This quick overview will provide a current, accurate climate change consequence risk forecast and, more importantly, the highly probable time frames for these consequences and risks. It is from an independent, 100% publicly funded, not-for-profit climate change think tank.
This information is critical for planning individual and family lives or ongoing business operations.
This overview is designed to make the crucial climate change facts easier to grasp for those individuals who don’t need to know how or why accelerating climate change happened, or all the detailed science behind each of the facts below. This information is being provided to the public without charge because the public has the same right to access critical climate change risk assessment information as the privileged billionaires, top executives of the multinational mega-corporations, and the political elite, who pays of thousands of dollars for this information yearly, and who are discretely building survival bunkers and planning how they will save their loved ones and wealth from the accelerating climate change nightmare while the rest of us are kept in the dark about this closely held “insider climate emergency information.”
Brace yourself for a sudden drop into the cold waters of a highly accurate climate change risk analysis.
While we have tried to present this challenging climate change analysis of our current emergency in the most balanced way possible, it will still be upsetting for individuals who have not been exposed to it. Climate researchers who have previewed this new overview have praised its accuracy.
As you read this overview, stay as calm as possible and try to adopt the wisdom of the following statement.
“Denial is what you add to a problem to make it cost more, hurt more, and last longer.” Errol Strieder
Here are the seven most critical facts concerning our current climate change condition:
1. For over 60 years, your governments and the popular media have deceived you about how bad the climate change crisis is going to get. On average, the real severity and timeframes of the coming climate change consequences have been underestimated by about 30 to 60%.
Most environmental and climate change educational groups have unintentionally deceived you. They have been systematically deceived by underestimated, manipulated, or falsified climate change data released by our governments and the United Nations to maintain public calm.
You are being kept ignorant of the real dangers of accelerating climate change because there is tremendous political and private profit in doing so — at least 30 trillion dollars a year alone in global fossil fuel cartel profits. You are also being kept ignorant about the actual climate change dangers because our governments are terrified of how the public will react if they find out how bad they have continually mismanaged this crisis and how bad the climate change future will be for their families and their businesses.
(Don’t believe you have been deceived? In the main article below and in this critical link, you will discover eight ways you have been deceived about climate change consequences and timetables. You can learn how you have been continuously, systematically, and intentionally deceived for many decades by the United Nations, our governments, and our media.)
2. Enabled by the 30 trillion dollar-a-year global fossil fuel cartel’s disinformation and lobbying campaigns, our governments and the press have completely and utterly failed to reduce accelerating global warming and climate change for over 60 years. PLAN A to reduce global fossil fuel use and climate change is a complete failure, as illustrated in the graph below.
(The billions of dollars spent on the global fossil fuel cartel’s global disinformation, lobbying, and other immoral actions are explained fully in this link.)
3. Our government’s non-management of the climate change emergency has cost us six decades when we still could have gradually fixed climate change. This decades-long total government failure has severe consequences.
From now until about 2031, humanity will experience a dramatic increase in the severity, frequency, and size of climate change consequences like it has NEVER seen before! This dramatic increase in climate change consequences is due to crossing more climate change tipping points, more triggered feedback loops, and the cumulative global warming effects of pumping 2.3 trillion tons of toxic fossil fuel pollution into the atmosphere from the greenhouse gases of carbon (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (NO2) since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. (Methane concentrations have more than doubled, and nitrous oxide concentrations have risen by approximately 20% since the Industrial Revolution.)
We all will now suffer the consequences of 60 years of shameless failure by our fossil fuel-compromised governments to manage climate change and the cumulative and synergetic effects of 150 years of toxic pollution of our atmosphere by 2.3 trillion tons of greenhouse gases. (See graph above.)
4. From now until 2031, the severity, frequency, and size of these climate change consequences will increase dramatically for the same reasons described above in #3. New forecasts predict we could reach an average global temperature of 2° Celsius above preindustrial levels as early as 2030. This is far from what you’re hearing in the fossil fuel cartel-controlled media, which continually repeats the climate change delusion that humanity will not reach a 2°C increase until about 2100.
After 2031, the severity, frequency, and size of climate change consequences increase exponentially!
5. Between the atmospheric carbon level of 425 parts per million (ppm) and 450 ppm, we will enter into Phase 2 of irreversible, runaway global warming. As of February 2025, we were at the shocking carbon 427 ppm level.
Irreversible runaway global warming means that global warming is out of our control and irreversible for centuries to thousands of years. Think of irreversible runaway global warming as a train racing down a winding mountain with no brakes, going faster and faster.
6. The worst consequence of the fossil fuel cartel-stolen six decades, is the crossing of more tipping points, feedback loops, and the cumulative effects of pumping 2.3 trillion tons of toxic greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and that we will experience an unavoidable massive die-off with as much as half of humanity dying by about 2050.
After 2050, unprepared survivors will face near-unbearable hardships until the climate is restored to the previous balance that had supported the flourishing of humanity for 10,000 years. (For those of you who do not understand how this massive die-off is even possible, here is a detailed article that will fully explain, consequence by consequence, the dozens of layered and interconnected climate consequences that make this massive human die-off all but inevitable.)
7. Because Plan A has failed and we also are losing the worldwide climate change battle at a faster pace than over the last 60 years, it is now imperative that both individuals and businesses immediately begin their PLAN B climate change-related emergency preparations, adaptations, and climate change resilience-building, (or in some cases, start migrating, relocating, and executing what is being called by politicians a “Managed Retreat.”) This way, regular citizens and businesses will have nearly the same chance to survive what is coming as the privileged ultra-wealthy billionaires, top executives of the multinational mega-corporations, and the political elite.
Current credible die-off forcasts are that 2 billion people will die when the average global temperature rises to 2°C above preindustrial levels. We are currently somewhere between 1.6 and 1.7 °C above preindustrial levels. Accurate climate change forecasts always require the following to be calculated into the forecasts:
a. all climate change factors like tipping points and feedback loops,
b. compensation for past climate sensitivity errors and the 7 other major errors (described here), and
c. the cumulative and synergetic effects of all the 2.3 trillion tons of toxic greenhouse gases pumped into the atmosphere since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
Including ALL climate change factors in the forecasts will show our average global temperature will rapidly move to 2°C above pre-industrial levels. Unfortunately, this will occur sometime between 2035 and 2045, not 2100, as your governments, the media, and the United Nations are saying to keep you calm and ignorant of the real risks.
The most fundamental, accurate message for the world today about our inability to “fix” climate change and secure our climate change future is:
“Unavoidable and accelerating climate change consequences have reached a level where it is already too late to save about half of humanity from dying by about 2050. Immediate and aggressive government action is now mandatory as a part of PLAN B to reach the radical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets to save the rest of humanity surviving after 2050, or there will be as little as 15 to 5% of humanity left alive by about 2070.”
The biggest remaining question is, how much more motivation do our politicians need before they make the required global fossil fuel reduction targets today to save the tomorrows of the future?
Once you can pass through the natural disbelief and denial about what you read, and you better understand the coming future climate change conditions, you will realize that the future that you had planned for yourself or your small business has been stolen from you by the greed of the global fossil fuel cartel and their corruption of our governments and politicians. We are genuinely sorry for how this climate change reality check will make you feel. We know how bad it made our team of climate change analysts and researchers feel when they were forced to acknowledge painful facts and the non-politized math and physics of climate change.
Please do not deny our painful new climate change reality any longer. This is what is now needed for everyone’s PLAN B.
Please do all the following PLAN B actions simultaneously:
1. Get busy with your emergency preparations before it is too late! If you wait too long, you will not be able to find what you need, or it will be far more expensive.
2. Get your politicians to reach the mandatory 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets.
3. Vote politicians supporting policies that deny the reality of the accelerating climate change emergency out of office as fast as possible. They are on the wrong side of history, and because of their climate change emergency denial policies, they will make the unconscionable pain of accelerating climate change consequences cost far more, hurt far more, and last far longer.
4. Environmental and climate organizations should push to establish global governance to save humanity. Without some new global entity evolving with the power to make and enforce laws transnationally, the accelerating global warming emergency is far beyond any individual or collective nation’s ability to negotiate or solve.
Individual nations will continue to do precisely as they are doing now. They will lie, cheat, and delay making the required fossil fuel reductions. They will do everything they can to preserve their competitive advantage. Only the evolution of a new global governance entity will ultimately be able to solve the climate change emergency.
5. Don’t be fooled by all the ridiculous media-hyped carbon capture nonsense. You will hear that “carbon capture will save us at the last minute. This nonsense is more cleverly disguised fossil fuel cartel disinformation designed to keep you and the world from cutting back on fossil fuel use. (Click here to read about this clever carbon capture false hope and popular media deception.)
Getting real about the future of climate change and humanity, and a special “secret” part of our PLAN B
It is highly improbable that our government will act in time to prevent mass human extinction, massive financial loss, and suffering. Therefore, to maintain one’s emotional balance and sanity, one needs to see how humanity will escape this mess with our ongoing government’s failure to act. (To see the 30+ reasons why it is highly improbable our governments will act in time to prevent the loss of half of humanity, click here.)
While it is theoretically possible for accelerating climate change consequences to reduce the human population to 15% to 5% of the current population if our governments continue for another 10-20 years without making the required radical fossil fuel reductions, this 15% to 5% reduction outcome is highly improbable for two reasons.
Those two reasons are:
1. Accelerating climate change will not destroy ALL of humanity. This is because Mother Nature (not geoengineering) will eventually come to humanity’s rescue. Due to the many accelerating and direct consequences of climate change, Mother Nature will herself radically reduce the human population. Her actions will reduce the human population by about 50%, and that reduction of humanity will also reduce global fossil fuel use by almost the same percentage. This radical Mother Nature-powered climate change consequence-enforced drop in global fossil fuel use will be just enough to save much of humanity, hopefully as much as 50%.
2. There’s also a high probability that by 2035-45, when climate change’s consequences have risen exponentially and are causing unconscionable global chaos, havoc, and loss, our governments and politicians will finally act to make the required radical fossil fuel cuts. While it will still be too late to save about half of humanity, this will contribute to the global reduction of fossil fuels needed to help save as much of the remaining and surviving human population as possible.
Finally, Some Better Climate Change Overview News
We must now urgently do what is necessary to save humanity and civilization before the world enters a climate change-driven and amplified widespread global collapse of the stability of our global food systems and other essential ecological and human support systems. The widespread global collapse of those systems will lead to the widespread global collapse of the stability of our economic, political, and social systems.
It is essential to remember that human and natural systems have repeatedly collapsed over human and natural history, and something has always survived. Evolutionary history and evolutionary theory also indicate that new forms of rebirth regularly follow periods of major collapse. Collapse and rebirth are standard recurring parts of Earth’s and humanity’s evolutionary existence, particularly when some part of that existence refuses to “listen” to the increasingly louder feedback that collapse is coming. (Click here for more about humanity’s spellbinding evolutionary collapse and rebirth history.)
Here is more positive news to help counterbalance the vast challenges we face:
a. Thousands of lawsuits are now forcing the global fossil fuel cartel to pay for the damages their toxic and polluting products are causing worldwide to our lives, health, homes, finances, businesses, farms, and nations. These lawsuits are occurring at the national, state, regional, and local litigation levels and will slow down fossil fuel climate pollution by removing its profit incentive. (Click here for more about the rising wave of climate change restitution litigation and how you can join it.)
b. Accurate climate change-related information (like this article) will make surviving easier and more certain. Understanding the most probable time frames of the accelerating climate change emergency and how it affects the widespread global collapse of food production and other critical ecological and human support systems, as well as what will happen to business, production, and the human population, is survival-critical.
This timeframe knowledge will be essential for accurate long-term planning, maintaining the correct sense of preparation and adaptation urgency, and maintaining emotional balance. To help you understand the critical global collapse triggers and timeframes, we authored three additional articles summarizing the best previous academic and independent research on the projected approaching widespread global collapse and its processes.
Especially if you have remaining doubts about the correct science-grounded timeframes listed above for the horrible climate change consequences, read our three compelling summaries and global collapse research verification articles.)
Click here to read the first of the three must-read articles after finishing this article. These three articles will give you a big-picture intelligence agency-level understanding of the critical timeframes of the climate change emergency that are driving humanity’s other major crises toward widespread global systems collapse.
c. Maintaining a positive and balanced perspective will be essential to survive. Another big-picture way to see humanity’s next big evolutionary climate challenge is, “There is no truly bad weather. There is only selecting the wrong bad-weather gear for the particular kind of bad weather you face.” In other words, life and evolution are always in continuous change, and we must adapt to major life-threatening changes in one way or another.
The above good news section implies that those wise individuals who listen to life’s current climate change feedback, learn from it, and prepare for and adapt to it. They will have the best opportunity to survive and use what they learned about everything that is causing this climate nightmare and system collapse to prevent it from reoccurring.
The links below will help you select the optimal bad weather gear for the coming very bad weather.
