Please get the above uncensored climate facts widely distributed and to your politicians before it is too late for any of us!

IT IS ALMOST BEYOND THE TIME NEEDED TO ACT! This knowledge, once widely shared, will help illuminate the true urgency of our runaway global heating extinction emergency. Moreover, understanding the true urgency of the global heating emergency will eventually create the necessary public demand to get our politicians to begin a government-enforced global fossil fuel reduction plan that will work. 

The worst consequences runaway global heating extinction emergency will not be prevented or lessened unless:

1. We get our politicians to act. Click here for how to do that.

2. You get active on the many scalable solutions in the Job One for Humanity Plan B. And, 

3. You do your part to help educate others about today's uncensored climate facts before it is too late. 

Unfortunately, too many climate and environmental organizations still have-not reviewed this page's climate facts and science. So, please also get their executives this information too.

Fact 1: Our governments have completely failed to fix the accelerating climate change emergency over the last six decades. Our governments are not making any actual or the required progress on lowering greenhouse gases  that would save humanity from mass extinction. (Measuring atmospheric greenhouse gas levels is the single most accurate measure of real climate change reduction progress.)

Our governments have continuously failed to reduce climate change because they have been severely compromised by the global fossil fuel cartel's immense wealth and influence. This wealth and power have caused politicians worldwide to block regulations that would reduce global fossil fuel use to the levels required to save humanity and our future. 

The global fossil fuel cartel has also compromised worldwide climate media coverage and the UN's IPCC summary reports on climate change so that they consistently censor and significantly underestimate:

a. the coming severity of climate consequences, 

b. the timetables for the most severe climate consequences, and 

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

It is time to call out the single greatest force preventing our governments from ending the climate change emergency for what it is. Our governments and the media have been compromised and victimized by the biggest corporate fraud in history. 

It is time to hold the global fossil fuel cartel criminally and financially responsible for the damages caused by their products and actions, namely massive property damage and property loss, escalating crop failures, worldwide starvation and malnutrition, and continually increasing tens of millions of annual deaths. The direct or indirect consequences of fossil fuel-induced climate change cause these losses and deaths.

Since there are tow parts to the above, it will be handled in two sections.

 

Section 1: The ongoing and dangerous global fossil fuel cartel massive climate change fraud claim

"The citizens of the world are still being victimized by the largest and most dangerous continuous act of corporate fraud for profit ever perpetrated!"? 

It is time to get you evidence so that you, too, will fully agree that the world's citizens are currently at a severe survival risk because they are still being victimized by the global fossil fuel cartel's dangerous and continuous acts of corporate fraud.

To see the extensive research we have done in this area demonstrating how the global fossil fuel cartel has influenced our governments, the media, and the IPCC into continuously and systematically censoring and significantly underestimating the coming severity of climate consequences, their timetables, and the correct global fossil fuel reduction targets, please see this first lead page and then review its sub-pages and the many links on those pages. 

But be warned; you may also become outraged when you finish examining all the ways you have been continuously and systemically deceived and denied the truth by the global fossil fuel cartel concerning the real climate change emergency consequences, timetables, and its honest solutions. 

Also, be sure to see the hundreds and hundreds of well-documented blog articles about the global fossil fuel cartel's relentless ongoing efforts to make sure we do not reduce global fossil fuel use to reduce climate change and the runaway global heating emergency. Click here to start reading this well-documented blog.

 

Section 2: The world's governments complete failure to manage climate change for the last 60+ years

There is no better measure of the last sixty years of our government's success or failure in reducing global warming than the amount of carbon going into our atmosphere. This is because more carbon going into the atmosphere directly causes the average global temperature to rise.

Look carefully at the atmospheric carbon graph below.

 

 

As you can see, we are adding more carbon into the atmosphere from the global burning of fossil fuels each year. According to the immutable laws of physics, this means ever-rising temperatures will resolutely follow every rise in atmospheric carbon.

But, worse yet, we are also adding more carbon to the atmosphere at faster and faster rates! (The dotted line in the graph above is getting steeper and increasing incrementally each year. This steepening line on the chart indicates we are adding more carbon to the atmosphere at faster and faster rates.)

To make our government's utter failure even more apparent:

In the 1960s, we only added about 0.5 carbon parts per million (ppm) to the atmosphere each year. 

In the 1970s, we added about 1.3 carbon ppm per year. 

In the 1980s and 1990s, we added about 1.5 carbon ppm per year. 

In the 2000s, we added about 2.0 carbon ppm per year. 

In the 2010s, we added about 2.4 carbon ppm per year. 

Over the 2020s, we have added about 2.7 carbon ppm per year. And,

We are now adding about 3 carbon ppm (or more) each year. 

What is essential about the graph below is that it illuminates on its right side how we have shockingly increased our annual rate of atmospheric carbon pollution by almost six times (if you also include what has happened in the 2020s.) 

 

 

Our rapid global annual carbon increase above also means that not only have we failed to reduce global fossil fuel for over six decades, but we have also actually radically increased the yearly fossil fuel pollution of our atmosphere! 

The graph below also painfully shows the annual increases in carbon (CO2) going into our atmosphere and our global governments utter failure to reduce global fossil fuel use over the last six decades. (The graph measures gigatons of carbon pollution going into our atmosphere. A gigaton is 1,000,000,000 tonnes.)

 

 

This is the state of our past global fossil fuel reduction efforts, and you will not hear many publicly speaking this horrible truth.

We must now face the reality that we have utterly failed to control the accelerating global warming nightmare. This failure is despite the many international conferences, treaties, reduction agreements, warnings, new climate policies, new climate laws, and the actions of thousands of global NGOs and environmental groups educating for decades about the extinction dangers of accelerating global heating. 

This real, gigantic and well-hidden failure is real and exists despite all contrary media or other climate reporting by those with hidden or vested financial interests in the fossil fuel industry.

Look again above at science's most accurate carbon measurement of our total reductions in global fossil fuel use and the true measure of our government's effectiveness in reducing escalating global heating. We have unequivocally failed to manage humanity's single greatest short-term threat (other than immediate global thermo-nuclear war.)

We will not be safe from runaway global warming and extinction until our governments get atmospheric carbon levels once again at or below about the carbon 350 ppm level.

Yes, this vast and continuous governmental climate management failure is tough to deal with, but to begin taking the correct climate path out of this mess, one must know honestly from where they are starting. An informed society that does not know where it currently is with its climate management progress will also not have the necessary urgency or focus to fix it.

Just in case you still believe your governments have been protecting you from the accelerating consequences of global heating caused by burning more and more fossil fuel, here is a graph showing all of the three major fossil fuel related greenhouse gases, carbon (CO2), methane (CH4) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O).

Not only have our governments and the UN, IPCC completely failed to do anything effective to stop the climate change emergency and reverse global heating, they have also be continuously deceptively influenced by the global fossil fuel cartel into acting as profit protecting agents for the cartel by their continuously and systematically censored and significantly underestimated the coming severity of climate consequences, their timetables, and the correct global fossil fuel reduction targets to the general public. We do not say that without having dedicated a tremendous amount of research to demonstrating how that could be true.

 

 

The next most important climate facts to know are about the severity and timing of our climate consequences.

Fact 2: By 2025-2031, the severity, frequency, and scale of extreme weather events will increase radically and far beyond where it is today! Climate change-driven extreme weather events are defined, in part, as heatwaves, heat domes, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, cyclones, tornados, floods and flooding, rain bombs, wind storms [Derechos], dust storms, wildfire smoke events, unseasonable cold spells, and other abnormal unseasonal weather. This sudden radical increase in climate consequences is primarily due to the cumulative and synergetic atmospheric greenhouse gas pollution effects of over 150 years of fossil fuel burning and our crossing major climate change tipping points and feedback loops during that period. 

Also, the biggest single global climate catastrophe to date may occur during this period.

This sudden 2025-2031 radical increase in climate consequence severity, frequency, and scale is because:

1. We will have already crossed key amplifying and critical climate tipping points and climate feedback loops and we will have stepped into the beginning stages of runaway global heating.

2. We also will be crossing more amplifying climate feedback loops and climate tipping points at even faster rates during the 2025-2031 period.

3. We will have crossed into a new level of atmospheric carbon pollution level where we reach carbon (CO2) 425-450 parts per million (ppm.) Lowered atmospheric carbon is the best and most accurate way to see the actual results of our past fossil fuel reduction efforts. (Again please see the atmospheric carbon graph below. As of March 2022, we were at carbon 421 ppm.)

 

 

4. We may also possibly experience the largest climate tipping point catastrophe and global disruptor (the Thwaites "doomsday glacier.") It has been predicted to potentially collapse as soon as the next 3-5 years while other predictions say it may take a few more decades. This one "doomsday glacier" the size of England when it collapses will have quickly arriving dire global affects ---  a rising sea level of 2-3 feet.

A 2-3 foot global sea level rise will cause the greatest real estate sell-off in human history. It will also cause a massive distribution and manufacturing breakdown for vital products and commodities essential for life.

Ports, coastal highways, sewage, water treatment, and power plants will also be disabled to some degree by the initial 2-3 ft rise in sea level as well as by the 7-10 feet of additional sea level rise that will follow the Thwaites glacier collapse in the following decades.

5. Our climate bill has finally come due because for the last sixty years, our governments have failed to fix climate change,  

According to James Hansen the respected NASA climate scientist, we first entered the beginning phases of runaway global heating when we passed the carbon 386 ppm level (and comitted ourselves to passing behyond the 1.5 degree Celsius increased global temperture level). 

Climate change and global heating consequences will not only rise radically. Eventually they will eventually increase very steeply to exponentially, and at best, you may have only another 2-8 more years of relative climate stability, depending upon where you live. Beginning around 2025, if you are in a high-risk climate change and global heating area, the global warming consequences that you are already experiencing will start to become radically worse because of more crossed climate tipping points.

Take a look at the partial list of global heating consequences below. On the list below, food and other essential resource shortages, increased global starvation, and rapidly rising food prices will become rapidly intensifying and chronic problems.

 

 

Here are the "what do we need to do now to save ourselves" facts.

 

Fact 7: Individual fossil fuel reduction actions alone (even if done by hundreds of millions of us,) will not save about half of humanity perishing before 2050. This is fully because of 60 years of the grossly negligent government and politician ineffectiveness created and enabled by the global fossil fuel cartel's powerful invisible hand controlling and disinforming our leaders.

Only massive government-enforced action to reduce global fossil fuel use by 75% by 2025 (maybe 2031 if we are super-lucky) can save the post-2050 climate survivors from the even worse, and almost certain near-total extinction process (occurring from about 2050 to 2080.)

The good news is there still is time to save much of the post-2050 remaining half of humanity, but again, only if our governments radically and immediately reduce global fossil fuel use to get close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets.

Here are the detailed actions our governments must enforce. 

Here is how to get our politicians to force our governments to finally act.

There is still an important role for individual actions to reduce fossil fuel use described here. While massive individual fossil fuel reductions are now too little and too late to save about half of humanity before about 2050, they still can play a significant role in what percentage of humanity survives after 2050. See this critical page to understand the important role that our steadily accumulating individual actions to reduce global fossil fuel use will play in helping save humanity once humanity finally forces its politicians and government to act after humanity has hit the climate change catastrophe "rock bottom."

Steadily accumulating individual actions could help make the difference of as much as 30% of humanity surviving after 2050. If individual fossil fuel reduction actions do not continue to grow significantly, as few as five percent or less of humanity could survive until about 2070.

We cannot let our governments and politicians miss this final opportunity to save our and humanity's future.  

Our governments must also begin planning now for a massive population loss and a sudden global decline. (The surprising reason why we will not go totally extinct is explained in this link.)

 

If you are a science person, this link for Fact 7 will take you to documentation links and expanded information about the many silmeltaneous actions that our governments must do immediately to save humanity in time.

Here are the immediate actions our governments must enforce to save at least part of humanity post-mid-century. 

Here is how to get our politicians to force our governments to act.)

Individuals and businesses must now work for the best and silmeltaneously prepare for the worst by:

a. demanding their national politicians reduce global fossil fuel use to get us close to the honest and correct 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. (This action step is mainly for individuals who can directly influence their national politicians. (See Part three of the Job One for Humanity Plan B to see what our governments must do.) 

b. making the necessary personal 75% fossil fuel use reductions to do their part to get us close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. (Part two of the Job One for Humanity Plan B will help you do this.) 

c. demanding that our governments enact climate justice principles, which care equally for the climate survival and well-being of All peoples of Earth, particularly for those nations and peoples who were not the major creators of the massive carbon pollution of our atmosphere from fossil fuel burning. (Many peoples and nations were, and are not, the major creators of today's global heating extinction emergency.)

d. making better global heating decisions concerning what they want to do personally about the accelerating climate and runaway global heating consequences. (This might even 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. This information is also found in the Job One for Humanity Plan B.) 

a. making the necessary emergency preparations and adaptations needed to build their climateand global heating resilience vital to successfully managing the worst of the coming climate and global heating consequences. (If you are fortunate, well prepared, and in a global heating safer region (described in the expanded fact section,) you could survive 30-50 more years, possibly even longer. (Part one of the Job One for Humanity Plan B will help you do this.) 

To act wisely and fix the runaway global heating emergency, it is also critical for every individual and business to know the accurate timeframes for the next even bigger waves of global heating consequences found here and in the Job One for Humanity Plan B. Understanding the coming global heating consequence timeframes will allow you and your loved ones adequate planning and action time to create the best possible global heating emergency outcomes while simultaneously preparing for the worst possible global heating outcomes.

The safe and unsafe areas map below for the safer global heating areas also will be explained on the expanded climate facts page and in its links.) In general, on the global heating risk map below if you live in areas between the red and yellow lines you have a considerably higher global heating risk level. 

 

 

If you are a science person, this link for Fact 7 will take you to the safest global heating areas and the timeframes you will need to know to prepare yourself for what is coming.

 

Fact 8: Everything our governments are currently doing to fix the climate change emergency is still "far too little, far too late." Because effective government global fossil fuel use reduction is not happening at anything close to fast enough (the 2025 targets), our organization strongly recommends all individuals, businesses, communities, and nations immediately begin what we call our climate change Plan B. Plan B contains many types of actions, particularly the urgently needed emergency preparations and critical adaptations for the many climate change catastrophes we can no longer avoid.

Some many wise individuals and businesses have already started their "Plan B" Climate change emergency preparation, adaptation, and survival plans. By enacting their Plan B emergency backup and resilience-building plans before 2025 when climate change consequences will begin to rise radically, these prudent individuals and organizations are ensuring they, their loved ones, businesses, communities, and nations will have the best chance to make it through the coming unavoidable climate change catastrophes. 

To support their Plan B actions, many individuals are also joining or creating our recommended urban, suburban, rural, hybrid, or virtual climate change-resilient eco-communities. These new, supportive, and resilient eco-communities are discussed in detail here. We call them Climate-Safe Villages. 

Because climate change consequences will soon start growing very steeply to exponentially (about 2025-2031), starting your emergency preparation, adaptation, and other Plan B actions is critical before it is too late to do so. 

The worst possible time to prepare for an emergency is when many others recognize the crisis and scramble to get the same resources you will need. Unfortunately, the 2025-2031 soaring climate consequences time frame means you have little time left to do everything required to prepare adequately!

There are many soon-arriving climate consequence reasons for beginning a personal or business Plan B. Because of our other many accelerating climate consequences there will be partial to complete collapses of vulnerable, less resilient social, economic, political, and ecological systems as global heating soars and consequently as about half of humanity unavoidably goes extinct by mid-century. Moreover, few our our human systems will be able to withstand the desperate and increasing runaway global heating-driven, mass starvation, mass migrations, and the next wave of regional, national, and international resource conflicts. 

In addition to having the needed survival emergency preparation and adaptation steps, the Job One for Humanity Plan B is built upon the wise strategy of preparing for the worst possible outcomes while still staying focused on creating the best possible outcomes. This dual focus is necessary because if our governments don't act soon, there will be few of us left at the predicted post-mid-century higher global sea levels and temperatures, and surviving will be far more challenging.

The Job One Plan B is also about emotionally and physically preparing yourself (and your loved ones) for all of the terrible sacrifices and suffering that we must endure to make it through the many unavoidable and soon-arriving consequences of the runaway global heating emergency. The Job One for Humanity Plan B also includes our governments at all levels (local, regional, and national) having a plan of managed climate retreat that prepares for the massive global heating-driven population collapse and the consequent sudden and steep global decline in most of our other global support systems. (Plan B could even involve migrating to a new location that will be safer from the accelerating consequences of runaway global heating. Additionally, Managed Retreat and climate change migration are also potential survival and adaptation strategies.) 

Start your Job One Plan B soon, and do not forget that we must get our governments to act now to save as many people as possible. If you have any doubts that you need to start your Plan B immediately, read more about the many soon-arriving and severe climate change consequences. 

Beyond Plan B actions, we also advise you to take full advantage of the relative climate stability we now still have to make your life and your relationships as meaningful and enjoyable as possible. This is due to many more dangerous climate tipping points being crossed soon.

Because of these crossed climate tipping points, from 2025 to 2031, climate consequences will radically increase in severity, frequency, and size of the area affected. We also may be dealing with 2 to 3 feet of sea level rise if Thwaites collapses during this period. 

After 2031 things only get worse as we cross even more major climate tipping points, climate feedbacks, and climate consequences will continue rising steeply to exponentially!

Because of the proceeding, our organization will not fault anyone who seeks to sustainably experience parts of nature that will not be there for long. Likewise, we will not shame anyone who chooses to live out their "bucket list" in such a terrible situation and projected future.

That being said, we continue to encourage everyone who comes across our uncensored climate information to simultaneously also do everything they can on the Job One for Humanity Plan that will finally get our governments to act. This way, we can, at least, save some part of humanity after mid-century.

If you have not done so, please look over the primary and secondary runaway global heating consequences on this page to understand what we are facing.

If you want to see a series of powerful graphic timeline illustrations of just how little time we have left derived before global life gets wildly out of control, from the MIT Club of Rome's original study and its four subsequent verification studies along with all five of these studies being updated with the most recent climate change research, click here. 

 

 

If you are a science person, this link for Fact 8 will take you to documentation links and expanded information about the Thwaites "doomsday glacier" and the many parts of a wise Plan B for yourself, your family and your business.

 

Fact 9: There is still good climate change news to counterbalance the government inaction caused highly probable, almost certain deaths of about half of humanity by around mid-century.

Humanity can still:

a. save much of the other half of humanity (when our governments finally act.

b. obtain many worthwhile benefits through the step-by-step process of FINALLY fixing the climate emergency. 

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

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

There will be much suffering and death that we can no longer escape. But the many possible positive benefits for the lucky and wise survivors could create a world in which we ALL would want to live. We strongly recommend you come back to the following benefits link after you have finished this page and the three recommended actions at the bottom of the page. 

You have read a lot of terrible climate change news. It is now essential to balance all this bad news with appropriate good news and the realistic hope provided by the many positive possibilities of a Great Global Rebirth.

This benefits link leads to the most read page on our website, viewed over 2 million times. Click here to learn more about the many positive possibilities of fixing global heating and a Great Global Rebirth. 

If you are a science person, this link for Fact 11 will take you to documentation links and expanded explanations of this fact. 

 

Fact 10: We are almost out of time to save as much as a potential 50% of post-2050 climate change catastrophe survivors. We have no time left to be diverted by wild and unproven at-scale "new technology" Silicon Valley get-rich-quick IPO schemes. There is no substitute for getting close to the required radical 2025 global fossil fuel reductions, or we will face near-total extinction.

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

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

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

If you are interested in more about the timeframes that humanity will experience climate-related and other global catastrophes, please review the timeframe illustrations on this page.

So hoping for some "new technology" to be discovered and save us at the last minute before our critical 2025 deadline and that can be scaled up in time without horrible side effects--- is an awful strategy destined for failure and an expensive illusion dooming much of humanity to extinction. 

The major factor by far at this 11th hour that can still save about half of humanity post 2050 is to immediately and radically reduce all global fossil fuel use and get close to the survival-critical 2025 global targets.

The widely promised miracle "new technologies" (including the "new" small nuclear reactors or new nuculear fussion or fission reacors) that will save us from climate extinction are false solutions that steal the real urgency away from the climate change and runaway global heating emergency to reduce fossil fuels now, and worse yet:

1. None of the current miracle "new technology" climate solutions can come even close to globally scaling up enough in time (by 2025) to compensate for our significantly missing the 2025 global targets and triggering phase 2 runaway global warming with its many unavoiable consequences. (Phase 2 runaway global warming is generally considered irreversible for centuries to millenia.) 

2. Most have not yet been proven to work effectively (even at a small scale.)

3. All have not been adequately tested at a sufficiently large enough scale for unintended side effects. Any unknown and unintended side effects could create even greater problems than the problems they were designed to solve.

4. They are prohibitively costly. And,

5. Many burn so much fossil fuel trying to remove atmospheric carbon or geo-engineer the planet or atmosphere that their massive fossil fuel use eliminates their benefits. To implement the new technologies, massive amounts of energy will be needed to process the required raw materials and fabricate the solutions. To do this quickly, existing methods must provide the energy, which would further delay reaching global goals. And finally,

6. These miracle "new technologies" are falsely promising us that we can continue our lives of over-consuming, polluting, and burning fossil fuels as we are now. Nothing could be further from the truth!

Additionally, society is ignoring that we are reaching limits to the availability of many natural resources. To build these proposed new technologies, vital materials will be required in such tremendous amounts that routine social needs would be severely impacted.

There is a blind rush throwing massive amounts of government, corporate, and venture funding into these new technology climate solutions. Many of the proposed new technology solutions are already known to be horrendously dangerous from our nuclear and other experiences, i.e., Fukushima, Chornobyl, etc.) 

This rush to finance long-shot solutions tells us indirectly and rather conclusively that many wealthy individuals and corporations already know how extremely destructive climate change will get. Consequently, they will try anything to prevent it --- even if the solution turns out to be as bad or worse than the problem they are trying to solve.

Nobody wants to tell the world's people we have to discipline and sacrifice and cut our global fossil fuel use radically (which itself will have many horrible consequences, such as about half of humanity unavoidably still perishing before 2050). 

Still, at least we will be able to save much of the second half of humanity post-2050, but only if we radically reduce global fossil fuel use to get close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. (To learn more about the horrible political and climate science climate change dilemma concerning why when we cut global fossil fuel radically to meet the 2025 targets, about half of the world's population will still perish no matter if we make the required fossil fuel reductions, or we don't make them, click here to read about Garret's Climate Change Dilemma.) 

 

 

Possibly after 2050, some new technology will be tested, safe and deployable at scale and reasonable costs to contribute to restoring our climate stability. Click here to see the possible minor role that some well-tested and proven new technology solution might play decades from now.

If you are interested in more about the timeframes that humanity will experience climate-related and other global catastrophes, please review the timeframe illustrations on this page. 

If you are a science person, this link for Fact 10 will take you to documentation links and expanded information on why new technologies can not save us in time and everything our governments must do to save humanity's future. At this point only our governments acting in concert have the power to save the future.

IT IS ALMOST BEYOND THE TIME NEEDED TO ACT! This knowledge once widely shared will help illuminate the true urgency of our runaway global heating extinction emergency. Moreover, understanding the true urgency of the global heating emergency will eventually create the necessary public demand to get our politicians to begin a government-enforced global fossil fuel reduction plan that will work. 

The worst consequences runaway global heating extinction emergency will not be prevented or lessened unless:

In Summary

Help fix runaway global heating the greatest disruptor and threat multiplier of the 21st century or suffer its accelerating consequences and potentially perish!

Humanity and its ancestors thrived for almost 1,000,000 years when the historical and interglacial high atmospheric carbon levels remained within the carbon level range of carbon 270-280 parts per million (ppm.) 

Many decades ago, climate scientists warned us that when we crossed the atmospheric carbon level of 350 ppm, humanity would be unsafe from horrible consequences and even extinction, and if we did cross the carbon350 ppm level that we were on the way to runaway global warming. 

Measuring the most dangerous greenhouse gases of atmospheric carbon [CO2,] methane [C4,] and nitrous dioxide [N2O] are the best ways to measure the increasing threat level of increasing global heating and increased global heating consequences. Therefore, the three greenhouse gas measurements shown together on the graph below are also one of the very best ways to predict future global heating and future temperature levels. 

 

The higher the amounts of carbon [CO2,] methane [C4,] and nitrous dioxide [N2O] in the atmosphere, the higher our future global temperatures will be and, our future global heating consequeces will the more severe, more frequent and occur at larger and larger scale. (In the illustration above, on the left vertical axis are atmospheric measuring levels for both carbon and nitrous dioxide in parts per million [ppm.] On the right vertical axis, you see the measuring level for atmospheric methane in parts per billion [ppb.])

Measuring the above three most dangerous rising atmospheric pollutants from fossil fuels is an even better way to determine if we have or are making honest progress in:

1. lowering global fossil fuel use,

2. fixing the runaway global heating extinction emergency or,

3. if we are failing or being successful at either or both. 

The illustration above also shows what happened when humanity began the fossil fuel-powered industrial revolution in the late 1700s to early 1800s. (Look where the graph lines rise suddenly.) Across the bottom of the illustration is the last 2,000+ years. The red, blue, and black lines moving from left to right across the illustration tell the painful story of human history and the fossil fuel pollution of our vital atmosphere.

It is not difficult to see from the three greenhouse gas illustration above, that humanity is in deep, deep trouble.

One of the world's most respected NASA climate scientists, James Hansen, said that if the atmospheric CO2 level reached and stayed at only the carbon 385 ppm level and was allowed to sit there for many years, this 385 carbon level alone could kick off a climate tipping point and feedback loop and "stacking" (domino) effect. He warned that this tipping point "stacking effect" would lead to an unstoppable chain reaction to higher and higher temperatures (known as runaway global warming.) 

 

 

So here is our runaway global heating tough love. Humanity thrived successfully for millennia when atmospheric carbon was at the 270 to 280 ppm-level. We went over the climate cliff in 2015 when we hit carbon 386 ppm level and we entered the first beginning stage of runaway global heating.

Within the next 2-3 years, we will pass the carbon 425 ppm level. When we pass carbon 425 ppm we are already too deep into the beginning stage of the runaway global warming process.

Since we have passed the carbon 386 ppm in 2015, we have already triggered the climate tipping point and feedback loop stacking and falling domino effect. We already have activated the crossing of ever more climate tipping points and feedback loops that will keep raising global heating until we are motivate by sufficient catastrophe to finally get close to the required, radical, and painful 2025 reductions in our global fossil fuel use. 

As of April of 2022, we were at a terrifying atmospheric level of carbon of 420 parts per million (ppm.)

From the preceding, one can see that this carbon 420 level is far, far beyond any reasonable and safe atmospheric carbon level and far into the tipping point "stacking" and falling domino effects of runaway global warming. At the carbon 420 ppm level, our atmospheric carbon level is about 155% greater than the humanity-thriving atmospheric carbon level of 270 ppm.

How much higher does this percentage of atmospheric carbon have to rise beyond the last known safe level of carbon 350 ppm, before we collectively realize we are in a apidly approaching mass to near-total extinction grave danger? 

In many ways, from the climate facts above, it is not difficult to see that in this runaway global heating extinction emergency, humanity is racing at 80 miles an hour toward a steep cliff and a massive drop off. To make things worse, the fog on this fossil fuel abuse highway is so dense that one can barely see the road 10 feet ahead. Moreover, the map humanity is using does not show exactly where this dangerous climate cliff even is. And finally, no single "person" is driving the climate car racing toward the cliff. 

It only looks like someone is driving the car and managing the global heating emergency This "no real single driver" factor is because the IPCC and the UN has no verification, enforcement, or punishment authority over any nation of the United Nations and and current disagreements between the many UN nations on what is necessary to fix the runaway global heating issue. To make matters worse, many of those UN nations are entirely or primarily dependent on continuing to produce and sell vast amounts fossil fuels for their own ongoing survival.

From the above, one can see that allowing an atmospheric carbon level of 425-450 ppm ever to be reached is humanity playing with fire in a room full of gas fumes. Humanity is betting the house (in this case the near-total extinction of humanity) that nonexistent or insufficient greenhouse gas remedial or removal "new technologies" will somehow save them at the last minute.

No matter how you look at it, our governments have put us at a completely immoral and insane global risk level. We are already living far, far beyond the highest possible rational level of collective extinction risk. In fact, humanity is already extinction unsafe.

 

 

 

The good news is if we are very, very fortunate, we may have another 2 to 8 years before crossing over the survival-critical 425-450 ppm threshold and into the next even worse level of runaway global warming where global heating and the extinction emergency goes out of our control for centuries to millenia. 

Our governments are at the last warning and opportunity to act! 

Our governments have already squandered six decades of climate change and global heating warnings. Over the last six decades, ineffective global heating actions by our governments have now ensured we have and will cross critical climate tipping points causing that about half of humanity will perish by mid-century.

Our governments get us close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, or we face near-total extinction.

If our governments successfully act on the runaway global heating emergency, much more of humanity will survive. And, if not, few individuals would ever want to exist in the over-heated world we would leave them. 

Enjoy your life each day and the relative remaining climate stability while we still have it. Fixing our current climate nightmare is far from guaranteed. If we miss our last-chance opportunity to prevent near-total extinction, we can at least hope to slow the climate nightmare down so more people can survive longer and more comfortably. 

"The runaway global heating emergency extinction risk level is so high that it is comparable to our governments playing Russian roulette with a gun where every revolver chamber has a bullet in it, and every bullet is an extinction-accelerating tipping point or amplifying climate feedback loop." Lawrence Wollersheim

 

So, the only remaining questions are:

What will you do to save yourself, your loved ones and your business? 

How long before the actions causing global warming and climate change are recognized as serious crimes and prosecuted worldwide?

What will you do to push your local, regional and national governments to meet the survival-critical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets? And, 

How long before the largest fossil fuel polluters destroying the lives and stability of humanity will be prosecuted for their genocidal and biocidal crimes against humanity and all other life forms?

Your three Step Call to Realistic Hope and Action

Step 1: please help share the above critical climate facts with everyone who also needs to know about the runaway global heating extinction emergency.

It is beyond grossly unfair and utterly wrong that the older generations have left this unconscionable climate legacy for Generations X, Y, and Z. Please pass these climate facts to Generations X, Y, and Z so that they start making the needed adaptations to extend their lives as long as possible. Of course, the older generations will also be affected. Still, Generations X, Y, Z (and A) will bear the shortest lifespans, the worst suffering, the biggest financial losses, and the most deaths. 

 

 

Please share these critical climate change and runaway global heating facts everywhere, especially with other worldwide climate and environmental organization executives! Then, maybe they will finally start calling climate change what it is, a runaway global heating extinction emergency. Perhaps, they will finally get serious about forcing our governments to get as close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets so we might yet be able to prevent near-total extinction.

"No program that claims to have a solution to climate change and global heating can not be called legitimate unless it is designed and prioritized around knowing when a global heating-driven near-total extinction event will probably occur, how it will occur, and what must be done when to prevent that outcome. The Job One for Humanity four-part program relentlessly follows this critical priority path and deadline policy." Lawrence Wollersheim

Why does our independent climate change think tank provide the above and below uncensored climate information?

Because we firmly believe you:

1. Have a right to have the same climate change information quietly being given exclusively to the world's wealthiest individuals and corporations by their expensive and highly-secretive risk analysis firms. 
2. Have a legitimate and inalienable right to the same uncensored climate change life and death-related information that privileged individuals within the government, military, and intelligence agencies have been briefed on. 
3. Have the same right to have the same life-and-death advanced warnings about coming climate change catastrophes as those in privileged positions. 
4. Have the same right to prepare your loved ones for the many now unavoidable climate change consequences. You also have the same right to protect your assets, just as the wealthy, the military, and the politically privileged are quietly doing now. And you,
5. Have the right to be treated as a mature adult citizen who can (and has) successfully dealt with difficult news so that you have adequate time to respond and manage it.

Our climate change think tank is tired of seeing ordinary citizens, and the poor consistently suffer the greatest climate change-related losses and deaths. They suffer these losses and deaths significantly because they do not have the same access to uncensored climate change information that is first discreetly given to the privileged, wealthy, and high-level government members. Please keep reading if you believe that access to accurate, uncensored climate change information should be equally available to everyone.

Additional Helpful Climate Change Facts

1: Our governments have squandered six decades in delays and self-deception by not fixing our climate change and global heating emergency. In this expanded section below, you will discover the many reasons for our politicians' and governments' gross, dangerous, and immoral failure.

(In this expanded section and links for this issue, you will discover why the global fossil fuel reduction numbers are consistently grossly underestimated and the climate consequence prediction dates are consistently overestimated. This inaccurate information is provided to the world by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC.)

In addition to the decades of well-funded fossil fuel industry global disinformation and misinformation programs, our runaway global heating emergency has been made far more difficult to resolve because of the ongoing gross underestimation and politicization of climate science by the government-trusted Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change of the United Nations (the IPCC.) 

Yes, the physical cause of runaway global heating is indeed our global burning of fossil fuels. And yes, over the last six decades, the 28 trillion dollar-a-year fossil fuel industry and its lobbyists have subjected the world's politicians to the most potent disinformation and influence campaign in history. Their program was designed to prevent or limit regulations that would reduce global fossil fuel use. But, there is another government-supported organization that, because we have always trusted it and its climate summary reports, is also a dominant reason for our ongoing failures to mobilize the world to demand the end of fossil fuels. 

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is currently the most widely recognized and relied upon authority for climate change data. Every world government, major corporation, and NGO relies on these climate summary reports for planning their required fossil fuel reductions.

But there is a massive problem with the IPCC's climate summary reports. For decades, the IPCC has allowed its top administrators to underestimate, politicize and distort the underlying climate science and research of thousands of dedicated volunteer climate scientists.

This politicization of climate science has resulted in the public being given grossly underestimated climate change consequences, time frames, and required corrective actions. Furthermore, this gross underestimation has resulted in the general public being unaware of the seriousness and extreme urgency of the soon-arriving new levels of climate and global heating threat to their lives and businesses. 

But why would the IPCC's top administrators grossly underestimate the global heating threat and its remedies and do such a harmful thing to the future of humanity and the peoples of the world? 

The IPCC's top administrators did this because of the overwhelming:

a. political pressure from those corporations and nations with the most to gain by not reducing fossil fuel use, and

b. ongoing United Nations and IPCC funding denial threats from fossil fuel producing and fossil fuel-dependent countries.

The wealthiest fossil fuel producers, fossil fuel-dependent nations, and industries lobbied hard and long to "convince" these IPCC administrators they needed to "tone down" their climate facts to approve their "softer" climate summary reports. 

The political pressure to underestimate the climate problem and its solutions was orchestrated under the guise of toning down the climate facts in order not to create widespread public fear or panic. But, the real reason for the relentless political pressure on the IPCC's administrators to underestimate their climate summary reports was always to allow fossil fuel producers and fossil fuel-dependent nations and industries to continue doing "business as usual" and profiting. These nations and industries did not want an informed public to initiate a massive public outcry demanding the appropriate, huge, and immediate global fossil fuel reductions. 

Nothing would be worse for the worldwide fossil fuel empire than if the public knew just how dire, immediate, and deadly the climate and runaway global heating extinction emergency really was and how soon it would get far worse. 

Can you imagine what would happen if the worldwide general public understood what it meant to already be in an accelerating runaway global heating extinction emergency where about half of humanity unavoidably will be dead by mid-century? 

Why the IPCC's gross underestimation problem is important to you

1. If the world is grossly deceived about how bad the runaway global heating extinction emergency really is, it is unlikely the world will demand its governments and politicians make the needed changes to save humanity from it. 

2. The IPCC's gross underestimation issue presents an immense danger to the world's governments, intelligence agencies, national reserve banks, major corporations, media, risk assessment firms, hedge funds, investment bankers, and insurance companies. They run the world, and they all use the IPCC's grossly underestimated climate change and global heating summary reports for their future climate change planning and consequence strategies. This widespread use of this seriously unreliable climate prediction and remedial information means these entities and the rest of us are in for a massive and continuous series of painful and expensive climate change and global heating consequences, surprises, and shocks.

The IPCC has also organized or coordinated many international climate conferences. These climate conferences have produced scores of unenforceable and unverifiable international climate change reduction agreements. Unfortunately, these agreements have ALL failed to remove or even lessen the runaway global heating extinction threat.

The following graph shows the continuous failure of the IPCC and its climate conferences, as shown in the ever-rising carbon ppm amounts in the illustration below. 

 

 

If we are ever going to prevent or slow down the runaway global heating extinction emergency, we have to do something different. We will have to quickly:

1. get different, better qualified, and better-funded organizations to take over the IPCC climate science analysis and summary reporting responsibilities.

2. create some new form of global climate governance. This new global climate governance would also need to have the powers of enforcement and verification on all new international climate agreements.

Runaway global heating is a global problem. Therefore, its solution must also be globally enforceable. But, without a valid mechanism for global climate law-making, governance, and enforcement, each nation will fight for national advantage, stall the changes, or cheat on its fossil fuel reductions, so what's needed to fix runaway global heating never gets done.

The distorted and politicized IPCC climate summary reports have created a grossly false sense of climate safety and climate security in the general public. The general public still widely believes that climate change and global heating won't be that bad, its most harmful consequences are a long, long way off in the future, and they have no grasp of the soon-arriving, global heating-fueled processes of mass starvation and mass extinction. Most of the public has been lulled into climate inaction by the highly compromised IPCC.

As a good general IPCC climate information discounting operating principle... 

whenever you hear about an IPCC administrator-politicized climate change and global heating summary report, you would be wise to treat it as 20-40% worse than they are saying and arriving 20-40% sooner than they are saying. 

For example, the IPCC has said we could have as much as 6 feet of sea-level rise by 2100. However, using the fossil fuel industry interference discount, we are far more likely to get 7-8 feet sometime around 2070. 

Likewise, the IPCC has predicted a possible 1-2-foot sea-level rise by 2050, which actually means we will more likely experience three or more feet of sea-level rise by 2040. Many coastal communities think they can build massive sea walls and escape sea-level rise flooding. However, the previous IPCC sea-level estimates do not include the total sea level reaching their shores. (The IPCC sea-level rise estimates do not include those rare occurrences where the tidal surge from a major storm happens at the same time as the maximum tide phenomenon called a King tide, which often occurs around the full moon.)

2. The best informed worldwide insurance companies are aware of these coming climate change conditions and they are quickly raising their prices and adapting their policies to eliminate climate change's accelerating financial losses, especially in high-risk areas. 

Please see this new article for more about the avalanche of climate change-related insurance cancellations, denials, and soaring rates for homes, businesses, mortgages, and crop failure insurance.
