Our Team

We are an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. This is rare and unheard of in an era when some executive directors of nonprofit organizations have million-dollar salaries. 

Our volunteers are independent individuals, climate scientists, and climate activists. They volunteer because they are passionate about fixing the climate change emergency before it is too late for them and their families.  

Our organization's climate change think tank is composed of climate change research scientists and analysts. Some of the world's best climate change scientists anonymously or openly volunteer their skills, analysis, and perspectives to help us create the uncensored and unpoliticized climate change analysis found on our website.

The climate scientists who contribute anonymously do so because of the long history of global fossil fuel cartel-related academic research defunding efforts, unwarranted harassment, and reputational attacks on those academics who openly speak out on the coming severe climate change consequences and mass extinction-accelerating nature of our escalating climate change emergency.

For example, climate scientists like James Hansen have experienced decades of unwarranted actions to ruin his reputation, defund his research, cut off his public speaking events, and harass him in numerous other ways. This was done because he strongly warned (and continues to warn) the public about the dangers of mass human extinction caused by the current climate emergency. 

Not all climate change academics are as brave as Hansen. Consequently, they do their critical climate change work anonymously.

Due to the growing harassment and punishment of climate change scientists, researchers, activists, volunteers, and staff working at climate change educational organizations by global fossil fuel cartel-funded agents and vitriolic climate change deniers and trolls, we do not release or publish the names or contact information of our climate change research and analysis team, our staff, or our volunteers, unless they have expressly permitted us to do so.

Our volunteers also handle social media, marketing, research, local events, and accounting. They also do all of the blog postings, as they have done for years.

Our volunteers are not authorized agents or legal representatives of the Job One Organization. Only our board of directors makes statements, sets positions, or can take actions officially representing our non-profit organization.

The Executive Director, Lawrence Wollersheim

Since its inception in 2008, Lawrence Wollersheim has been the Executive Director of Job One for Humanity. He oversees all aspects of the organization's mission, including global warming research analysis. He brings thirty years of experience in successful social advocacy and social advocacy litigation.

Lawrence has high-level training and is skilled in system theory and the dialectical metasystemic analysis of complex adaptive systems. These skills are used in climate research and analyzing studies within the numerous specialty areas of climate research. In particular, he looks for new or missed omissions, errors, and patterns that could not be easily seen unless one used those new thinking tools and looked horizontally across many research studies covering all the different systems and subsystems of the climate. 

As a social advocate, Lawrence also helped win one of the largest California SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) lawsuits against an organization using excessive litigation tactics to unfairly financially overwhelm, harass, and intimidate an under-funded non-profit social advocacy organization. His early SLAPP legal victory and precedent have also been a powerful legal aid to all non-profit organizations in legal battles with big corporations filing meritless lawsuits designed to silence and bankrupt their less-wealthy nonprofit opponents.

Lawrence spent over 20 years earlier in his career as the founder and managing director of HealthKeeper Inc., a software company specializing in assisting dieters, people with diabetes, and individuals with cardiovascular problems related to weight and nutrition. At HealthKeeper, Lawrence designed software and invented the NutriCode. This colored bar code allows the user to understand a food label’s nutritional content and its impact on their daily diet goals without having to do any math.

From his various experiences, Lawrence has an extensive 40-year background in day-to-day business operations and information technology, which he can draw from for his work in the non-profit, for-profit, and social advocacy sectors.

Lawrence is also an experienced board member of a nonprofit organization. Lawrence has also been a board member of the 30-year-old non-profit organization Factnet Inc. since it began in 1993.

Other Management and Research Experience

Lawrence Wollersheim is also on the staff of the Universe Institute as the lead senior analyst (www.UniverseInstitute.org) and Universe Day (www.TheUniverseDay.org).

Lawrence Wollersheim is also a director of Universe Spirit (www.UniverseSpirit.org). This organization has helped birth the new Universe Evolutionary Worldview, new principles of Sustainable Prosperity, Universe Citizenship, and other Evolutioneer social action programs, like Evolution Spirituality, an open-source, meta-spirituality grounded solidly in the sciences and the principles of universe evolution.

Since 2002, Lawrence has also been the Executive Director for all operational aspects of Universe Spirit's Universe Evolutionary Worldview research, educational activities, publishing, web operations, and all related marketing. 

Since 1983, as a significant part of his life’s passion, Lawrence has been continuously studying, experiencing, and being committed to forwarding the balanced relationship of science and healthy personal spirituality, particularly as it relates to evolutionary science and the personal direct spiritual experience of Ultimate Reality found within both science's discoveries and the discoveries of the world’s great eastern and western spiritual traditions. 

Over the years, he has written extensively about unhealthy spiritual practices.

Lawrence Wollersheim is also a polymath and autodidact. He also has dyslexia, which he credits with helping him to keep a sense of humor and humility in his personal life and his creative social advocacy work. 

He has also assisted and supported the World Democracy Coalition.

Executive Director's Additional Background Experience

Lawrence was mentored by and one of the few protégés of Dr. Margaret Singer, Professor Emeritus at UC Berkeley for several decades. Before her passing, Dr. Singer was the world’s leading authority on mind control, destructive religious practices, and destructive cults. She published over 160 papers and was also one of the original co-founders of Factnet in 1993. 

Since 1993, Lawrence has also been a managing board director at FactNet Inc. (www.factnet.org), a nonprofit educational organization. Over 30 years, both before and during his tenure at FactNet and Job One for Humanity, Lawrence was involved in a series of 5 lawsuits against the infamous Scientology cult. His litigation success in all 5 of these lawsuits against Scientology established important new legal precedents on freedom of thought and informed consent in alleged religious settings.

These new legal "freedom of thought and belief" precedents are currently part of many US law students' first-year constitutional law studies. To date, Lawrence Wollersheim has been the only individual to ever successfully sue, win in court, and fully collect over 9 million dollars in verdicts against the Scientology cult.

About 19 years ago, Factnet evolved its mission from exclusive education about coercive and unethical influence tactics to global warming and humanity's other worst global crisis.
