Prologue
Our accelerating climate change and global heating (also known as global warming) emergency is what energizes climate marchers, climate protestors, climate conference attendees, and climate summit participants to keep going, no matter what the odds.
We ask that you read the following and form your own opinion after verifying the facts presented below. At the bottom of this page is a link to effective global warming and climate emergency solutions.)
At the end of this article, to counterbalance these highly disruptive global warming facts, you will find a link to a comprehensive four-part plan outlining actions you can take to help manage the climate change emergency. You will also find a link to the many surprising and significant benefits that you and humanity will gain as we resolve the global warming challenge, an opportunity, and an adventure. We must not forget “that our greatest challenges are also our greatest opportunities.”
Although our website highlights the difficult news about our current climate change condition, please do not think that we have given up hope on this challenging task, or that there are few benefits to be gained when we address climate change. When you’re done reading this page, be sure to read the following link first, then proceed to the next link, which will help you maintain the realistic hope and balance we will all need to navigate the climate challenge together. (The second article has been read by several million people.)
Introduction:
We are unfortunately facing a mass to total extinction event within our lifetimes (the next 30-50 years). It is being caused by the many escalating consequences of the global warming and climate change emergency. The following will help you understand the definition of the climate change emergency and why it is real, even though you have likely heard little to nothing about this from our media or governments.
In the following article, you will discover many facts about how fast global warming is escalating and how it has become the climate change emergency in which we now find ourselves.
To help you process the following uncomfortable news, we have also included some great news at the end of this article. You will find a capable, self-directed plan for what you can do now to resolve the global warming and climate emergency while we still have the time to do so.
If you do not understand the basics of global warming or how it works, we strongly advise you to click here first to view illustrations of global warming basics and then proceed with the rest of this document.
Quick Climate Change and Global Heating Emergency Overview:
Life on Earth has flourished best when atmospheric carbon levels were in a range of 200-270 ppm ( this is what they were in the pre-industrial age).
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has failed to properly educate global leaders and has significantly underestimated timetables, which in turn has dangerously diminished awareness of the real climate change emergency we are in.
The battle to keep global warming below 2° Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) has already been lost.
Carbon parts per million (ppm) in the atmosphere will likely rise beyond the 550 ppm total, which translates to a 3° to 4 ° Celsius increase (5.4° to 7.2 ° Fahrenheit) in average global temperature. This level of temperature increase would create a “Hell on Earth.”
A 6 °C (10.8°F) increase at 600 ppm is also a realistic projection, and it will occur long before 2100 if we do not radically cut global fossil fuel use immediately to these levels. (Click here to discover the details concerning what soon crossing the carbon 500 and carbon 600 ppm will mean to your survival.)
When we resolve the climate change emergency, numerous benefits will be realized. We will also create a new and green Third Industrial Revolution. This will, directly and indirectly, create millions of new green energy-related jobs worldwide, replacing millions of lost fossil fuel industry-related jobs.
Welcome to a not-so-happy summary of the global heating and climate change emergency…
On the following pages, you will discover the uncomfortable facts and science that define what the climate change emergency is and how rapidly global warming is actually escalating. You will also discover the many additional reasons why we are now in an undeclared but climate change extinction emergency.
While reading this candid briefing, keep in mind that if we act wisely, together, and with urgency, we can still mitigate the catastrophic consequences of global warming that are unfolding. But, before we can wisely survive global warming, it is necessary to honestly face exactly the facts on where we are starting from.
