What will it REALLY take for our governments to fix the global warming extinction emergency which is unfolding over the following decades?
At this very late stage of needed fossil fuel reductions, only government-enforced actions to reduce global fossil fuel use to the required 2025 global target levels can save us from a soon-arriving global warming-caused extinction nightmare.

1. Prologue
Over the last six decades, our governments have completely failed to fix the accelerating global warming emergency. The painful bill for this unconscionable long-term governmental failure has now come due.
Over the last three decades, no climate conference (including COP27), no government action, and no mass educational movement by any climate or environmental group have had any impact on slowing or stopping the increase of dangerous carbon in the atmosphere. Global warming-causing carbon in the atmosphere has increased from a gradual rise to an exponential rise. This exponential increase in carbon signals failure, and the runaway global heating extinction emergency is worsening rapidly.
Smaller carbon levels [C02] in the atmosphere in parts per million [ppm] is the best measure of whether we are making progress. Increased carbon levels will result in higher temperatures.
The above painful facts indicate that the current approach in climate and environmental education movements is not yielding the desired results. Therefore, we cannot continue doing the same thing repeatedly and expect a different outcome.
We must radically shift our tactics to whatever will work within the extremely short timeframe from 2025 to 2031 to slow runaway global heating, or we all face near-total extinction by 2070-2089. Click here for why we only have until 2025 or 2031, if we are very lucky, to prevent near-total extinction.
The Job One for Humanity non-profit climate change think tank educates through its self-organizing and independent volunteer activists. Our worldwide volunteers review our existing projects and help us disseminate this information globally. They may also select one of our projects or create a new project that aligns with the mission and goals outlined on this page.
They coordinate with other volunteers and climate education organizations as needed, plan, and execute their projects. The all-volunteer staff at Job One does not micro-manage or supervise volunteer projects other than to answer volunteer questions when asked.
Our volunteer climate activists are independent and self-organizing. This is precisely what is needed to grow a rapid global warming educational movement as quickly as possible, in order to save as much of humanity and biological life as possible.
If you are considering becoming a volunteer activist or are already a volunteer with another climate education organization, the rest of this page contains almost everything you need to know to succeed. This article is also helpful for those individuals or organizations directly affected by climate protests, peaceful civil disobedience, and any necessary disruption of their climate-harming actions. It will help involved organizations better understand the motivations and actions of volunteer climate activists who are deeply concerned about our accelerating, runaway global heating and extinction emergency.
2. About the current runaway global heating extinction emergency
Here is our climate change emergency, plain and simple!
If we are very fortunate, we have only 3-5years (2025-2031) to make the needed global radical fossil fuel cuts to maintain control of our global heating future. (If you have any doubts that this last 3-5 year window of opportunity is real, click here.
We are in a runaway global heating extinction emergency, and we are running out of time. Because we have squandered six decades in government inaction or ineffective actions, half of humanity will be dead by mid-century. All we have left to do now is to take all necessary steps to prevent a near-total global heating-driven extinction event.
(Click here if you think half of humanity will be dead by mid-century or near-total extinction beginning by 2070 is an exaggeration and not possible.)
(Click here to discover the slim good news on why total human extinction is not realistic or probable, and the worst humanity will experience is near-total extinction (about 50 to 90+% of humanity going extinct.)
(Please note: Even near-total extinction is not the worst consequence humanity faces if we do not radically reduce global fossil fuel use immediately. If humanity comes close to near-total extinction within just a few decades, it will lose much of the knowledge and skills needed to build and repair the machines that create our critical products and infrastructure. It will also lose the knowledge and skills required to obtain the natural resources necessary for maintaining daily life, as well as for alternative energy sources. Without these things, humanity will rapidly enter a painful new Dark Age of ignorance, chaos, and suffering within just a few decades, a period that could last for centuries.
To prevent our near-total extinction, we must now make radical changes in our use of fossil fuels. We have only until about 2025 to reduce global fossil fuel use sufficiently to maintain any reasonable control over our futures and prevent the near-total extinction of humanity.
Our continually escalating extinction emergency implies that we must adjust our strategies accordingly. Wisely targeted protests of politicians are the required adjustments to the extreme and soon-arriving extinction emergency we now all face.
Accordingly, we must protect our futures and the futures of generations X, Y, Z, and A. So be it if that means peaceful, protests and civil disobedience!
In a state of emergency, one has very little time left to act and resolve the crisis. Therefore, we must now operate at levels of true urgency, and direct peaceful and legal protests are interventions commensurate with the large-scale dangers we face. We do this solely to ensure that the global warming extinction emergency and its related consequences are addressed in a timely manner.
We can still prevent near-total extinction, but only if we act immediately and approach the 2025 global fossil fuel targets. (How we can most effectively get close to the 2025 targets is prioritized in Part 4 of the Job One for Humanity Climate, Global Heating Resilience Plan.)
If we fail to act in time, there is no collective or individual escape for anyone (even the 1%) from the runaway global heating extinction emergency and the 12 global crises we face. (Unfortunately, we will also have to manage these 12 other global crises while we speak out about the painful truths of this runaway global heating emergency until more of the world is listening.)
Because of our current situation, volunteer activists wisely target and protest the politicians who support or allow the fossil fuel conglomerate's highly profitable "business as usual." Wherever needed, these protestors will sometimes create discomfort and inconvenience for others not directly involved in or benefiting from the fossil fuel industry, polluting our atmosphere and killing the future of humanity. Unfortunately, this passing small-scale discomfort and inconvenience may be unavoidable.
The minor distress or inconvenience that others may go through when viewing the protests against politicians is insignificant to the financial and physical suffering and potential death they will suffer later if the fossil fuel industry is allowed to continue with "business as usual." (Business as usual being the pervasive lobbying and "buying off" of our politicians to allow the fossil fuel industry to immorally and illegally continue profiting on the suffering and graves of millions and soon to be billions of individuals as the climate change extinction emergency accelerates.)
3. Why we protest: urgent emergency conditions require urgent emergency-level responses and peaceful civil disobedience
We are all compelled to protest and engage in peaceful civil disobedience. We protest and act because the last remaining window of opportunity is so narrow (we have until approximately 2025 to prevent a near-total extinction event from occurring, which is expected to begin around 2070).
We protest because, following the disastrous outcomes of the 26th and 27th international climate conferences, we have entered a new era marked by the onset of the mid-phase of runaway global heating. (If you would like to learn more about the failure of the 26th conference and the 25 prior conferences, click here and follow the key links within the short article. Click here for the story of COP 27.)
Accordingly, we have become wise critics of any company, not-for-profit environmental group, or global warming educational peer that unintentionally or intentionally presents illusions or false, misleading, diminishing, or significantly underestimated information about the real dangers and deadlines of the runaway global heating extinction emergency. Our protest actions also focus on dispelling illusions about real threats of a global scale and severity with massive negative consequences.
We do this because anyone presenting illusions, delusions, false, misleading, or significantly underestimated information about the facts, dangers, and deadlines of our runaway global warming extinction emergency is also hiding the real risks and urgency from society. They can do this in many ways:
a. by making society think that the problem is being correctly solved or,
b. that we are making the correct and necessary progress in averting catastrophe.
Both assumptions are dangerously incorrect because, when they occur, society thinks things are safe or that adequate progress is being made. Then society does little to nothing.
Organizations that intentionally or unintentionally create illusions about current progress or the correct solutions are the most dangerous! Because of these illusions, a society, group, or individual that believes the illusion may try to solve the wrong problem or enact the wrong solutions without realizing they are on the wrong course.
Creating illusory solutions is particularly dangerous when it denies the correct answers and urgency for the right problem, which are critical to averting real crises, deadlines, and tipping points. Moreover, when illusions obscure our view of reality, it becomes far harder to make any changes that would be appropriate in that current reality.
If you are willing to participate in local, peaceful protests to draw attention to the global warming extinction emergency, we recommend contacting Extinction Rebellion, which organizes these actions worldwide. However, please also be aware that there are some aspects and ideas of Extinction Rebellion that we do not support. So listen carefully to what is being proposed and why before attending their climate protests, civil disobedience or peaceful disruptive public actions; if it violates the principles on this page, we strongly recommend that you do not attend!
Please also note that we generally do not recommend attending public climate protests until you have exhausted the many potentially more effective climate educational project actions described on this page.
4. We will also always FIRST try to be respectful protestors whenever possible
We will adopt this posture whenever possible, especially when we can see that companies, political factions, and nonprofit organizations are composed of good people and have previously done many good things for the environment, addressing global warming, or providing other valuable public services.
In some cases, these same entities may have contributed significantly to the global warming educational movement over many years. While we will recognize and honor the many good actions they have taken in the past, we cannot support any current action or information that directly or indirectly threatens our ability to resolve the runaway global heating extinction emergency and save humanity's future from the other 11 global crises.
We also understand that in most cases, organizations are not presenting illusions, false, underestimated, diminishing, or misleading global warming analyses or facts counter-productive to resolving the global warming extinction emergency, awarely or intentionally. They do their best with what they have studied or understood on this complex issue.
Therefore, our position is that before publicly criticizing or shaming an individual or organization, always provide them with the necessary education on our runaway global heating extinction emergency. Give them a chance to learn what you already know.
If, after they have been providing this information, they still do not stop their actions that are harmful to resolving the runaway global heating emergency, then publicly criticize them and shame them. But, at the same time, also make it known that you did provide them with the correct information, and your public position will be stronger. Furthermore, you will be viewed publicly as fair-handed when you educate first and then criticize.
Why well-intended "good" organizations present illusions, incorrect or underestimated global warming analyses, or facts
"No one, whether a politician or a 'well-intended' organization or individual, EVER has the right to directly endanger the lives of billions of people because of their climate change ignorance, incompetence, or hidden self-serving conflicts of interest." Unknown Activist
We believe that when organizations have unintentionally presented illusions, incorrect or underestimated global warming analysis, or facts, or they have misrepresented other important global warming information, it is often because they have:
1. Failed to challenge the calculations or premises of the existing:
a. "authority endorsed" or established paradigms or incomplete or inadequate computer models of global warming futures,
b. used skewed popular "it has to be good for the economy" endorsed analysis and interpretations that are missing critical inputs and effective solutions,
c. allowed hidden political manipulation or manipulation by other hidden for-profit vested interests (the fossil fuel industry) that have skewed or warped the integrity of other honest climate researchers' results.
2. Listened to marketing people within their organizations, causing them to self-censor and treat their members like children who cannot be told or deal with the many worsening and painful facts of the global warming extinction emergency.
There is a whole school of climate educators preaching the dangerous and false gospel of "don't alarm people or make them fearful." However, the runaway global heating extinction emergency is an urgent, life-and-death matter, and it's time we treat our fellow adults as adults and with respect, as capable of dealing with bad news.
Never be afraid to shock people into the necessary awareness of the climate extinction emergency and wake them out of their complacency about the climate crisis. They, their loved ones, and their businesses will suffer horrifically and even die if we do not get more people demanding that their politicians act. (Never forget that if our governments do not enforce the correct 2025 global fossil fuel reductions before it is too late to make a difference, we face severe financial loss, unconscionable suffering, and near-total extinction.)
3. Failed to have a single advisory individual or senior executive group within their organization put in the reading on tens of thousands of pages of challenging climate research. This individual would also require a Mensa-level IQ, a strong grasp of math and physics, as well as a deep understanding of complex adaptive systems, tipping point theory, systems theory, and an adequate dialectical meta-systemic analysis of one of the most complex issues of our time.
5. What does a wise climate protester and activist do?
1. They disrupt dangerous climate actions and statements by educating about those large-scale, harmful actions or statements.
2. They are unafraid to use climate facts that can cause some individuals global warming fear and discomfort. At this critical juncture in humanity's evolutionary survival, it is both appropriate and necessary to educate about the real dangers of runaway global heating as a tactic. Moreover, fear is an entirely legitimate tactic due to the numerous impending extinction-level consequences of global heating, which also exacerbate these 12 other global crises.
When fear is generalized, it can paralyze one's actions. However, when fear is specific and straightforward, with clear solutions, there are powerful, positive evolutionary reasons that the emotion of fear exists. The positive use of fear exists in rare instances when there are genuine threats to your survival. This positive use of fear super-mobilizes the observant and wise to act before it is too late! And isn't that precisely what we need now with our runaway global heating extinction emergency?
Additionally, never apologize for using climate and runaway global heating facts that disrupt, produce fear, or discomfort when sharing information that could and WILL save lives and create a better and more sustainable world. Fear is also one of the two most powerful emotions that evolution has given us to keep us safe. Those who tell you not to use fear or do not themselves use fear for accurate climate education insult and patronize their audience and treat them disrespectfully, like small children who must be protected from adult things.
At Job One, we treat our climate audience as mature adults who want to know the climate facts to manage them before it is too late. Never forget that fear has been generously used by governments, employers, and even your parents to control you in the past for far less important issues than saving us all from extinction.
Climate protestors use the power of reasonable fear to justly motivate and free themselves (and all of us) from having to live with the far greater fear and disruption of near-total extinction. Whenever you use fear to motivate action on the runaway global heating extinction emergency, ALWAYS refer those individuals to the effective and practical steps they can take to manage and remove that fear and threat.

3. Only after all repeated educational efforts have failed, publicly call out and shame individuals, organizations, and corporations, enabling or making dangerous runaway global heating actions or statements. We are in the 11th hour of trying to prevent a global heating-driven near-total extinction. We must utilize all peaceful tactics available to create immediate improvement and mitigate the runaway global heating extinction emergency. Publicly calling out and shaming is an essential tool at this late stage in the effort to save the future.
The peaceful calling out and public shaming of individuals, corporations, or organizations is also a long-accepted and legitimate form of social protest. It is often a highly effective way to encourage an individual or corporation to change its destructive and damaging behavior.
When billions will be dying, near-total human extinction is threatened, and where peaceful public shaming and blaming can make a difference, it is a necessary tool. So, if you have any reservations about the power and necessity of public shaming, we hope you get over them for the sake of your future and your loved ones.
Being a climate protestor and activist also means that:
A. to the best of our abilities, in peaceful, legal, and nonviolent ways, we publicly challenge and protest any organization that presents illusions, false, significantly underestimated, diminishing, or misleading global warming analysis, facts or solutions, or otherwise misrepresent, dummy down or "markets" threat-resolving information in such a way that it becomes counter-productive to resolving the true urgency of resolving the global warming extinction emergency or our other critical global threats. Our non-violent, peaceful protests are ones that would make Gandhi and Martin Luther King proud.
B. we hold that no well-intended or global warming ill-informed organization has ANY inherent right to forward illusions, incorrect, underestimated, or misleading information unchallenged when their actions and those ideas lessen either the urgency or the effective means of resolving our global warming extinction emergency or our other critical global threats.
C. We can and should shame individuals, organizations, or corporations acting in ways that directly or indirectly enable accelerating climate change and runaway global heating to continue!
D. We must publicly call out and shame any media that does lazy research and promotes dangerous illusions, false, underestimated, or misleading information.
E. We are always guided to use the means of necessary or obligatory protest that would make Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King proud.
F. We mainly focus on the power of education and facts. If that does not work, use public shaming.
If you are a member of generations X, Y, Z, and A (or any other generation) and have any other ideas for non-violent and legal protests ion of the runaway global heating extinction emergency, please email them to us at ([email protected]).
6. When does climate protest and activism become Obligatory activism?
Climate protest and activism become obligatory when the scale of damage is so large and severe that one is compelled to protest the activities causing the genuine threat, once they are understood. For example, if you understood a real and probable threat that would cause the soon-arriving extinction of humanity or destroy the biological or climate systems upon which humanity depends for its survival, you would be obligated to protest any organization and its ideas and actions causing that threat.
Another example will be helpful in illustrating how different relative levels of scale and severity can render some types of protest obligatory. For instance, if a war using conventional weapons breaks out between two small countries, causing many people to die, and you knew about it ahead of time, this would call for necessary protests. But if you knew that a global thermonuclear war would occur soon and kill all of humanity, you would then be obliged to protest and disrupt this threat to the best of your abilities.
Hopefully, you now understand why the level, scale, and severity of damage determine the difference between what is necessary and what is obligatory. You should also see why the global warming extinction emergency or anything that speeds it up or prevents us from seeing it honestly and resolving it requires our obligatory protests.
With the enormous threats we face today, the role of being a necessary or obligatory protester is not just needed; it is required! Moreover, any distress that one might cause by challenging and protesting any offending organization is infinitely less when compared to the suffering, death, loss, and damage that such unchallenged illusions, incorrect information, or actions will eventually cause to the world's efforts to reduce global warming and its other 12 biggest global crises.
7. Getting us Out of the Misleading Climate Change and Runaway Global Heating Progress Trap Before it is Too Late
The following is another area we need to be willing to protest. Many remedial climate change tactics and strategies are being forwarded by well-intentioned and honorable non-profit environmental groups, making incremental progress on climate change and runaway global heating. Their progress cannot be denied, but we are also in the 11th hour to prevent humanity's extinction!
Making some climate progress that looks good and feels good to the uninitiated in climate science is easy to promote and keeps supporters, members, and staff happy. But, putting resources toward feel-good incremental improvement is no longer enough if we want to survive.
We must discipline ourselves as a movement. We must focus on completing the deadline-prioritized government-driven climate actions to prevent runaway global heating extinction before it is too late (in about another 3-9 years, 2025-2031.) We must focus all of our climate remedial resources onto the action path of only what must be done by specific critical extinction-preventing deadlines!
We cannot lose our focus on the "nice to haves" or feel-good non-critical path, smaller pieces of the overall runaway global heating extinction solution, or we will all be dead soon.
So, it is now up to our climate leaders. Will they continue to allocate valuable resources to "too little too late" and feel-good tactics that produce some progress, but will not get us anywhere close to what we need to do to prevent near-total human extinction?
No matter how much climate organizations and activists are making incremental "too little too late" and feel-good climate progress, these off-critical-path actions and tactics will become totally meaningless if we fail to prevent near-total human extinction!
Unfortunately, the discipline and focus required to stay on the critical path and meet critical deadline actions still appear challenging for many climate organizations and climate leaders. As part of our necessary climate protests, we must also bring to the attention of all climate activists, peers, and organizations the reality of this future, which is dangerous and misleading, before it is too late.
The reasons there are so many feel-good, "too little too late" climate progress actions going on today is primarily because:
1. Climate education organizations have not taken the time to deeply analyze the fundamental climate actions that need to be prioritized and completed by fixed deadlines to save us from the worst climate consequences, namely mass or near-total extinction. Had they done this, they would realize that most of their current climate actions are not part of a critical path defined and deadline-driven action plan for what must be done to save us in time.
2. At this late stage of the battle, the actions needed to save us from a climate change-driven extinction event are intensely challenging, complex, and discouraging in sheer scale. It is far easier to ignore the real "what must be done" arduous climate work and work on the more manageable, feel-good climate tasks. This feel-good, easy-out is prevalent. An organization's "progress" on feel-good climate initiatives should only be perceived as another "too little too late" action to those few who understand the importance of extinction-prioritized, deadline-driven climate action.
8. To be a successful protestor, it is vital to understand the difference between prioritized, truly effective critical path climate and Runaway Global Heating actions that meet key extinction prevention deadlines and simple climate change progress
Many initiatives are being undertaken by climate and environmental groups worldwide that can and should be recognized as progress in combating climate change and preventing runaway global heating. Unfortunately, we have so little time left to save ourselves from near-total extinction; we must now focus only on those prioritized, truly effective critical path climate actions that will successfully achieve crucial extinction-prevention deadlines. Unfortunately, these truly effective, prioritized, and critical path climate actions are also the most challenging.
To create a climate change critical path action plan, one must first identify the most critical deadline and the point at which climate change and runaway global heating truly become beyond our control. Unfortunately, many climate activists and environmental organizations do not honestly know where this critical survival deadline is!
Consequently, they develop climate change action programs that do not fit the true urgency of our emergency. Fortunately, this critical climate change deadline is known and available here, so they can quickly correct this once attention is called to this information.
If climate and environmental education and action organizations do not shift their mission tactics away from the many feel-good, off-critical path actions that produce minor climate progress and cannot save us in time, we are in very deep trouble.
Therefore, if you see any climate and environmental organizations focusing on many feel-good, off-critical path climate progress minor steps designed (often to keep members motivated and donating,) it is necessary to protest them and these activities as well.
When protesting, other climate and environmental organizations start with our climate educational tactics first! Let them see the correct climate extinction deadline we all need to work toward. Then, once they see their minor climate progress actions in the light of the need for "all hands on deck" to avert the rapidly approaching, potentially irreversible global heating extinction point of no return, many will change their strategies. Many of them will also begin to work on critical path actions, such as those outlined in Part Four and Part Three of the Job One Climate and Runaway Global Heating Solutions and Resilience Plan.
We do not have the luxury of little time remaining (2025-2031) to soothe ourselves with bits and pieces of "feel good" off-deadline and off-critical-path minor climate progress. Instead, we must be entirely focused on the effective remaining prioritized critical path actions that can and will save the rest of humanity from extinction before it is too late!
9. We at Job One for Humanity climate change think tank, promise
We will provide valuable and accurate information on climate change and the state of emergency regarding runaway global heating. This way, we can more quickly reduce global fossil fuel use to the 2025 targets by executing all of the prioritized and deadline-driven actions necessary to prevent a global heating-driven near-total extinction event because:
a. The faster and more we reduce global fossil fuel use, the more people will survive to carry on humanity.
b. The quicker and more we reduce global fossil fuel use, the fewer future generations will suffer from an ever-increasing sequence of escalating global warming catastrophes.
We believe that everyone has the right to their own opinion. However, we also think that any organization can and should be publicly challenged if the result(s) of their unchallenged views will cause grave harm to others and the future of humanity and the biosphere!
Therefore, if an organization, particularly in public positions of influence, is forwarding illusions, false, underestimated, diminishing, or misleading ideas that will make it more difficult to slow or resolve the global warming extinction emergency, we will:
Internally honor and recognize all of their legitimate accomplishments, and we will publicly attack the errors in the information they are presenting in the public forums that will provide the most corrective benefits and most disrupt the status quo of their erroneous educational actions.
We do not seek to polarize or lessen the efforts of any organization seeking to educate about global warming. But, at the twelfth hour of this greatest of all human extinction emergencies, we can not allow dangerous illusions, incorrect, underestimated, diminishing, or misleading ideas about the global warming extinction emergency to go unchallenged.
We must protect our futures and the futures of generations X, Y, and Z. If that means peaceful, corrective, necessary, OR obligatory protests, so be it!
(If you doubt why this protest policy is so important, with so little time left to solve global warming and related emergencies, please click here and see where we are today with the global warming emergency and our other world crises.)
10. How you can start today to protest the politicians and others protecting or inadvertently forwarding the runaway global heating extinction emergency
"There can be no margin for error whenever there is a real and imminent threat of near-total human extinction." Lawrence Wollersheim
The following are a few of the many most effective things our volunteers can do. The first two are by far the most effective and what is urgently most needed.
a. Make your protest voice known directly to your local, regional, and national politicians and government agencies protecting or forwarding any type of global warming-causing action or inaction.
Click here for all of the information on how to do this effectively.
b. Get involved in our Billionaire Project, and help us reach out to the ultra-wealthy who directly influence the world's politicians.
Click here for all of the information on the Billionaire Project.
c. Select another project from our master list of volunteer projects.
Click here for our current master list of all volunteer activist climate projects.
Get creative as a climate activist volunteer. If we do not immediately get our governments to enforce and get close to the required 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, we will be unable to save most of the other half of humanity that we can still preserve.
It is up to you to get the Job done for humanity, addressing climate change and runaway global heating, and sharing remedial climate actions with all your open-minded friends, neighbors, and local media. If you do not tell others, they will believe the fossil fuel industry's grossly underestimated climate summary reports of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, spread by the fossil fuel industry-influenced media worldwide. Then, falsely thinking they are safe and there is little urgency, they will do little to nothing to help fix this escalating emergency. Consequently, we will ALL suffer needlessly, and far too many of us will perish.
We need everyone working on this! Please do not wait to start educating and protesting. We are almost out of time.
11. Why do we "not waste valuable time trying to educate or convince certain types of individuals"
WE do not waste valuable time trying to educate or convince:
a. climate deniers, climate trolls, individuals without open minds, or those who have a hidden (or transparent) vested financial interest in the fossil fuel industry or economy,
b. those who do not invest the time to read the science and the time to think deeply about what they have read, or
c. those who simply do not have the intellectual bandwidth to grasp the amazing and vast complexity of interconnectedness and the interdependencies of the climate system and its subsystems.
The Job One for Humanity nonprofit organization is not here to convince people in one-on-one debates, online or offline, that we are in a runaway global heating extinction emergency. Instead, we provide honest climate data and analysis on our website, allowing individuals the time to carefully read and consider that information. Once they have done so, reasonable individuals will make their own decisions about the dangers and reality of the runaway global heating emergency.
There is no time left to waste on individuals or organizations that will only suck up immeasurable amounts of your time. The individuals mentioned above seldom, if ever, change their minds about the runaway global heating emergency. In fact, if they cannot figure out the right climate facts by quietly reading and evaluating our extensive website information, it is unlikely that any amount of education or convincing you will ever make a difference whatsoever.
After 12 years of dealing with such individuals, we have found that the best policy is to ignore them. We discovered that almost all of them have never even read much climate science or the information on our website. They hold onto their existing climate opinions, regardless of the climate science we provide for them to read and evaluate for themselves.
We have also discovered that some of these kinds of individuals will nearly completely ignore discussing substantive climate science or its details and merits in the posting or article. Instead, they will focus most of their negative comments or wild and unfounded attacks on the individual's posting or responding personality.
We do not spend additional time educating another type of individual We do not waste time with any individuals who psychologically, emotionally, or spiritually are incapable of accepting any idea that humanity could soon go near-totally extinct because of the well-documented consequences of rising runaway global heating.
This runaway global heating extinction idea creates so much psychological, emotional, or spiritual stress within them that accepting the possibility or probability that runaway global heating-driven extinction could be real would emotionally, psychologically, or spiritually seriously destabilize them and their lives so much that they must reject the concept of runaway global heating-driven extinction at all costs! They will suffer from unreconcilable cognitive dissonance if they do not acknowledge the reality of a possible or impending runaway global heating extinction.
Do not engage with this kind of individual, for their mental health and well-being should be respected.
And finally, the biggest underlying reason we ask our volunteers and team members not to spend time educating or convincing the individuals named above is that we are honestly almost out of time to prevent a runaway global heating-driven extinction. We do not have enough time left to spend on these types of individuals. We could be working with those individuals who are ready, have the bandwidth, and I've already given considerable thought to the issue.
However, the good news is that many reasonable, open-minded, intelligent, internally secure, and mature individuals are willing to read, think for themselves, and then decide on the merits of the climate facts they have discovered, regardless of how unfavorable those facts may be.
Spend your time with them, and we have a chance to save up to 50% of humanity. We are in the 11th hour; at best, we have another 3-9 years (from 2025-2031) to prevent a near-total human extinction event.
Never forget that Job One for Humanity is racing to put out a REAL fire. As the Job One for Humanity fire engine rolls by, some will not like its color, while others will complain that the siren is too loud or that the fire engine is moving too fast. When racing to a real fire and emergency, you certainly don't stop to deal with such things of far lesser importance; you just continue racing to your destination and put out the fire.

Job One for Humanity, founded in 2008, is a non-profit and independent climate change think tank that provides a "big picture" holistic view and analysis of the interconnected and interdependent climate systems creating our current climate change emergency.
While we do not do in-house original climate research, we use the published research papers of independent and respected climate scientists and climate research from organizations like the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA.)
Many climate research papers and summary materials reviewed or used by this organization in its analysis, prediction, or recommendations are also found listed:
1. In this extensive but still partial master list of these related or relevant climate research papers and summaries.
2. In many available video presentations by climate scientists or researchers describing their own research. Click here to see an example in the video of the renowned climate scientist Kevin Anderson presenting the climate emergency at Oxford.
3. In the body of many of our web pages, in the links on those pages, or in the endnotes or technical notes found at the end of many pages.
We provide our climate and global heating educational information to individuals and organizations, understanding that they will independently evaluate it and decide upon its usefulness and accuracy based on the best available climate science and analysis.
As an organization, we speak climate truth to power, and we always treat our visitors and members as adults who can handle often-painful facts. We candidly speak climate truth to power also because there is no time left to hide or sugar-coat the facts surrounding the runaway global heating emergency.
Our website pages offer a realistic, proportionate, and rational hope that we can still mitigate the climate crisis and save humanity from the worst possible extinction scenarios. We base this measured hope on current climate science and an advanced dialectical metasystemic analysis (DMAP) process conducted on current climate research.
We are the only non-profit think tank telling the whole and unvarnished truth on how bad the runaway global warming extinction emergency will become and preparing individuals, businesses, and nations for the unavoidable, soon-arriving climate and global heating consequences.
13. How Our Research, Review, and Dialectical Meta-Systemic Analysis Processes are Unique
Using the principles of system theory and dialectical meta-systemic thinking applied to the climate and global warming as a complex adaptive system composed of many systems and subsystems (ocean temperature and acidification, forests, soils, atmosphere, glaciers, sea ice, and ice shelves, ocean currents and the jet stream, tundra and snowpack conditions), we review and then analyze current and past climate change research and public climate summaries for:
1. The errors,
2. The omissions,
3. The previously unrecognized positive connections or negative patterns in or between climate studies and the climate's systems and subsystems,
4. The unseen interconnections or consequence connections within and between climate studies and the climate's systems and subsystems,
5. The unseen or hidden politicization, censorship, or the watering down of climate science by governmental agencies or other types of agents or lobbyists in public climate summary reports.
The problems outlined in 1-5 above can significantly impact the validity of current and future statements or positions regarding climate consequence timetables or the frequency, severity, and scale of climate consequences. Using system theory and dialectical metasystemic thinking applied to the climate as a complex adaptive system, we also review research papers and public statements on the climate for:
1. discernible or hidden biases, and
2. undeclared financial or other conflicts of interest.
The above two problems have become more prevalent and significantly underestimated, with negative consequences often overlooked in public climate summaries and statements. Climate think tanks, individuals or groups operating as unknown fossil fuel lobbyists, and climate researchers funded by fossil fuel-related industries have become the biggest offenders in this area.
Instead of our analyzing only one area of specialized climate studies like the oceans, glaciers, ice and snow packs, planetary temperature history, water vapor, soils, forests, or greenhouse gas factors on temperature and the atmosphere, we analyze climate research on how it holistically applies and interrelates to all different areas within and between the climate's interrelated, interconnected, and interdependent systems and subsystems.
Using the tools of dialectical metasystemic thinking, we examine climate studies, their positions, and the related interactions of the climate system and subsystems through 28 different dialectical analysis perspectives and lenses. This also allows us to see, consider, and value natural or human counteractions that may occur in response to the various primary and secondary consequences of climate change and global heating.
After conducting that extensive analysis, we make predictions regarding the severity of climate consequences and their time frames, as well as remedial recommendations, to determine the optimal global fossil fuel reduction amounts that minimize human loss and suffering. Our final analysis, forecasts, and recommendations always include all necessary adjustments to compensate for any problems, errors, omissions, underestimations, or politicizations that we discover in current climate research or summaries. Click here to see the many errors, underestimations, and politicization we found in a major recognized source of global climate research and recommendations.
Unlike many other climate change think tanks, we provide prioritized, critical-path, and deadline-driven solutions to the climate change emergency. These solutions are based on accurate global fossil fuel reduction targets and the avoidance of the most dangerous climate tipping points and climate feedback deadlines that we currently face.
Job One for Humanity is currently helping to expose the intense politicization of climate science. This politicization of science by the media, governments, and even the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) results in a critical underestimation of our actual and current climate consequences, timeframes, remedies, and conditions.
Unexpectedly, our independent climate change analysis has turned us into reluctant whistleblowers exposing how popular and politicized climate data has been distorted to serve the hidden interests of those who gain financially (or in other ways) from the ongoing global use of fossil fuels and hiding the real danger the public faces from the runaway global heating extinction emergency.
Please note that our education materials, because of their serious and adult nature, are not meant for adolescents under 16!

The Job One for Humanity Website Was Created for You!
Last Updated 11.15.25
Job One for Humanity, founded in 2008, is a non-profit, 100% publicly funded, independent climate change think tank. It provides a holistic "big picture" climate overview and uncensored dialectical meta-systemic analysis of the inter-connected and inter-dependent climate systems and sub-systems creating our current climate change and runaway global heating emergency.
Job One For Humanity is also active in researching climate change justice issues, particularly concerning helping victims of climate change get financial restitution from the global fossil fuel cartel perpetrators of the climate change emergency. Job One also maintains a list of worldwide law firms and lawsuits filed against the global fossil fuel cartel members for climate change damages.
Our organization supplies research-grounded climate change consequence analysis, timeframes, risk assessment, and solutions to educational, climate, and environmental organizations worldwide without charge. We also provide a fee-based climate analysis risk assessment and solutions service to insurance companies, governments, and businesses affected by climate change emergencies.
Prologue
According to Google statistics and other traffic tracking tools, over 5 million individuals have visited our climate change think tank over the last five years to review our uncensored, unbiased, and non-politicized climate change analysis and research. Scores of Internet climate newsgroups also regularly display, like, and comment upon our original climate analysis posts.
This welcome page will quickly familiarize you with our main types of audiences, members, and volunteers, as well as what we do and how we do it. At the end of this page is a link that will take you to your recommended action steps for managing and fixing our accelerating climate change emergency.
While there is a lot of difficult news about our current climate change condition on our website, please do not think that we have given up hope in this challenging task, or that there are few amazing benefits that we will receive when we fix climate change. When you're done reading this page, be sure to read the following link first, then read this link, which will help you maintain the realistic hope and balance we will all need to get through the climate challenge together. (The second article has been read by several million people.)
What Types of Individuals and Organizations Will Most Benefit from Our Nonprofit, Fully Independent, Climate Change Think Tank Analysis and Educational Website?
Are you or your organization on this list below?
1. Fellow climate change researchers and scientists.
2. Smart individuals who have few problems reading climate science and who usually see major problems long before others and plan wisely to avoid them. They hate suffering unnecessarily, particularly the same consequences as those far less observant. (Unfortunately, these individuals are only a tiny portion of the population (about 2-5%.) Most people learn to get out of the way of harmful future consequences only after suffering through them because they did not anticipate or plan for them.)
3. Individuals who were already caught unprepared in previous climate change disasters and have suffered significant personal and financial loss. They want to know more about the accelerating and worsening climate change emergency so they do not get caught unprepared again.
4. Observant, intelligent, or open-minded individuals that are both aware and brave enough to acknowledge that things in the world are not going well (i.e., accelerating climate change, ecological disasters, resource shortages, pollution, social inequity, etc.) They know these global challenges will likely worsen before they improve, which will be very bad for society and their personal future if they are NOT well-informed and prepared.
5. Individuals also know that as things worsen, they want to be around others with similar values and goals who are well-prepared. (Click here to see our building sustainable new climate change-resilient communities project called ClimateSafe Villages, which are communities designed to survive the worst of accelerating climate change.)
6. Individuals looking for information because they are considering relocation or migration to global warming safer areas because of the accelerating consequences of the climate change emergency.
7. Eco-Preppers, progressive preppers, climate change preppers, and traditional Preppers interested in managing the growing effects of global warming and our 11 other global crises. These individuals already know or sense hard climate times are coming. They sense they must begin (or continue) preparing and adapting for even worse climate consequences.
8. Individuals who already can see the many post-climate change emergency benefits to society and the future (even a possible new Great Global Rebirth) once we finally get the global warming emergency under control, and finally,
9. Individuals who are not in denial about the climate change emergency and who already see in climate science how bad global heating consequences are going to get.
10. Climate activists and climate change educational organizations such as Greta Thunberg, Extinction Rebellion, Fridays for the Future, Climate Mobilization, etc.
11. Insurance companies and other corporations whose future profits depend upon reducing losses from climate change-related primary and secondary consequences. (We do not accept any consulting work from any fossil fuel-related corporations due to their long history of greenwashing and co-opting or diluting the fossil fuel use reduction activities of nonprofit or for-profit organizations in which they become involved.
12. Individuals who may not be science people but whose generally reliable intuition is quietly nagging them about the climate emergency. They sense that they will soon need to make some changes to prepare for and adapt to an accelerating climate change emergency.
13. Individuals who know, believe, or sense that the long overdue climate change bill has come due and that this means many unavoidable and catastrophic climate change consequences.
14. Individuals who want to learn the facts about climate change and find an effective plan to reduce climate change.
15. sustainability advocates, environmentalists,
16. cultural or spiritual progressives, individuals who see themselves as global citizens, and the climate emergency as a crisis that must be fixed from a global perspective.
Even if you are not one of the individuals described above, it doesn't matter if it was luck or a personal referral that caused you to find our website. Reviewing the climate information on it will help make your future more secure and safe and help reduce the anxiety that you may feel about the future.
Our website was designed to help those individuals who are both open and wise enough to learn about major catastrophes before they happen. They want to be prepared, adapt, or get out of the way. Our website and mission is to work with those individuals and organizations that are cooperative, supportive, and effectively seek to win the climate change emergency.
For example, imagine you were a Jew and living in Germany before Hitler rose to power. You somehow also learned about what was about to happen with the Final Solution. You wisely then prepared and migrated out of Europe before the Holocaust occurred. Like those people and organizations who warned the Jews before the Nazi Holocaust so they should get prepared, adapt, or migrate, Job One for Humanity also serves to warn you about the many global climate change-related primary and secondary consequences arriving soon.
Who is not our audience?
Our website was not intended or designed for individuals under 13 years old. We believe that the grave nature of the climate change extinction emergency information on our website is not for children under 13 years pld. We believe that children under 13 should not have to deal with extinction-level climate change issues that they cannot change. This adult and young adult information would only disturb the peace and happiness normal and natural to their childhood with no obvious benefits.
Our role and your role at Job One for Humanity, the natural division of climate change solution labor
Our role as a non-profit educational climate think tank is to provide unpoliticized, uncensored, and accurate climate research information and analysis. We are not information marketing people, in-the-street climate protestors, activists, or for profit business managers. We are climate researchers, analysts, and educators only.
Our limited climate research and analysis role means that ALL website visitors, members, and volunteers must share the climate information and analysis they discover on our website for us! If they do not, our uncensored climate information will not reach enough people to make a difference before it is too late.
Without the hundreds of thousands of our annual visitors taking up their survival-critical role in distributing our climate information and analysis, there is little hope Humanity can avoid soon-arriving, near-total extinction climate catastrophes. So please do your part!
Actively and aggressively share and spread the climate information and analysis found oil our website and, where appropriate, become climate activists helping us to create honest climate solutions.
An Important Update to our Mission and Goals
Our overall mission strategy is always based on the principle of focusing on working wholeheartedly toward the best possible climate outcomes while also simultaneously being aware of and preparing for the worst possible climate outcomes.
In March of 2022, Job One For Humanity once again reviewed the climate science and updated its position on climate change and the runaway global heating emergency. It concluded that:
As the result of ignoring 60 years of valid scientific warnings and our not resolving the climate change and rising global heating emergency, we have already locked ourselves into the beginning phase of runaway global warming and the unavoidable extinction of about half of humanity by mid-century. Mass human extinction is now inevitable and unavoidable because we have already gone over the runaway global heating climate cliff when we reached the carbon 386 ppm level. Unfortunately, at our current carbon 420+ ppm level, we are making our extinction occur faster because we will cross even more climate tipping points and amplify climate feedback loops at faster rates.
The good news is that we can still save much of the other half of humanity, but only if we get close to reaching the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets as soon as possible. The even better news is that when we finally fix runaway global heating, there will be many positive benefits and possibly a Great Global Rebirth.
(The above is also our core message.)
This first mass extinction-level event of about half of humanity by mid-century will result primarily from mass starvation due to climate change-related crop failures, low crop yields, and soaring food prices. It will also be caused by growing resource shortages and increasing regional and national conflicts as tens of millions of starving climate refugees seek to find new homes.
If humanity does not get close to making the required and radical 2025 global fossil fuel use reductions (as described in detail on this global targets page,) humanity will also face an even worse second extinction-level of near-total extinction beginning as soon as 2070. (Click here to discover why total human extinction is not realistic or probable, and the worst humanity could possibly experience is near-total extinction (about 50 to 90+% of humanity going extinct.)
Accordingly, we have had to update our prior mission and goals because of the preceding and the increasingly severe global climate change and global heating consequences. Because the likelihood of coming close to the 2025 global targets for fossil fuel reduction is currently so low, part of our mission upgrade was to create a new Plan B for the runaway global heating extinction emergency.
With our new Plan B, while we are still working diligently on preventing near-total extinction, we have shifted a significant amount of our mission focus to also helping individuals, families, and businesses to become aware that they now need to start preparing themselves physically, emotionally, and psychologically for what can no longer be avoided; the extinction of about half of humanity by mid-century.
We are actively helping them adapt and build climate resilience (and other kinds of resilience) both in their homes and businesses and in essential local, regional, and national systems. Our new Plan B reflects our upgraded mission and focuses on maximizing all the possible human, biological and ecological good within our extremely difficult and painful current climate position by:
A. preparing for, adapting to, and building enhanced human and biological resilience to survive climate change's ongoing catastrophic or unavoidable consequences while time remains to do so. This getting prepared step also means that it is time to educate and prepare humanity for the many huge sacrifices we have to make to get close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. And it is also time to start preparing humanity for the unimaginable and unavoidable, soon-arriving suffering.
while simultaneously working to prevent the worst consequences by,
B. pressing our governments hard and continuously to enforce radically cutting global fossil fuel use to get close to the 2025 global targets to slow down runaway global heating sufficiently so that we can avoid near-total human and biological extinction and more of humanity can live a little longer and more securely. (We can no longer save half of humanity, but we still have a chance to save much of the rest of humanity.)
C. pressing our governments for the creation of effective global climate governance that has the power to make effective global climate law with the ability to verify, enforce, and punish violators. Without effective global climate governance, we will never be able to at least:
1. slow down the current climate-driven extinction and collapse,
2. manage the coming and now unavoidable climate-driven population collapse and sudden global decline, and
3. wisely and equitably create and manage the post-global heating collapse recovery processes.
But first and foremost, we must quickly force our governments to create effective global climate governance that has the power to make effective global climate law AND the ability to verify, enforce, and punish violators! Without this empowered global governance mechanism, we can not adequately reduce the climate risks and threats to minimize the effects of near-total extinction.
Runaway global heating is a global emergency that only can be fixed globally. If we do not get this global climate governance working soon, humanity will suffer far more than ever needed and worse than can be imagined.
D. And, if we do not get close to the survival-critical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, with the hope that a good portion of the human population will survive we:
1. help younger individuals and families migrate from high-risk global heating areas to safer areas before it is too late to make these moves, (We forward the position that younger generations (X.Y Z, and A) who did not create or ignore the runaway global heating extinction nightmare have a far greater right to occupy the remaining global heating safest lands and to survive longer.)
2. support building urban, rural and virtual new ecologically sustainable communities worldwide for our younger generations that we call ClimateSafe Villages that:
a. might also allow at least some small part of our younger generations to survive where they are currently living, through the coming climate-change-propelled global collapse, extinction, and possible rebirth process and cycle,
b. might learn from and apply the many hard lessons of runaway global heating and the other ecological, economic, and political consequences which will happen to us because of the ultimate consequences of our current overconsuming, highly unsustainable, and inequitable lives.
For the survivors in these ClimateSafe Villages eco-communities and their eco-communities to serve as "beacons of light" modeling the critical new ideas, values, new behaviors to eventually facilitate a Great Global Rebirth. To see what these new ideas, new values, and new behaviors for a better future might look like, click here and look at Benefit 2.
Click here for more information on the new ClimateSafe Villages Project.
(Please be aware that the continuous pain and suffering any survivors will go through is so immense and unimaginable that many survivors will wish they had died in the Great Global Collapse. For most, survival will be closer to a subsistence existence. Because surviving runaway global heating will be a living hell, we must lessen that hell for survivors by getting as close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets as is possible.)
3. help our governments develop crisis plans for managing the sudden and massive loss of life and unfolding social and economic chaos from now until mid-century from the unavoidable runaway global heating consequences. Click here for those plans.
Because of our 60 years of inaction and ineffective action on the global heating emergency, the informative creative destruction that will occur as half the human population unavoidably goes extinct is unconscionable and the greatest horror in human history. Yet, it is also an equally powerful opportunity to create a better world and even a great global rebirth. (To learn more about the many benefits, improvements, and new societal values that could emerge for humanity from this unsought-after evolutionary challenge and opportunity, click here.)
The Climate and Humanity's Future
Humanity's future depends on how fast we can slow and lessen the worst effects of the runaway global heating extinction emergency. Our next 3 to 9 years will determine humanity's future viability and survival. (If you would like to see the analysis of many factors that bought us to the realization that, at best, climate change is only 3-9 years away (2025-2031) from going out of our control for centuries to millennia, click here.)
We understand that the above is a distressing and problematic climate update. But, the good news is, if our governments mass mobilize and get us close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, we still will be able to save as much as half of humanity! We will also be able to save many of our beautiful planet's plant and animal species and other living systems.
So, let's get busy and work together to save and salvage what we need to survive and what we dearly love.
(Please note: The above climate and runaway global heating facts are currently being censored or altered by the actions of powerful fossil fuel industry lobbyists upon the media and our governments. Yet, widely visible climate and runaway global heating consequences and current climate science-based predictions support the above statements as accurate.)
The above-updated mission means that our primary organizational focus is to support and work with individuals and groups that are bravely facing our many unavoidable and severe global warming and environmental consequences, while at the same time, some of which are working to slow and lessen those consequences so we still have time to save and salvage as much of humanity and our civilization as we can.
Things are going so bad in global efforts to slow accelerating climate change that our nonprofit organization has recently focused our mission on serving those individuals and groups who want to adapt to, survive and thrive through the coming Great Global Collapse and the extinction of much of humanity.
The higher purpose for trying to adapt to and survive what is coming (beyond survival itself) is to take the painful lessons learned from the causes of the Great Die-off and the Great Global Collapse and use that wisdom to create a Great Global Rebirth for humanity's survivors. We are dedicated to doing everything we can to help individuals, groups, and their children survive this long-term climate nightmare so they may eventually birth a sustainable, just, and equitable global society.
Since 2008, the Job One for Humanity nonprofit organization has been educating about the global warming extinction emergency. Some websites believe you are too weak to deal with the increasingly bad global warming news, or they dummy down their information so much that it is nearly useless. They act like if they did tell you the disheartening new research concerning the global warming emergency, you will not stick around to help, volunteer, or donate.
We will never do that. Our nonprofit global warming educational organization will tell you what few other global warming websites will tell you.
We will always give you the most accurate and current science available, no matter how painful.
We will make it understandable with lots of illustrations.
We will always treat you as an adult who can deal with and manage the truth about our current global warming emergency. And,
We believe that once you do understand the science of this emergency, you will do your part to help us fix or adapt to it.
Our website is loaded with easy-to-understand illustrations, descriptions, and documentation. Our website illuminates the "big picture" physics and math-determined interactions of the climate's many complex adaptive systems.

We base this measured hope solely upon current climate science and advanced dialectical metasystemic analysis processes.
We are the only non-profit think tank telling the whole and unvarnished truth on how bad the runaway global warming extinction emergency will become and preparing individuals, businesses, and nations for the unavoidable, soon-arriving climate and global heating consequences.
All the runaway global heating and climate change remedial actions we recommend are provided on a self-motivated, self-organized, and self-directed, Do-It-Yourself (DIY) basis. Although we will answer climate questions and provide encouragement through our member support system, you are responsible for spreading the word and telling others about this website's climate information and tools. Responsibility for the preparations, adaptations, and global heating remedial actions necessary to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your business from what is coming remains as it should exclusively with you.
How Our Research, Review, and Dialectical Meta-Systemic Analysis Processes are Unique
Using the principles of system theory and dialectical meta-systemic thinking applied to the climate and global warming as a complex adaptive system composed of many systems and subsustems (ocean temperature and acidification, forests, soils, atmosphere, glaciers, sea ice, and ice shelves, ocean currents and the jet stream, tundra and snowpack conditions), we review and then analyze current and past climate change research and public climate summaries for:
1. errors,
2. omissions,
3. previously unrecognized positive connections or negative patterns in or between climate studies and the climate's systems and subsystems,
4. unseen interconnections or consequence connections within and between climate studies, and the climate's systems and subsystems,
5. the unseen or hidden politicization, censorship, or the watering down of climate science by governmental agencies or other types of agents or lobbyists in public climate summary reports.
The problems in 1-5 above can significantly affect the validity of current and future statements or positions concerning climate consequence timetables or the frequency, severity, and scale of climate consequences. Using system theory and dialectical metasystemic thinking applied to the climate as a complex adaptive system, we also review research papers and public statements on the climate for:
1. discernable or hidden biases, and
2. undeclared financial or other conflicts of interest.
The above two problems have become more prevalent and have resulted in significantly underestimated negative climate consequences in public climate summaries and statements. Climate think tanks, individuals or groups operating as unknown fossil fuel lobbyists, and climate researchers funded by the fossil fuel-related industries have become the biggest offenders in this area.
Instead of our analyzing only one area of specialized climate studies like the oceans, glaciers, ice and snow packs, planetary temperature history, water vapor, soils, forests, or greenhouse gas factors on temperature and the atmosphere, we analyze climate research on how it holistically applies and interrelates to all different areas within and between the climate's interrelated, interconnected, and interdependent systems and subsystems.
Using the tools of dialectical metasystemic thinking, we examine climate studies, their positions, and the related interactions of the climate system and subsystems through 28 different dialectical analysis perspectives and lenses. This allows us also to see, consider and value natural or human counteractions that may occur in response to the various primary and secondary consequences of climate change and global heating.
After that extensive analysis, we make climate consequence severity and time frame predictions and remedial recommendations for the correct global fossil fuel reduction amounts to minimize human loss and suffering. Our final analysis, forecasts, and recommendations always include all needed adjustments to compensate for any problems, errors, omissions, underestimation, or politicization which we discover in current climate research or summaries. Click here to see the many errors, underestimation, and politicization we found in a major recognized source of global climate research and recommendations.
Unlike many other climate change think tanks, we do provide prioritized, critical-path, and deadline-driven solutions to the climate change emergency. These solutions are based upon accurate global fossil fuel reduction targets and avoiding the most dangerous climate tipping points and climate feedbacks deadlines that we currently face.
Job One for Humanity is currently helping expose the current intense politicization of climate science. This intense politicization of science by the media, governments, and even the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) acts to critically underestimate our actual and current climate consequences, timeframes, remedies, and condition.
Unexpectedly, our independent climate change analysis has turned us into reluctant whistleblowers exposing how popular and politicized climate data has been distorted to serve the hidden interests of those who gain financially (or in other ways) from the ongoing global use of fossil fuels and hiding the real danger the public faces from the runaway global heating extinction emergency.
Please note that our education materials, because of their serious and adult nature, are not meant for adolescents under 16!
We are here to help you prepare, adapt, survive, and thrive!
We have an honest plan to fix the climate. Based on a careful and continuous meta-systemic analysis of the global warming emergency and its real urgency, we have also created and continually updated 4 part plan for dealing with the contingencies of this emergency, utilizing a critical, prioritized, and deadline-driven strategy quite unlike any other global warming and fossil fuel reduction plan.
Our meta-systemic analysis and evaluation results have also produced a set of prioritized and practical, urgently needed global warming and fossil fuel reduction solutions to the global warming extinction emergency in the form of the Job One for Humanity Plan. (Click on the image below for a quick overview the four parts of the upgraded Job One for Humanity Plan B.)

Critical positive reading to balance out the all the terrible climate change and global warming news above
We can still maintain the perseverance needed to succeed in this monumental task by regularly reviewing the many benefits which will occur as we work successfully on this project together. Although we are now in what could be called a Great Global Collapse process triggered by accelerating global warming, this collapse process will eventually offer equal to (or even greater than) long-term benefits in the form of a potential Great Rebirth beyond the coming suffering and loss.
First on this page (that has been read almost 2 million times) and then this other critical global warming benefit page, you will find the many often hidden surprise benefits of the global warming challenge. You also will find a framework and the possibilities for what could be called a post-collapse Great Rebirth, no matter how bad the collapse process gets.
Other Helpful Information
Our mission in a nutshell is currently educating individuals and businesses on preparing for adapting to the climate consequences we can no longer avoid! Our focus is to support and work with those individuals, businesses, and groups that are bravely facing our many unavoidable, severe climate change consequences. At the same time, those groups are also encouraged to work to slow and lessen those consequences so we still have time to save and salvage as much of humanity and our civilization as we can. We will do everything we can to help individuals, businesses, and groups survive this long-term nightmare so they might eventually birth a sustainable, just, and equitable global society, what we call the Great Global Rebirth.
About our all-volunteer organization is very rare these days. Our volunteers are independent, self-organizing individuals who are passionate about fixing climate change before it is too late.
Our organization's core is composed of think tank climate analysts and researchers who have volunteered their time. In many ways, one could also think of us as a unique and partially crowdsourced think tank.
Our volunteers self-organize to handle our social media, marketing, research, events, and even accounting. In addition, our volunteers do all of the Climate Change Blog postings as they have done for years. Click here or on the volunteer image above to learn more about volunteering at Job One for Humanity. It is all of our responsibility to get the runaway global warming emergency under control.

The Job One for Humanity Mission and Goals
Last Updated 1.20.26. (G)
Prologue
Job One for Humanity is a nonprofit climate change think tank and risk assessment organization founded in 2008. It is nonpartisan, 100% publicly funded, and uncensored by any government, corporation, or entity.
This website is for intelligent, mature, and rational individuals who rely on good science and accurate data to manage their lives and businesses. This website counterbalances and corrects the tremendous disinformation and misinformation campaign carried on by the global fossil fuel cartel over the last five decades concerning accurate climate change data.
Our organization is currently focused on educating people about climate change emergency preparation, adaptation, resilience building, and, where necessary, migration, while also supporting all actions aimed at reducing global climate change. Our new focus on preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building stems from the fact that many of the serious consequences of climate change are now unavoidable due to a 60-year delay in addressing this emergency. Reading the rest of this page will inform you of the seriousness of those consequences and the short timelines involved.
Yes, it is hard to admit or face, but humanity is already in the second phase of irreversible global warming, and we have already lost a major battle against climate change! It is now highly uncertain that we will be able to stabilize the climate for many decades, centuries, or millennia and secure a safe, stable future for current and future generations. Losing this battle against climate change does not mean giving up or that we have lost the war. There are many things we still need to do to adapt and save as much as possible.
One of the first things we will need to do is to admit that we are in a growing climate change consequence predicament. Please see this article if you do not believe we are in a predicament. It precisely explains the predicament and what we need to do about it in a very warm and human way. The article is called, Our Environmental Predicament: Culture vs. Nature.
Because of this unavoidable climate catastrophe, chaos, and collapse predicament, 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.
Given the preceding painful climate change facts and our current predicament, the 2026 mission of our organization is to:
1. Educate as many people as possible about the accelerating climate change emergency, particularly its many consequences, and its accurate timelines.
2. Help as many people as possible get as prepared as possible in every way possible, for a chain of local, regional, national, and international climate change consequences that will continue to increase in severity, frequency, and size of area covered, causing widespread local, regional, national, and international loss, chaos, and systems collapse
Introduction
Job One presents independent, uncensored climate change facts, analysis, solutions, and timeframes for consequences to the world's citizens at no cost. It is part of a 30-year-old US IRS-recognized tax-exempt nonprofit organization.
While our website presents a wealth of information and a comprehensive, uncensored, and accurate view of our current climate change situation (including facts, consequences, timelines, and solutions), please do not think we have given up hope on this challenging task. There are numerous significant benefits we can expect when we address climate change. When you're done reading this page, be sure to read the following link first, then proceed to the next link, which will help you maintain the realistic hope and balance we will all need to overcome the climate challenge together. (The second article has been read by several million people.)
Our mission is to protect the cycle of life for future generations by preparing the world with uncensored data for a highly probable series of climate change-driven global catastrophes, leading to the extinction of as much as 50% of humanity by 2050.
If we don't stop denying the actual and dire consequences of the world's governments' unconscionable 60-plus-year failure to reverse accelerating climate change, we will miss our narrowing window of opportunity to prepare for and mitigate these catastrophes. (Please note this is a powerful and painful forecast. If you have any doubts about its reasonableness or scientific backing, please read this full analysis of why that 2050 forecast is valid.)
Job One's most accurate and fundamental message for the world today about our inability to "fix" climate change and secure the future for as much of humanity as possible, therefore, we must begin to prepare for what we can no longer avoid:
1. Due to the massive accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial revolution, we have now reached the point where the immutable laws of physics and mathematics will push the accumulated total of greenhouse gases to continue to heat Earth's atmosphere over the next 2 1/2 decades and beyond. Due to this ever-increasing heat and the unavoidable consequences of its accumulation and rise across all Earth and human systems, it is unfortunately already too late to save about half of humanity, which will perish by about 2050.
2. Due to these now unavoidable consequences of extinction-level climate change, humanity must immediately begin global emergency preparations, adaptation, and resilience-building, and migration where possible to save as many people as possible after 2050.
3. Immediate and aggressive government action is also now mandatory to reach the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets to save as much as possible of post-2050 humanity, or there will be as little as 15 to 5% of humanity left alive by about 2070.
If we do not get our politicians and governments to understand that "we have to immediately reverse the accelerating climate change emergency by radically reducing global fossil use, while we prepare for and adapt to the climate consequences we can no longer avoid, most of us and our civilization will not be around soon after 2050 to 2070.
The biggest remaining political question is, how much more motivation do our politicians need before they make the required changes today to save the tomorrows of the future?
Job One promises will always tell you the complete, uncensored truth about our current climate and what many do not want to hear about our climate change emergency. Unfortunately, this climate information IS the same painful climate change information you need to protect yourself and your future.
If you haven't done so already, please read our most up-to-date climate change current conditions page here. It will help you understand why our mission is what it is and the urgency of our mission, as described below.
More about What We Do at Job One for Humanity
Job One for Humanity educates about climate change, climate emergency preparedness, intelligent climate change adaptation, resilience-building, and identifying remaining locations for safer relocation due to climate change, including "managed retreat" and migration. Job One for Humanity also helps forward and support climate emergency preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building in co-founding the ClimateSafevillages.org organization and through the Universe One project.
At Job One, we promise our 100% publicly funded independent climate change think tank will always tell you the complete and uncensored climate truth and what many often do not want to hear about our current climate change emergency. Unfortunately, this climate information is the same painful climate change information you need to protect yourself and your future.
Job One provides a "big picture" (holistic) overview of climate change and an uncensored DMAP (dialectical metasystemic analysis) of the many interconnected and interdependent climate systems and subsystems that contribute to our current climate change emergency. When proposing climate change solutions, the central principle is, "Are these solutions effective, practical, and good for the common well-being?"
Job One For Humanity is also active in researching climate change justice issues, particularly concerning helping victims of climate change get financial restitution from the global fossil fuel cartel perpetrators of the climate change emergency. Job One also maintains a list of worldwide law firms and lawsuits filed against the global fossil fuel cartel members for climate change damages.
Job One researches and presents mostly free, uncensored climate change information, analysis, solutions, and timeframes to the world's citizens. Job One for Humanity never accepts funding or donations from fossil fuel-related industries or businesses.
We believe every global citizen deserves access to the same uncensored information on climate change threats and risks, as developed by major national intelligence agencies. Every citizen should have access to the same climate information purchased at great expense by wealthy hedge funds, investment banks, and billionaires from specialty risk-analysis firms, but only at a cost that is affordable to anyone of average income! (Job One also provides special scholarship programs for those individuals living at their national poverty level who cannot afford access to our climate information.)
Our climate analysis ensures that every citizen can protect themselves, their families, and their businesses equally, as well as those with the privileges of high-security governmental positions or great wealth. Unrestricted, unpoliticized, and uncensored knowledge of climate change risks and threats is critical for citizens to understand their real challenges and to wisely initiate survival-related emergency preparations, adaptations, or relocations for the coming avoidable and unavoidable climate catastrophes, wherever needed.
Our climate articles and climate emergency analysis are completely uninfluenced and uncensored by any political agenda, political party, or other financial or fossil fuel lobbyist intervention. Unlike other climate and environmental nonprofit educational organizations, we refuse to knowingly accept donations from fossil fuel lobbyists, producers, or industries that rely on fossil fuels, to ensure there are no conflicts of interest, actual or apparent.
Job One has received the highest Platinum trust rating for financial transparency from Guidestar, an independent organization that examines nonprofit organizations' financial and other actions.
Job One for Humanity provides science-based analysis of climate change consequences, timeframes, risk assessments, and solutions to executives at educational, climate, and environmental organizations worldwide at no charge. For insurance companies, governments, and businesses affected by climate change emergencies, we provide a fee-based service for climate analysis, risk assessment, and solutions.
Job One For Humanity is an all-volunteer organization, meaning administrators, bookkeepers, climate change researchers, and analysts all volunteer their work to protect the cycle of life for future generations. Unresolved climate change is the mega-disruptor of the 21st century that can not only threaten the possibility of successful future generations, but also alter life for existing generations, making life on earth unbearable or impossible.

Our Relationship with the Universe Institute Think Tank
We have been in a collaborative relationship with the Universe Institute for over a decade on climate change issues. We are deeply grateful to the Universe Institute for introducing us to DMAP, the new dialectical metasystemic analysis and problem-solving methodology. Without the assistance of the Universe Institute and our use of the DMAP breakthrough, the uncensored climate change analysis, forecasts, and solutions you find on the Job One website would not have been possible.
Why uncensored climate change facts are so important in this time of ecological, social, political, and economic transition and turmoil
The Job One for Humanity climate think tank is one of the few places where you will get uncensored climate change facts. This is more important today than ever.
We are in the age when governments and corporations (or the media they control) that profit directly or indirectly from fossil fuels are using every means necessary to censor or block climate change data that could reduce their profits or power. Climate change scientists and researchers worldwide who have in the past spoken out with the actual facts of the climate change emergency have been vilified, doxed, harassed, fired, demoted, defunded, had their tenure removed, or sued into silence. These relentless attacks on honest individual climate change scientists and researchers who speak out have had a massive chilling effect on these individuals worldwide.
Worse yet, because of the billions of dollars spent on disinformation and manipulation of climate facts, most of humanity now believes the climate change fairytales being told by our governments and mass media that we are safe until 2100, that we are making progress, that climate change isn't a major problem, etc.
This means it's more important than ever that uncensored voices continue to speak the truth about climate change to power and anyone willing to listen. Job One is never censored by any government or corporation because we receive no funding from them. We are 100% funded by the public, with an average donation of around $25.
Another reason we continue to provide uncensored climate data to you is that you have the same right to this information as the privileged billionaires, the top executives of multinational megacorporations, and the political elite who are already building survival bunkers or planning how they will save their loved ones and wealth from the accelerating global nightmare of climate change. Why should their wealth give them privileged and exclusive access to survival-critical risk assessment information you can not afford?
At Job One, we provide nearly all of the same climate change risk assessment information for free, and some for the cost of a small, tax-deductible donation, which helps keep us independent and 100% publicly funded. The good news is that our uncensored climate change information can help you, your family, and your business avoid unnecessary suffering and loss.
Our Climate Change Think Tank's 2025 Mission
The simplest and honest mission message Job One has for the world today about our ability to "fix" climate change and our climate future is:
"We are out of time! Our governments missed the last window of opportunity to control our climate change future without mass die-offs due to ongoing dirty tricks by the fossil fuel cartel, decades of gross underestimation of climate change consequences and timetables by the IPCC, Garrett's Climate Change Dilemma, and about 30 additional reasons (found here).
It is now too late to save about half of humanity for more than another few decades. All we can do now is prepare well, radically cut global fossil fuel use one way or another, and hope we can save the other half of humanity before we lose even that option."
The following sums up our mission in a more expanded way:
Despite what you hear in the media and from the government, climate change is currently out of our effective control. We are currently in a state of irreversible global warming despite the media and your governments hiding this dangerous fact from you, your family, and your business.
The horrible consequences of climate change will persist for many decades to centuries due to its already baked-in consequences and the momentum of global heating. It is highly probable that about 50% of humanity will perish by 2050 due to the escalating consequences of climate change.
Therefore, the primary focus of our mission must be educating the public about:
a. our uncensored current climate change condition and our most probable climate change future consequences.
b. why our governments must meet 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, or hardly anyone or anything will be left of humanity and our civilization by 2070.
c. climate change emergency preparation for the coming unavoidable consequences.
d. climate change adaptation strategies, and
e. climate change resilience-building. (This resilience-building would also include preserving everything we can of the best of human civilization for the post-climate change emergency and post-global collapse times.)
f. the need for the world to rapidly evolve effective global governance to handle humanity's critical transnational crises like climate change. Here is a 16-minute, brilliant video that lucidly explains why some form of global governance is indispensable for humanity to resolve its many current crises, such as accelerating climate change and war. It also explains why the world's well-intended nonprofits may be winning many small environmental or social issue battles, but they are horribly losing the war for the future survival of the planet.
The video is titled "The Forgotten History of the Idea of Global Democracy." Click here to view this powerful and well-thought-out video. It also illuminates why Job One for Humanity has been educating about evolving some form of global governance as part of its core mission for decades.
The above preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building new 2025 mission focus is solely because resolving the accelerating climate change emergency for the foreseeable future has become highly improbable (for these 30 reasons), and catastrophic, soon-arriving change consequences are now unavoidable.
From Job One's executive director and DMAP senior analyst:
"When you realize that our governments have totally failed to control climate change (when it was still controllable,) and you understand accelerating global warming is now beyond our near-term control for centuries and --- that it is time to prepare for the many coming climate change catastrophes to minimize suffering and loss, Job One for Humanity (and our sister organization ClimateSafe Villages) is and will be there for you.
At Job One, you will find the information you need for climate change emergency preparation, adaptation, resilience-building, and recovery. At Job One, we never apologize for our uncensored, often painful, climate change facts and analysis. The stakes are far too high not to speak the truth about what is now being hidden from the global public." Lawrence Wollersheim

About Job One for Humanity and the Global Fossil Fuel Cartel
We have already experienced several attempts to infiltrate and undermine our organization and mission by agent provocateurs seeking to hinder our progress toward achieving it. The global fossil fuel conglomerate is the world's largest single industry, producing approximately one-third of the Earth's total gross domestic product, amounting to around $30 trillion annually.
They are very unhappy with us publishing uncensored climate change research and analysis, not to mention the required honest global fossil fuel reduction targets found here and the special Climate Justice Now section of our website that helps individuals get the support and connections they need to successfully sue fossil fuel companies for the climate change damages they have suffered.
The widespread, uncensored distribution of this climate analysis and solutions has led many individuals, organizations, and governments to realize they have been misled by previously fossil-fuel-influenced climate information. As an independent and uncensored climate change think tank funded 100% by the public, and with our climate analysis and research solutions distributed worldwide, we believe we have recently reached the top of the fossil fuel industry's most disliked organizations. We consider that to be an honor.
What Job One for Humanity Does
We work to achieve the best possible outcomes on climate change while preparing for its worst possible consequences. To do this, Job One offers information to understand the climate change emergency, how to prepare, adapt, and build resilience for it, and how to effectively fix it by providing:
Priority 1. Education on effective climate change emergency preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building solutions. Our climate change emergency preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building solutions will help individuals prepare for and lessen the impacts of many of our other 11 major global crises.
One important way we educate and promote emergency preparation, climate change adaptation, and resilience-building is through ClimateSafe Villages, a nonprofit organization we helped co-found that partners with us in this work. Click here to learn more about ClimateSafe Villages.
Priority 2. Science-grounded, uncensored, and unpoliticized climate change causes, facts, tools, and analysis. (Click here for the most current climate facts.)
Priority 3. A science-grounded, realistic hope for our climate change future based on honestly facing our current conditions and using effective, prioritized, and deadline-driven remedial actions.
Priority 4: Education on climate change justice and restitution for the victims of climate change by bringing effective lawsuits against the creators of the climate change emergency in what we call our Climate Justice Now program. This is the program we believe will be the most effective in saving as many people as possible.
Click here for a full explanation of our Climate Justice Now program, who is creating the climate change emergency, and how to best get climate justice for climate change-related deaths and financial losses.
The widespread sharing of our uncensored climate analysis and solutions will help slow and ultimately prevent a near-total human extinction event. Individuals who discover and utilize our information will also need to take the following steps to preserve and protect as much human and biological life as possible from the primary and secondary consequences of climate change. They will need to:
1. create a widespread and uncensored awareness of the current climate change emergency,
2. create a widespread willingness to engage in immediate and effective climate change remedial action plan within individuals, groups, businesses, and nations (our PLAN B.)
2a. This would also include educating about effective climate change justice and restitution for the victims of climate change by bringing lawsuits against the creators of the climate change emergency. (Click here for a full explanation of who is creating the climate change emergency and how to best get climate justice for climate change victims.)
3. work toward minimizing climate change-related suffering and death while simultaneously maximizing the well-being of all human, biological, and ecological systems that we can do within our harsh current and future climate change conditions.
Our Audience
Our climate change materials are designed for other climate change researchers, environmental writers, and individuals with moderate to high knowledge of climate change. Climate change is a highly complex area because the climate is a complex adaptive system.
Individuals who lack training in system theory and complex adaptive systems, or DMAP (the dialectical metasystemic analysis and problem-solving methodology), and who struggle with complex, detailed information and following multiple consequence chains, may find it challenging to read our materials. Individuals who are poorly educated or unfamiliar with the basic principles of climate change will face the greatest difficulties in understanding the materials on our website.
As of January 2025, our organization's mission focuses on empowering intelligent and informed individuals who can recognize the steadily worsening patterns in the climate and who want to avoid unnecessary climate change consequences.
Our organization does not attempt to convert climate deniers or educate individuals who are currently unaware of the worsening consequences of climate change. By the time climate deniers and those individuals not paying attention to the climate catastrophes occurring right in front of them finally realize the climate change emergency, it will most likely be too late for them to prepare for the emergency or adapt to it.
With limited resources, we must be practical and focus primarily on those who are already well-informed, ready to hear our message, and willing to take action to protect themselves and others.
Our think tank's leaning, position, or "bias"
All think tanks have open or hidden leanings, positions, or biases. These biases or leanings are almost always based directly on who is funding them, with the largest donations or subsidies.
There are conservative-leaning, progressive-leaning, evangelical-leaning, Jewish-leaning, and industry-specific think tanks. No matter what they publicly profess, think tanks always represent the interests of their funders, openly or secretly.
Because of this avoidable funding conflict of interest, all think tanks should be treated as highly biased toward their funders' needs and interests. Unethical think tanks have even been known to regularly alter or misrepresent facts to further their funders' financial, political, or religious interests.
100% public funding makes the Job One for Humanity think tank different from almost all other think tanks. Because we are 100% publicly funded, our bias or position is always to protect the universal best interests of the common good and well-being of all humanity. This means you will find our uncensored climate change analysis, forecasts, and facts considerably different (and usually far worse) than those of other climate change, environmental, or other political or industrial think tanks with transparent or hidden special-interest funding from significant donors. (The average donation to Job One is about $15 US.)
In Job One, we protect only one special interest: humanity's well-being, good, and survival from and through the climate change emergency.
Our prioritized educational and action goals for 2025 and beyond
Currently, we have two major educational priorities for 2025 and beyond:
1. Launching the Universe One ClimateSafe Village and getting lots of the new ClimateSafe Villages set up worldwide. This way, we save as many people as possible because our governments and politicians will not do this until there is a horrendous population collapse, economic losses, and social chaos.
2. Educate people about the uncensored nature of the climate change emergency (not the grossly underestimated "keep the population ignorant, quiet, and not demanding change" manipulated reports from the government and the media). More people will start preparing themselves and their businesses with an accurate analysis of climate change, acknowledging what we can no longer avoid.
Hopefully, within the group of people we help educate, there will be individuals with direct influence on politicians who can convey the actual truth about climate change to them. If we are fortunate, eventually, our politicians will act to fix the climate nightmare. But the odds do not look good for that happening anytime soon.
Our climate research indicates that politicians will not act until the human suffering and financial costs of climate change are many times greater than they are now. Unfortunately, that point is probably a decade or longer from 2023, when 70% to 95% of humanity is already doomed to extinction by about 2070.
Here is how we will get the above two priorities done:
A. Educating about preparing for, adapting to, and building enhanced human and biological resilience to survive climate change's ongoing catastrophic or unavoidable consequences while time remains to do so.
This preparation step also means it is time to educate humanity and prepare for the significant sacrifices we must make to reach the 2025-2026 global fossil fuel reduction targets. It is also time to start preparing humankind for the unimaginable and unavoidable suffering that is soon to arrive. (The new ClimateSafe Villages will be especially helpful in completing this action step.)
while simultaneously working to prevent the worst consequences by educating individuals who will,
B. And if we do not get close to the survival-critical 2025-2026 global fossil fuel reduction targets, with the hope that a good portion of the human population will survive, we will educate:
1. to help younger individuals and families migrate from high-risk global heating areas to safer areas before it is too late to make these moves, (We forward the position that younger generations (X.Y Z, and A) who did not create or ignore the rreversible global warming extinction nightmare have a far greater right to occupy the remaining global heating safest lands and to survive longer.)
2. to help support building the Universe One CSV and many urban, rural, and virtual new ClimateSafe Villages (ecologically sustainable communities) worldwide for our younger generations that:
a. might also allow at least some small part of our younger generations to survive where they are currently living, through the coming climate-change-propelled global collapse, extinction, and possible rebirth process and cycle,
b. might learn from and apply the many hard lessons of irreversible global warming and the other ecological, economic, and political consequences that will happen to us because of the ultimate consequences of our current overconsuming, highly unsustainable, and inequitable lives.
If survivors exist in these eco-communities, they and their eco-communities would serve as "beacons of light," modeling critical new ideas, values, and behaviors for an eventual Great Global Rebirth. To see what these new ideas, values, and behaviors might look like, click here and see Benefit 1.
(Please be aware that the continuous pain and suffering any survivors will go through is so immense and unimaginable that many survivors will wish they had died in the Great Global Collapse. For most, survival will be closer to a subsistence existence. Because surviving irreversible global warming will be a living hell, we must lessen that hell for survivors by getting as close to the 2025 global reduction targets as possible.)
3. to help our governments develop Plan B climate crisis management plans for handling the sudden and massive loss of life and unfolding social and economic chaos from now until mid-century from the unavoidable, irreversible global warming consequences.
Because of our 60 years of inaction and ineffective action on the global heating emergency, the informative creative destruction that will occur as half the human population unavoidably goes extinct is unconscionable and the greatest horror in human history. Yet, it is also an equally powerful opportunity to create a better world and even a great global rebirth. (To learn more about the many benefits, improvements, and new societal values that could emerge for humanity from this unsought-after evolutionary challenge and opportunity, click here.)
C. compel our governments hard and continuously to enforce radically cutting global fossil fuel use to get close to the 2025 global targets to slow down irreversible global warming sufficiently so that we can avoid near-total human and biological extinction, and more of humanity can live a little longer and more securely. (We can no longer save half of humanity, but still have a chance to save much of humanity.)
D. Educate about effective climate change justice and restitution for the victims of climate change by bringing lawsuits against the creators of the climate change emergency. (Click here for a full explanation of who is creating the climate change emergency and how to best get climate justice for climate change victims.)
Humanity's future depends on how quickly we can mitigate and minimize the worst effects of the irreversible global warming extinction emergency. The next 3 to 6 years will determine the future viability and survival rates of humanity. (If you would like to see the analysis of many factors that brought us to the realization that, at best, climate change is only 3-6 years away (2025-2031) from going out of our control for centuries to millennia, click here.)
We understand that the above is a distressing and problematic climate update. However, the good news is that if our governments mass-mobilize and bring us close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, we will still be able to save as much as half of humanity. We will also be able to save many of our planet's beautiful plant and animal species, as well as other living systems.
So, let's get busy and work together to save and salvage what we need to survive and what we dearly love.
(Please note: The above climate and global heating facts are currently being censored or altered by the actions of powerful fossil fuel industry lobbyists upon the media and our governments. Yet, widely visible climate and global heating consequences and current climate science-based predictions support the above statements as accurate.)
An Important Explanation for Our Updated Mission and Goals
Our overall mission strategy is always based on working wholeheartedly toward the best possible climate outcomes while simultaneously being aware of and preparing for the worst possible climate outcomes.
In March of 2022, Job One For Humanity again reviewed climate science and updated its position on climate change and the irreversible global warming emergency. It concluded that:
As a result of ignoring 60 years of valid scientific warnings and not resolving the climate change and rising global heating emergency, we have already locked ourselves into the beginning phase of irreversible global warming and the unavoidable extinction of about half of humanity by mid-century. Mass human extinction is now inevitable and unavoidable because we have already gone over the irreversible global warming climate cliff when we reached the carbon 386 ppm level. Unfortunately, at our current carbon level of 420+ ppm, we are accelerating our own extinction because we will cross even more climate tipping points and amplify climate feedback loops more rapidly.
The good news is that we can still save much of the other half of humanity, but only if we get close to reaching the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets as soon as possible. The even better news is that when we finally fix global heating, there will be many positive benefits and possibly a Great Global Rebirth.
(The above is also our core message.)
The first mass extinction-level event, expected to affect approximately half of humanity by mid-century, will primarily result from mass starvation driven by climate change-related crop failures, low yields, and soaring food prices. It will also be caused by growing resource shortages and increasing regional and national conflicts as tens of millions of starving climate refugees seek new homes.
If humanity does not get close to achieving the required and radical 2025-26 global reductions in fossil fuel use (as described in detail on this global targets page), humanity will also face an even worse second extinction-level of near-total extinction beginning as soon as 2070. (Click here to discover why total human extinction is not realistic or probable, and the worst humanity could experience is near-total extinction (about 50 to 90+% of humanity going extinct.)
Accordingly, we have had to update our prior mission and goals due to the preceding and increasingly severe consequences of global climate change and global warming. Because the likelihood of meeting the 2025-26 global targets for reducing fossil fuel emissions is so low, part of our mission upgrade was to create a new Plan B for the irreversible global warming extinction emergency.
With our new Plan B, while we are still working diligently on preventing near-total extinction, we have shifted a significant amount of our mission focus to also helping individuals, families, and businesses to become aware that they now need to start preparing themselves physically, emotionally, and psychologically for what can no longer be avoided; the extinction of about half of humanity by mid-century.
We are educating them on how to adapt to and build climate resilience (and other kinds of resilience) in their homes, businesses, and essential local, regional, and national systems. Our new Plan B reflects our upgraded mission and focuses on maximizing all possible human, biological, and ecological benefits within our current challenging and painful climate position.

What Job One for Humanity has to educate about to achieve the above goals for 2025 and beyond
1. Help everyone understand the principle of accelerating extinction risk related to climate tipping points and amplifying feedback loops. A 2.0 °C global temperature rise is not merely a slight increase over 1.5 °C; it is exponentially worse.
2. Help everyone to understand that because of our six decades of ineffective climate action and climate inaction, the death of about 1/2 of humanity by mid-century is already unavoidable because of accelerating climate-related consequences by mid-century
3. Help everyone understand that if we are very lucky, global warming will remain at a stage and level where we may still be able to prevent a near-total human extinction, if only for the next 3 to 6 years.
4. Help today's youth, environmental activists, and the world's citizens understand they need to force their governments to act now to get close to the 2025-26 global fossil fuel reduction targets and produce 10, 20, and 50-year plans that have enough detail that they know how to manage accelerating climate consequences and other critical resource collapses.
5. Help activist leaders and governments understand how to address HOW the world will humanely deal with, prepare for, and adapt to colossal population crashes and manage the many consequences of the accelerating global warming decline process. We want to help them develop their climate change emergency Plan B.

1. by creating more global heating-educated Job One members, subscribers, and citizens,
2. by creating more global heating educator-activists.
3. by preparing more people for the many soon-arriving and unavoidable global heating consequences.
4. by eventually helping to develop more climate resilience and sustainability-building hubs in every major city and town worldwide. (These hubs will facilitate where generations X, Y, Z, and A can meet and build their climate-resilient and equitable futures.)
5. by saving more generations X, Y, Z, and A from the climate-driven extinction and collapse cycle.
6. By building new (or upgrading older intentional sustainable communities that can survive the extinction and collapse cycle.
Additional reasons why we do what we do
Job One for Humanity, founded in 2008, is a non-profit, independent, and 100% publicly funded climate change think tank that provides an uncensored "big picture" holistic view and analysis of the many interconnected and interdependent climate systems creating our current climate change emergency and irreversible global warming.
We believe that every global citizen deserves the same climate change future threat and risk information as is given to our national intelligence agencies. Every citizen should also have access to the same climate information that hedge funds, investment banks, and billionaires purchase at great expense from their specialty risk analysis firms.
Unrestricted and uncensored knowledge about climate change risks is critical for all citizens to make informed decisions about initiating appropriate survival-related emergency preparations, adaptations, or relocations in anticipation of avoidable and unavoidable climate catastrophes. Furthermore, our free climate change facts and analysis ensure that every global citizen can protect themselves, their families, and their businesses, as well as those with political privilege, high-security governmental positions, or great wealth.
Our climate articles and climate emergency analysis are completely uninfluenced and uncensored by any political agenda, political party, or other political force. Unlike many other climate and environmental nonprofit educational organizations, we refuse to knowingly accept donations from fossil fuel lobbyists, producers, or industries that rely on fossil fuels, to ensure there are no conflicts of interest, actual or apparent.
We promise that our fully independent climate change think tank will always tell you the full climate truth, including what many often do not want to hear about our current climate change emergency. Unfortunately, this IS the painful same climate change information you need to protect yourself and your future.
More About the Job One for Humanity Organization
Job One for Humanity is an independent climate change think tank that provides a "big picture" holistic view and analysis of the interconnected, interdependent climate systems that are creating our current climate change emergency.
We conduct climate change analyses based on existing climate research. While we do not conduct original climate research in-house, we use peer-reviewed research papers from independent and respected climate scientists, as well as climate research from organizations such as the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
This organization reviews and utilizes numerous climate research papers and summary materials in its climate analysis, prediction, and recommendations.
They are found listed:
1. in this extensive but still partial master list of these related or relevant climate research papers and summaries.
2. in many available video presentations by the climate scientists or researchers describing their own research. Click here to see an example in the video of the renowned climate scientist Kevin Anderson presenting the climate emergency at Oxford.
3. in the body of many of our web pages, in the links on those pages, or in the endnotes or technical notes found at the end of many pages.
We provide our climate and global heating educational information to individuals and organizations, understanding that they will independently evaluate it and decide upon its usefulness and accuracy based on the best climate science and analysis currently available.
As an organization, we speak climate truth to power and always treat our visitors and members as adults who can process often-painful facts. We candidly speak climate truth to power also because there is no time left to hide or sugar-cote the facts surrounding the irreversible global warming emergency.
iOur website pages offer an appropriate, proportional, and rational hope that we can still fix the climate and save humanity from the climate's worst possible extinction possibilities. We base this measured hope solely on current climate science and advanced dialectical metasystemic analysis.
All the remedial actions we recommend for global heating and climate change are provided on a self-motivated, self-organized, and self-directed Do-It-Yourself (DIY) basis. Although we will answer climate questions and provide limited encouragement through our online member support system, you are responsible for spreading the word and telling others about this website's climate information and tools. Responsibility for the preparations, adaptations, and global heating remedial actions necessary to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your business from what is coming remains as it should, exclusively with you.
More About Our Climate Change Research, Review, and Analysis Processes
Using the principles of system theory and dialectical metasystemic thinking applied to the climate as a complex adaptive system, we review and then analyze current and past climate change research and public climate summaries for:
1. errors,
2. omissions,
3. previously unrecognized positive or negative patterns in or between climate studies,
4. unseen interconnections or consequence connections within and between climate studies, and
5. the unseen and hidden politicization, censorship, or the watering down of climate science by governmental agencies or other types of agents in public climate summary reports.
The problems in 1-5 above can significantly affect the validity of current and future statements or positions concerning climate consequence timetables or the frequency, severity, and scale of climate consequences. Using system theory and dialectical metasystemic thinking applied to the climate as a complex adaptive system, we also review research papers and public statements on the climate for:
1. discernable or hidden biases, and
2. undeclared financial or other conflicts of interest.
The above two problems have recently become far more prevalent and have been significantly underestimated in public climate summaries and statements. Climate think tanks, individuals or groups operating as unknown fossil fuel lobbyists, and climate researchers funded by the fossil fuel-related industries have become the biggest offenders in this area.
Instead of our analyzing only one area of specialized climate study like the oceans, glaciers, ice and snow packs, planetary temperature history, water vapor, soils, forests, or greenhouse gas factors on temperature and the atmosphere, we analyze climate research on how it holistically applies and interrelates to all different areas within and between the climate's interrelated, interconnected, and interdependent systems and subsystems.
Using the tools of dialectical metasystemic thinking, we examine climate studies, their positions, and the related interactions among the climate system and its subsystems through 28 distinct dialectical analysis perspectives and lenses. This allows us also to see, consider, and value natural or human counteractions that may occur in response to the various primary and secondary consequences of climate change and global heating.
After that extensive analysis, we make predictions of climate impact severity and time frame, and remedial recommendations for the appropriate global fossil fuel reduction levels to minimize human loss and suffering. Our final analysis, forecasts, and recommendations always include all necessary adjustments to address any problems, errors, omissions, underestimations, or politicization we discover in current climate research or summaries. Click here to see the many errors, underestimation, and politicization we found in a major recognized source of global climate research and recommendations.
Unlike many other climate change think tanks, we do provide prioritized, critical-path, and deadline-driven solutions to the climate change emergency. These solutions are based on accurate global fossil fuel reduction targets and on avoiding the most dangerous climate tipping points and feedback deadlines we currently face.
Job One for Humanity is currently helping expose the current intense politicization of climate science. This intense politicization of science by the media, governments, and even the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) serves to advance a gross underestimation of our current and actual climate consequences, timeframes, remedies, and conditions.
Unexpectedly, our independent climate change analysis has turned us into reluctant whistleblowers exposing how popular and politicized climate data has been distorted to serve the hidden interests of those who gain financially (or in other ways) from the ongoing global use of fossil fuels and hiding the real danger the public faces from the irreversible global warming extinction emergency.
Please note that our education materials, due to their serious and adult nature, are not intended for adolescents under 16!
We are an all-volunteer organization, which is very rare these days. Our volunteers are independent, self-organizing individuals who are passionate about fixing climate change before it is too late.
The core of our organization comprises think tank climate analysts and researchers who have volunteered their time. One could also think of us as a unique, partially crowdsourced think tank.
Our volunteers self-organize to handle our social media, marketing, research, events, and even accounting. In addition, our volunteers handle all Climate Change Blog postings, as they have for years. Click here to see a profile of our members, volunteers, and the audience of curious visitors who will most benefit from our website.
According to Google Analytics, as of March 5, 2022, 4.5 million unique visitors have visited our website to review our independent, non-political climate change analysis and research over the last five years. Additionally, scores of Facebook climate change newsgroups regularly like and comment on our original climate analysis and articles.
Our website has easy-to-understand illustrations, descriptions, and documentation. Our website illuminates the "big picture" of the physics- and math-determined interactions among the climate's many complex adaptive systems.
Our mission is currently to educate individuals and businesses on preparing to adapt to the climate consequences we can no longer avoid! Our focus is to support and work with individuals, businesses, and groups who are bravely facing the many unavoidable, severe consequences of climate change. At the same time, those groups are also encouraged to work to slow and lessen those consequences so we still have time to save and salvage as much of humanity and our civilization as we can.
We will do everything we can to help individuals, businesses, and groups survive this long-term nightmare so they might eventually birth a sustainable, just, and equitable global society, what we call the Great Global Rebirth.
Please donate any amount to help keep our 100% publicly funded nonprofit think tank free for everyone! Help us to keep providing uncensored climate change forecasts, facts, and solutions to the public.

Our Previous pre-2023 Goals and Mission (for Historical Purposes)
(The sections below will help you to see how our goals and mission have evolved since 2009 up until 2023. They will help you see back into our evolution and gain a deeper understanding of our history. They will also give you a good overview of the policies we have set for ourselves for how we will achieve our goals and mission.)
Due to the rapid worsening of the world's major global crises, our deteriorating environment, and the further acceleration of the climate change emergency, our organization was compelled to update its mission once again on March 15, 2022. We have refocused our mission to serve individuals, businesses, and groups who want to survive the impending Great Global Collapse and the potential extinction of much of humanity. The higher purpose of trying to survive what is coming (beyond mere survival itself) is to learn the painful lessons from the many intertwined causes of the Great Global Collapse and use that wisdom to create a Great Global Rebirth for humanity's survivors.
The prioritized educational goals of the Job One for Humanity non-profit organization are:
One: To help individuals and businesses decide on one of the four critical climate change choices and personal action or inaction options found on this page.
Until there is a clear decision about how to address climate change, there is inaction or confusion for both individuals and businesses. This brief page is essential for helping individuals and businesses make informed decisions about climate change, tailored to their specific circumstances and available resources. This page is the must-do starting point to help all individuals and businesses successfully support those who come to us for information and assistance related to the climate change emergency.
Two: Get far more individuals and businesses prepared for and adapting to climate change's escalating primary and secondary economic, ecological, social, and political consequences. (How to prepare for them is found in Part One, and how to adapt to them is found in Part Two of the Job One for Humanity Climate and Global Crisis Resilience Plan.)
Three: Work to Prevent a climate change-triggered near-total human extinction event from occurring. The climate change-triggered extinction process is, unfortunately, well underway. Moreover, near-total extinction is now a growing probability because of a series of current and coming climate change consequences worsening most of the world's 11 other major global crises.
Near-total extinction is also accurate because we have waited far too long to reduce our global fossil fuel use to safe levels. Because of our 60-year global fossil fuel reduction failure, we now face an unavoidable mass die-off of about half or more of humanity by mid-century! (If such a mass die-off is not possible or pausable to you, please read this page now, which takes you through the detailed steps of the climate-triggered mass extinction process.)
At this point, we must get our governments working together to avoid near-total human extinction, which could begin as soon as 2070 or sooner.
We only prevent near-total extinction from occurring by successfully compelling our politicians and world governments to slow down the accelerating climate change and global warming nightmare before it is too late! Because of climate consequences time lags, our governments must mass-mobilize NOW. They must immediately enforce the correct extinction-preventing 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. (The precise steps of what our governments must do are found in Part Three of the Job One Plan.)
We are running out of time! In 2022, we must compel the world's governments to begin enforcing the needed 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. How to get those who do have the required real, immediate, and direct influence over the world's politicians (the 1% wealthiest individuals, corporations, and celebrities) is found in Part 4 of the Job One Plan. (With so little time left until 2025, only the 1% of wealthiest individuals, corporations, and celebrities can get the politicians to act before it is too late!
Four: Support the creation of new eco-communities of Evolutioneers in climate change safer locations. We will provide critical information needed to prepare for, adapt to, and survive the rapidly accelerating climate change emergency and the steady worsening of our 11 other major global crises.
Building sustainable new eco-communities is so essential because our governments are still failing to come even close to the life-critical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. Building many new eco-communities worldwide is so essential because individuals, small family groups, or clans will not be large enough or able to provide or make enough critical resources or defense necessary to make it through the later dark age-like stages of the Great Global Collapse.
These sustainable new eco-communities are essential if we are ever to experience a Great Global Rebirth!
Only those sustainable eco-communities that are well-prepared, well-defended, and have the deepest emotional, philosophical, and shared spiritual ties will possess the physical, psychological, and spiritual resilience necessary to survive the horrors and difficult daily survival decisions they will face.
Both Job One for Humanity and its sister website Universe Spirit will help to provide critical physical, psychological, and universalized spiritual information these new eco-communities need. This information will help give these new Great Global Rebirth communities the best chance to survive the Great Global Collapse and build a better world from the painful lessons learned. (Job One will focus on the physical and emotional aspects of being well prepared and adapting to what is coming, and Universe Spirit will focus on the possible philosophical and universal spiritual common ties and vision needed in these new communities.
Job One for Humanity will provide critical information to help you understand the multi-threat global emergency we all now face due to global warming worsening with the world's other 11 major global crises. Hopefully, many individuals and businesses will use our warnings and information to help slow global warming and prepare for and adapt to it so they can survive and learn from the coming harsh lessons.
If the hard and painful evolutionary lessons of the Great Global Collapse are learned, those lessons can become the new foundation of a new and Great Global Rebirth. (Job One and Universe Spirit are both also focused on forwarding the possibilities of the Great Global Rebirth.
(See this link for more about our eco-community vision.)
Five: Collect, envision, and promote the structures, processes, and policies needed to support and maintain the post-collapse Great Global Rebirth. These will be the structures, processes, and policies required for the new surviving population level to be sustainable and always limited by and to the Earth's carrying capacity. Click here to start discovering some of those structures, processes, and policies of the new sustainable prosperity the survivors will create from the painful lessons learned from the Great Global Collapse.
The Great Global Rebirth would eventually include evolving a new form of a global country for ALL of humanity or an empowered global or world federalist-style government that would always first work for the collective wellbeing of ALL world citizens. If we already had a valid, empowered, and working global government, the global warming emergency and the other 11 global crises causing the Great coming Global Collapse would be far easier and more likely to be resolved.
The Great Global Rebirth would also include evolving new forms of economics. This new form of economics would allow all working citizens to have a living wage and not concentrate dangerous, excessive, or extreme levels of power or wealth in the hands of any individual or company.
Six: As a last resort, educate more governments worldwide to begin the steps and parts of the Job One Climate and Global Crises Resilience Plan B options.
We must also have a Plan B backup plan in motion because our governments might fail to meet the life-critical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. In that case, we must have a national Plan B in process with the needed nationwide emergency preparation, adaptation, and migration actions. Governmental level Plan B actions will be required to save and salvage whatever we can of humanity and civilization before it is too late.
If we successfully execute the Job One Climate and Global Crisis Resilience Plan B, there is a chance that some of humanity will survive. If some of humanity survives the Great Global Collapse and learns from its mistakes, humanity will have a new opportunity to usher in a Great Global Rebirth.
Having a Plan B in place directly deals with the harsh reality that humanity faces a highly probable near-total extinction, and there are no guarantees our governments act in time!
In summary of these short term goals, our initial and primary focus is to support the preparation and adaptation work of those individuals and groups that are bravely facing our many unavoidable and severe global warming and our 11 other environmental and social global crises, while at the same time, they are working to slow and lessen those consequences so we still have time to save and salvage as much of humanity and our civilization as we can. We will do everything we can to help individuals, groups, and their children survive this long-term nightmare so they may eventually birth a sustainable, just, and equitable global society.
To achieve the above goals our mission must inform and inspire individuals and businesses to:
1. make their decision on one of the four critical climate change choice options found on this page.
2. work to prevent a global warming-caused near-total extinction event. This means getting the world's governments to mass mobilize and radically slow down global fossil fuel use and get close to the real and honest 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets so that, even though we currently can't avoid a mass extinction event by mid-century, at least, we can avoid near-total extinction." (Click here to see how we must and can slow down the global use of fossil fuels to prevent the complete extinction of humanity.)
In 2022. the key way we will try to get the governments of the world to enforce the needed 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets is described in Part 4 of the Job One Plan.
And while you also do your best to,
3. prepare for and adapt to the now unavoidable global warming-related consequences and a global warming-triggered mass extinction of much of humanity by mid-century.
(Because global warming consequences are getting worse so fast we have shifted much of our focus to this step. The prepare and adapt actions found within the Job One for Humanity Climate and Global Crisis Resilience Plan also will help you prepare for and adapt to the growing consequences from the world's other 11 most critical challenges.)
The above needs to be done while you simultaneously
4. work to save and salvage as much of humanity and our civilization as you can for as long as you can. (This "save and salvage" survival action is necessary as a backup plan because as it looks now, our odds are all but impossible for successfully managing the accelerating global warming challenge to avoid the mass die-off of much of humanity by mid-century.
Even though much of humanity will be lost and the road ahead will be painful beyond anything humanity has ever endured, avoiding near-total extinction and saving and salvaging some of humanity and our civilization is far better than saving and salvaging none of humanity and our civilization! To meet this avoid near-total extinction and save and salvage something for the future goal, we must at least come close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets.)
5. learn and enact the principles of Sustainable Prosperity in your lifestyle and livelihood. While we work collectively using the Job One Plan to slow down accelerating global warming and the worsening of the other 11 global crises as much as possible, we also need to build a thriving and sustainable future for those who do survive. (Click here to see what you can do to live more sustainably. This also includes creating new eco-communities where you live now or in new safer locations.)
And finally, if we survive the mess we have created for ourselves,
6. evolve effective global governance with the needed legislative, judicial, and enforceable executive powers to solve all of the global challenges that cross national borders. If you think about it deeply, you will discover that this critical evolutionary failure of not having yet developed effective global governance is a core structural cause of why most of our current 12 biggest global crises have not been resolved, and they continue to worsen.
Even though it looks like someone is managing the well-being of the planet as a whole from the United Nations or our international treaties, this is an illusion! No one governing body is effectively or responsibly driving our global "car," and this collective "car is speeding toward a cliff without any single and empowered organization in the driver's seat.
Our organization will provide knowledge and as much support as possible, but it is you who will need to put in the hard work to turn your part of this mess around!
And finally, all is not bleak, bad, and lost, just starting the process of working on fixing our mess we will also receive many surprise benefits as we work toward success and creating a Great Global Rebirth. (Please click here at some point to read The Surprise Benefits of Global Warming, the most-read page on our website.)
"We can no longer avoid many of the worse consequences of global warming interacting with the 11 other major global crises. Therefore, our goal for dealing with the accelerating near-total extinction threat must be to save as many people and as much of our civilization as we possibly can---while we still can!" Lawrence Wollersheim
More About the Global Warming Extinction Emergency
The global warming emergency is taking place within a larger context of 11 other serious global crises. We focus on the global warming because accelerating global warming represents the greatest imminent extinction threat other than a nuclear war.
Global warming IS also the greatest multiplier, disrupter, and threat amplifyer for most of our 11 other global crises.
We also focus on global warming because of the principle of "first things first."
If the statement that we are already in a process of a global collapse fueled by accelerating global warming converging with and amplyfing our other 11 other serious global crises seems untrue to you, please click here. This page will discuss the most dangerous global crises we currently face and how they are worsening.
The great news is that the steps of the Job One Plan for resolving the global warming emergency will also help slow down or mitigate many of the world's 11 other growing global challenges.
The harsh reality is --- if we do not resolve the global warming extinction threat on a "highest-priority first" basis, we will not be able to fix it later, much less resolve the world's other 11 worsening global crises which also are fueling the global collapse process.
At Job One for Humanity, we will show you how to survive and thrive through the global warming extinction emergency and many of the other 11 global crises.
Welcome to the greatest evolutionary challenge and opportunity in human history; how to prevent or survive the Great Global Collapse!
Simply stated, our collective challenge is:
1. how well can humanity manage the accelerating global warming extinction emergency and our other 11 major global challenges at the same time, and,
2. how can we save and salvage as much of humanity and the best of our civilization before it is too late. This is the bitter reality because we have waited too long to reduce global fossil fuel use. (A die-off of much of humanity by mid-century is now all but unavoidable.)
The good news here is that if we are successful with our survival-critical global warming reduction tasks and we act as one human family, we also will be able to eventually create a thriving, sustainable, and equitable future for all."
Resolving the global warming emergency while the world's other 11 critical crises are also getting worse will be difficult and painful to the extreme, but in doing so, it also will be tremendously rewarding. This is because engaging in this great challenge will also increase the meaning, purpose, and joy of our lives. Also by getting accelerating global warming under control, we also will significantly improve many of our other 11 other global crises.
More About How we will achieve our mission, (Part 1)
Within another 3-6 years of 2019, we will, unfortunately, cross the carbon 425-450 parts per million (ppm) climate cliff. This is the first critical extinction-evoking global warming tipping point. This climate cliff will occur without fail when we miss or do not come very close to reaching the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets.
It is a matter of simple math and physics. The cycle of more fossil fuel carbon going into the atmosphere equals more heat, which equals continually escalating global warming consequences. (Click here to learn about those escalating consequences.)
When that happens, we will rapidly pass the next two extinction-evoking carbon 500 and 600 ppm tipping points with all of their additional unthinkable and unavoidable consequences.
Logically, what our organization must now do is to promote actions that will help us survive the consequences of crossing those three extinction-evoking tipping points and the coming mass human, animal, and biological extinction event for as long as is possible. The way some of us will survive this traumatic outcome is for Job One for Humanity to successfully achieve the following additional objectives:
a. promote the highest level of national and international cooperation and mass mobilization in human history to combat global warming. We either cooperate at the highest levels and scale, or most of us will eventually die together. If we die together, it will be in an ever-worsening meltdown of global warming consequences and crossed tipping points. (As volunteers and resources allow.)
b. shock politicians awake to the global warming extinction emergency and the new threat of near-total extinction with the scientific evidence that global warming is far, far worse than they have been told. (As volunteers and resources allow.)
c. warn society they must start preparing and adapting to survive the current out-of-control state of global warming (for as long as the next 30-50 years.) Our governments must start adapting to and preparing for what is coming and immediately reduce fossil fuel use to achieve or come very close to the 2025 targets.
d. respectfully disrupt any politicians, individuals, or organizations that do not educate or create effective policies and programs about the real global warming extinction emergency. This policy of disruption is especially valid for those individuals or organizations that present false or misleading information as to the accurate targets and deadlines needed for global fossil fuel reduction. (After focusing on politicians, this disruption would also include disrupting some of the world's most prestigious environmental organizations. If we can't get the world's leading environmental organizations working as one focusing on the correct fossil fuel reduction targets and deadlines, there is scant hope that humanity will make the correct fossil fuel reduction targets and survive. (Click here to see our respectful disruption policy.) (As volunteers and resources allow.)
e. Utilize this crisis and emergency as a great opportunity to build a smarter, better world, however, and whenever we get through this mass extinction emergency. (See this link for all the good that can still come out of our current horrible global warming situation.)
f. work to restore the carbon ppm level in the atmosphere (now at about carbon 414 ppm,) back to its original preindustrial human-safe level of about carbon 250 to 270 parts per million. This return to carbon 250-270 ppm is only possible if we can meet or get very close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. and then begin a secondary program to make the additional global fossil fuel reductions to bring atmospheric carbon levels all the way back down to carbon 250-270. (As volunteers and resources allow.)
How we will achieve our mission (Part 2)
We utilize the most current and advanced climate science available.
We strive to achieve our mission in a manner that embodies cooperation, empathy, and justice.
We promote honesty and realistic expectations regarding global warming. That hope is that there is a real opportunity for a part of humanity and civilization to survive, learn from our mistakes, and build a much better and more equitable world. However, this new world is only possible if we cooperate and prevent a long delay in crossing the carbon 600 ppm extinction-level tipping point.
We strongly advocate that there is no alternative to survival in the near-total extinction emergency unless we come together immediately and work together. (As one human family, we must reach or come very close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction goals.)
We promote a global mass mobilization and governmental actions for radically increasing green energy generation. This mass mobilization will not solve the fossil fuel problem, but it will help mitigate the coming consequences a bit more, saving more individuals.
We promote prioritizing deadlines and effectiveness, and only in the proper sequence, to save as much of humanity and civilization as possible. (See the Job One Plan here.)
We provide honest global warming consequence prediction timetables and a new model called the Climageddon Scenario. (This is critical and continually updated prediction information will keep you from being surprised so that you have adequate time to prepare for and better adapt to the unavoidable coming consequences.
We utilize the new Job One Plan to help individuals mitigate and cope with the unavoidable consequences of climate change, create emergency preparedness, and adapt effectively to a highly uncertain future.
We will do everything we can to get every organization, business, or nation to promote reaching the 2025 targets and the sacrifices we must now make.
We foster tapping into your deepest philosophical and spiritual reserves. These foundations will help you endure, make sense of and transform the tremendous suffering and sacrifice ahead of us to the betterment of humanity and future generations.
We promote utilizing this unprecedented, urgent, and challenging situation to enhance and expand the meaning and purpose of our lives, and to help us develop and broaden our character.
We promote maintaining a positive perspective throughout all of the coming hardships. Click here to see a summary of the 16 surprise positive perspectives on things that can happen in this emergency that might help you sustain a positive outlook.
We actively promote enjoying your life to the fullest today. This policy is in place because there are no guarantees, and we cannot guarantee success. Today may be the best it will ever be for a long time.
We practice that there is no one to blame for this out-of-control global warming extinction emergency. For the last three decades, our current government systems have either protected or incentivized fossil fuel use, as well as ever-increasing commercialism and waste, making it all but impossible to curb. Additionally, the climate is so complex that only a handful of individuals had the intellectual bandwidth and the climate expertise to fully grasp how global warming could become out of control so fast. Those few individuals who knew did not have sufficient governmental influence to prevent global warming from going out of control. The last thing we need to do in this extinction emergency is to polarize and waste resources in energy-depleting blame.
Our organization, which normally focuses solely on climate change and global warming, has recently expanded its educational blog posts to cover other critical challenges and crises facing the world today. Recently, we have covered the pandemics of COVID-19 and racial injustice. When covering the wisdom or inappropriateness of the actions and policies of any politician or political party mentioned in a post on our website, we neither endorse that politician or political party nor make a statement about what a voter should do in relation to that politician or political party.
The substeps to achieving our full mission for individuals
- to help individuals understand and then predict and adapt to the next wave of global warming-aggravated disasters that almost all of us will inevitably experience. We will provide updated warning signs. Click here for that information.
- to educate individuals and groups on how to create lifestyles and livelihoods of real Sustainable Prosperity. This sustainability, along with crucial primary collective actions by our governments will, in turn, also help slow and lessen the speed of this rapidly unfolding catastrophe.
More About Why We Upgraded Our Mission in 2021
"You cannot be called an alarmist if there really is something to be alarmed about." Unknown
Job One for Humanity is primarily a nonprofit organization focused on research and analysis of global warming. It utilizes well-researched materials and analysis from this website and other reliable climate sources.
Because of these years of research, many of our staff, members, and visitors have already come to the conclusion that unless we make the required massive and extremely difficult 2025 global fossil fuel use reduction targets, a major portion of humanity is on its way to immense suffering and a mass extinction event unfolding by mid-century. Many are also aware that this imminent die-off threat arises from the accelerating global warming emergency, which is crashing directly into and further exacerbating most of the other major global crises currently facing humanity.
Many (if not most) of our staff, members, and visitors have also realized that the battle to prevent a global warming-caused mass extinction event from unfolding within our lifetimes has most likely already been lost. This is due to our wasting the last 35 years of valid warnings, crossing more and more critical global warming tipping points, and the extremely high probability that we will be unable to meet the required 2025 global fossil fuel use reduction targets for these many disturbing reasons.
Worse yet, if we do not come at least very close to reaching the 2025 global fossil fuel use reduction targets, near-total extinction and the end of civilization are also on the table for our long-term future. Yes, we do mean that global warming-induced mass extinction is now virtually unavoidable; however, we still have some time left to act and avoid near-total extinction.
When you read our website and the often shocking facts we present, please keep in mind that our government leaders have utterly failed to see the coming pain and suffering of the COVID-19 pandemic, nor did they adequately prepare for it! Our government leaders are also not adequately addressing or preparing for the global warming extinction emergency, which is already underway and will be far worse than COVID-19.
Because of this life-critical inaction by our governments, we must find a way to compensate for that failure. Our new mission focus is our way of compensating.
(If you still believe the battle to prevent a global warming-caused mass extinction event within our lifetimes is realistically probable, please read the following two links in the order given. You will discover why the Job One organization, as well as most of our staff, many members, and visitors, have now been forced to deal with the bitter new reality of a global warming-caused mass extinction event occurring within the next 30-50 years.

2. https://www.joboneforhumanity.org/irreversible_global_warming_is_here_now )
But, far more importantly, because of the above new 1ireversible global warming mass extinction reality, there is a critical new battle we must fight:
1. This battle is to prepare, adapt, migrate (where necessary,) and become far more sustainable while we still have time. And,
2. While we are doing this, we also do whatever we can "to help slow down global warming enough so we can save and salvage what we can, while we still have time to prevent a near-total extinction event."
This is the current state of the global warming debate as we see it now. Success in this new battle is still potentially achievable, but only if the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets are fully embraced and acted upon immediately!
When you are ready to begin it, here is a quick overview of our detailed four-part Job One for Humanity Plan to achieve the updated mission below. Click the image below after reading the rest of this page.

Our new mission statement upgrade above requires that we update our current Job One for Humanity global warming plan in a priority, as shown below:
a. help individuals understand we are already facing an unavoidable global warming-caused human, animal, and biological species mass extinction event already unfolding and reaching its peak over the next 30-50 years. Our governments have once again failed us in preparing for and managing the global warming extinction emergency, just like they failed us in preparing for and managing the COVID-19 pandemic before it became a worldwide catastrophe!
We can no longer avoid the consequences of mass extinctions, but at least we can prepare for them, adapt to them, become more individually sustainable, and, where necessary, migrate away from them, potentially slowing the global warming emergency if we act quickly and wisely. It is also time for us to get our Plan B emergency survival preparations in place. And lastly,
b. however, and whenever we get through this extinction emergency, if we get through it, help build a more sustainable, smarter, and more equitable world. We will also help people see that this greatest of all emergencies in human history is also the greatest of all opportunities for whoever can and will survive it. (See this link for all of the good that can still come out of this catastrophic situation.)
If we have the staff and resources at a later date, we may also:
c. offer tools and information to help individuals deal with and process the tremendous emotions of anger, anxiety, and depression once they fully realize the already unfolding extinction emergency and dilemma that we have created for ourselves. (See this link for more on this.) Also, see our UniverseSpirit.org website, and
d. help to educate other environmental groups on what they can do to slow down and ultimately prevent the unfolding of a near-total extinction event (see Job One Plan Part 3 and Part 4). (Preventing near-total extinction can only be achieved by coming very close to the 2025 global fossil fuel use reduction targets!)
The above mission primarily means that today is also the day to begin your Plan B for addressing the global warming extinction emergency, preparing, adapting, or migrating to save and salvage whatever you can while you still have the time to do so.
It also means that the combined efforts of the world's environmental groups must slow down global warming enough (by getting sufficiently close to the 2025 global fossil fuel use reduction targets,) fast enough to have enough time for humanity to prepare for, adapt to, or migrate to survive what is coming and to avoid near-total extinction.
Never lose sight of the fact that if we get very close to reaching the 2025 targets, more of humanity will survive longer and more comfortably, and that we can still prevent a near-total extinction event so that some of humanity and civilization might survive.
Please see the Job One for Humanity Global Warming Extinction Adaptation Plan here for the specifics on how we will achieve our mission.
(Please note: In its most abbreviated form on our website, we shorten our new mission statement to the slogan; To Prevent Global Warming Extinction.
A mini-summary of good news!
If we can slow global warming down to at least come close to the 2025 global fossil fuel use reduction targets and we get prepared and adapt:
a. more individuals will survive longer and more comfortably and,
b. some part of humanity and our civilization may continue to exist.
Here is our Most Detailed Version of Our Mission Statement (Part 2)
The following full and expanded mission action steps are done in the given priority order (or simultaneously if enough staffing and financial resources allow.)
Our primary mission actions:
A. Help individuals prepare for and adapt to surviving in a world where most of humanity will suffer and die by mid-century from crop failures, starvation, resource shortage wars, and the many other horrible global warming consequences within our lifetimes, while simultaneously working to prevent near-total extinction and runaway global warming.
At this point, we have to face the fact that all we may be able to do in response to our accelerating global warming is to save and salvage whatever we can to prevent the complete extinction of humanity and the end of civilization. (Information on how to prepare and adapt so more of us live longer and suffer less is contained in Part 1 of the Job One Plan and Part 2 of the Job One Plan.)
B. Motivate our politicians (and their governments) to slow down global warming enough to come as close as possible to the 2025 targets to allow us more time to prepare and adapt so we can save and salvage more of humanity and civilization for a bit longer. These actions could also help prevent near-total extinction from runaway global warming. (Job One is primarily a global warming research analysis and global warming solutions-engineering organization.)
This is achieved by getting very close to the 2025 targets. To achieve the 2025 targets, our politicians must create and enforce new global fossil fuel reduction laws promptly. (See Parts three and four of the Job One plan for the government-driven actions needed to do this. This action is a secondary action because Job One's few resources do not give us much political influence.)
C. Help individuals or groups create sustainable lifestyles and new eco-communities in global warming-safe locations so some of humanity and civilization survive.
This would help ensure that enough of these new eco-communities are established and prepared to survive the escalating onslaught of unavoidable global warming catastrophes.
These experimental eco-communities will also be essential in helping to carry forward the survival of humanity, human culture, and civilization. Please see the Universe Community sections of our sister website for the information on why these new eco-communities are essential to our future. You will also find the information you will need to create a sustainable eco-community in a global warming-safe zone.
D. Do what we can to support a government-driven migration, infrastructure transfer, and emergency backup a "Plan B" for the world.
We need to begin saving, salvaging, and protecting whatever we can of humanity, civilization, and animal and biological diversity by transferring as much of it as possible to safer zones from global warming. We need to put a "Plan BP into place immediately. Click here to see our current Plan B. (Also see Part 3 of the Job One Plan in Section 2 for details on these government-driven actions. See the heading called, "How to Prevent Mass Human Extinction: The World's Emergency Backup Plan." This action is a secondary action because Job One's few resources do not give us much influence in this area.)
E. Once (or if) we have survived this extinction emergency and we have learned the painful lessons it will teach us, Job One and the new eco-communities mentioned above will promote a new survival-proven understanding of equitable and sustainable living to all the mass extinction event remaining survivors.
These new eco-communities will also help transform the trauma and unthinkable losses of the coming Great Collapse and Great Die-off into a springboard for the Great Rebuilding and for a better-informed, more sustainable, and equitable world.
This temporary evolutionary regression and later Great Rebuilding experience, as described above, will also create a better and more equitable world for all, one that could thrive for hundreds of more generations. If the Great Collapse and Great Die-off are inevitable because we continue to refuse to alter our unsustainable fossil fuel and other behaviors, then at least, the Great Collapse and Great Die-Off can be used as a launching pad for a new, better beginning for those parts of humanity that survive. (Click here to learn about the new ideas of a Sustainable Prosperity for all.)
F. To help slow down the global warming extinction emergency, get governments, NGOs, and other environmental groups educated that they need to stop using the United Nations' incorrect global fossil fuel targets and deadlines, and get them to start using the correct 2025 targets to help prevent near-total extinction.
The UN is still using the incorrect global fossil fuel reduction targets and deadlines established by its own Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). (The IPCC is considered the world's leading authority on global warming and what should be done about climate change.)
IPCC's current incorrect target and deadlines for global fossil fuel reduction are as follows: we need to make a 40% reduction in total global fossil fuel use by 2030 and then reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The colossal danger with the IPCC's incorrect targets is that these flawed deadlines and targets are now being used to establish the corrective global warming strategies for the world's governments, NGOs, and the largest non-profit environmental groups.
These wrong targets make it impossible to come close to reaching the 2025 legitimate targets because our governments, NGOs, and environmental groups are aiming at the wrong target destinations and deadlines. Click here to read the simple science for what makes the IPCC's current global fossil fuel reduction targets and deadlines so dangerously wrong!
The IPPC's current targets and deadlines, as mentioned above, are entirely inadequate and will not save us from a global warming-caused mass extinction event in time. Worse yet, when incorrect global fossil fuel reduction targets and deadlines are forwarded by recognized authorities, it hinders and delays humanity's ability to understand or execute the correct fossil fuel reduction targets.
Ironically, if we cannot get the world's governments, NGO's and environmental groups to promote the correct 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets and deadlines, realistically, how likely is it that we will ever achieve the life-critical 2025 reductions? If we can slow down the occurrence of the predicted mass extinction event by somehow getting close to meeting the 2025 targets, we will, at least, have more time to prepare for, adapt to or migrate as needed. (For the specific government-driven actions that need to be done to at least come close to reaching the 2025 targets, see Part 3 of the Job One Plan.
G. Help people move through anger, anxiety, and depression once they realize that the extinction emergency we have created for ourselves is real and that it is our current global warming reality.
We provide healing and encouraging information for processing the difficult emotions associated with global warming, as found on this page. Where staffing and resources permit, we also organize group discussion sessions in various locations for the same purpose.
Most importantly, we have learned that the fastest healing occurs after one accepts the correct facts as they are and then begins the process of adapting to those facts as best as possible. Adapting to our current emergency can occur quickly once one becomes active on the proven Job One For Humanity Plan for managing, slowing, and surviving the consequences of global warming.
Our Best Hope to prevent near-total extinction
The best news of the Job One for Humanity mission is that our crossing of the carbon 600 parts per million (ppm) extinction-level tipping point can still be slowed down just enough so that some smaller portion of humanity can still survive. This life-critical slowing can only be achieved by immediately enacting the greatest government-driven mass mobilization of our civilization's resources toward the singular goal of radically cutting global fossil fuel use to at least, get very close to the 2025 targets. (See Job One Plan, Part 3.)
If we fail to prevent crossing the 600 ppm carbon level, we will enter the later phases of runaway global warming.
Unfortunately, most of our world is presently locked into some form of global warming denial, global warming ignorance, or intentional deception. Most of the world isn't even close to realizing how bad global warming already is nor, how bad it's going to get.
Most of the world still believes the distorted and incorrect IPCC global fossil fuel reduction targets and deadlines, which will fast-track us to global catastrophe and Climageddon! Most of the world also has no idea things are going to get very rough far sooner than anyone's telling us (except for this organization.)
Because of the rapidly unfolding global warming mass extinction scenario, our collective Job One is to prepare ourselves, our families, and our businesses for what is coming. Our second job is to do our best to slow down global warming enough so that a least a few of us survive. Our third job is to enlighten those few brave and bright individuals who also will soon see, feel, or understand what is coming.
The future will not be easy.
Our world will undergo dramatic changes in the coming decades.
We at Job One for Humanity will do our best to help inform and support those who are ready to adapt to and navigate this uncertain and dangerous future, which has now become a banquet of unavoidable and unthinkable consequences.
A helpful and healing perspective on the global warming extinction emergency
Many individuals who use this website have also come to realize that humanity has entered a temporary evolutionary regression period, as it has done many times in the past. During this temporary regression, life as we usually know it will deteriorate for a while before it improves.
In this period of temporary regression, humanity will learn the necessary hard new lessons about the real price of fossil fuel pollution, poor international cooperation, and the importance of maintaining healthy ecological systems. The great news here during this temporary regression is that, if we are smart and work together, we can still lead full, meaningful, and enjoyable lives while we work to restore the critical climate balance to our life-supporting Earth systems and build a better world for when we emerge from this challenge.
We can maintain the perseverance needed to succeed in this monumental task by regularly reviewing the numerous benefits that will result from working successfully on this project together. Although we are now in what could be called a Great Global Collapse process triggered by accelerating global warming, this collapse process will eventually offer equal to (or even greater than) long-term benefits in the form of a potential Great Rebirth beyond the coming suffering and loss.
First on this page (that has been read almost 2 million times) and then on this other critical global warming benefit page, you will find the many often hidden surprise benefits of the global warming challenge. You also will find a framework and the possibilities for what could be called a post-collapse Great Rebirth, no matter how bad the collapse process gets.

Additional Mission-Related Reading
Our members and web visitors appreciate Job One because we tell the hard truths and we treat them with respect as adults. Those harsh new facts and additional whys behind our mission are:
a. Global warming extinction is no longer a remote possibility coming sometime after 2100, as we have been lulled into believing by our government's inaction and the false and incomplete climate analysis by the IPCC. A massive human, animal, and biological extinction event will be arriving in many areas of the world as soon as the next 30 to 50 years. Again, this is because it is highly improbable that we will make or even come close to the required 2025 radical global fossil fuel cuts.
b. We are already in an undeclared global warming extinction emergency. (Click here to see why.)
c. Global warming will be out of our meaningful control as long as another 30-50 years or longer (when we miss or do not get very close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets.)
d. Many of global warming's very worst consequences are already unavoidable, no matter what we do right now!
e. A global warming-caused mass extinction event and die-off will be unfolding and worsening over the next 30-50 years if we miss coming very close to the 2025 targets, as it now appears we will do.
f. If we do not come very close to the 2025 targets, we will also be facing a near-total extinction event.
The most important reasons why must meet or get as close to the 2025 targets as possible in spite of all the above challenges
If we do get close to the 2025 targets, as much as 50% of humanity will suffer and die due to starvation over a relatively short period (1-2 decades.) As horrible as much as 50% of humanity, as well as a lot of animals and biological life suffering and dying is, this outcome is still far better than having most of humanity suffer and die by mid-century (or even all of humanity) if we fail to reach or come very close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets.
There are three things we can always be sure of during this global warming emergency. In spite of all of the challenges and adverse global warming outcomes that are possible and discussed above (and on this website,) the single constant truth for the best possible outcome for humanity is that; the faster and more we reduce global fossil fuel use toward meeting or getting as close as possible to the 2025 targets:
a. the more people that will survive longer to carry on humanity, life, and our beautiful civilization into the future, (See Parts 3 and 4 of the Job One Plan for how to do this.)
b. the surviving future generations will suffer far less from an ever-increasing sequence of escalating global warming consequences and catastrophes, and
c. we will "buy" ourselves more time to prepare and adapt to what we can no longer avoid, (see the global warming Plan B and survival kit here.)
More people surviving longer and having more time to prepare themselves, their families, and their businesses for what is to come is an undeniable benefit, particularly when weighed against the unavoidable consequences of doing nothing or failing to make the necessary sacrifices to control global warming.
In Summary, humanity may survive by achieving the following objectives:
A. Ensure the world meets (or gets very close to) meeting the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. by getting our politicians to pass and enforce the necessary laws. This will give us the time we need to prepare and adapt. (See Job One Plan Part 3 for everything our governments must do to reach the survival-critical 2025 targets.)
B. Educate the world about how to execute an individual, business, or national emergency backup "Plan B."
C. Continue to present an accurate, rational, but very limited hope for humanity's future wherever we offer painful facts about our current global warming extinction emergency. This rational hope is firmly grounded in what is still possible and practical to achieve. It includes presenting the great opportunity this great emergency presents, which is to build a smarter, better world for whoever might survive! And if we have the resources,
D. Educate larger and better-funded, non-profit organizations with vastly more influence than Job One. Get these organizations to use their greater influence get our politicians to meet or get very close to the critical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. (Job One is a small, non-profit organization with very limited reach and resources.)
E. The core message of our organization and this website is:
1. We have only until 2025 to act or, global warming crosses extinction-triggering tipping points and goes out of our collective human control for centuries to thousands of years.
2. If we pass beyond global warming extinction-triggering tipping points, it will be because the forces of nature (the systems and subsystems of our climate, atmosphere, and ecosystems) have seized control. This loss of human control will occur due to the immutable laws of physics related to the escalating levels of fossil fuel carbon pollution in our atmosphere.
3. If we fail to meet the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets and cross the extinction-triggering tipping points within decades, there will be an unavoidable mass human extinction event and die-off (most of humanity by mid-century.)
4. If we get our governments to act immediately to achieve the 2025 global targets using the effective fossil fuel reduction steps (described here,) we still have time to adapt, save ourselves, and thrive as well as prevent a near-total extinction event!
5. Global warming is the greatest disruptor of the 21st century. It is also a significant multiplier of these other critical global challenges.
Other than avoiding nuclear war, the global warming extinction emergency has become the prime driver for having a future for humanity and our civilization on Earth. If we fail to bring global warming under control by missing the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets by a significant amount, there is little hope of avoiding a near-total global warming extinction event or mitigating the escalating consequences of the world's other critical challenges.
On the other hand, if we do get the climate change and global warming emergency under control, we will experience two great global benefits
Climate Change and Global Warming Benefit 1 - A beautiful world and a livable future are within reach if we make the right choices and meet the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets.
Imagine a world with clean, fresh air that did not kill us or make our children ill. Imagine a world of new livelihoods and lifestyles where former fossil fuel workers transform our transportation system. Imagine them building fast, green bullet trains and expanding universal access to self-driving electric vehicles, eliminating the need for most private transportation and parking lots.
Now imagine existing parking lots and the roofs of our many buildings becoming organic gardens or parks or, solar panel farms. Imagine our cities transformed into safe and healthy places and healthy forests, soils, waterways, and oceans again helping to clean our air and water and feed us sustainably.
We still have time to rectify our global warming mess by reaching the 2025 global targets and reap all these benefits and much more. We still have one last opportunity to keep the world from getting so warm that it will kill off most of us, but only if we choose to resolve the fossil fuel-caused global warming emergency.
Imagine that we make the right choices for the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction target, and in doing so, we also become good stewards of the world and our future.
And finally, imagine that we meet the urgently needed 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. We have preserved hope for both ourselves and future generations that life will continue and that the quality of our lives will improve. By acting now we get to experience and preserve for ourselves and future generations the opportunity to survive and thrive and experience a true sustainable prosperity.
Climate Change and Global Warming Benefit 2 - When we resolve the single greatest disruptor and threat multiplier of the 21st century (which is accelerating global warming and climate change), we will be simultaneously reducing many of the negative consequences of the world's other critical systemic challenges listed near the top of this page.
As we address global warming, we will also make the world's other critical challenges far easier to resolve. To view a detailed and expanded description of each of humanity's other critical global crises, click here to better understand the importance of managing our global warming emergency.
We can build a beautiful, more sustainable world and future for all, but only if we manage global warming.
Most of our best social, economic, and political values, goals, and human rights will become far easier and more attainable once we resolve our accelerating global warming emergency. (Those values, goals, and human rights are shown in the Sustainable Development illustration below)
Resolving global warming enables us to continue making progress on addressing all the world's other critical systemic challenges. On the other hand, if we do not get global warming fixed and the climate continues to destabilize at the current rate, there will be no way to make continued progress or ever realize most of these vital values, goals, and human rights.
We can create a world in which we and future generations will love to live. We can build a new world of far greater peace and security!
To do this, first we have to get the global warming emergency resolved. This will facilitate and expedite our possibilities for reaching all of the following wonderful life-enhancing Sustainable Development and Sustainable Prosperity Goals.
In other words, here are just a few of the potential evolutionary changes in values, goals, and processes that will be far easier to improve or achieve once accelerating global warming is under control. We will be better able to:
1. reduce our destructive consume/pollute/waste consumerism,
2. end critical resource depletion and create resource rebalancing,
3. end racial and educational justice,
4. create universal healthcare,
5. end wealth and income equity,
6. create housing and employment equity,
7. allow for the return and strengthening of biodiversity because of reduced pollution and encroachment into natural habitats,
8. create the next evolutionary economic fair exchange system beyond our current corporate greed-based capitalism. This new economic system relies upon the false fundamental principle of unlimited growth within the closed and limited Earth system. And,
9. Create effective global governance based on the collective well-being of all planetary citizens, vs. our current corporatocracy for the benefit of a wealthy few that we have now. (To begin to repair corporatocracy, we would need to remove all personhood rights from corporations, hold them strictly responsible to the principles of the triple bottom line, and make them pay for all pollution and harm they cause to the public commons.)
All of the previous items will help build a sustainable prosperity and a just and equitable future for ALL of humanity, including all biological life. All of the above can help create a global civil society where individual human rights and responsibilities are held in balance with community and government rights and responsibilities. (To learn more about the many new principles of the sustainable prosperity of the future, click here.)
Before reading on, please take a moment to visualize how much better your life and our world will be when all the beautiful values and goals listed in Benefits 1 and 2 above are improved, stabilized, and achieved.
(To see all of the 18 other benefits of working toward solving the global warming emergency, click here.)
(To see the expanded details on the other critical global challenges we must face and resolve to have a future, click here.)
The above is all you must remember about global warming and your future. Many of the pages on our website will provide you with the exact science behind these five simple statements, allowing you to verify that what we are saying is true. You can start that verification process here or continue reading.
The ultimate question for every person, business, religion, and government on Earth to answer regarding global warming is...
We were grossly unprepared for the COVID-19 pandemic despite repeated warnings by our scientists. We are woefully unprepared for the coming global warming extinction emergency, and we have once again ignored the warnings of our scientists.
If we continue to fail to act effectively, we face unavoidable mass human extinction for most of humanity by mid-century and near-total extinction within as little as 50-70 years.
We have already lost the battle to avoid global warming and mass extinction, as we are far from meeting the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets.
The ultimate remaining global warming question for every person, business, religion, and the government should be most concerned about at this time is:
"Will we, at least, come close enough to the critical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets so that humanity can avoid near-total extinction?"
How to keep the problematic and disruptive facts on this page in a balanced and optimistic perspective
Some consequences of global warming can be avoided or delayed, while others are unavoidable due to factors such as ignorance, incompetence, inaction, or selfishness. We can learn from their feedback and make adjustments accordingly. Regardless of what we face, we can continue working toward achieving the best possible outcomes.
Executing the comprehensive Job One for Humanity global warming action plan can significantly stabilize the situation and save the future. By regularly reviewing the many benefits that will unfold as we work together successfully, we can maintain the perseverance needed to succeed.
While we persevere, we must never forget that our greatest challenges are also the seeds of our most significant opportunities. We must continually realize that we are engaged in human history's most critical and meaningful evolutionary adventure! This adventure involves nothing less than mitigating the global warming extinction threat and, in the process, indirectly addressing most of the world's other major challenges.

Our think tank's leaning, position, or "bias"
All think tanks have open or hidden leanings, positions, or biases. These biases or leanings are almost always based on who funds them with the biggest donations or subsidies.
There are conservative-leaning think tanks, progressive-leaning think tanks, evangelical-leaning think tanks, Jewish-leaning think tanks, and industry-specific think tanks. No matter what they publicly profess, think tanks always openly or secretly represent the interests of those funding them.
Because of this easily avoidable funding conflict of interest, all think tanks should be treated as highly biased toward their funder's needs and interests. Unethical think tanks have even been known to regularly alter or misrepresent facts to further their funders' financial, political, or religious interests.
100% public funding makes the Job One for Humanity think tank different from almost all other think tanks. Because we are 100% publicly funded, our bias or position is always that of protecting the universal best interests of the common well-being and common good of all humanity. This means you will find our uncensored climate change analysis, forecasts, and facts to be considerably different (and usually far worse) than those of other climate change, environmental, political, or industrial think tanks with transparent or hidden special interest funding from big donors. (The average donation to Job One is about $15 US.)
As Job One, we protect only one special interest: humanity's well-being, good, and survival from and through the climate change emergency.
Please donate any amount to help keep our 100% publicly funded nonprofit think tank accessible to everyone. Please help us continue to provide the public with uncensored climate change forecasts, facts, and solutions.
With every donation of any amount, you will receive amazing gifts! Click the "Donate" image below to view the details of these gifts.
Please consider becoming an annual member by clicking here and exploring the valuable information and benefits you will receive. We guarantee that you will receive more than you give when you become a proud funder of our 100% publicly funded, not-for-profit climate change think tank.
