Overview

Unfortunately, the 10 most dangerous facts of global warming are the least understood by most of humanity. And, what we do not understand if left unmanaged will kill almost everything!

Introduction

This climate change and global warming current condition statement below is updated about two weeks or as new climate research and projections come in. It was last updated on 2.10.2022. 

It is critical that the information below gets to generations X, Y, and Z as soon as possible. This heads-up call to generation X, Y, and Z members is critical because they are the ones who will bear both the worst and the longest-suffering, financial loss, and death due to the climate change emergency.

The following is not meant to shock but to awaken those who do not know to the real, soon arriving, and catastrophic climate threats we ALL now face. We do not expect you to believe the ten facts blindly. Instead, we provided documentation links to the science and analysis to decide for yourself at the end of the article. 

The saddest thing about what you were about to read is that almost all of the climate consequences mentioned below were avoidable had we listened to our climate scientists who began warning us about what would happen 40 years ago.

The good news is that at the end of this article, we offer practical and effective action plans based upon your decisions and resources for what you can do to immediately protect yourself from the escalating climate change emergency.

And finally, the ten facts below are what most other climate change education and environmental organizations will not tell you. Once you understand them, you will be better prepared for what is happening in many places already or what will happen soon. 

A Quick Overview of the 10 Facts

The full explanation and documentation for each fact are further down in this article. 

The ten most important climate facts everyone should know are:

Fact 1: The United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the currently recognized world authority on climate change consequences, time frames, and remedial actions, has consistently politicized the climate science and grossly under-estimated the actual climate change consequences, time frames, and corrective actions. The most significant danger with this gross under-estimation is that the world's governments, intelligence agencies, national reserve banks, corporations, think tanks, risk assessment firms, hedge funds, investment bankers, and insurance companies all use the IPCC's grossly underestimated summary reports for their planning and strategies. This widespread use of seriously unreliable climate prediction information means they and the rest of us are in for a series of tremendous climate consequence shocks because of the many calculation problems with the IPCC's climate work.

Fact 2: We have squandered four decades of valid scientific climate warnings when we could have gradually and easily reduced our global fossil fuel use to avoid the current accelerating global climate emergency. The severity, frequency, and scale of climate change consequences occurring will soon start rising exponentially (in as little as 3-9 years.)

Fact 3: Our governments are only 3-9 years away (2025- 2031) from missing our last realistic chance to control our climate future and at least, slow down the extinction of about half of humanity by 2050.

Fact 4: Because we have squandered decades in no action or ineffective climate actions, it is already too late to prevent the extinction of about half of humanity by 2050.

Fact 5: To save some of us from total extinction in time, we need to immediately execute a government-driven and government-enforced mass mobilization to get close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets! If our governments get us close to the 2025 global targets, this will also, at least, slow down (but not stop) the extinction of about half of humanity by mid-century. 

Fact 6: Missing the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets by a lot means we go over the first of four climate change extinction-accelerating tipping points. Crossing this key first climate extinction enabling tipping point activates the immutable laws of climate physics towards a climate system meltdown of horrific climate consequences and our total extinction.

Fact 7: Only by getting close to the global 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets and also by managing our other 11 non-climate change global crises, will we give ourselves enough time to prevent the far worse total extinction of humanity from occurring beginning by about 2070. 

Fact 8: Our governments continue to grossly underestimate (or hide) the real accelerating consequences of climate change and their true timeframes.

Fact 9: We are so far behind where we need to be to reduce global fossil fuel use to get even close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets; wise individuals and businesses have already started their climate change emergency Plan B survival preparations. 

Fact 10: It is vital for every person and business to know the coming true climate consequence and timeframes. This way they can allow themselves adequate time to make the needed decisions about their lives, what they want to do, and to make the necessary emergency preparations and adaptations to mitigate the coming climate consequences.

Understanding the 10 most important facts about today's climate change emergency

We are not asking you to accept these ten disruptive facts blindly. Instead, we have provided links to their scientific documentation and analysis. Once you understand these ten climate facts, you will be better prepared for what is happening now and coming.

We also will not leave you stuck in this painful climate news without a solution and balancing positive perspectives. At the end of this article, you will find a link to a comprehensive four-part plan for what you can do to help slow down global warming and many of the other 11 major global crises we currently face. To further counterbalance these disruptive facts, you also will find a link to a long list of the many surprising benefits that you will experience as we work toward resolving this challenge and evolutionary opportunity.

Because psychologists say it is better to get the bad news out of the way before we give you the good news, here are ten facts expanded with details and doc

Fact 1: The United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the currently recognized world authority on climate change consequences, time frames, and remedial actions, has consistently politicized the climate science and grossly under-estimated the actual climate change consequences, time frames, and corrective actions. 

The most significant danger with this gross under-estimation is that the world's governments, intelligence agencies, national reserve banks, corporations, think tanks, risk assessment firms, hedge funds, investment bankers, and insurance companies all use the IPCC's grossly underestimated summary reports for their planning and strategies. This widespread use of seriously unreliable climate prediction information means they and the rest of us are in for a series of tremendous climate consequence shocks because of the many calculation problems with the IPCC's climate work.

In the links below you will learn precisely how the IPCC constructs and calculates its climate consequence risk scenarios, timetables, and recommended climate change remedies. Unfortunately, you also will discover that there are many, many very serious climate calculation and process problems going on within the IPCC. The additional problems below further call into question the current reliability or risk analysis usefulness for the IPCC's current consequence prediction scenarios, timeframes, and climate remedies.

In the links below, you will discover precisely why the IPCC's reports cannot be trusted. You will also learn why we need to have the world's largest intelligence agencies independently and immediately redo all of the IPPC climate calculation work by eliminating their gross underestimation, including missing climate factors, and removing or updating all other IPCC errors.

The immediate survival of humanity is at stake. We can no longer rely upon the IPPC's climate calculations to survive.

Fact 2: We have also squandered four valuable decades when we could have gradually and easily reduced our global fossil fuel use to avoid the current climate change catastrophe. 

Our governments have ignored more than 40 years of global warming warnings by our best climate scientists. Because we squandered those four decades, in order to save ourselves from the extinction of half of humanity by mid-century, global fossil fuel reductions today will have to be radical, painful, immediate to make up for decades of lost time.

Our governments ignoring repeated, valid scientific warnings is far from rare. For decades they repeatedly ignored the warnings by the world's best pandemic scientists. Despite many pandemic danger warnings, almost all of our governments were not still prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic, acted too slow at its onset and, it went out of control --- exactly as pandemic scientists predicted!

Our governments are grossly unprepared for the climate change-driven extinction emergency and its many primary and secondary consequences. In the illustration below you see just a few of only the primary climate change and global warming consequences we are facing!

Worse yet, our governments are only 3-9 years away (2025-2031) from missing our last realistic chance to reduce global fossil fuel use sufficiently to at least, slow down the die-off of half of humanity by 2050.

It is only by getting close to these 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets that we maintain any realistic control of our global warming futures. It is also the only way we can prevent the total extinction of humanity around or before 2070.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do at this point other than to slow down the die-off of half of humanity by mid-century. We have ignored and squandered the warnings of climate scientists for four decades! 

It is vital to know what the critical 2025 global fossil fuel use reductions require of us. The 2025 targets will require most developed nations to reduce their total global fossil fuel use by a shocking 75% by 2025. This 75% global fossil fuel reduction means that all developed countries (including China and India) must reduce all auto, train, shipping, airline, industrial, agricultural, and home uses of all fossil fuels by 75% by 2025 to meet the life-critical 2025 targets! 

These national fossil fuel reduction targets also mean that all citizens of those nations must reduce all auto, train, shipping, airline, industrial, agricultural, and home uses of all fossil fuels by 75% by 2025. Now you have a realistic idea of how challenging this reduction task is and how painful it will be to save the future for all of us. 

The illustration below will help you visualize how the die-off of half of humanity will unfold. Review the following global warming cascading meltdown illustration starting from the bottom up! Starting from the bottom, this illustration reflects the unfolding natural progression of ever-worsening and interacting consequences and tipping point processes that will occur as global warming continues to escalate pushing us toward our extinction.

For now just get a general idea of all the global warming consequences, tipping points, and human system factors that will be interacting and colliding as well as amplifying and multiplying each other as what we call the Climageddon extinction scenario unfolds in phases and waves. 

Review the following illustration from the bottom up beginning with the escalating heating of global warming!

The above illustration helps to illuminate how the consequences of climate change will affect everyone in its path In one way or another, directly or indirectly, as the above list of heat-driven global warming-related consequences will soon increase in severity, frequency, and scale, and climate change will go exponential as more climate tipping points are crossed.

A full sequenced and illustrated explanation of the science of why we have only 3-9 years left to act to prevent climate change extinction is found here.  

Full explanations of each tipping point and consequence are found in the next two links, the 11 key global warming tipping points and, here the 20 worst global warming consequences.

Click here to see full details and the year-by-year 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. Also, please keep in mind that, if we fail to come close to these 2025 targets, it will take centuries to millennia for the planet to recover.

The bad news here is that because we are crossing key climate tipping points the severity, frequency, and scale of global warming consequences occurring will soon start rising exponentially.

Many of the primary and secondary consequences of global warming will soon stop rising gradually and linearly as they are occurring now! As global warming continues we will cross many more of the 11 key climate tipping points.

As we cross more climate tipping points, global warming consequences will not continue to gradually increase in frequency, severity, and scale. Many of the global warming consequences will soon start growing exponentially, (Within the next 3-9 years from 2025-2031.)

In the graph below, the red line is an example of a linear, somewhat steady, predictable, and gradual global warming consequence growth trajectory. (Linear progression equals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc.) The green line below is an example of a sudden, exponential, and highly unpredictable global warming consequence growth trajectory. (Exponential progression equals 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 264, etc.)

The sudden green line exponential growth in the severity, frequency, and scale of global warming-related or triggered consequences will also eventually produce a sudden and abrupt massive global collapse that will be all but impossible to recover from for most nations. (When we use the terms sudden and abrupt, we are speaking in geological timeframes where 3-5 decades is barely a blink of the eye.)

Please review the following atmospheric carbon (C02) illustration. In January of 2022, we are at carbon 419 parts per million (ppm).

More carbon going into the atmosphere is the best way to tell if we are making progress on global fossil fuel reduction. Additionally, global temperatures will continue to rise because more atmospheric carbon equals more heat.)

Never forget that the most dangerous exponential growth of global warming consequences will begin within the next 3-9 years (about 2025-2031.) This exponential transition corresponds to when we cross the atmospheric carbon 425-450 parts per million (ppm) tipping point threshold level. Unfortunately, the exponential growth in global warming consequences will continue worsening after we cross the carbon 425 to 450 ppm threshold level as well! 

This exponential growth in the severity, frequency, and scale of global warming consequences also means that few, if any, NGOs, corporations, or governments will ever be able to either manage or recover from these accelerating consequences for long. Exponential consequence growth also means that unless you have made your emergency preparations long before these consequences begin rising exponentially, you won't have enough time to do so later. 

This rising danger of getting caught unprepared exists because our social, economic, and political systems also will become exponentially more unpredictable, unstable, and chaotic. This multi-system instability will happen sometime after global warming consequences enter their exponential curves (the green line above.) 

If you have not prepared for exponentially rising global warming consequence growth long before it is needed (2025-2031), you will find yourself in a living hell! (Our Plan B for Climate Change Resilience will provide many ideas on how to get well-prepared for what is coming and what is now unavoidable because of climate system momentum, human system inertia, and crossed climate tipping points. Unfortunately, getting correctly prepared will take most people and organizations about 2-5 years!)

Fact 4: Because we have squandered decades in ineffective or no climate action, we are now it is too late to prevent the extinction of half of humanity by 2050 and we are already in a state of runaway global warming. But, we still can prevent our total extinction. Isn't that worth striving for?

Runaway global warming means that global warming will increase on a runaway course. Runaway global warming occurs because we have crossed critical global warming tipping points. Imagine a train going down a hill with no functional brakes, and you have a good concept of it! However, the scariest thing about runaway global warming is that it will continue, of, and by and of itself with no practical and proven ways to slow, stop or control it. 

In runaway global warming, the average global temperature will continue to get warmer and warmer. This unstoppable temperature rise will be due to our crossing additional climate tipping points (like those in the illustration below) and many other climate factors.

It is now far too late for individual actions alone to stop runaway global warming and achieve the 2025 global fossil fuel reductions needed to save us from accelerating global warming-driven catastrophe and the die-off of half of humanity by mid-century. At this 11th hour, only a worldwide government-driven mass mobilization (similar in scope to the mass mobilization that occurred before World War II) can save us from total extinction. 

We have already crossed critical climate tipping points. We can no longer prevent the extinction of about half of humanity by 2050. Once we increase the average global temperature by four degrees Celcius, adapting to global warming consequences is no longer possible!

See Part 3 of our Job One for Humanity Plan will show you how our governments can complete the required mass mobilization and the now required levels of global fossil fuel reduction to save us.

Click here to discover all of the details on how we have created our own runaway global warming dilemma and this climate nightmare. 

Fact 5: To save some of us from total extinction in time, we need to immediately execute a government-driven and government-enforced mass mobilization to get close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets! 

If our governments get us close to the 2025 global targets, this will also, at least, slow down (but not stop) the extinction of about half of humanity by mid-century. 

Here is what our governments must do immediately to slow down mass extinction and prevent total extinction!

Here is what we will likely have to do to get our governments to finally act.

Fact 6: Missing the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets by a lot means we go over the first of four climate change extinction-accelerating tipping points. 

Crossing this key first climate extinction enabling tipping point activates the immutable laws of climate physics towards a climate system meltdown of horrific climate consequences and our total extinction. Going over this first critical tipping point will also quickly trigger crossing even worse additional global warming extinction-accelerating tipping points faster and faster. 

If we fail to come close to the 2025 targets, it will produce accelerating temperatures, drought, rain bombs, flooding, and global warming's many other consequences and forms of extreme weather. If we cross this first extinction-evoking tipping point, we will not be able to prevent the widespread collapse of global agriculture. If we allow global agriculture's widespread failure, the human population will quickly starve, and today's population will soon collapse.

The above is not even the worse consequence of missing the 2025 targets by a lot. If we do not get very close to these 2025 targets, the end result of runaway global warming will eventually render our beautiful Planet Earth completely uninhabitable for our species and many others! 

The good news about going over the first extinction-triggering tipping point is that can only happen if we significantly miss the 2025 global reduction targets. If that happens, we cannot stop ourselves from going over the first extinction-evoking global warming tipping point.

If that happens, we will then soon cross the two other extinction-accelerating global warming tipping points!

(Click here to read about how and when these additional critical extinction-accelerating tipping points will unfold over the next few decades.) 

(See this critical page for the detailed sequence of the unfolding primary and secondary global warming consequences.)

Fact 7: Only by getting close to the global 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets and also by managing our other 11 non-climate change global crises, will we give ourselves enough time to prevent the far worse total extinction of humanity from occurring beginning by about 2070. 

If you still think that either the extinction of half of humanity by mid-century or humanity's total extinction beginning around 2070 is overstated, please read this page first.

Then read this page, and then next please see this recent scientific summary by respected climate scientists.

Here are the 11 other global crises we also MUST manage better while we push to reach the 2025 targets. 

Fact 8: Our governments continue to grossly underestimate or hide the real and accelerating consequences and timeframes of climate change.

Our governments are currently seeking to pacify us with false or ineffective but hopeful-sounding global warming solutions. Here is how they do this:

a. They intentionally underestimate how bad global warming will get to keep the public pacified about this growing emergency (Click here to see this history of underestimation.)

b. They hide how soon global warming will worsen exponentially (click here to see when global warming consequences will go from rising gradually (and linearly) to rising exponentially!)

c. Whenever you hear national politicians promise carbon net-zero by 2030, 2040, 2050, 2060, or 2070, know that it too equals mass human extinction occurring over the next several decades. 

Once one realizes that net-zero carbon programs have more holes in them than swiss cheese, and they will not save us from extinction in time, they are ready to discover what will save us in time. So here are the honest and correct 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets which are critically needed to save us from the die-off of half of humanity by mid-century. 

The world's governments have grossly under-estimated the above three areas because in part, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of the United Nations has cleverly "falsified" global fossil fuel reduction calculations. These "falsified" fossil fuel reduction target calculations also contribute to the accuracy of global warming consequence timetables and predictions.

These global fossil fuel reduction target calculations are vitally important because the IPCC is the treated as world's leading research authority on global warming. All governments rely upon their reduction calculations for their nation's part of the global fossil fuel use reduction targets. Unfortunately, because of this IPCC "falsification" of the needed global fossil fuel reduction calculations, the world now falsely believes it is somewhat close to its needed reduction targets and will be safe for decades to come. Nothing could be farther from the truth! 

Because of delays in managing global warming honestly, the world is now facing an accelerating extinction emergency. We must now make drastic global fossil fuel reductions before the end of 2025 or, we can't stop ourselves from going over our last chance, extinction-triggering tipping point. Unfortunately, because of many decades of IPCC consequence under-estimation and "falsified" reduction calculations, many global warming consequences are also now unavoidable!

Fact 9: We are so far behind where we need to be to reduce global fossil fuel use to get even close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets; wise individuals and businesses have already started their climate change emergency Plan B survival preparations. 

In addition to our accelerating global warming emergency, we have also failed miserably to manage most of these other 11 critical global challenges to our severe detriment. The amplifying, accelerating, and interacting of these 12 major global crises with each other will soon begin causing a widespread accelerated or abrupt collapse of the critical food production, economic, ecological, and social systems first in weaker nations, but eventually even in the strongest. 

Below, you see the complete and utter failure of the IPCC and our governments in doing anything effective to reduce global fossil fuel-related greenhouse gases, which has caused our accelerating global warming, particularly over the last 40 years. The graph below shows the 3 most dangerous greenhouse gasses in atmospheric parts per billion (ppb).

Now is the time for wise individuals and businesses also to create their own Plan B emergency backup survival plans. Plan B is simply an emergency preparation, adaptation, and survival plan. It might even include migration or relocation to safer areas away from the worst of accelerating global warming and the worsening 11 other major global threats. 

It is no longer reasonable to rely solely upon our limited-resourced governments to save you, your family, or your business from the rapidly accelerating global warming extinction emergency interacting with our 11 other major global crises. With your Plan B firmly in place, you can keep working with all the rest of us to help slow down global warming and achieve the best remaining possible outcomes after you have prepared your family and business for its worst outcomes and soon-arriving unavoidable consequences. And, if we eventually do get through this extinction emergency, you will have preserved your future opportunity to create a better life from the painful lessons you and all of us will be learning.

Click here to see the Job One for Humanity Plan B. Plan B also includes saving and salvaging as half of our global civilization as we can for as long as we can so; it will be there for us in the post-collapse future.)

(Click here to see the many best possible remaining positive outcomes if our governments mass mobilize and act in time.)

Fact 10: Critical timeframes for getting global warming catastrophe prepared. Depending on your current location, you should still have time left to prepare for and adapt to the myriad of now unavoidable global warming-related primary and secondary consequences. To help you determine how much time you have to prepare, adapt, or relocate, we have provided the global warming and interrelated global crisis timetable below. 

Keep in mind that this timetable significantly depends on your current 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 pushing our governments to radically reduce global fossil fuel use so that some of humanity will be able to survive mass extinction or near-total extinction even though the current odds are terrible.

In general, the higher global warming risk areas will be between the 45th parallel north and the 45th parallel south. The highest risks will be between the 30th parallel north and the 30th parallel south.

Most global warming consequence-related deaths will occur within the poor and undeveloped countries between the 40th parallel north and the 4Oth parallel south. In the image below, the red line marks the 40th parallel north. The yellow line marks the 40th parallel south.

Before you review the deadlines below, read about the many severe consequences of the Thwaites "doomsday glacier." If you are located near a coastal area, the consequences of the collapse of this one glacier (estimated to occur about 2025-2028) can significantly alter the timeframes listed below. However, even if you do not live on a coast, click the following link Thwaites "doomsday glacier" to read about the next global climate catastrophe because it will affect your future survival plans. 

Critical survival deadlines:

a. The 5-year deadline: (From now until the end of 2025.) At this time, it is appropriate to admit it is all but impossible for us to fully meet the total 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets! But, we still do have enough time left to slow down (but not avoid) a mid-century extinction event for about half of humanity by getting close to them. Thus, although we have passed the point of avoiding the die-off of about half of humanity, we still can maintain some level of control of our global warming future. And most importantly, we can still prevent total extinction by getting very close to the 2025 targets! 

This total extinction danger also means we have to educate the world about the extinction-evoking global warming tipping point deadlines after preparing our survival provisions and after creating safe and sustainable community cooperatives or sanctuaries. (See this Plan B emergency plan page, which discusses how to prepare in the safest locations and what are the least safe places to ride out the global warming extinction emergency.)

b. The 5-10-year deadline: (This assumes we will miss the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets and did not get close to them.) From 2020 to 2027, global warming consequences will steadily worsen in a rising but steeper linear progression. More people will wisely migrate to safer areas. Millions will die because of climate-related food shortages and other global warming-related catastrophes. 

If you have prepared, adapted, and if applicable, are in a global warming safer location before 2027, and you have a good Plan B in place, depending upon your location, relative stability and security for family and business are probable until about 2030 to 2040. (See this Plan B emergency plan page, which discusses how to prepare in the safest locations and what are the least safe places to ride out the global warming extinction emergency.)

c. The 10-15 year deadline: (This assumes we will miss the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, and we did not get close to the 2025 targets.) After 2030-2035 many other climate, human, ecological, political, and economic tipping points will be crossed due to accelerating global warming consequences and global warming amplifying the consequences of most of these 11 other critical global challenges. 

The stability and security of even the safest and best prepared global warming safer locations will lessen and become increasingly challenging. Those individuals in supportive cooperatives or sustainable communities should be significantly safer and better adapted than those who are not. (See this Plan B emergency plan page, which discusses how to prepare in the safest locations and what are the least safe places to ride out the global warming extinction emergency.)

d. The 15-25 year deadline: (This assumes we will miss the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, and we did not get close to meeting these targets.) Beginning around 2030, the frequency, severity, and size of the 20 worst global warming consequences will move from a steeply rising linear progression into an exponential progression. As a result, stability and security for even the best prepared, safer global warming locations, cooperatives, and sustainable communities will become far more complex and dangerous. (See this Plan B emergency plan page, which discusses how to prepare in the safest locations and what are the least safe places to ride out the global warming extinction emergency.)

e. The 25-30-year deadline: (This assumes we will miss the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, and at least, we got close to them or compensated for these targets somewhere over this period.) By mid-century, extinction for half of humanity will still be unavoidable. From 2030-2050 will be the riskiest period to survive for much to most of society. Generally, things will be better in safer global warming locations, special cooperatives, and sustainable communities. But even there, survival is far from guaranteed without the highest preparation, adaptation, and cooperation levels. (See this Plan B emergency plan page, which discusses how to prepare in the safest locations and what are the least safe places to ride out the global warming extinction emergency.)

f. The 50-year deadline: (This assumes we will miss the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, and unfortunately, we did not even get close to them.) In this case, we will face the worst consequences of runaway global warming. We will be heading toward the beginning of the runaway greenhouse gas effect, which ripped the atmosphere off Venus. Because of this escalating runaway global warming reality and not getting close to the 2025 reduction targets, humanity will, unfortunately, finally face a total extinction event beginning as soon as 2070-2100. We call this the Climageddon Scenario.

At this dangerous juncture in the evolution of humanity, it is also wholly appropriate to feel fear because of the many known consequences of accelerating global warming and the worsening of these 11 other global crises. While generalized fear or panic often paralyzes, there are positive evolutionary reasons for fear's emotion. The positive use of fear exists for those rare times when there are REAL threats to your survival. Positive fear mobilizes the observant and wise to act before it is too late! 

So, here is some good timeline news. If we at least get close to the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets, we can still prevent total human extinction. If we do not, we begin crossing too many additional extinction-triggering tipping points. This happens far too fast to prevent the worst consequences of runaway global warming multiplying the worsening effects of the other 11 major global crises. (Highly relevant additional emergency preparation, adaptation, and other location/relocation safety and risk level information useful for wisely using the timetable above begins on this page.)

One Last Mini-Fact: The Common False Belief that New Carbon Removal Technology Will Save Us Just in Time 

Many people falsely believe that geoengineering, carbon capture, or some other new miracle technology will ride in like a knight on a white horse at the last minute to save humanity from the natural consequences of its previous bad climate decisions, actions, inactions, and mistakes. 

(Click here to read about why this fairy tale carbon capture technology is not going to happen or will be "too little too late" to save us.)

(Click here to read how challenging it will be to reach the 2025 fossil fuel reduction targets.)

The Ten Facts Summary:

1. The IPCC has deceived our governments about the true global fossil fuel reduction targets and how bad and fast global warming catastrophe and mass extinction are coming.

2. Our governments are failing horribly in achieving the real 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. This will push the world over critical global warming extinction-triggering tipping points and bring about the unavoidable extinction of half of humanity and widespread social collapse by mid-century.

3. The battle to prevent the extinction of about half of humanity by mid-century is over. The fight to prevent total extinction has begun. It is now the last chance for our governments to mass mobilize and act together with the correct actions to prevent global social collapse and humanity's total extinction. Our governments have only another 3-9 years (2025-2031 to get climate change under control or we all go extinct!

4. While we try to get our governments to mass mobilize and come close to the 2025 targets, it IS also time for individuals and businesses to execute their emergency Plan B. Plan B consists of preparing for and adapting to the soon-arriving climate mega-catastrophes, widespread social collapse, and the inevitable mass extinction of half of humanity by mid-century. (To see precisely how widespread social collapse will occur due to the accelerating climate change emergency, please read the secondary consequences on this page.)

5. The comprehensive Job One Climate Resilience Plan offers honest, reality-based hope for surviving and thriving throughout the uncertain future. It covers:

a. the real 2025 fossil fuel targets, 

b. the correct actions our governments need to do slow down mass extinction and prevent total extinction,

c. how to get our governments in action to save us in time and 

d. what we as individuals, businesses, and governments must do to have the proper emergency backup and adaptation Plan B in place to ride out what is coming. 

6. The Job One for Humanity Plan 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 extinction and a highly probable total extinction event, it is best to use your remaining time and energy wisely. This wise use of remaining time and energy would include:

a.) making your remaining time as fulfilling, meaningful, and comfortable as possible for as long as you can (Parts 1 and 2 of the Job One Plan.)

b.) doing everything within your power to save and salvage whatever you can of humanity and civilization for as long as you can instead of doing nothing and losing everything! (Parts 3 and 4 of the Job One Plan.)

7. Based on the information on this page, website, and the fact that the 26th climate conference (the Glasgow COP26 climate conference) has also failed, it is more than reasonable to believe that we have now entered into the era of Mutually Assured Climate Extinction (aka MACE). (There have been 25 previous failed climate conferences held over the last few decades.)

8. Even if you still do not believe that a climate-driven mass or total extinction is real or possible, no rational person would ever want to live through what is coming. The horror, suffering, financial loss, trauma, and death that will continue to grow as global warming and climate change accelerate will be unbearable! 

Click here to see all the details of the suffering, loss, and trauma that awaits ALL of us unless we get our governments to enforce the survival-critical 2025 global fossil fuel targets.

Unfortunately, to delay the required painful global fossil fuel reductions to save us from total extinction, our governments and politicians will continue to deny the above facts under the guise of preventing public panic. At this time, too many governments and environmental groups have been compromised by the money and influence of fossil fuel-producing nations, fossil fuel-related industries, and their lobbyists. 

To keep the public calm and ignorant of the imminent extinction dangers described above, it is very likely our governments will continue to issue false or misleading global warming reduction progress reports. Our governments will likely seek to distract us with false hope solutions like the many existing and illusionary carbon capture and new geoengineering schemes.

For humanity to survive and thrive, we must go where science and the facts lead us and face the cold and bitter reality of the real threat of our current extinction emergency. We must continue to speak truth to power no matter how uncomfortable those facts might be. 

The above ten facts about our global warming future are well known within the appropriate intelligence agency departments and by selected political leaders within most developed nations. Moreover, those informed individuals are already preparing themselves, their families and secretly instituting the necessary governmental preparation and control projects to deal with these future extinction-level threats. 

At Job One, we feel that ordinary people worldwide also have the absolute right to have this critical information. Having it, they too can prepare in advance for what is coming. They, too, can readjust and appreciate their lives while relative stability still exists. They, too, have the right to find meaning and enjoyment in the diverse relationships of their remaining lives.

The Single Most Important Summary Fact for Your and Your Family's Survival

Our failed Plan A for climate change was having our governments try to gradually reduce global fossil fuel use over the last 40 years. If we were even remotely successful with Plan A, the planet would not be rapidly overheating, we would not be on the edge of an unavoidable extinction of about half of humanity by mid-century We also would not be staring down the high probability of total human extinction by as soon as 2070 or sooner.

Unfortunately, the history of our 40-year Plan A was a complete failure. In fact, it did not even come close to occurring for the 28+ reasons listed on this page. Accordingly, it is now long past the time for wise individuals, businesses, and nations to begin an effective emergency backup and adaptation Plan B before it is too late to slow down what we can no longer avoid! Click here to start your personal Plan B!

What we can still control

Because global warming is already in a runaway state and primarily out of our control, it is good to be clear about the two things that we can still control:

1. We can slow down some unavoidable global warming consequences by getting our governments to immediately execute Part 3 of the Job One Climate and Global Crises Resilience Plan. 

2. We can prepare to survive accelerating climate change consequences for as long and as comfortably as possible. At the same time, we can hope that this crisis does not turn into total extinction and that our wise preparation helps us make it through the now unavoidable death of half of humanity by mid-century. See Part 1 and Part 2 of the Job One Plan here.

The essential positive perspectives on the above disruptive climate change news

Despite the many types of unavoidable challenging global warming consequences and past fossil fuel reduction mistakes that we now face, we can still learn from their feedback, and we can adapt and evolve to make life as good and as happy as is possible. No matter how severe the coming global warming consequences might become, if we wisely play the remaining cards that we have been dealt with, we can still achieve the best remaining possible outcomes. 

We can make a significant difference in reducing 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 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 greater than) long-term benefits beyond the coming suffering and loss.

On this page that has been read almost 2 million times and then this other critical global warming benefit page, you will find the many often hidden surprise benefits of global warming. You also will find a framework for what could be called a post-collapse Great Rebirth, no matter how bad the collapse process gets.

We can persevere through this temporary time of emergency. To do so, we need to remember that our greatest challenges are also the seeds of our greatest evolutionary opportunities. We can also never forget that we are engaged in nothing less than the most critical and meaningful evolutionary challenge, opportunity, and adventure in human history! 

This is our last opportunity to slow down the accelerating mass human extinction threat by getting close to these 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. 

Only by reaching these targets will we be able to remove the even worse threat of total extinction. 

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.)

So, get started on the Job One for Humanity Survive and Thrive plan today. Help save and salvage much of humanity and our beautiful civilization as is possible.

If you are either curious or need some extra motivation to get into action, we then strongly recommend also reading this popular page. It describes the above major consequences unfolding in a detailed step-by-step process as well as the complete scope and breadth of the extinction emergency that we are all now facing on many consequence fronts. 

A quick summary of all of the above

There is just one immediate fact to know and focus upon concerning our climate change and global warming future. If we get this one right, most of the other problems will take care of themselves.

If our world governments do not immediately execute a mass mobilization of the necessary resources to come close to reducing global fossil fuel use by 75% by 2025, half of humanity will be dead by mid-century and if we miss those targets by too much, humanity faces the beginnings of total extinction in the second half of the 21st century or sooner. 

That is all you really need to remember and focus on. If you do not believe what we have said above is accurate, click here to see precisely how this global warming nightmare will unfold.
