have remaining doubts about the correct science-grounded timeframes listed above for the horrible climate change consequences, read our three compelling summaries and global collapse research verification articles.)

Click here to read the first of the three must-read articles after finishing this article. These three articles will give you a big-picture intelligence agency-level understanding of the critical timeframes of the climate change emergency that are driving humanity's other major crises toward widespread global systems collapse. 

 

c. Maintaining a positive and balanced perspective will be essential to survive. Another big-picture way to see humanity's next big evolutionary climate challenge is, "There is no truly bad weather. There is only selecting the wrong bad-weather gear for the particular kind of bad weather you face." In other words, life and evolution are always in continuous change, and we must adapt to major life-threatening changes in one way or another.

The above good news section implies that those wise individuals who listen to life's current climate change feedback, learn from it, and prepare for and adapt to it. They will have the best opportunity to survive and use what they learned about everything that is causing this climate nightmare and system collapse to prevent it from reoccurring.

The links below will help you select the optimal bad weather gear for the coming very bad weather.

Introduction

Here are three essential framework factors to review to prepare you for the shock of what you are about to read in the challenging ten climate change facts below:

1. If you do not understand the basics of what causes climate change and global warming, please click here to learn from illustrations of how climate change happens before reading the rest of this article. 

 

 

2. To help deal with so much challenging climate change news, at the end of the article, we have provided links to practical and effective solutions tailored to honest climate change solutions and resilience-building actions that you can personalize to help solve the climate change emergency and maximize your local preparation and resilience-building situation and resources.

3. This climate emergency has not happened by accident. It has been developing for over six decades. For the last 6 decades, almost everything you have heard in the media, from your government, and from the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (the IPCC) about climate change has been underestimated by about 20 to 40%.

This has happened primarily because of a multibillion-dollar global disinformation campaign perpetrated by the 30 trillion dollar-a-year global fossil fuel cartel and, secondarily, because of strange climate change calculation errors and omissions by the IPCC.

After you read the 10 facts below, if you do not already believe that for decades, almost everything you have been told about climate change consequences, timetables, and solutions has been distorted or falsified by about 20 to 40%, you can click here and read a detailed summary of the global fossil fuel cartel's global disinformation practices and its other criminal tactics. Then, read about the many strange IPPC errors, omissions, and underestimation supporting practices.

 

The ten uncensored climate change facts the global fossil fuel cartel NEVER wants you to know

The first seven facts are challenging. The last three are more hopeful and solution-focused.

1. Our politicians and governments have failed to fix the climate change emergency for the last six decades.

Our governments are not even making any effective progress or even close to the required progress on lowering greenhouse gases that could save humanity from eventual mass extinction. This failure is primarily because of the multibillion-dollar, decades-long ongoing climate change disinformation campaigns and the continuous and pervasive coercive influence of the global fossil fuel cartel on our politicians and governments.

It is a horrible shock to hear that our governments have not made any effective or the required fossil fuel reduction use progress when the news, most environmental groups, and our politicians keep telling us climate change progress is being made.

Here is the simple proof that we are not making ANY climate change reduction progress, which the global fossil fuel cartel never wants you to see. Measuring atmospheric greenhouse gas levels is the most accurate measure of climate change reduction progress. The graph below shows the story of the three primary fossil fuel-burning atmospheric greenhouse gases: carbon (CO2), methane (CH4), and Nitrous Oxide (N2O). (Please note that the global warming effects of methane are about 80 times greater than the global warming effects of carbon. This means that if there is a continuous or large increase of methane in the atmosphere from melting tundra and permafrost and ocean coastal methane clathrate deposits, it's going to get very hot very fast. When a very large surge of methane is released, it is known as the methane Time Bomb. The well-predicted occurrence of the methane Time Bomb seals the extinction fate for most of humanity.)

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 gray vertical rectangles on the right. Also, at around 1800 AD, greenhouse gases begin to increase far beyond any earlier levels. 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 and poisonous greenhouse gases entering our atmosphere began rising exponentially. 

 

 

As you can see from the above, our governments have failed to make any real progress in reducing global fossil fuel use (as shown in the actual reduction of the three most significant and most dangerous greenhouse gases). If our governments had made real and honest progress, the lines on the greenhouse gases graph above would go down and not up at even faster and steeper rates.

Yes, the global fossil fuel cartel's wealth, disinformation, and undue influence tactics have caused our politicians worldwide to block the critical fossil fuel reduction regulations that would reduce global fossil fuel use to the levels required to save humanity and our future. The global fossil fuel cartel has also compromised the world's climate media coverage and the UN's IPCC climate change summary reports so that the media and the IPCC consistently censor and significantly underestimate:

a. the coming severity of climate consequences, 

b. the timetables for the most severe climate consequences and 

c. the correct 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets to avoid an endless chain of ever-worsening climate change catastrophes. 

It is also time to remind you about the single most significant force preventing our governments from ending the climate change emergency for what it is. Our governments and the media have been compromised and victimized by the biggest corporate fraud in history perpetrated by the global fossil fuel cartel. (How this happened with a multi-billion dollar global disinformation campaign and other criminal acts is described here.) 

The big takeaway from fact number one is simple. If anyone tells you that humanity and your nation are making real and honest progress in fixing the climate change emergency, this climate information source:

1. does not understand climate change,

2. is repeating lies they have been told about climate change progress or

3. is intentionally lying to you for some undisclosed interest. 

Below is a graph with a shorter timeline for atmospheric carbon (C02.) As you can see, it has risen steadily for the last 60 years. This graph once again highlights the horrifying truth that despite what you hear in the media, your government, and every ill-informed environmental group not wanting to discourage its donors, there has been no real progress in reducing a dominant cause of the climate change emergency, which IS rising greenhouse gases.

Still don't believe you have been deceived? In this critical link, which describes the eight ways we have been deceived about climate change consequence severity and consequence timetables, you can learn how you have been continuously, systematically, and intentionally deceived for many decades by the United Nations, our governments, and our media.

 

 

Fact 1: Call to Action: Share this no-real climate change progress information with everyone in your network. This call to action is even more urgent as of 1.27.25. Because of new climate change research on crossed or soon-to-be crossed tipping points and climate change feedback loops near-triggering, climate change is progressing faster than we forecast below. The consequences and time frames below are likely significantly shorter than currently listed. Also, if you know someone who has been harmed financially by climate change related consequences, please get them this financial recovery link.

 

Fact 2: Because of the global fossil fuel cartel's fossil fuel disinformation campaigns and coercive tactics to delay the correct fossil fuel reductions, by 2025-2031, the severity, frequency, and scale of climate change-driven extreme weather events will increase dramatically, and far beyond where it is today!

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.

This sudden 2025-2031 dramatic increase in climate consequences is due to the accumulating, synergetic, and increasing atmospheric greenhouse gas pollution effects from over 200 years of fossil fuel burning and our crossing major climate change tipping points and climate feedback loops during the 2025-2031 period. 

If you remember nothing else from this section, remember this golden rule of climate change:

"The higher the average global temperature rises, the more severe, frequent, and larger the areas will be affected by the many primary and secondary consequences of climate change."

 

 

 

Fact 2: Call to Action: Share this dramatic increase in climate change consequences arriving soon with everyone in your network. Get serious about starting your emergency preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building actions to survive and thrive through what's coming. If you know someone who has been harmed financially by climate change-related consequences, please get them this financial recovery link.

 

Fact 3: Today's legitimate and survival-preserving global fossil fuel reduction targets require all developed countries and governments (including China and India) to compel their citizens and businesses to reduce ALL fossil fuel use by about 75% by the end of 2025. 

The 2025 legitimate global fossil fuel reduction target is so high today because our governments wasted sixty years delaying global fossil fuel reductions when the required fossil fuel reductions could have been far more gradual and manageable. Our politicians, our governments, and the media are dead wrong when they tell you we must reduce global fossil fuel use only by 30- 40% or 50% by 2030, 2040, or 2050.

If we continue to use the global fossil fuel cartels unduly influenced and grossly underestimated global reduction targets, billions of us will die far sooner than you could imagine. Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely to all but impossible that our governments will act to reduce the total global fossil fuel use by 75% by the end of 2025. 

 

 

Fact 3: Call to Action: Share the correct fossil fuel reduction target above with everyone in your network. If you know someone who has been harmed financially by climate change-related consequences, please get them this financial recovery link.

 

 

Fact 4: Significantly missing the 2025 75% global fossil fuel reduction target and crossing the last chance atmospheric carbon threshold of 450 parts per million (ppm) will lead humanity into a rapidly accelerating, near-unstoppable cascade of worldwide climate change-related catastrophes.

It means:

a. Somewhere between the atmospheric carbon level of carbon 425 ppm and carbon 450 ppm, we will enter into Phase 2 of irreversible runaway global warming. Runaway here means both out of our control and irreversible for centuries to thousands of years. Think of runaway global warming as a train racing down a mountain without brakes going faster and faster.  (As of February 2025, we were at carbon 427 ppm.) 

According to James Hansen, a recognized world expert on climate change, we entered Phase 1 of runaway global warming in 1985 when we crossed the carbon 386 ppm threshold.

b. We crossed the carbon 425 ppm threshold at the beginning of Phase 2 global heating in March of 2024. 

c. When the carbon 450 ppm threshold is crossed, the average global temperature will rise quickly toward and to 3 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.  

d. When carbon 450 ppm is crossed, we trigger a mass extinction climate change tipping point. (More will be said about these tipping points at the end of the ten facts in the Climageddon Feedback Loop section.)

e. After we reach 3 degrees Celsius about preindustrial levels, we will cross even more climate change tipping points, activate more climate feedbacks, pass more points of no return, and intensify more of the primary and secondary climate change-driven and related consequences. (Somewhere between carbon 425 and 450 ppm, we enter an irreversible climate change death spiral where humanity loses effective control of its climate stability and future for hundreds to thousands of years. The primary and secondary climate change-driven consequences are described here.)

f. Once we pass 3 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, we will be unable to stop the average global temperature from rising to 4, 5, and likely 6 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.

g. At 3 degrees Celsius and above, we will then face all but certain mass extinction by about 2050 and the growing probability of near-total human extinction from about 2050 to 2070. (Near-total human extinction means that, at best, we might save about 50 percent of humanity, and at worst, as little as five percent or less of humanity.) 

As you can see, we are almost out of time to save ourselves and most of humanity. On February 3, 2024, the atmospheric carbon level reached carbon 426.50 parts per million (ppm). About one year ago, on February 8, 2023, our atmospheric carbon level was 420.12 ppm. 

That is a one-year total increase of six carbon ppm of toxic polluting carbon entering our atmosphere. Our post-industrial age average annual growth in atmospheric carbon was between 1 and 3 carbon ppm a year.

Accordingly, this one-year carbon six ppm increase may be humanity's last screaming warning signal. (In a White Paper we published in 2017 called Climageddon, we forecast that humanity would eventually reach the carbon five ppm per year level, but not nearly this soon.) 

 

 

At carbon 425 ppm, we have just begun the generally considered irreversible second phase of runaway global heating, estimated to occur sometime between 2025 and 2031. This second phase is completed when we pass carbon 425 ppm and finally cross the carbon 450 ppm threshold. (Worth repeating is the bitter reality that irreversible here means that natural processes will not be able to get the dangerous and toxic carbon and other polluting greenhouse gases out of our atmosphere for hundreds to thousands of years.)

The renowned former NASA climate change scientist James Hansen warned the world that we would enter the first phase of runaway global heating when we passed the atmospheric carbon level of 386 ppm. That occurred in 2015.

Unfortunately, most people do not understand that staying below this truly last-chance carbon 425 - 450 ppm threshold level is the absolute minimum we must do for about 50% of humanity to survive.

Even fewer people understand that the currently required 75% reduction in global fossil fuel use that we must achieve by the end of 2025 is the ONLY effective remaining option to keep us from crossing the carbon 425- 450 ppm threshold and tipping point. 

If we are very fortunate, we may have as long as 2031 to reduce global fossil fuel use by 75%, but only if we do not cross our last chance carbon 450 ppm threshold. (We really should not even cross the carbon 425 ppm level because somewhere between carbon 425 ppm and crossing carbon 450 ppm is where we WILL cross into phase 2 of runaway global warming.)

Today, there is no more critical climate change target, deadline, or consequence to remember than this last chance for humanity to not pass beyond the carbon 425-450 ppm threshold because:

a. If humanity crosses the final carbon 450 ppm threshold, climate change consequences will begin to increase exponentially in severity, frequency, and size far beyond the dramatic year-by-year growth of climate change consequences that we will experience after crossing the carbon 425 ppm threshold. What you have seen or experienced in climate change consequences before we reached carbon 425 ppm is "a day at the beach" compared to what we will begin to experience from carbon 425 ppm and beyond. (These climate change-driven consequences are described here.)

b. If humanity crosses the final carbon 450 ppm threshold, at best about 50 percent of humanity will survive.

c. After we cross carbon 450 ppm, any survivors will have to live through an unbearable climate change consequence hell and nightmare for centuries to thousands of years.

d. If we pass the carbon 450 ppm threshold, climate adaptation strategies will only slow humanity's near-total extinction process, where about 50% to as low as 5% or less of humanity will survive.

e. This unfolding carbon 450 ppm and beyond future and climate change hell is described in full here.

"We either radically reduce global fossil fuel use immediately, or most of us die far sooner and more painfully than imaginable." Dan Hardy, climate change researcher

 

Never forget that crossing the carbon 450 ppm threshold and tipping point is the critical "point of no return" for centuries to millennia. It is the point of no return where everything that has made our climate stable and conducive enough for humanity to flourish during the previous 10,000 years will become dramatically more unstable, making survival more difficult at faster and faster rates. 

Carbon 425-450 ppm is currently the critical tipping point at which humanity triggers the climate change processes and consequences, which bring about humanity's own mass extermination.

From 2025 to about 2035, once we have crossed the carbon 425 ppm threshold, do not be surprised to see the total cost of all climate change damage in your nation rise toward (and then eventually exceed) 5% of your nation's total Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Acknowledgment of the carbon 425-450 ppm last-chance threshold was first published in a Job One For Humanity white paper in 2016 and later as a book called Climageddon. In the white paper and book, passing the carbon 425-450 ppm last-chance threshold was called Phase 1 of the Climageddon Scenario. (The Illustration below is from the Climageddon white paper and book.)

 

 

Fact 4: Call to Action: Make everyone in your network aware of the carbon 450 ppm last chance threshold and tipping point. Do not delay or procrastinate in initiating your emergency preparation adaptation and resilience-building actions to prepare for the rapidly escalating climate change consequences because it is all but certain we will not meet this fossil fuel reduction target. (See fact eight for more information on how to do this.)

Fact 5: The mass extinction of about half of humanity by about 2050 is all but a certainty even if we stay below our last-chance carbon 450 ppm threshold.

This all but certain mass extinction of about 50% of humanity by about 2050 is because:

1. Our fossil fuel-compromised governments and politicians have not effectively reduced total global fossil fuel use during the last six decades when we could have gradually met the necessary reduction targets. Our 60-plus years of failure to reduce atmospheric carbon has now put global warming into an irreversible runaway state that will last for hundreds to thousands of years.

3. After we cross carbon 450 ppm, we will cross more climate tipping points, cross more climate feedbacks, pass more points of no return, and exponentially accelerate climate consequences. (For exactly how this mass human extinction will occur, see this page.) 

3. We are also trapped in the horrifying Garret's Climate Change Dilemma. If you haven't read about Garret's Climate Change Dilemma, we strongly recommend you read it so that you truly grasp that it is not an exaggeration to state that at this point, no matter what we do, about half of humanity will be dead by around 2050.  

The climate change-driven mass extinction process will initially be driven by worldwide crop failures, low crop yields, global soaring food prices, and mass starvation caused by climate change-driven extreme, record-breaking, and unseasonable weather, severely disrupting regular growing seasons. Additionally, about half of humanity will go extinct by about 2050 because of increasing regional and national conflicts arising directly from mass climate change migrations and the rapid escalation of the primary and secondary climate change-driven consequences. 

Well, before we reach humanity's predicted climate change-driven mass extinction by about 2050, the likelihood that humanity will destroy itself near-totally in much larger multi-regional or global conflicts before 2050 is also exceptionally high.

Here's why.

After we have crossed our last-chance atmospheric carbon threshold and tipping point, humanity's mass extinction by about 2050 will be driven mainly by starvation, mass migrations, and localized conflicts. However, due to climate change's many accelerating secondary consequences, there is also an exceptionally high probability of much larger conflicts occurring. 

These secondary consequences include intensifying smaller-scale, localized resource regional conflicts and creating much larger-scale national, international, and global conflicts.

The many extinction-accelerating secondary consequences of climate change are described fully about halfway down this page. We strongly recommend reading them because they will help you viscerally and intimately understand climate change's secondary consequence-driven suffering and death. 

Click here to review our essential three-article summary of the world's best research on global collapse and extinction from MIT, the Club of Rome, KPMG, etc. These three articles also go into five other factors besides climate change that are predicted to bring about mass extinction and global collapse sometime before 2050. The last of these three articles integrates our most current climate change research, which wasn't in the original research by MIT, the Club of Rome, KPMG, etc.  This third article updates the previous collapse and mass extinction timeframes, moving the worst of the collapse and mass extinction cycle to sometime between about 2035 and 2045.

We know this is very bad and scary news, so we have provided this additional link that is a must-read if you are concerned about the possibility that mass extinction will turn into total extinction.

(Click here also to learn why human extinction by about 2050-2070 might be only near-total extinction, not the far worse total extinction, but only if we do not keep our atmospheric carbon levels below the carbon 450 parts per million. level.)

(Please Note: Mass extinction is not something that is new to the Earth! There have been five previous mass extinction events in Earth's history. Click here to read about the five previous extinction events.)

 

 

 

Fact 5: Call to Action: It is now far more important, with the extinction of about half of humanity by 2050 all but certain, to begin your emergency preparations, adaptations, and resilience building. Those who have not prepared, adapted, and built resilience into their homes, businesses, farms, and nations will suffer and die needlessly.

It will become far more difficult and expensive to take those emergency preparation actions after carbon 450 is reached. With climate consequences so prevalent at this point and with the denial of climate change no longer possible, the needed supplies might not be available or become so expensive you cannot afford them. (See fact eight for more information on how to do this.)

Fact 6: With little remaining time left to act, the only way to save the 50% of humanity that could survive after 2050 from near-total extinction is for our governments to enact laws forcing all nations to reach the required 75% global fossil fuel reduction target to prevent our crossing the carbon 450 ppm final threshold (sometime between 2025 -2031.)

At this point, many readers wonder if things are so bad that all of humanity will go totally extinct. That is not probable. There is good news here, even with such horrible previous climate news.

It is highly improbable that ALL of humanity will go extinct due to accelerating climate change once we have crossed the carbon 425 -450 ppm threshold. (Click here for the many surprising reasons that this is true.)

Life will go on for many who understand, prepare for, and manage the climate change emergency! This good news is explained with many illustrations here. (The preceding link is one of the most important pages on our website for maintaining a rational perspective and emotional balance in the face of so much bad climate news. It has been read millions of times.)

 

Fact 6: Call to Action: Make everyone in your network aware of the carbon 450 ppm last chance threshold and tipping point. Push your politicians to act now! And, begin your emergency preparations, adaptations, and resilience building. Those who have not prepared, adapted, and built resilience into their homes, businesses, farms, and nations will suffer and die needlessly. If you know someone who has been harmed financially by climate change-related consequences, please get them this financial recovery link.

 

 

The following three facts focus on what you need to do to save humanity from mass or near-total extinction caused by climate change. One of the steps below will connect you to the emergency preparations, adaptations, and resilience building you will need to know.

 

Fact 7: We must bypass our cartel-disinformed, compromised, cowardly, or incompetent politicians and governments and use the new Climate Justice Now program (or something else that is equally as effective) to radically reduce global fossil fuel use to prevent crossing the carbon 450 ppm last chance threshold.

Individual fossil fuel reduction actions alone (even if done by hundreds of millions of us) will not save about half of humanity from perishing before 2050. This is entirely because of 60 years of grossly negligent government and politicians' ineffectiveness created and enabled by the global fossil fuel cartel's mighty invisible hand controlling and disinforming our leaders.

And here is the challenge and the dilemma. 

1. Only massive government-enforced action to reduce global fossil fuel use by 75% by 2025 (maybe 2031 if we are super-lucky) can keep us from crossing the carbon 450 ppm threshold and save the post-2050 climate survivors from the even worse and almost certain near-total extinction process (occurring from about 2050 to 2070.)

2. Our politicians and governments are not making the required 2025 global fossil fuel reductions and have not done so for the last 60 years.

This extreme danger means that we must bypass our politicians and governments until they start to act meaningfully and effectively to fix the climate change emergency. How we, as individuals, small businesses, and local community governments, effectively do this bypass is what we call the Climate Justice Now program. (This critical Climate Justice Now program is described on several pages beginning here.)

At some point, after we have globally enforced the Climate Justice Now program on the perpetrators of the climate change emergency, our misinformed, compromised, or cowardly politicians will finally begin to act at the state and national governmental levels to complete the many necessary government climate change fossil fuel reduction actions and climate restoration actions found in great detail here.

The good news is there is still a tiny remaining window of time until we cross the last chance carbon 450 ppm threshold and tipping point, allowing us to save much of the post-2050 remaining half of humanity, but again, only if collectively we:

1. Tell everyone you know who has been the victim of climate change consequences and has suffered financial losses about the Climate Justice Now program so they can get financial restitution and be made whole. 

When you tell anyone harmed by climate change about the Climate Justice Now program and the thousands of individual, business, and government global restitution lawsuits as described here, these lawsuits against the cartel will eventually push our politicians away from the cartel and toward protecting the lives and wellbeing of their citizens by fixing climate change.

Eventually, the Climate Justice Now program and other effective programs will push our politicians and governments to radically reduce global fossil fuel use to get close to the survival-critical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets.

Here are the detailed climate actions our governments must enforce. 

Here are additional effective ways to get our politicians to force our governments to finally act on effective fossil fuel reduction targets.

2. Individual actions to reduce their own fossil fuel use, as described here. While massive individual fossil fuel reductions are now too little and too late to save about half of humanity before 2050, they can still play a significant role in what percentage of humanity survives after 2050.

(See this critical page to understand the vital role that our steadily accumulating individual actions to reduce global fossil fuel use will play in a secondary role to help save humanity once humanity finally forces its politicians and government to act after humanity has hit the climate change catastrophe "rock bottom." Steadily accumulating individual actions could help make the difference in as much as 30% of humanity surviving after 2050. If individual fossil fuel reduction actions do not continue to grow significantly, as few as five percent or less of humanity could survive until about 2070.

If we do not find some practical way (like the Climate Justice Now program) to immediately reduce global fossil fuel use to the correct 2025 global fossil fuel reduction target level (to prevent crossing our last chance carbon 450 ppm tipping point), there is only the slightest possibility that there will be a world that you and I would want to or could inhabit not long after 2035-2040.

Fact 8: Everything our fossil fuel cartel-compromised governments are currently doing to fix the climate change emergency is "far too little, far too late." Therefore, you, your family, your business, and humanity must begin emergency preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building action steps found in our climate change Plan B.

One can deny the painful facts of climate change and the unconscionable failure of our governments to fix it and suffer and likely die unprepared, or one can acknowledge this painful reality as a mature adult and begin to prepare for what is coming and minimize your suffering and likelihood of death. The following will help you make the wisest decision.

Because effective government global fossil fuel use reduction is not happening fast enough to achieve the correct 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, our organization strongly recommends that all individuals, businesses, communities, and nations immediately begin our Climate Change Plan B.

Plan B contains many actions, particularly the urgently needed emergency preparations, critical adaptations, and resilience-building actions for the many climate change catastrophes we can no longer avoid.

If you live in a climate change high-risk area, Plan B also might include climate change migration or relocation (or, in the government doublespeak, climate change-driven, Managed Retreat.) (Only about five percent of the world's available land areas will be climate-safer locations where people will have the best chance to live longer with the fewest and least severe consequences of climate change.)

By enacting their Plan B emergency backup and resilience-building plans before 2025 -2031, when climate change consequences will begin to rise dramatically, prudent individuals and organizations are ensuring they, their loved ones, businesses, local communities, and nations will have the best chance to make it through the many coming unavoidable climate change catastrophes. 

Many individuals also join or create urban, suburban, rural, hybrid, or virtual climate change-resilient eco-communities to support their Plan B actions. These new, supportive, climate change-resilient communities are discussed in the video below and are discussed in detail here. We call the community-building efforts Climate-Safe Villages. (There is also a unique and interesting ClimateSafe Village now being formed called Universe One.)

 

 

If you want to see a series of powerful graphic timeline illustrations on how little time we have left to prepare and adapt as the climate worsens and gets more out of control, see the MIT Club of Rome's original collapse study and its four subsequent verification studies (done by outside independent research groups,) along with other more recent climate change-related collapse research, by clicking here.

The following is one of many global collapse timeline illustrations found on an essential climate change timeline summary page by clicking here. As you can see from the graph below, things start collapsing fast around 2030 when we are projected to cross the carbon 450 ppm last chance threshold and tipping point.

The last of these three articles integrates our most current climate change research, which wasn't in the original research by MIT, the Club of Rome, KPMG, etc.  This third article updates the collapse and mass extinction timeframe, moving the worst of the collapse and extinction cycle to sometime between about 2035 and 2045.

 

Fact 8: Call to Action: Start your climate change emergency preparation and adaptation program immediately. Don't count on your government to care for or save you, your family, or your business. With all of the climate catastrophes that are coming, they will never have enough resources.If you know someone who has been harmed financially by climate change-related consequences, please get them this financial recovery link.

 

 

Fact 9: There is still a lot of good news about climate change to counterbalance government climate inaction.

Humanity can still:

a. save much of the other half of post-2050 humanity (if our governments act now to cut global fossil fuel use by 75%.)

b. obtain these many worthwhile benefits in the step-by-step process of finally fixing the climate emergency. 

c. learn from the painful lessons coming from the climate catastrophe so we never let them happen again. 

d. experience many previously unattainable benefits in a Great Global Rebirth once the climate change emergency is finally fixed! 

 

 

Fact 9: Call to Action: Continually balance the bad climate change news with whatever good news you can find (like that above), or emotionally and psychologically, you probably will have it far harder than necessary.

Fact 10: We have no time left to be diverted or deceived by wild or unproven at-scale "new technology" Silicon Valley get-rich-quick IPOs or other government-funded, fossil fuel industry-designed and lobbied climate change schemes.

There is no viable substitute for achieving the required radical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction target, or we will face near-total extinction from the unstoppable unfolding of the primary and secondary climate change consequences.

No miracle "new technology" (like carbon capture or geo-engineering) currently exists at the needed scale or cost efficiency to save humanity from our accelerating global heating nightmare before about half of humanity is dead by about 2050. So, hoping for some "new technology" to be discovered and save humanity at the last minute before our critical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction deadline and that can be scaled up in time without horrible side effects--- is another global fossil fuel cartel disinformation campaign, personal strategy destined for failure, and a costly illusion dooming much of humanity to extinction. 

Even if there was some safe, effective, and at-scale new technology climate change and global heating solution happening sometime in the future, no new technology climate change solution exists right now that is safe, effective, and at-scale, which could prevent us from crossing our last change carbon 450 ppm mass to near-total extinction threshold and tipping point. (Click here to see why the carbon 450 ppm threshold is our last chance to prevent mass human extinction.)

The only thing at this 11th hour that can keep more post-2050 climate survivors from experiencing near-total extinction is to immediately reduce ALL global fossil fuel use and get close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. It is that simple.

If you are curious why humanity is highly unlikely for ALL of humanity to go extinct, please read this article. On this page, you will also see that there is a place for appropriate, legitimate, and side-effect-safe new technologies.

If you are interested in learning more about the five nonclimate change factors and timeframes in which humanity will experience climate-related catastrophes, widespread global collapse, and mass extinction derived from the MIT, KPMG, and Club of Rome studies, please review the timeframe illustrations on this page.

 

Fact 10: Call to Action: Don't be deceived by the stream of bogus climate change progress news and the "too little too late" high-tech solutions that do not prevent our passing carbon 450 ppm by 2031 or sooner. Please start the five actions listed below.

1. Demand immediate, honest global climate change fossil fuel reduction needed to save yourself, your family, your business, your local community, and your nation.

A bit more about carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide

The following illuminates the three critical and interacting climate change factors and forces that will facilitate and then accelerate the extinction of much of humanity over the following 3-5 decades. These three critical climate calculation factors are collectively and woefully missing from almost all climate change calculations done by climate researchers with a single specialty, such as glaciers, water vapor, forest carbon absorption, sea ice coverage, ocean temperature, carbonization, currents, etc.

These three interacting factors and highly disruptive forces will be explained shortly, but first, it is necessary to illuminate the hidden danger of already accelerating climate change. Most people will acknowledge that global warming is accelerating. Over the last two decades, it has accelerated by about 50% from one decade to the next. This acceleration in global warming is in perfect lockstep with the key atmospheric greenhouse gases (carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide), as shown in the graph below.

 

This massive 50% acceleration in global warming over the previous several decades contradicts everything you hear in the media from our authorities telling us that we are making progress on fixing global warming. (In case you still do not believe the 50% increase, James Hansen, the world-renowned climate scientist, recently verified this dangerous 50% acceleration in global warming over the last two decades. Click here for this new verification 2024 study by James Hansen.) 

The exponential, runaway acceleration of a carbon and methane-rich atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels will not only heat the planet beyond human tolerance with horrendous direct and indirect consequences, it will also make the atmosphere more and more toxic and less and less breathable for human beings.

 

The hidden seldom discussed, and catastrophic Climageddon Feedback Loop is the reason why the climate change emergency is going to get a whole lot worse far faster than anyone, including our governments, is prepared to deal with!

The following overview of the Climageddon Feedback Loop process explains the powerful and regularly unaccounted-for climate system forces that, behind the scenes, are rapidly accelerating global warming temperatures and intensifying climate change consequences. The effects of the Climageddon Feedback Loop process also explain why the climate change emergency has now grown beyond humanity's effective and practical control.

 

For decades, most of the world's single-specialty climate scientists have overlooked, hidden, denied, ignored, or grossly underestimated the effects of the Climageddon Feedback Loop as a major factor in the accuracy of their climate change calculations. Almost all of our single specialty climate scientists have overwhelmingly failed to include within their calculations the critical cumulative and synergetic effects of ALL other interacting and interdependent climate change systems and subsystems probable, likely, or potential:

a. crossed climate tipping points,

 

b. inherent or interconnected feedback loops, and

c. non-linear reactions commonly found within the systems and subsystems of complex adaptive systems.

The following illustration helps to demonstrate nonlinear reactions in complex adaptive systems like the climate. In the illustration, system A in the climate is connected to system B, but because they are complex adaptive climate systems, they can and will produce nonlinear, highly unpredictable effects in climate system or subsystem C.

 

 

 

The above three climate-related factors and forces inherently feed into and fuel each other to create the Climageddon Feedback Loop process.

There are about a dozen major climate change systems and subsystems that are interconnected and interacting in most normal climate change transactions. They are glacier melting or glacier break-off status, sea ice coverage, ocean temperature, ocean carbon absorption, ocean currents, methane and carbon release from permafrost, methane release from coastal ocean areas, atmospheric water vapor, the albedo effect, and soil and forest carbon sequestration or carbon release factors. (There are other climate factors and subsystems, but these are the major ones.) 

If all of the climate's probable, likely, and potential crossed tipping points, feedback loops, and non-linear reactions are not accounted for in climate change analysis and forecasts designed to give us accurate climate change consequence timetables and climate solutions, any real chance to fix the climate change emergency before near-total extinction slips through humanity's fingers before our leaders and humanity ever realize its last climate-fixing opportunity is gone.

The illustration below shows what happens before a tipping point is about to be crossed. Just before the collapse, it will start to oscillate faster and faster to higher and lower oscillating levels.

 

 

Understanding how the three factors and forces of the Climageddon Feedback Loop interact is critical to humanity's future. The Climageddon Feedback Loop occurs whenever more crossed climate tipping points, feedback loops, and triggered non-linear reactions interact and accelerate each other's effects in what can become a near-endless feedback loop.

 

 

The forces of tipping points, feedback loops, and nonlinear reactions interact in the climate to create a new and much larger or mega feedback loop (the Climageddon Feedback Loop) of and between themselves. This now-activated Climageddon feedback loop will continuously fuel and accelerate new levels of rapidly increasing heat and intensify climate change consequences.

 

 

In the Climageddon Feedback Loop, more tipping points, feedback loops, and non-linear reactions are pushed into being crossed or activated at faster and faster rates. This once again triggers or accelerates other and more climate tipping points, feedback loops, and non-linear reactions in other climate systems and subsystems. This, in turn, fuels and creates the Climageddon Feedback Loop extinction spiral of ever-increasing and ever more severe climate change consequences at even faster rates!

As the Climagageddon Feedback Loop continues to expand and accelerate as described above; eventually, all that Humanity will be able to do is prepare and adapt and hope that you can live as comfortably as possible under the extreme climate change conditions never seen before by humanity.

The monster climate crisis and extinction threat are hidden by ignoring the Climageddon Feedback Loop in current climate change analysis and predictions.

Today, most climate scientists have not simultaneously included calculations, algorithmic values, or reasonable allowances for ALL or even most of the probable, likely, or potential crossed climate change tipping points, feedback loops, and non-linear reactions from the dozen most important climate systems and subsystems in their final climate change calculations. This dangerous and gross underestimation issue helps to create a delusional climate change "Perfect Day scenario," with no nasty climate tipping points, feedback loops, or non-linear reactions to ruin their "Perfect Day" climate change forecasts. 

Consequently, our current real climate change risks and threats are not accurately provided to those with the political and financial power to act. Because of this, governments, businesses, and the world's citizens have not been informed of the accurate and real climate change consequences and time frames we currently face. They have been grossly misinformed about their climate future! 

The widespread failure of climate scientists to include the Climageddon Feedback Loop process and scenario in ALL of their climate change calculations explains why the current global warming temperature predictions and time frames that humanity is being given are so far off from what is already occurring and will occur. (We appear to be regularly meeting or exceeding our current worst-case climate change scenario predictions precisely because, in part, of the omission of the Climageddon Feedback Loop in those predictions.) 

The undisclosed and uncompensated for Climageddon Feedback Loop is the main reason that humanity has already passed into phase 2 of runaway global warming. Phase 2 of runaway global warming is really bad because it means half or more of humanity will perish by about 2050.

If we do not make radical worldwide fossil fuel reductions immediately, as much as 95% of humanity or more will likely not survive past 2070. Global temperatures will be in runaway mode along with the climate change consequences, and we will be living in climate hell.

To help you understand the global warming-driven side of the coming "Great Global Collapse," leading to mass human extinction, review the following runaway global heating illustration starting from the bottom up! 

Starting from the bottom, this illustration reflects the unfolding natural progression of ever-worsening and interacting consequences with climate change tipping points, feedback loops, and nonlinear reactions included in the projections.

The top of the illustration shows you the later phases of the Climageddon Feedback Loop extinction model processes and consequences. The bottom of the illustration shows you the earlier consequences.

For now, get a general idea of all the runaway global heating consequences, tipping points, feedback loops, and potential non-linear reactions that will be interacting and colliding as well as amplifying and multiplying each other as the Climageddon Feedback Loop extinction scenario unfolds over time in phases and waves. 

Remember to review tahe following illustration from the bottom up, beginning with the heating effect of escalating global warming!

 

 

(Full explanations for climate tipping points, feedback loops, potential nonlinear reactions, and consequences are here, and in the next link for the 20 worst global warming consequences.)

 

Points of no return 

Tipping points also have a point of no return that, when crossed, will always lead to the particular tipping point being crossed and a system crash. Today, you hear very little about the points of no return in some climate change system tipping point. This is another area of high risk and deep concern for humanity's climate future. Unless we also understand these points of no return for any particular climate change tipping point, we will keep crossing more and more dangerous climate change tipping points.

 

 

The Climageddon Feedback Loop is so crucial to understanding our climate change future we have dedicated a full page to explaining its details so that even though it is more complex than described above, more people will understand what is happening in the climate system and why climate change consequences will accelerate dramatically from 2025 two 2031 and then expand exponentially from 2032 to 2050.

2. Please click here for a full explanation of the obscene "Perfect Day" climate change calculations distortion that has plagued the climate information being given to the public about their climate change futures. Then please click here for even more on how the public has been denied the necessary truth about our horrible current climate situation.

3. There are at least 11 major climate change tipping points. There are also many factors about tipping points that most people do not understand. To learn more about these two critical issues, click here.

4. Job One for Humanity does include many calculations, algorithmic values, or appropriate allowances for probable, likely, and possible crossed climate change tipping points, feedback loops, and non-linear reactions from the dozen major climate systems and subsystems in their final climate change calculations, consequence timeframes forecasts, and recommended solutions as seen in the ten facts and links found on this page. (Our research and analysis methodology can be found on this page.)

To help you see the above critical "survive and thrive" time frames more detailed and interestingly, please read all three of our MIT-related and verification studies on the realistic time frames of global collapse. These three articles have been praised as some of the best work ever done on realistic time frames relating to global collapse. (Each of the three MIT articles is linked at the bottom of the other articles.)

 

In Summary of the 10 facts 

"When you think about climate change, never forget that everything is controllable but the overwhelming forces of Mother Nature. 

Humanity can still control wars, conflicts, pandemics, economic crashes, etc. But when Mother Nature gets too much atmospheric greenhouse gas (carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide), nothing under human control (like geoengineering) will slow her rage in time to save most of us. Mother Nature will, inevitably and painfully, reestablish a new living balance for all of Earth's life." Dan Hardy

The relative stability of the climate of your younger memories is gone forever. Every day, as humanity burns more fossil fuels (which adds even more greenhouse gas pollution to our atmosphere), we will continue to break new records and make today's existing climate change problems and weather much worse for our future and the future of our children and future generations.

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

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

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

3. This emergency has not happened by accident and it has been developing for over six decades. For the last 6 decades, almost everything you have heard in the media, from your government, and from the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (the IPCC) about climate change has been underestimated by about 20 to 40%. This has happened primarily because of a multibillion-dollar global disinformation campaign perpetrated by the global fossil fuel cartel and, secondarily, because of strange climate change calculation errors and omissions by the IPCC.

If you do not already believe that for decades, almost everything you have been told about climate change consequences, timetables, and solutions has been distorted or falsified by about 20 to 40%, after you read the 10 facts below, you can click here and read a detailed summary of the global fossil fuel cartel's global disinformation practices and its other criminal tactics. Then, read about the many strange IPPC errors, omissions, and underestimation supporting practices.

4. Please share this article everywhere and help neutralize the fossil fuel cartel's multi-billion dollar climate change disinformation machine!

It is one of the best ways to help support our non-profit organization and build a better climate future for everyone!
