Prologue
The Job One for Humanity Climate Change Plan is practical, compelling, and comprehensive. All you have to do is select which of the four plan parts is right for you and your current circumstances, and then begin it.
"By working on or promoting the action steps of our Job One for Humanity Climate Change Solutions and Resilience Plan, you are doing something noble and beautiful. You are not only acting to save yourself and those you love, but you are also helping to reduce the suffering and save the lives of billions of others. You are also becoming a true climate change hero or heroine and a climate change educator or activist." Lawrence Wollersheim
Please do not forget that if you have effective ways to influence your local, regional, or national politicians or governments to achieve the survival-required 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets before it is too late, make it a personal priority. This political action will enable more people to survive the effects of runaway global heating. If you do not have real and effective political influence, work on the other parts of the Job One Plan that you can influence.
The Job One Climate Change Resilience and Recovery Plan for Personally Adapting to and Surviving Climate Change and Its Many Interconnected Consequences
Our climate change plan below is a self-motivated, self-directed, do-it-yourself (DIY) system, but we are always happy to answer your questions or help any way we can while you are working thought the parts of your climate change plan.
We also strongly recommend that you do not rely on your local, state, or national government to take care of you as climate change consequences accelerate far beyond where they are now. As always, ultimately, you are and will be solely responsible for your climate change emergency preparations, adaptations, resilience-building and climate relocation or managed retreat, which are necessary to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your business from the next even bigger wave of climate change catastrophes.
If you live in a medium to high-risk climate change zone, we recommend starting with Part 1. If you do not live in a medium to high-risk area for global warming, most individuals should begin with Part 2.
About Part 1 of the Job One Plan
You will learn how to best prepare yourself, your family, and your business for the soon-arriving and unavoidable 20 worst consequences of global warming.
Everyone needs to have basic emergency preparations in place to survive the worst of the continually arriving and the many new and inevitable consequences of climate change. Part 1 contains the Climate Change and Global Warming Relocation and Migration Manual.
To start Part 1 of the Job One Plan now, click here or click the Preparing for Emergencies image below. You can work on the other steps as you work on the steps of Part 1
About Part 2 of the Job One Plan
Here, you will learn about wise local, regional, and state political actions and the best individual actions to adapt to what global warming consequences are now unavoidable, as well as how to reduce your fossil fuel use to become more sustainable to help do your part to slow and lessen the 20 worse consequences of global warming.
By itself, Part 2 will not save us from the harshest and now unavoidable consequences of our past actions and inactions, but it will help slow and lessen global warming and get you moving in the right direction for the future.
To start Part 2 of the Job One Plan now, click here. This step will take some time to complete with all of its sub-steps, but while working on it, you can also work on the other action steps of Part 1.
About the Critical Part 3 of the Job One Climate Change Resilience and Recovery Plan
Suppose you already have connections with real direct influence on government politicians, or you do have indirect connections with real influence on politicians through celebrities, ultra-wealthy corporations, philanthropies, ultra-wealthy individuals, or national intelligence agencies. In that case, we recommend you begin in Part 3.
The needed mass mobilization actions for politicians to take to prevent our near-total extinction are found only in Part 3 of the Job One Plan. It contains what absolutely must be done by our politicians if we are to have any real chance of avoiding the early stages of near-total extinction within the next 50-70 years.
Unfortunately, only politicians, intelligence agencies, ultra-wealthy corporations, philanthropies, and individuals currently possess sufficient direct power or influence to enact the challenging government-driven actions outlined in Part 3 of the Job One Plan. Only their actions will work to reduce greenhouse gases down to (or close to) the critical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction target levels and then to carbon neutrality and net zero in time to save us from extinction.
Only Part 3 of the Job One Plan, executed successfully, will eventually return us to the safe atmospheric carbon levels of 350 - 270 parts per million [ppm]. (We are at about 420 ppm carbon now.)
The primary action steps described in Part 3 are not actions that can be successfully achieved by individuals who have little direct influence on politicians, intelligence agencies, and 1% of ultra-wealthy corporations, philanthropies, and individuals.
Part 3 focuses exclusively on a single, painful, and pressing reality of global warming and the associated extinction emergency. We must make immediate, radical, and costly reductions in our global fossil fuel energy use and generation, which can only be achieved through mass mobilization, government-driven, government-enforced, and government-penalized new laws and actions.
Part 3 is the most critical part of the Job One Plan if we are to have a livable future.
Suppose we are unable to execute this step successfully without further delays. In that case, there is no realistic or practical hope of preventing global warming from escalating to a level that could lead to mass human extinction and possibly even proceed uncontrollably to a near-total extinction level.
To start Part 3 of the Job One Plan now, click here or click the government building image below.
Part 3 of the Job One plan even includes a Plan B section for governments to implement as a "all is lost" backup in case we cannot stop global warming in time to save most of us.
About Part 4 of the Job One Plan: Our last-chance strategy is to get our politicians to get our governments to reduce global fossil fuel use before it is too late.
Because of the painful but true reality that our politicians and governments have thus far continually failed to fix climate change, we must focus on bypassing them and their massive failure. Wherever applicable, we must also begin the Climate Justice Now program.
As this climate justice program builds enough momentum, our disinformed, compromised, or cowardly politicians will act, and this detailed program for effective government climate action on climate change will finally be able to be completed.
Unless you have direct personal influence on a politician or group of politicians, we strongly recommend you begin with our Climate Justice Now program and help build the needed momentum so that, eventually, our politicians and governments will act.
If we are unsuccessful in Part 4, we experience near-total human extinction instead of only the unavoidable extinction of about half of humanity by mid-century.
The best news is that if we successfully execute Part 3 of the Job One Plan in time, some of humanity and many other species will survive the global heating, near-total extinction emergency.
Bonus Part 4a of the Job One Plan
For those who have already suffered climate change consequences and damages, and need financial restitution from those who are causing climate change
Suppose you have experienced climate change-related damages to your home, business, or farm. In that case, you'll need to begin a successful lawsuit against all related parties that caused your damage as soon as possible. There are wealthy fossil fuel and associated companies that have either directly caused the climate change emergency and the damages you have experienced, or that should have informed you of the relevant climate change risks!
The number of court cases focused on the global climate change crisis and its consequent damages has doubled since 2015, bringing the total number to over 2,000, according to a report led by European researchers last year. More than two dozen US cities and states are suing big oil, alleging the fossil fuel industry knew for decades about the dangers of burning coal, oil, and gas and actively hid that information from consumers and investors. Several of the states have already been successful in making the fossil fuel cartel pay for the costs the state has had to put out for climate change damages.
If you have just experienced a climate change-related extreme weather event involving any heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes and cyclones, flooding, rain bombs, wind storms (Derechos), dust storms, wildfire smoke events, unseasonable cold spells, and abnormal unseasonal weather and, you need to begin the process for financial recovery and restitution by reading this page as soon as possible due to time limitations on filing for restitution from harmful acts. You can do this while you start the other parts of the Job One plan. (This page will lead you to successful law firms handling this damage recovery specialty.)
It is time to recover from any change-related damages you, your home, business, farm, or local or state government may have experienced using successful law firms specializing in this area. Click here if you need to start recovering your financial losses from the perpetrators of climate change.

After you have been working on the action steps of the Job One Climate Change Resilience Plan, please email us at manage@JobOneforHumanity and let us know how you are doing. What you say or have learned may be essential to inspiring, supporting, and encouraging others in our monthly newsletter.
We also strongly recommend that, before you complete any of the Job One Plan steps, you visit our page, which discusses the critical preparation and adaptation time frames depending on your current or desired future location.
Here is some Additional Support for Part One of the Job One Plan for after you get going
The staff at Job One for Humanity have recently helped to cofound a new nonprofit organization called ClimateSafe Villages. This organization was designed to better support and prepare (Parts 1 and 2 of the Job One Plan) people for what's coming with the climate. It also helps them adapt and build greater climate resilience in their homes, businesses, and communities.
At ClimateSafe Villages, hundreds (soon to be thousands) of individuals are being supported in an online community to complete the necessary climate change emergency preparations, adaptation, and resilience-building. Good support has proven to be 90% of the reason people succeed in challenging tasks. (You will be given more information about ClimateSafe Villages when you start your part one emergency preparations.)

Additional Optional Information on the Job One Climate Change Solutions and Resilience Plan
What an honest and effective solution and plan must do to end the climate change extinction emergency and threat?
It must:
a. honestly face the actual conditions and deadlines present at the time and location at which you find yourself,
b. diligently locate all of the critical barriers that will keep you from reaching your objective, and it must
c. use a systematic and comprehensive approach to prioritize all critical path actions needed to resolve those barriers before the known critical deadlines or tipping points are crossed to get you to your objective.
Even better news
Unlike almost all other climate change reduction plans, the Job One Plan for adapting to the climate change extinction emergency does all of the above by:
1. Candidly confronting the harsh new reality of just how dire the climate change and global warming extinction threat currently is. (See this page for that reality check.)
2. Clearly defining all the critical barriers that must be overcome. (See this page for that reality check.)
3. Provide a prioritized and effective plan for ALL critical path individual and collective actions needed to meet critical deadlines (Found in the Job One Plan links on this page.)
"No program that claims to have a solution to climate change and global heating can not be called legitimate unless it is designed and focused around knowing when a global heating-driven mass extinction event will probably occur, how it will occur, and what must be done when to lessen or prevent that outcome. The Job One for Humanity four-part program relentlessly follows this critical path and deadline policy." Lawrence Wollersheim
To understand the "if we are lucky" final 2025-2031 crucial action deadline for preventing near-total extinction, click here. To see how a mass to near-total extinction event will unfold in dozens of primary and secondary climate-related consequences, click here.
How the deadline-driven Job One Climate Change Solutions and Resilience Plan came about
For over 11 years, the Job One for Humanity organization has created a continually updated meta-systemic overview and analysis of all relevant global warming research. (The meta-systemic analysis used for global warming examines the systems and subsystems involved in global warming from a meta-perspective that considers them both as stand-alone and individual systems as well as being interconnected and interdependent with and upon each other. The meta-systemic analysis involves a detailed analysis of processes, contexts, relationships, and the continuous transformations occurring among and between interconnected and interdependent systems and subsystems within the selected analysis area.)
This meta-systemic overview and analysis process creates a highly useful "big picture" and a Hegelian dialectical systems model of the coming global warming consequences, counter-consequences, and timetables.
This ongoing, original analysis of the most reliable global warming science has yielded the current set of prioritized and practical solutions to global warming, as outlined in the four-part Job One for Humanity Plan.
The Simple Logic Behind the Job One for Humanity Adapt and Survive Plan
If you are looking for prudent actions to survive and thrive through the coming crises for as long as possible, the Job One for Humanity action plan was developed for you. It is based on the simple logic that if we do not come close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets when faced with unavoidable mass die-off by mid-century and a highly probable near-total extinction event before the end of the 21st century, it is best to use your remaining time and energy wisely. A wise use of remaining time and energy would include:
1.) Make your remaining time as safe, fulfilling, meaningful, and sustainably comfortable as possible for as long as you can (Parts 1 and 2 of the Job One Plan).
2.) Doing everything within your power to prevent near-total to near-total extinction and to save and salvage whatever you can of humanity and civilization for as long as you can --- instead of doing nothing and losing everything --- even sooner! (Parts 3 and 4 of the Job One Plan.)
A Climate Change Emergency Summary Overview
This brief overview is designed for those who do not wish to know the details of how or why the climate change emergency occurred, or the underlying science behind the facts and statements presented below. Read this full climate change facts article to see the hows, whys, and detailed science causing the climate change emergency.
The most critical quick facts on our current climate change emergency and condition are:
1. For over 60 years, humanity has failed to reduce escalating global warming and climate change. Unfortunately, as a consequence of squandering those six-plus critical decades, humanity will experience an unavoidable and massive die-off, with about half of humanity dying by about 2050.
2. Because humanity squandered those six-plus decades, from now until about 2031, humanity will also experience a dramatic increase in the severity, frequency, and size of global warming-related climate change consequences. After 2031, these consequences will increase exponentially in severity, frequency, and size.
3. Given the previous two climate change emergency facts and the realization that humanity is losing the climate change battle, individuals and businesses worldwide in medium—to—high—risk climate change areas should immediately become involved in climate change-related emergency preparations, build adaptive climate change resilience in their homes and businesses, or migrate where necessary.

If you do not believe the above three climate change facts, please read this climate change facts article, and you will discover why the above three statements are painfully correct. Once you have read the article on climate change facts, continue reading below. There is much valuable information not covered in this summary overview.
Climate Change Solutions
Solving the runaway global heating emergency will be a challenging and complex task. Many factors are contributing to and exacerbating our escalating global heating problem.
Runaway climate change is not only caused by burning more fossil fuels due to ever-increasing human consumption needs. It is also caused by the even more challenging problem of overpopulation. (Overpopulation drives the overconsumption of fossil fuel and many other limited planetary resources.)
To resolve our current runaway global heating emergency, we will need:
- A systemic and immediate multi-government-enforced reduction in fossil fuel use to get close to the 2025 global targets.
- Widespread individual behavioral change and personal sacrifice towards greater sustainability. And, ultimately,
- to fix the deeper causes of this emergency (beyond fossil fuel burning alone).
Only systemic governmental planning and enforcement combined with individual behavioral change will save us from ourselves and the worst consequences of our climate nightmare.
Fortunately, you will find the necessary combination of practical individual behavioral change steps and the systemic government actions needed to secure humanity's future from a runaway global heating-driven near-total extinction event in the Job One for Humanity Plan below.
The following page will help you select from among eighty of the most effective climate actions that you can start immediately to do something meaningful about climate change and our deteriorating environmental conditions. The step-by-step Job One for Humanity Climate Change Solutions and Resilience Plan (below) will allow you to start action steps that are prioritized, practical, and relevant to your situation, resources, networks, and current zones of influence.
Everyone can find something to do and contribute to in the Job One for Humanity plan. One of the best things about the Job One for Humanity Climate Change Resilience and Recovery Plan B (below) is that you can choose which actions and sequences of actions best fit your resources and current situation. Choosing and focusing on only one action step at a time will keep you on course and on track for success.
As soon as you begin your first climate action step, you become another honored climate activist.
Some history of the climate change challenge
Despite almost 60 years of scientific warnings about the extinction-level consequences of global warming, our governments are still doing far too little to reduce global fossil fuel usage. In 2021, the world's leading global warming authority, the IPCC (the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), made the most significant change to its climate position and global warming consequence predictions in its decades-long history! The IPCC now says we can no longer prevent many of the worst consequences of global warming. So all that we can do now is to adapt to them!
But, precisely how can you adapt, lower your fossil fuel use, and replan your lives around the rapidly intensifying climate change and environmental consequences (wildfires, flooding, droughts, rain bombs, extreme weather, hurricanes, wildfire smoke, Derechos, monster dust storms, etc.) that you see more and more every day in the news?
Our Job One for Humanity Climate Change Solutions and Resilience Plan will help you do this.
Not only will it describe the many interrelated global warming consequences you will need to prepare for and adjust your life plans around, but it will also provide you with a comprehensive plan of practical fossil fuel reduction, preparation, and adaptation strategies that will be crucial to minimize your climate change-related losses and suffering.
It will even help you learn how to live more sustainable lives and livelihoods, to do your part to improve our social and environmental conditions.
Once the climate and global heating emergency, along with its negative environmental impacts, have been addressed, our plan also includes actions to create sustainable prosperity for all.
Many of the Job One Plan action steps will also help improve the 11 non-climate major global crises we currently face.
Here is additional challenging climate change news
We must complete Part Three of the Job One Plan to survive a climate change-driven near-total extinction! The only way to get Part Three done with the very little time we have left is to use the long-shot tactics of Part Four of the Job One Plan.
The Job One for Humanity Climate Change Solutions and Resilience Plan exists because, for the last 60 years, we have ignored the warnings of our best scientists, and we have not resolved the accelerating climate change emergency. Enacting the Job One Plan has the highest possible urgency because we have reached our last window of opportunity.
If we miss this final window of opportunity, we will go over the first extinction-evoking tipping point. We will soon cross the other three extinction-forwarding global warming tipping points. If we cross any of the four tipping points, global warming will go out of our meaningful control for centuries to thousands of years!
There is a lot of difficult and disheartening news about climate change and the global warming emergency on this website. The good news is that we can still survive and thrive for as long as possible! We can still slow down and delay our current global warming-caused extinction process and save more people over the next 30-50 years, and we can still prevent a global warming-caused near-total extinction process from beginning over the next 50-70 years.
Even though this task looks quite challenging, all we have to do is reach or at least come very close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets described here!

Prologue
Welcome to the Job One for Humanity Climate Change Resilience and Recovery Plan for managing and fixing climate change's avoidable and unavoidable consequences. Our governments have failed to fix climate change because they are not even close to the survival-critical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. Our governments have not enforced the necessary fossil fuel reduction targets because they have been thoroughly compromised by a multibillion-dollar, decades-long global fossil fuel cartel disinformation campaign described fully here.
The good news is that the sooner we complete the plan below, the greater the percentage of humanity we can still save from the suffering and the mass extinction-accelerating consequences of climate change's current level of runaway global heating.
Our "Plan B" solutions below are designed to compensate for our government's Plan A failure to work and to help individuals, businesses, and governments to:
a. slow down and lessen the current and coming climate change and global heating consequences,
b. resolve the deepest and most profound causes of climate change and the runaway global heating emergency so it never happens again.
c. prepare for and adapt to the coming and now unavoidable global heating consequences,
d. survive the coming unavoidable climate change and global heating consequences,
e. help you or your business obtain financial restitution and climate justice by helping you to recover financially from any climate change-related loss or damage you, your home, business, farm, or local or state government may have already experienced. Our Climate Justice Now program will help direct you to successful law firms specializing in climate change loss and damage lawsuits. Click here if you need to start the recovery of your financial losses from the real perpetrators of climate change.
f. get you the critical support you need to get through the steps of our Plan B below. (Studies show that as much as 90% of people are successful on an important given task because of the support they receive while completing that task. To get the critical support you need to complete Plan B successfully, join our ClimateSafe Villages movement. The ClimateSafe Villages movement will also have your back as climate change conditions worsen.)
Introduction: The Job One for Humanity Climate Change Resilience and Recovery "PLAN B" for preparing for, adapting to, recovering from, and fixing the climate change emergency
You may not believe the urgency of our Plan B action steps below unless you know more about who we are. Founded in 2008, Job One for Humanity is a non-profit, 100% publicly funded, independent climate change think tank that provides a holistic "big picture" climate change 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.
Unlike other organizations, our climate change analysis includes compensatory values or calculations for climate change tipping points, feedback loops, points of no return, and non-linear cause-and-effect relationships common within complex adaptive systems.
Without charge, our organization supplies climate science-grounded climate change consequence analysis, timeframes, risk assessment, and solutions to educational, climate, and environmental organizations worldwide. We also provide a fee-based climate analysis risk assessment and solution service to for-profit insurance companies, businesses, and governments affected by climate change. (For more about our research methodology and resources, click here.)
Now that you know more about who we are, sharing more about a small slice of climate change history is also essential.
Over the last 60 years, our governments and the world's Plan A for fixing climate change and runaway global heating have utterly failed, and Plan A continues to fail. Our government's Plan A has now reached the emergency level, and it is time and necessary for you to begin your Job One for Humanity Plan B.
Plan A for climate change relied upon and trusted our governments to enforce science-proven targets that would have gradually reduced global fossil fuel use over the last 60+ years. But because of the massive global fossil fuel cartel disinformation campaigns and other criminal actions, our governments have failed horribly! (See graph below.)
If we were even remotely successful with Plan A, more carbon and methane would not be choking our atmosphere, the planet would not be rapidly overheating, the environment for other biological life would not be deteriorating, and we would not be on the edge of the unavoidable extinction of half of humanity by mid-century. Furthermore, we would not be staring down the high probability of near-total human extinction beginning as soon as 2070 or sooner. (Click here to learn why total human extinction is not realistic or probable, and the worst humanity will experience is near-total extinction (50 to 90+% of humanity going extinct.)
Resolving the accelerating runaway global heating emergency is critical to our future because it also is related to and contributes to the rapid worsening of almost all of our 11 other global crises.
The carbon and methane graphs below illustrate just how horribly Plan A was a complete failure in reducing the critical global heat-creating greenhouse gasses.
The first atmospheric graph just above shows the three primary greenhouse gases of carbon, methane, and Nitrous Oxide in parts per billion (PPB). All three of these greenhouse gases have increased rapidly since the Industrial Revolution (about 1750.) Worse yet, they have been growing exponentially since before 2000!
The rise of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere directly increases our average global temperature. The graph above painfully illuminates the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and our government's gross inability to do anything effective to reduce global fossil fuel-related greenhouse gases over the last six decades.
The rapidly escalating primary and secondary global warming-related consequences of this decades-long failure by our governments now compel intelligent individuals, businesses, and nations to create a runaway global heating resilience Plan B to protect themselves now that Plan A has failed and looks like it cannot and will not ever succeed.
In parts per billion, you can also see the Plan A gross failure in the rapidly increasing atmospheric methane (Ch4) graph (below). (Methane is about 80 times more potent for heating up the atmosphere.) This methane graph starts at the beginning of the fossil fuel-powered Industrial Revolution (about 1750 with the widespread use of coal.) The methane Ch4 graph begins to rocket up at the beginning of the 1900s when additional types of fossil fuels came into more widespread use.
Increased fossil fuel-derived atmospheric methane always increases average global warming temperatures in big ways.
With our new Plan B, while we are still working on preventing near-total extinction, we have shifted a significant amount of our mission focus to 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; severe and unavoidable climate change consequences and the extinction of about half of humanity by mid-century.
Yes, we can no longer avoid the extinction of about half of humanity, and therefore, we ALL need to get busy on our personal Plan Bs if we want to suffer less and have our children be among the survivors. However, we do not expect you to blindly believe us when we say this massive extinction event is unavoidable. Therefore, we have provided materials so you can see in painful detail both how and why this mass extinction event will occur by about mid-century.
After reading this page, you will understand why this will occur. It will become even more apparent as you continue watching the carbon and methane in our atmosphere rise and as higher and higher global temperatures lock in with each new tipping point crossed. The cumulative primary and secondary effects of runaway global heating consequences will illuminate how the unavoidable extinction of about half of humanity could occur by mid-century. (The how of a runaway global heating-driven mass extinction is found on this page.)
Only by understanding both why and how mass extinction will happen will you genuinely grasp the accuracy of our warning and that, unfortunately, we also face near-total, but NOT total, extinction. (Near-total extinction is defined as about 50 to 90+ percent of humanity going extinct. (For the good science and reasoning behind why it is highly improbable that all of humanity will go totally extinct from global heating, click here.)
When you finish both these why and how pages, you will not doubt the reasonableness of our strong warnings about unavoidable mass (about half) extinction. While reading this article, please also remember that many of the consequences mentioned are avoidable and unnecessary.
We can still slow and fix runaway global heating if we work together to get close to the 2025 global fossil fuel targets. Not only can we still fix this and save a good portion of humanity, but we can also create many surprising benefits for ourselves and even bring about a Great Global Rebirth once we have learned and applied the lessons of this tragedy. (Click here to see the most read page on our website with over two million views. This page will help you see all the benefits that can come into being once we have made the necessary sacrifices to fix runaway global heating and endured the coming climate consequences that we can no longer avoid.
(If you still doubt your need to begin your personal, business, or national Plan B to survive the runaway global heating extinction emergency, see the "Still have ANY doubts...." heading near the bottom of this page.)
If done correctly and soon, PLAN B should help prevent WIDESPREAD public panic and inspire a new level of global cooperation to save the younger X, Y, Z, and A generations.
Where Should You Begin Your Job One Climate Change Resilience and Recovery Plan?
It depends upon your current location, resources, and connections. The following will make this more straightforward.
The Job One for Humanity climate change resilience building and resolution plan has four key action levels.
Level 1: If you have experienced any damages to your home, business, or farm from climate change-related consequences, or you know someone who has, you need to begin a lawsuit against all related parties that have caused the climate change emergency or that should have informed you of the relevant climate change risks. If you know of someone who has experienced climate change loss and damage, get them this information.
(If you have not experienced climate change loss and damage go to Level 2 below.)
The number of court cases focused on the global climate change loss and damage has doubled since 2015, bringing the total number to over 2,000 in more than 28 countries, according to a report led by European researchers last year. More than two dozen US cities and states are suing big oil, alleging the fossil fuel industry knew for decades about the dangers of burning coal, oil, and gas and actively hid that information from consumers and investors.
If you have just experienced a climate change-related extreme weather event involving any heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes and cyclones, flooding, rain bombs, wind storms (Derechos), dust storms, wildfire smoke events, unseasonable cold spells, and abnormal unseasonal weather and, you need to begin the process for financial recovery and restitution by reading this page as soon as possible due to time limitations on filing for restitution from harmful acts. This page will connect you to successful law firms handling this specialty.
Level 2: Most individuals without direct connections of influence over their politicians and government other than by voting will need to start their Plan B programs by building climate change resilience in their homes and businesses and start their emergency backup preparations and adaptations. Click here to start the action steps of your emergency backup and adaptation plan.
Level 3: Once level one is well underway, and you do not have direct connections of influence over their politicians and government other than by voting, do your best on the Climate Justice Now program before it is too late for most of humanity to survive the climate change nightmare.
Because of the painful but true reality that our politicians and governments have thus far continually failed to fix climate change, we must focus on bypassing them and their massive failure.
Wherever applicable, help forward the Climate Justice Now program. It is all about forcing the global fossil fuel cartel to pay for ALL climate change loss and damage worldwide.
As this climate justice program builds enough momentum, our disinformed, compromised, or cowardly politicians will eventually act, and this program for effective government action on climate change will finally be able to be completed and succeed.
Unless you have direct personal influence on a politician or group of politicians, we strongly recommend you begin our Climate Justice Now program while working on the other action steps below. The Climate Justice Now program will help build the needed momentum so that, eventually, our politicians and governments will act.
At this point, current climate science strongly suggests that only the Climate Justice Now program has any realistic hope of preventing humanity from crossing the atmospheric carbon 450 ppm near-total extinction threshold. (Click to learn why the carbon 450 ppm threshold is humanity's climate change point of no return for the critical climate stability essential to human life.)
Level 4: For most individuals without direct connections of influence over their politicians and government other than by voting, after level one is well underway, they also will need to begin programs to prepare for climate change emergencies and build climate change adaptability and resilience in their, homes, businesses, and local communities. (This could involve being part of the ClimateSafe Villages Plan B supportive actions.)
Special online support announcement of 2.28.24. The staff at Job One for Humanity have recently helped to cofound a new nonprofit organization called ClimateSafe Villages. This organization was designed to help better prepare people for what's coming with the climate. It also helps them adapt and build greater climate resilience in their homes, businesses, and communities.
In addition to joining Job One for Humanity, please join ClimateSafe Villages as soon as possible. As of this date, we have transferred all our support activities for climate change emergency preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building to this new organization.
Although we helped to cofound ClimateSafe Villages, we are no longer involved with its executive management because, as a think tank, climate change research must remain our primary focus. When asked, we continue advising ClimateSafe Villages on rapidly changing climate change conditions.
At ClimateSafe Villages, hundreds (soon thousands) of individuals are being supported in a great online community and in completing the necessary but often challenging climate change emergency preparations, adaption, and resilience-building.
Please also join ClimateSafe Villages soon. Good support has proven to be 90% of the reason people succeed in challenging tasks. And please do not forget to become a member at Job One for Humanity for all of the benefits described on this page.
"No program that claims to have a solution to climate change can be called legitimate unless it is designed and prioritized around knowing when a climate change-driven mass human extinction event could occur, how it will unfold and occur, and what must be done to prevent that outcome. The Job One for Humanity Plan B relentlessly follows this critical path prioritization and deadline policy." Lawrence Wollersheim
More about the Job One for Humanity Climate Change Survival Plan
Plan B below is a self-motivated, self-organized, and self-directed do-it-yourself (DIY) system. We strongly recommend that you do not depend solely on your government to save you from the many severe, soon-arriving, and unavoidable climate change catastrophes.
Here is a bit more detail about each of the four parts of our plan before you select which part to start first:
Part 1: covers individual and business runaway global heating emergency backup preparations. It also includes how to join or build one of the four urban, rural, hybrid, or virtual models of the new supportive ClimateSafe Villages.
Part 2: covers crucial and necessary adaptations for individuals and businesses. It also includes ways to immediately reduce your personal and business fossil fuel use and increase your disaster resilience and sustainability. It also includes local, regional, state, and national voting actions.
This step will tell you what a few other organizations will say to you. You (and all of us) will have to consume far less and make many sacrifices to live more sustainably. (Electric cars and solar panels cannot scale up fast enough to replace fossil fuel in time.)
Part 3: covers all government-level actions needed to slow and then resolve the runaway global heating emergency and prevent near-total human extinction.
Part 4: covers doing your best on the Climate Justice Now program before it is too late for most of humanity to survive the climate change nightmare. We believe this program is now our best and last effective chance to slow and stop fossil fuel burning in time to save as many of us as possible. This belief is because our governments have failed to fix climate change for 60 years, and no other tactic that the environmental movement has used has stopped or even slowed the amount of global warming greenhouse gasses going into our atmosphere.
Part 4a: covers the critical save and salvage of whatever we can radical backup plan actions and strategies for execution by the world's governments, but only if things keep going as poorly with slowing down runaway global heating as they are currently going. (Please note Part 4a is a government-level only emergency backup plan in case we fail to fix climate change in time.)
Please note Parts 3 and 4 of Plan B below are the most critical parts of Plan B for humanity's long term survival. Parts 1 and 2, and 4A of Plan B are essential for the survival of individuals or businesses that want to try to survive the coming cascade of climate catastrophes.
"By working on and promoting the Job One for Humanity Plan B for climate change and runaway global heating, you are doing something noble and beautiful. You are not only acting to save yourself and those you love, but you also are helping to reduce suffering and literally save the lives of billions of others. You are a true global heating hero or heroine and a runaway global heating educator or activist." Lawrence Wollersheim

The following is the new order for most people that we strongly recommend you do the parts of the Job One Plan B.
Start with Critical Emergency Preparation Actions for Individuals and Businesses
The Job One Plan provides the essential resilience emergency preparation information you will need for you, your family, and your business. You will need this information to stay physically safe from the accelerating consequences of global warming and the other 11 global crises for as long as possible.
In Part 1 (and in the Members section of this website), you also will find critical information on how to relocate or migrate (if needed) and create or join a sustainable eco-community.
Being part of a well-prepared and well-organized sustainable community also will be essential for your longest possible well-being! If you seek to thrive and make it through the unfolding Great Global Collapse, long-term sustainability must also include being physically, emotionally, and spiritually sustainable.
Click the Preparing for Emergencies image below to go to Part 1 of the Job One Plan now!
Next, go to Critical Adaptation and Sustainability Actions for Individuals and Businesses.
This part of Plan B provides the information you will need to vote wisely on local, regional, state, and national levels and adapt to what is coming, reduce your personal or business fossil fuel use, and become more energy resilient and sustainable. Reducing our fossil fuel use is critical to getting close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. Additionally, becoming more sustainable will be critical to your survival as many parts of society will break down in the later phases of the die-off of much of humanity by mid-century.
Part 2 information will also greatly aid in learning how to survive for the longest possible time. Part 2 of the Job One Plan contains the how-to manual for creating sustainable prosperity and a thriving post-collapse future.
Click the Sustainability Best Practices image below to go to Part 2 of the Job One plan now!
Next, Do your best on the Climate Justice Now program before it is too late for most of humanity to survive the climate change nightmare.
There are other last-chance influence strategies besides the Climate Justice Now program to get our governments to act before it is too late. Here are some additional strategies for directly protesting and influencing your politicians as individuals before it is too late. It is challenging, but do whatever you can while working on the other parts of the Job One Plan. This is our last-chance strategy to get our politicians to get our governments to act to reduce global fossil fuel use before it is too late.
If we are unsuccessful in Part 3, we experience near-total human extinction instead of only the unavoidable extinction of about half of humanity by mid-century.
Click here to read about why 2025 to 2031, if we are very fortunate, is all the time we have left to make government-level changes.
Here are the three most effective actions:
1. Understand our Climate Justice Now program and promote it everywhere you can because our survival depends on it.
2. Click here for how to effectively protest your local, state, regional, and national politicians. (You will also use this information for the second step below.)
3. Click here for our super long shop billionaire's plan, especially if you have connections to billionaires or the 1% wealthiest people.
If we can get our governments to act, we will, at worst, only experience near-total human extinction. Near-total extinction leaves around 50% to 10% (or less) of humanity surviving.
Click here to learn why total human extinction is neither likely nor probable and natural, and human systems eventually will mobilize and kick in to counteract the runaway global heating extinction emergency.
Push the Critical Actions for the World's Governments to Slow Down and Fix the Runaway Global Heating Extinction Emergency
Part 3 is what our politicians need to make new laws for to enforce immediate government action.
Click here to learn about what it will take to get our governments to slow down and delay the global warming-caused extinction emergency enough so that some can survive longer and more comfortably.
As a Last Resort, Demand the "Save and Salvage Whatever We Can, While We Still Can" Critical Governmental Emergency Backup Plan Actions
The world is in deep climate trouble. We are not making anything close to the global progress needed in reducing our fossil fuel use. If we keep going as we are now, humanity will not just face the already unavoidable extinction of half of humanity by mid-century. It will be facing near-total extinction.
This risk means our governments must also begin their "everything might go wrong" emergency backup survival plans.
"There can be no margin for error whenever there is a real and imminent threat of near-total human extinction. Every factor must be considered. A backup plan must exist for every contingency." Lawrence Wollersheim
Depending on your current location, you should still have time to prepare for and adapt to the myriad of now unavoidable runaway global heated-related primary and secondary consequences.
We have provided the runaway global heating and interrelated crisis timetable here in our Members section to help determine how much time you have to prepare, adapt, or relocate.
Remember that this timetable significantly depends on your location's safety and global warming risk level. If you are in a higher-risk area, the timeframes are shorter. Also, please keep in mind that while you are preparing and adapting, keep relentlessly pushing our governments to radically reduce global fossil fuel use so that more of humanity will be able to survive near-total extinction.
Click here for the critical survival and safer location-relevant deadlines and timeframes to know for personal and business survival.
Now that you know the critical timeframes, it is time to work toward the best possible climate outcomes while still preparing for the worst possible climate outcomes. Wise individuals or businesses will work for the best and prepare for the worst:
a. by making the necessary personal and business 75% fossil fuel use reductions to do their part to get us close to the 2025 global targets. (Part two of the Job One Plan will help you do this.)
b. by demanding their national politicians enforce the reduction of global fossil fuel use to get us close to the 2025 targets. (This action step is mainly for individuals who can directly influence their national politicians. (See Part three of the Job One Plan to see what our governments must do.)
c. by making the necessary emergency preparations and adaptations to build their climate change resilience. This resilience will be essential to manage the worst of the coming climate consequences successfully. (If you are fortunate, well prepared, and in a safer global warming region, you could survive 30-50 more years. (Part one of the Job One Plan will help you do this.)
d. by making new climate change decisions concerning what they want to do about the accelerating climate consequences. This might include re-planing their lives or re-adjusting their priorities to focus on the meaningful and important things they may have delayed or failed to do.

More About Why the Job One Plan Exists
Solving the climate change and runaway global heating emergency will be challenging and complicated. This is because many things are creating and prolonging our runaway global heating problem.
Runaway global heating of today's climate change is not only caused by burning more fossil fuels due to ever-increasing human consumption and resource needs. It is also caused by the even more challenging problem of overpopulation. (Overpopulation drives the over-consumption of fossil fuel and many of our other limited planetary resources.)
To resolve our current climate change and runaway global heating emergency, we will need:
- a systemic and immediate multi-government-driven and government-enforced reduction in global fossil fuel use to get close to the survival-critical 2025 global reduction targets.
- widespread individual behavioral change towards far lower fossil fuel use and greater sustainability. (This will require significant personal sacrifice.) And ultimately,
- once the current global heating emergency is under control, we will need to fix the deeper causes of the runaway global heating emergency (beyond fossil fuel burning alone like Overshoot, economic aberrations and inequalities, and overpopulation.)
Only systemic governmental enforcement combined with massive individual behavioral change and necessary sacrifice will save us from ourselves and the worse consequences of an accelerating climate nightmare before it is too late.
Fortunately, you will find the necessary combination of the systemic government actions needed to secure humanity's future from the threat of a runaway global heating-driven near-total extinction, and essential individual behavioral change actions in the Job One for Humanity Plan B below.
Although we face a very difficult future if we do not make immediate radical changes, there is still a small window of hope and time left, and it is critical to find enjoyment and meaning every day in our remaining climate stability and...
The Catastrophic or Unavoidable Consequences of Climate Change and Runaway Global Heating Emergency
Here is what we already are facing or soon will be:
a. these primary and secondary global heating consequences, which will be regularly increasing in severity, frequency, and scale,
b. crossing dangerous climate and global heating tipping points and amplifying climate feedback loops at faster rates, and,
c. the unfortunate and interconnected worsening of society's 11 other current major global crises.
For humanity to survive the above worsening runaway global heating and elated consequences and have a livable future, three crucial things need to happen:
1. Politicians and individuals must vote for politicians who understand the ten critical facts of runaway global heating and why getting close to the 2025 targets is a life-and-death matter for ALL of humanity.
2. All of our politicians and governments must mass mobilize and immediately enforce global fossil fuel reductions to get close to the 2025 global reduction targets. (This will slow down runaway global heating-related consequences enough to avoid total human extinction) And,
3. Individuals, businesses, and nations must immediately create and begin executing their individual Plan B emergency preparation backup, adaptation, and survival plans. (Our adaptation plans include better climate political voting, becoming more sustainable, and cutting consumption wherever possible.)
At this time, individuals also need to begin the emergency preparation and adaptation steps of Plan B that they can still control because the current odds of coming close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets are not good. Unfortunately, our politicians either do not understand we are fighting for the very survival of humanity (because of our 60-year delays in acting, the first half of humanity is already lost by mid-century.)
Other politicians are blinded by their incompetence and negligence in failing to conduct a proper due diligence investigation and research on the climate change emergency. Many politicians also have hidden financial conflicts of interest where they receive substantial personal economic benefits from the fossil fuel industry, its lobbyists, or investments from fossil fuel-related industries and projects.
More Compelling reasons for you to start your Job One Climate Change Solution and Resilience-Building Plan Today
Individuals, businesses, or nations that are preparing a runaway global heating-driven resilience Plan B believe that:
1. they see an unavoidable and inescapable cascading convergence of consequences, which will create a stream of horrific catastrophes and human and natural system collapses. This coming nightmare is because of the many amplifying, multiplying, and disruptive interactions between our 12 worsening critical global crises.
2. with so little time left before runaway global heating consequences and other global crises accelerate to unbearable levels, they now need to use the remaining time and available resources to execute their emergency resilience backup Plan B. And for individuals,
3. they have no practical way to personally execute the political influence steps of Part Three of the Job One Plan B. These steps would slow down the runaway global heating accelerator of the coming catastrophes and system collapses.
4. If you want to review additional climate science on why about half of humanity will go extinct by mid-century, click here. We want you to have all of the climate science and analysis behind our half of humanity going extinct by mid-century statements. Hence, you will know that the many painful and difficult changes you will soon need to make on the Job One Plan B are genuinely warranted.
Many Job One for Humanity's staff, members, and website visitors do not see the runaway global heating extinction emergency as an either/or issue. They see it as a both/and issue.
This both/and issue strategy means that they are:
a. working on their own emergency resilience Plan B backup actions below. (Parts 1 and 2 of the Job One Plan.) And
b. if they have any direct or indirect political influence, they are also working on Part Three of the Job One Plan to slow down the global warming consequences that we can no longer avoid as best as we can.
The rationale behind this individual both/and strategy is that the more we reduce global fossil fuel use to come as close as possible to the 2025 targets:
1. The more individuals that will survive longer and suffer less.
2. The more time the world will have to prepare for and adapt to the worst of the coming consequences.
The good news is that although we can no longer avoid the die-off of much of humanity by mid-century, we can still prevent near-total extinction by coming at least close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. Moreover, if we come close to the 2025 targets, we will keep ourselves from crossing the carbon 600 ppm level. (Carbon 600 ppm is the atmospheric carbon level where we will also enter the final phases of run-away global warming! If you are unsure how much worse it can get if we enter a run-away global warming, please click this link.)
And finally, because runaway global heating is the biggest disruptor and threat multiplier for all our other major global crises, we indirectly improve most of our other global crises when we improve runaway global heating. At the same time, we slow the pace of these other crises, crossing their own internal tipping points.
It is just that simple!
In Summary
Never forget that the actions needed for this Plan B for humanity for the climate, runaway global heating, and many of the other critical global challenges we currently face can only successfully occur if the wealthier nations near, above, or just below the 45th parallel north and the 45th parallel south work together and cooperate with all of the other nations within the global warming unsafe zones. If fear takes hold and global warming safer nations close or restrict borders and do not cooperate, the conflicts/wars between the unsafe and safe zones could most likely also end humanity. Humanity could find its bitter end in nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare or the other toxic meltdown consequences described above. (For more on this, see the later phases of the global warming Climageddon Scenario.)
Because we are doing so poorly in reducing greenhouse gases to the required 2025 targets, we need to transfer willing populations and critical infrastructure from unsafe high-risk zones to low-risk safer zones. We need to start to put the resources in place and negotiate the treaties (or whatever resources and manpower are necessary) to ensure that the nuclear sites, the biological and chemical weapons sites, and the toxic chemical manufacturing sites in the unsafe zones go on being correctly maintained no matter how bad it gets in those zones.
There is much to transfer, build, or prepare. Little time is left to save humanity and our civilization from near-total extinction. Only by immediately beginning the above governmental resilience emergency backup plan steps do we have any reasonable hope that enough of humanity and civilization will go on.
There are additional good reasons for using the least optimistic climate and runaway global heating predictions for any backup plan as well as for recovery or long-term survival plans. They are:
1. The many serious errors and underestimation problems in global warming prediction scenarios (click here for all the details or see Chapter 7, Part 1 on IPCC underestimation in Climageddon book).
2. The sudden, large-scale unpredictability that each additional crossed tipping point creates. (See this tipping point page or the tipping point chapter in Climageddon. Also, see the updated Climageddon Scenario details here.
3. We will be very lucky if the worst we get is anything close to only the IPCC's current least optimistic consequence and timeframe projections! And,
4. If you are involved in mid to long-range planning in any industry, you will probably lose your job if you fail to adequately plan for the new realities of the escalating global warming extinction emergency. (Please note that implementing the above backup plan also means our local and regional business planners, city and zoning planners, and long-term corporate and national governmental planners must begin radically restructuring their current 5, 10, 25, and 50-year plans. This time they need to use the least optimistic and far more honest climate prediction scenarios [found on this website here as well as in the new Climageddon book.]
For example, in the San Francisco Bay Area, the headquarters of big tech corporations like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Apple now have to readjust their long-term operational or relocation plans to deal with their low-lying international headquarters facing as much as 13 feet [3.9 meters] of sea-level rise by 2100. This means these billion-dollar high-tech Silicon Valley headquarters buildings may likely be experiencing first-floor flooding within as little as 20 to 30 years. [A worst-case but far more realistic scenario of up to 3-6 -foot, 1-2-meter rise by 2050 was projected by James Hansen's newest research, with the addition of another 3 feet, 0.9 meters accounting for any coincident king tides and storm surges.)
Never forget that unless we get the politicians to get the governments of the world to cooperate, manage, and execute the action steps in Part 3 of the Job One plan, there is vastly smaller hope humanity will survive no matter how well prepared we are. So, with the little time we have left to save the second half of humanity, continue protesting your politicians until they act to protect us all, as described in the protesting tips on this page.
Hopefully, at some point, even the world's 1% wealthiest individuals, corporations, and nations will also recognize their money and power won't save them from the runaway global heating extinction monster, and they will begin to do their part to influence our politicians to act. They will finally do this because they will realize that we either cooperate and work together or die together.
Click here to see our secondary program to reach the wealthiest 1% to get the 1% to act. It does this by helping them to realize the horror, suffering, financial loss, death, and physical, emotional, and spiritual trauma that will be experienced to the level that life will no longer be worth living!
At this point, you may feel a bit overwhelmed by what you have read and the enormity of the challenges we must overcome to survive. You may also believe the task is so enormous with such a low probability of success, why even try.
The following story may help you begin dealing with those ideas or emotions.
The wise general
A wise Chinese general was cornered at the banks of a large river by an opposing army at least 20 times larger than his own. His only means of escape was to get his army across the river before they were attacked. This general had also previously placed enough boats on the bank of the river for escape with his army should that need arise.
As the larger army approached, pushing the smaller army closer to the river, this general gave the order to his most trusted lieutenants to rush to the boats and burn them. When his army saw their only means of escape was being destroyed, they became wildly angry and charged toward the general. The army demanded to know why their trusted general had burned their escape boats and condemned all of them to certain death at the hands of a vastly superior army.
The general calmly said, “We will win this battle, or we will die. There is no other alternative and no escape.”
His army now knew their only option was victory or death. Filled with such clarity and single-mindedness of purpose, they fought with such focused intensity they defeated the opposing army 20 times their size.
Now that you better understand the rapidly approaching extinction consequences of our global warming extinction emergency from the science and analysis found on this website, you too should no longer retain any illusion of any long-term escape for you or your family, business, or nation from immense suffering and likely extinction --- if we do not deal with the reality of this emergency.
What you also may not have realized yet, is that our 60-year failure to have previously started effective fossil fuel usage reductions means that we, too, in effect, have already burned our escape boats! Because of this, like the Chinese army, we either win or we die.
This is the perilous and sad point that we have come to because of our government's inaction and ineffectiveness in addressing global warming and the required fossil fuel reductions for sixty-plus years.
The good news is that if we act wisely, cooperatively, and immediately on the above Plan B and radically cut fossil fuel use to close to the 2025 targets, humanity, and civilization may have a chance to continue.
So what do you have to lose? What rational alternative do you have other than to act immediately to begin your global heating Resilience Plan B and radically reduce your personal fossil fuel use?
What legitimate excuse is there for you not to help us get our governments to enforce the required radical fossil fuel reductions by the necessary deadlines that only governments can achieve? (This is done in Part 3 and Part 4 of the Job One Plan.)
The reality is that failure is no longer an option.
Still, have doubts about starting our Job One Plan B to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your business from the accelerating consequences of runaway global heating?
Only if you still have doubts about the seriousness of the accelerating dangers of our current runaway global heating emergency, read this section.

An essential positive perspective on the above disruptive runaway global heating and climate change news
Despite the many types of challenging runaway global heating consequences and past fossil fuel reduction mistakes that we now face, we can still learn from their feedback and adapt and evolve to make life as good and happy as possible. No matter how severe the coming global warming consequences might become, if we wisely play the remaining cards we have been given, we can still achieve the best possible outcomes.
We can still significantly reduce global fossil fuel use to stabilize and save some parts of humanity's future. We can execute a comprehensive fossil fuel reduction and survival plan like Plan B of the Job One for Humanity Plan.
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 Global Rebirth beyond the coming suffering and loss.
First, read this page (that has been read almost 2 million times), and then read this other critical global warming benefit page. On these pages, you will find the many often hidden surprise benefits of the global warming challenge. You also will find a framework and the positive possibilities for what could be called a post-collapse Great Global Rebirth, no matter how bad the collapse process gets.
Our organization believes that at least some of us can persevere through this temporary time of emergency. To do so, we must remember that our greatest challenges are also the seeds of our greatest opportunities. We can never forget that we are engaged in nothing less than the most critical and meaningful evolutionary opportunity, challenge, and adventure in human history!
This is our last opportunity to slow down the near-total extinction threat by getting close to these 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. We can only remove the even worse threat of near-total extinction by reaching these targets.
And, when we come close to these 2025 targets as a beautiful bonus, we will also significantly improve many of the world's other major challenges (listed here.)
Get started today on the Job One for Humanity Plan B Survive and Thrive plan today. Help save and salvage as much of humanity and our beautiful civilization as possible.

About Job One for Humanity
Our mission is to prepare the world for an all but certain and unavoidable climate change-driven mass human extinction (about 50% of humanity by 2050.) If we don't stop denying the real consequences of our government's total failure to manage accelerating climate change, we will fail to prepare for it, and nothing will be left of humanity or civilization as we know it today.
"When you realize that our governments totally failed to control climate change (when it was still controllable,) and you understand global warming is now beyond our control for centuries and --- that it is time to prepare for the coming climate change catastrophes to minimize your suffering and loss, Job One for Humanity (and our sister organization ClimateSafe Villages) will be there for you.
At Job One, you will find the needed climate change emergency preparation, adaptation, resilience-building, and recovery information. We will not 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 being intentionally hidden from the global public." Lawrence Wollersheim
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 dialectical meta-systemic analysis of the many inter-connected and inter-dependent climate systems and sub-systems creating our current climate change emergency and runaway global heating. Our organization supplies accurate climate change analysis and information to educational organizations, climate activist organizations, and individuals worldwide without charge.
