Introduction
The rapid increase in atmospheric CO2, methane, nitrous oxide and other gases that trap heat in what is known as the greenhouse effect poses a serious threat to all life on Earth, including human life. For most species it is an existential threat. Earth is already experiencing its most rapid extinction and the populations of most animals and insects have already collapsed.
The greenhouse effect was first proposed in 1824 by Joseph Fourier, who suggested that Earth's atmosphere traps heat, warming the planet. John Tyndall expanded on this in the 1850s, identifying gases like water vapor and carbon dioxide as key heat absorbers. Svante Arrhenius in 1896 quantified the effect, linking CO2 levels to global temperature changes. The greenhouse effect is well established as scientific fact.
In 1959, the physicist Edward Teller told the members of the American Petroleum Institute (API) at their annual meeting exactly what would happen if fossils fuels continued to be burned, which is what is happening now. The API confirmed his statements in studies by Stanford Research Institute (SRI), which told them the same as Teller, but in greater detail and with certainty. The response of the API was to hide the SRI study and wage an attack on science and the truth about global warming and the climate crisis. They chose to cause mass extinction in exchange for short-term profits.
It is true that greenhouse gas levels were higher millions of years of ago, temperatures were higher and life flourished. However, at no time in Earth’s known history have the levels of greenhouse gases risen so rapidly. At no time in human history have greenhouse gases been so high. Most of the species that existed millions of years ago were substantially different than the ones currently populating Earth.
The climate crisis comes at a time of global environmental disruption and destruction. Due to human activity, every corner of the planet is contaminated with toxic chemicals, heavy metals and micro-plastics. The blood and organs of most every creature on the planet is contaminated by these pollutants. There is no known means to remove much of the pollution and most of it will persist for at least hundreds of years. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) will remain in the environment and cause illness and death for at least hundreds of thousands of years. PFAS continue to be manufactured and spread around the globe despite the fatal consequences.
While Homo sapiens sapiens can be considered a failed species that should become extinct, it is possible for humans to live in harmony with other species and not trash the planet. It took billions of years for Earth to produce a species with human capabilities and it is our belief that we are worth saving if we can transform ourselves from a destructive species to Earth’s caretakers. This is website contains a step-by-step plan to save humanity through the cultivation of a new culture and civilization that doesn’t trash the planet and which empowers individuals to nurture the Earth back to health.
What the Future Holds
As of [todays date], human greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, mining, pollution and habitat destruction continues unabated. While the deployment of renewable energy continues, so does energy demand and the demand for minerals to support mass electrification, the war industry and AI infrastructure. Much of the response to the climate crisis has been weaponized or is misguided and will do more harm than good.
The pace of extinctions and wildlife population collapse is accelerating. Efforts to protect nature continue to fail in the face of capitalist forces, apathy and political corruption.
Because humanity is mostly just making the polycrisis worse and lacks intelligent and pragmatic leadership, there is little hope that sufficient change will occur unless it is forced.
