Humanity faces the first Planetary State of Emergency in its history. Below are the 13 most pressing global emergencies, including runaway global warming, which has led to the creation of this massive emergency.

Prologue

The following is the Universe Institute's initial rational statement of the 13  critical challenges facing humanity and threatening its survival. At this time, it does not include solutions to the challenges listed below, other than a general statement that the nations of the world and the United Nations have clearly failed to resolve these worsening global emergencies.

We are continuing our analysis, seeking effective transnational solutions to the global emergencies below, and will publish them on this blog and website when they are complete. That being said, at the very least, we believe that some new form of global governance will need to be established to address our current transnational emergencies, as we conclude that existing governmental structures will not be able to do so in time to save humanity from mass extinction or worse. This new form of global governance must be able to create and enforce global law, and punish violators. 

Introduction

The following analysis is dire, but it is not without hope. Human rationality and adaptability have solved humanities, previous greatest challenges. In this framework of hope, it is also essential to tell the rational facts about humanity's current condition. If you cannot honestly see a situation or reality as it is, it is highly doubtful. You will be able to manage it or fix it.

Humanity is heading into a deteriorating and undeclared Planetary State of Emergency involving the growing potential for a highly probable globalized collapse of numerous critical global survival and stability systems (such as the climate, environment, the economy, and our political and social systems).

As you read about the 13 global crises below, it is also helpful to consider our key deteriorating or problematic global systems, like a row of dominoes. Once one of them falls in the direction of the others, most of the others will fall as well.

There is a real and credible probability of a widespread global extinction and collapse process triggered primarily by the primary and secondary consequences of runaway global heating interacting with the world's 12 other major crises.

Other than a growing number of climate scientists and intelligence agency climate analysts, most people have no idea that a runaway global warming-fueled extinction and collapse crisis is already unfolding. They also have no idea that from 2025 to about 2031, the consequences of runaway global heating (which are already bad now) will rise dramatically, many nearly doubling. 

This dramatic and pre-exponential rise will be due to crossing many more climate change tipping points and feedback loops over those six years. Most individuals who have heard about this issue do not believe our governments could ever let this happen or would hide it.

This denial is understandable because the idea of a runaway, global heating-driven extinction and collapse process already in progress is not only overwhelmingly frightening, but also far too complex for many to comprehend, as it is completely unheard of in human history.  

Reviewing the information and analysis in the article below, it will quickly become clear to you if we are or are not in a global extinction and collapse process. 

You will discover: 

1. Led by runaway global warming, the collective worsening of our 13 major global crises (listed below) is likely to lead to the extinction of approximately half of humanity by mid-century. 

2. Almost everything you have been told about the worst climate change and global heating consequences arriving late in the 21st century is DEAD wrong. 

3. Almost everything you have been told that we still have until 2035, 2040, or 2050 to make critical extinction-preventing global fossil fuel reductions is also dead wrong. 

And most importantly,

4. What we must and can still do to prevent, adapt to, slow down, and survive a cascading convergence of endless catastrophes resulting from the worsening of runaway global heating and the other 12 global crises that are disrupting, interacting, and amplifying each other, as well as crossing their tipping points. (At the end of this document, you will find links to a practical plan called the Job One for Humanity Plan B. It will show you how to make the best of our difficult future.)

Your understanding of the following global collapse and extinction processes, as well as your preparation for them, will be the critical factors most affecting your future comfort, safety, and survival. Depending upon your current location, the following warning signs (the primary and secondary consequences of our current runaway global heating) might even help determine the best location for your survival. 

While reading the 13 major global crises below, remember that they are not separate, stand-alone, or unconnected occurrences. The 13 global crises listed below are highly interactive, interconnected, and interdependent with one another. When any of them worsens, it can cause the worsening of several or even most global crises. 

Continue to think of the following 13 global crises as an intertwined plate of spaghetti, as illustrated in the image below. Each separate noodle (global crisis) touches the others and is capable of affecting the other noodles (global crises) with their sauce, heat, "flavor," or condition.

 

 

The collapse crisis we describe below presents humanity's greatest opportunity to resolve many intractable global problems and inequities that could not (and have not) be previously solved. The end of this document will also point you toward information on how the Great Global Collapse can be transformed into humanity's greatest opportunity and potential for a Great Global Rebirth.

(Please note that we did not prioritize this list because individuals will see these crises with different values and priorities. We also did not include a sudden global thermal nuclear war in humanity's greatest global challenges as its own special category. We did not include it that way because it is a commonly accepted and known given, that in any moment, since the beginning of the Cold War, the world could tumble into global nuclear war. If so, the world would be basically over for all of humanity within days or months, except for those people in fallout shelters who would try to survive for decades to hundreds of years until the planet stops being radioactive.

While it is a real growing risk, it is not something that most people have any influence over. We did indirectly, although included in the section on conflicts and wars that could escalate into nuclear because of all of the 13 global crisis going on at one time.)

 

Global Crisis and Challenge 1: The Earth is overpopulated.

The Earth has a carrying capacity of approximately 1.5 billion to 2 billion people, as illustrated in the figure below. On average, about 141 million people are born every year, and usually, pre-pandemic, 50 million people a year died.

We are currently at nearly 8 billion people, on track to reach 9.8 billion by 2050. Although we have already surpassed sustainable population levels, no government is currently implementing a human reproduction policy. Future and current generations will suffer unthinkable catastrophes because, as humanity, we failed to manage the size of our global population to match the sustainable carrying capacity of our global environment and the Earth's available and renewable resources.

 

 

Overpopulation and its inevitable overconsumption beyond our carrying capacity are the primary causes behind today's global warning emergency. Furthermore, as the global population continues to rise, the additional population further multiplies and amplifies the most harmful consequences of almost all the other 12 global crises below. This is particularly true for global resource depletion, also known as "overshoot" of global resources. (See Global Crisis and Challenge 2.)

 

 

 

Overpopulation also exacerbates the numerous primary and secondary consequences of runaway global heating, which are further discussed on this page. 

(For a candid and balanced article on the immense suffering caused by our global overpopulation challenge, please see this article, Population, the Great Knee-Jerker: A Holistic Survey and Plea to Reduce Suffering.) Please also click this carrying capacity link for more about why our beyond carrying capacity and rapidly rising overpopulation challenge is extremely dangerous to everyone's future.)

As you will discover, overpopulation and Crisis 2 below are intimately intertwined and connected.

 

Global Crisis and Challenge 2: Overconsumption is causing ever-rising, critical global resource depletion. 

This overconsumption is also known as global resources overshoot.) This overshoot is driven first by overpopulation in relation to the carrying capacity of the land and sea acreage available for a given population.

Overshoot also manifests itself in the consequent toxic pollution of water, lands, and air, crop failures, overfishing, topsoil loss, resource distribution injustice, and the massive "overconsumption and waste" of the Earth's very finite resources and its limited carrying capacity. In addition to the numerous consequences of runaway global heating, which include crop failures, global resource depletion, such as phosphate fertilizers, will significantly exacerbate food shortages and lead to soaring food prices, ultimately resulting in mass starvation and migration.

The future is likely to face numerous resource shortages due to overshoot. Expect shortages in clean, drinkable water, food, raw materials, and medical and other manufactured supplies. Never forget that a critical or essential missing resource can halt the entire system's functioning. 

We are likely to experience numerous resource shortages in the near future. For example, the following are estimates of when only a few of our critical global resources will be depleted:

Freshwater in 12 years (2032),

Fish stocks will be almost totally gone by 2050,

Adequate topsoil for crop growing will be gone by 2070.

(See this page to see 90 percent of fish stock already overfished and to see charts on how this loss will throw much of the world into starvation.) The rapid depletion of phosphorus, a critical nutrient for crop fertilizers, is of particular concern. Adequate access to this could run out in as little as 35 to 45 years.

 

 

If you still do not believe that resource depletion and overshoot of our carrying capacity is a huge problem. Watch this fantastic resource overshoot video with great graphics, global resource depletion amounts, and time frames in simple illustrations by Hugh Montgomery, a noted English professor. (We strongly recommend you watch this video for all the food and non-food resources in accelerating depletion, adding to the mass starvation peril. [Forward the video to the 10 minutes and 30-second mark to begin watching Professor Hugh Montgomery's compelling graphic presentation.])

Many other critical mineral and non-mineral resources will also run out soon. Click here to see a chart with the key essential resources that will be depleted. After overpopulation, which is the main amplifier of global resource depletion, overshoot is considered by most experts to be the key major cause behind or feeding runaway global heating and almost all of our other listed 13 global crises.

 

Global Crisis and Challenge 3: Escalating pollution of lands, air, and waters. 

Ongoing and accelerating toxic pollution kills crops and fish stocks and poisons our air, water, and soil, creating and accelerating all types of global health, social, and economic problems. (Ocean heating and ocean acidification from carbon from runaway global heating will eventually kill off much of the oceans' oxygen-producing plankton. These plankton are responsible for as much as 50% of all oxygen produced on the planet.) 

Pollution from micro-plastics in the air, water, soil, and food chain and the new presence of the now-everywhere PFAS "forever chemicals" are deeply concerning for our future. Future generations, with their accelerated cancer and other pollution-related disease rates, will curse us because of our greed and incompetence in failing to regulate microplastic and PFAS production. 

 

 

Global Crisis and Challenge 4: loss of biodiversity.

We are experiencing a higher rate of plant and animal extinctions than at any other time in human history. This extinction, in part, is due to an ongoing and accelerating loss of natural habitat due to overpopulation, runaway global heating, overuse, pollution, etc. (Leading Stanford University biologists, who were first to reveal that we are already experiencing the sixth mass extinction on Earth, released new research this week showing species extinctions are accelerating in an unprecedented manner, which may be another tipping point for the collapse of human civilization.) This biodiversity is critical because it supports or is essential to our critical food chains.

 

 

 Global Crisis and Challenge 5: Mass Migration.

Political and economic instability, increasing terrorism, conflicts, and war, plus runaway global heating and many of the other listed global challenges on this page, will both create and expand sudden, massive migrations of millions, then billions, of desperate refugees and climate migrants. During this phase, as most of the listed global challenges on this page intensify, various stronger governments will order precautionary evacuations of selected individuals and groups to limit casualties and losses from their most vulnerable areas. Before 2030-2035, due to runaway global heating alone, the world will see hundreds of millions of climate migrants (climate refugees).

 

Global Crisis and Challenge 6: Escalating local, regional, and international criminality, conflicts, terrorism, and war. 

Expect these population-destabilizing security and stability threats to intensify, increase in frequency, and expand in scale. This threat escalation will occur at local levels, including both urban and rural areas, as well as at regional and international levels. Vastly increased levels of survival-driven criminality, conflicts, terrorism, and war will be due to the world experiencing almost all of the global challenges on this page getting steadily worse. Global nuclear or widespread chemical or biological war is also a real and escalating threat, as most global challenges on this page worsen. 

Nations with nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons will eventually fight to the death for the few remaining safe lands, dwindling food supplies, and other critical resources. In addition, the ever-increasing mass migrations of desperate climate refugees (climagees) illegally crossing borders will soon be treated as hostile territorial invasions. We estimate that when atmospheric carbon reaches about a 425-450 ppm level, we will begin to see a sharp and almost exponential rise in these issues. 

 

 

Global Crisis and Challenge 7: increasing global economic instabilities 

This will lead to the first global or multinational recession or depression. (These new monster recessions and depressions will be fueled by the ever-rising costs and, worse, climate change consequences, as well as being driven by escalating national debt and deficits, using exotic new investment vehicles like the deregulated hedge fund trading and derivatives that "gamed the system" in the 2008 economic crash. 

The first real global depression or recession could also occur sooner than we are prepared for due to bursting balloons in new real estate or commodities, new challenges to the US currency continuing as the world's reserve currency, lack of adequate national financial reserves, low financial system resilience, hidden pre-existing global economic system weaknesses, new and unexpected major economic shocks (like a new COVID mutation, new military conflicts, escalating and costly runaway global heating catastrophes or even some unforeseen risk from the rising global use and speculation on cryptocurrencies. 

Suppose any of the above (or other currently unknown major financial risks) hit our multinational or global economic systems with sufficient intensity. In that case, we will experience our first true global depression or recession, where almost every nation will share the same painful levels of economic downturn. Our national, multinational, and international financial systems are much more vulnerable and fragile than we are being led to believe.

 

Global Crisis and Challenge 8: Increasing Political System Instability and Collapsing Governments. 

Fueled by escalating climate change consequences, existing internal and external conflicts, soaring deficits, and the other intensifying global challenges listed on this page, poorly managed nations with weak economies and low existing resilience will fall first. In 2025, numerous countries are on the verge of economic or political collapse. As the increased stresses of these listed global challenges continue to grow upon all nations, stronger nations will also steadily collapse.  

 

 

 

Global Crisis and Challenge 9: The rise of many more dictators and ultra-nationalistic governments

Some of them will harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to monitor and control their populations. The 13 major global problems listed on this page will naturally produce fear in humanity. When people are in fear, they look to a strong personality or leader who promises simple solutions and acts deliberately. With the recent change in the US administration, 71% of the world's population is currently under what would be considered authoritarian rule.

The cycle of fear over intensifying global and local problems has happened repeatedly. The best example is the rise of Nazism and Adolf Hitler. 

As things steadily worsen toward multiple global systems collapses, national citizens' fear responses will intensify. Global politics and politicians will quickly move more toward right-wing nationalism and "cult of personality-type" dictators.

These new ultra-nationalistic governments run by dictators will not hesitate to use the many powers of artificial intelligence to monitor every move of their citizens and use AI technology to control their citizens' thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Adding the new AI technology to the previous three generations of mind control and coercive persuasion technologies allows the dictators of tomorrow to create the perfect slave state far beyond what was envisioned by George Orwell in his book 1984.

How soon more global governments move to ultra-nationalistic right-wing dictatorships will be determined by how fast the 13 global problems you see on this page worsen and how fast human fear is fueled by ruthless politicians and ratcheted up by our worsening conditions. The bad news is that, at our current level of worsening of these 13 factors, one can expect to see more fear and global challenges to democratic governments from nationalistic, right-wing movements, as well as an increase in countries becoming more nationalistic, right-wing, and dictator-friendly.

 

Global Crisis and Challenge 10: New COVID-19-like pandemics and other new and older disease epidemics will continue to flare up every decade or less. 

This will partly be due to the consequences of runaway global heating, including the melting of permafrost, loss of natural animal habitats, increased consumption of wild animals, overcrowding, less resilient health systems, mass migrations, wars and conflicts, and many of the other challenges and consequences listed on this page. Additionally, new and older disease epidemics will occur more frequently and be more severe because of the abuse of antibiotics in animal product production. This abuse has resulted in bacteria that are now resistant to every known type of antibiotic. 

Worse yet, it is estimated that we will face a new global pandemic threat every 5-10 years due to the direct and indirect consequences of runaway global heating. (Most people have no idea that pandemics and epidemics are also part of the predicted "normal" results of the escalating global heating emergency.) 

Directly and indirectly, the severe loss of natural wild animal habitat caused by runaway global heating, the eating of more wild and non-domesticated animals, and the exploding of hungry world populations crowding into urban areas will be a continuous contributing or the prime cause of new zoological Covid-like diseases crossing over from animal populations into human populations and becoming pandemics.

More COVID-19-type global pandemics could come as often as every decade. The AIDS virus became widespread in the late 1970s, the SARS virus in 2003, the MERS virus in 2012, and the Ebola virus in 2013. Click here for more about how escalating runaway global heating may begin producing COVID-19-like pandemics every decade. 

 

Global Crisis and Challenge 11: growing economic inequality, social and racial injustice, and more poverty. 

As all of the above global challenges and emergencies worsen and climate change accelerates, there will be rapidly growing economic inequality, social and racial injustice, and more poverty. Today, less than 1% of the world's population owns more than 50% of all wealth. Over the last several decades, this ownership percentage has continued to grow in favor of the wealthy. Growing economic inequality and poverty often increase food shortages and cause food prices to soar, leading again to mass starvation and migrations. This year (2020,) 130 million people are lacking adequate food and could starve to death. COVID-19's effect on the world economy could double that number in the next few years. Over the following decades, global heating consequences will raise that number into the hundreds of millions, eventually rising well past a billion.) 

 

 

Global Crisis and Challenge 12: Fourth-generation mind control technology combined with supercomputers, artificial intelligence (AI), social media, and surveillance, identification, and tracking technologies will steadily destroy existing democracies and turn most of the global population into the enslaved.

It is estimated that 70% of the world's population is already under dictatorial or authoritarian governmental control. When you combine fourth-generation mind control with AI, supercomputers, surveillance software, and other technologies, it will not take long at all to put most of the rest of the world into nations controlled by dictators and authoritarian governments. When these technologies work together, it will not take long for outside and internal forces to bring down the strongest democracies.

The rapidly rising extreme dangers of fourth generation mind control to the world's population, (and the three generations of mind control technology that have proceeded it, explain how our stone-age impaired brains are also being attacked and compromised by 4th generation mind control technology enabled by supercomputers, advanced algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI) surveillance and identification software, and today's social media and search platforms.

This AI and social media-enabled mind control attack of hidden manipulation is not only enhancing tensions but also polarizing people worldwide. It is also causing people to lose the ability to reason and distinguish between what is true and what is false.

This 4th generation mind control is dangerous because, without the ability to see and know truth from falsehood independently, the world will continue making terrible decisions on our many global challenges. Social media fake news propagation is also super-charging racial, ethnic, religious, and national political tensions worldwide to make matters worse. This super-charging effect will eventually and most certainly produce more racial, ethnic, religious, and national conflicts, maybe even new racial, ethnic, religious, and national wars.

Before we describe the basics of 4th-generation mind control, we strongly recommend watching the shocking Netflix documentary, The Social Dilemma, first. It will set the necessary foundation for you to understand the invisible tactics used and to know why fourth-generation mind control is already another severe and vast problem inhibiting our ability to solve our current global challenges. Additionally, the everyday use of fourth-generation mind control by social media companies is not only hindering our ability to think and solve global challenges; it is also significantly exacerbating the worst consequences of those challenges.

In this new documentary, you will hear top executives from Silicon Valley's most prominent social media companies telling you the world is in a new grave danger and that we must regulate and remove this danger immediately. They will also warn you that AI and supercomputers have transformed social media into a new form of ultra-sophisticated, hidden nano-manipulation, whose fundamental purpose is to alter your opinions, beliefs, and sense of identity, ultimately changing your behavior without your awareness or conscious consent.

Once you have viewed the Netflix documentary called The Social Dilemma, you are ready to continue with this brief explanation of the four generations of mind control:

a. First-generation mild control is almost as old as humanity. It appeared in ancient Egyptian and other cults where a member was put through many highly restrictive, cathartic, and stressful experiences. This process would often also involve the use of drugs, a fake death, and a "miraculous drugged "rebirth from the "death" experience. The reborn individual would then assume the cult's new identity because the cult had saved their lives.

The subject usually also became a fanatical true believer. First-generation mind control was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Think of it as a one-by-one assembly line. (For more, see the initiation rites of Hashish Assassins.)

b. Second-generation mild control was advanced in the 1950s when modern psychology tactics were integrated with many ancient first-generation cult tactics. The Russians, Koreans, and Chinese all used second-generation tactics in their Gulags and thought-reform prison camps on political dissidents. The Koreans made second-generation mind control effectiveness famous when they captured US Air Force pilots and used it so effectively that the pilots went on International TV and denounced America and the American way of life.

Second-generation mind control was more refined and also less time-consuming. Numerous handlers were still needed in the prison camps to execute the program, which involved applying and maintaining continuous stress on the subjects until they broke. Think of an assembly line that could produce more cost-effective mind control victims whose opinions, beliefs, and identities had been radically changed. (For more, search the descriptions of what was done in Korea to downed US pilots during the Korean War.

c. Third-generation mild control was advanced in the 1960s by cults like Scientology, the Moonies, and Hare Krishna. Here, coercive influence tactics of modern psychology were integrated with many of the ancient first-generation cult tactics. Unlike the Russians, Korean, and Chinese Gulags and their use of thought-reform prison camps, these modern cults had refined the mind control tactics to newer micro-influence levels, no longer requiring physical constraint or physical abuse.

Third-generation mind control was less time-consuming and labor-intensive because it could be done not one by one, like in earlier mind control generations, but on a whole group of people at the same time. This group application was achieved by controlling almost every area of their existence in the cult. (What they wore, ate, thought, did, etc.)

Stress was still applied continuously but more skillfully, secretively, and gradually in micro-steps. Think of a faster, better coercive influence group assembly line, which also could produce more cost-effective mind control victims whose opinions, beliefs, and identity had been radically changed more efficiently and faster. (If you read George Orwell's 1984, you will have a good idea of what life was like inside these third-generation mind-control cults. For more, search for what was done to victims of the cults mentioned above in the many lawsuits filed against them.)

d. Fourth-generation mild control began not long after the creation of social media, and Silicon Valley launched the new search platforms. Fourth-generation mind control represents a significant leap from individual or group applications to mass applications. No longer did one have to be imprisoned or even be in a high-control, high-restriction cult to be the victim of this new hidden and even more dangerous mind control.

Fourth-generation mind control uses supercomputers, artificial intelligence (AI), complex algorithms, the psychology of influence and behavioral change, tightly controlled echo chambers, and some earlier-generation deceit and hidden influence tactics. Fourth-generation mind control methodically gathers and scrapes every bit of information from every online and offline source possible about you and your life. It will utilize the information collected about you from every type of electronic transaction you are involved in, both on the Internet and offline. 

Fourth generation's AI capabilities will analyze the movies you watch, the books you read, the products you buy, the churches you go to, your current health, the drugs you take, the political parties and nonprofit organizations you donate to, and every article or letter or post you have ever written, and much much more. It will then analyze all of this information for every current opinion, belief, attitude, and core sense of identity that you believe yourself to be. 

In gradual, even nano-scaled steps, using the supercomputer automation powers of fourth-generation mind control, a program will then be created that continuously and invisibly influences your every interest, weakness, and proclivity. These continuous, gradual nano-steps make it even easier to change the subject's opinions, beliefs, and even their core sense of who they believe they are (their identity), and they have no idea this is happening.

Fourth-generation mind control is magnitudes more powerful than the previous three generations of mind control. It is the least time-consuming and labor-intensive method because it is primarily performed by computers and artificial intelligence, which can monitor an individual's information and responses and feed back what the program's creators want that person to think, believe, or do in tiny, invisible steps. It also far surpasses the danger of the three previous methods of mind control because it is being done to billions of people simultaneously, not just the small groups, as in third-generation mind control. 

In fourth-generation mind control, stress is still applied continuously but far more skillfully, secretively, and gradually than in any other mind control generation.

Think of fourth-generation mind control as a faster, better mass production assembly line that can more cost-effectively produce billions of mind control victims and enslaved people over the next few decades. Think of fourth-generation mind control as the quickest, most invisible, and most advanced technology of modern civilization being used against our stone-age brains. 

Yes, our stone-age brains will never have a chance unless we regulate and ban the tools of fourth-generation mind control from being used on our children or manipulating every person now using social media, computers, or any electronic device where messages could be presented to you and/or feedback from your reactions monitored. (For more, watch the Social Dilemma documentary on Netflix. In clear and precise ways, it will reveal the many subtle and invisible ways that today's social media is employing fourth-generation mind control to subtly alter your opinions, beliefs, identity, and behavior without your awareness or consent.

Fourth-generation mind control technology, when combined with supercomputers, AI, and other advanced software, can be utilized for various purposes. Here are just a few:

1. Foreign authoritarian governments can undermine democracy through social media networks within those democracies.

2. Corporations and political parties can use it in social media and other electronic media to cause distrust of trusted sources, attack adversaries, polarize a population, generate debilitating fear and anxiety, which could motivate individuals to vote for solutions or act in ways that would actually harm them, attack disfavored or marginalized groups and create new or altered national or individual origin stores and identities.

3. To spread false information and propaganda far more effectively.

In 2025, it is estimated that dictatorial or authoritarian governments are currently governing 72% of the world's population. As more ruthless, primitive alphas seek more power, the tools of fourth-generation mind control will sweep through every part of the world, destroying what fragile democracies still exist. Fourth-generation mind control will create the ultimate police state far beyond the mind-controlled 1984, predicted by George Orwell. It will create a world of horrors far beyond those depicted in all of our dystopian movies. You're every thought, belief, attitude, opinion, and who you believe yourself to be will become the finished product of those who control fourth-generation mind control.

What will you do to prevent this from happening? Please take a moment to consider this additional accelerating global emergency, problem, and challenge.

Fourth-generation mind control is designed to turn us all into controlled enslaved people who will genuinely still believe that they are creating their own thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, decisions, and conclusions when they are actually being manipulated and controlled by those individuals, corporations, and governments who see the immoral and despicable advantages of using fourth generation mind control tools.

Populations being controlled with fourth-generation mind control will not be able to see reality and truth as it is. Eventually, it is certain that those populations will create or continue the problems that will ultimately destroy them. 

The money and power greed of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and venture capitalists, some of which may not understand modern mind control technology or how their AI and supercomputer software innovations can be used or combined with other cutting-edge surveillance and identification software by the ruthless to create the ultimate advancement in mind control are unknowing and knowingly creating the perfect tools for the ultimate far beyond 1984 police state. The irony of this is that for decades, Silicon Valley has been recruiting young people by vigorously promoting its new products as a means to help create a better, more democratic world.

You are currently witnessing the perfection of fourth-generation mind control, integrated with AI, supercomputers, and the most advanced surveillance software in countries like North Korea and China.

 

Global Crisis and Challenge 13: The ever-accelerating climate change emergency.

This climate change emergency is causing escalating desertification, sea-level rise, flooding, deforestation, reef collapse, droughts, wildfires, extreme storms, and the spread of diseases through epidemics and pandemics. All of these consequences of runaway global heating are increasing in scale, severity, and frequency as our average global temperature continues to rise. 

Accelerating climate change is the single greatest disruptor and global threat multiplier of the 21st century. It can directly or indirectly significantly amplify and multiply the adverse consequences of almost every other global crisis listed on this page. The climate change emergency, if not resolved soon, will itself cause the deaths of most of humanity by mid-century. Worse yet, due to the runaway global heating caused by climate change, we will also cross several extinction-evoking global warming tipping points long before 2050. (These three critical runaway global heating tipping points are described here.)

This runaway global heating is also detrimental to the world's economy. The rising consequences of the runaway global heating emergency will eventually consume larger and larger percentages of every nation's Gross Domestic Productivity (GDP.) Loss estimates range from 3-5% of national GDPs now to as much as 30% of the total national GDP in the final phases of the runaway global heating emergency.

As runaway global heating reaches its later Climageddon Scenario phases, it will become far more likely that we will destroy ourselves in a massive war or nuclear conflict over the remaining scarce resources or the very limited, safe lands.

 

 

 

Excluding the challenges of having no real global government (which is an evolutionary, structural, and developmental issue) and the immediate threat of global thermonuclear war, our out-of-control, runaway global heating is the single most dangerous global challenge today. It is also the most dangerous global challenge because:

a) It is also the most immediate and probable meta-trigger for the growing possibility of a chain reaction of whipsawing and simultaneous ecological, economic, social, and political falling domino catastrophes, as well as the converging global system collapses involving, directly or indirectly, most of the other critical global challenges listed above. 

 

 

If you think about accelerating runaway global heating as a brightly burning match that will ignite the highly explosive and destructive "fuels" already existing within most of the other 12 critical challenges listed above, you would have another good idea of why we have to get the runaway global heating emergency under control as our immediate and top priority. 

b) Runaway global heating is already a severe security threat unfolding. It is currently causing substantial global problems. It is rapidly growing toward crossing four critical extinction-evoking tipping points.  It is, in fact, already all but out of our control. It can and will end about half or more of the human species within our lifetimes if we do not act soon! 

 

 

We are not the only ones warning about the probable widespread global collapse and mass extinction of humanity

Many thousands of scientists worldwide are also warning about extreme resource overshoot, ecological systems collapse, and runaway global heating causing a massive human extinction event often called the  Sixth Great Extinction. 

For example, according to a 2020 study published in Scientific Reports, if deforestation and resource consumption (aka overshoot) continue at current rates, they could culminate in a "catastrophic collapse in human population" and possibly "an irreversible collapse of our civilization" in the next 20 to 40 years.

According to the most optimistic scenario provided by another study, the chances that human civilization survives is less than 10%. (See Nafeez, Ahmed. "Theoretical Physicists Say 90% Chance of Societal Collapse Within Several Decades". Vice. Retrieved 2 August 2021. Also see Bologna, M.; Aquino, G. (2020). "Deforestation and world population sustainability: a quantitative analysis." Scientific Reports. 10 (7631): 7631. doi:10.1038/s41598-020-63657-6. PMC 7203172. PMID 32376879.) 

Click here to review our essential three-article summary of the world's best research on the key global collapse and extinction from MIT, the Club of Rome, KPMG, etc. It will show you how, by 2035, humanity could already be deep into mass human extinction and widespread global collapse. These three articles also explore the five factors, besides climate change, predicted to bring about mass extinction and global collapse sometime before 2050. 

The last of these three articles integrates our most current climate change research (which wasn't in the original study) by MIT, the Club of Rome, KPMG, etc. This third article updates the timeframe for the collapse and mass extinction, shifting the worst of the collapse and extinction cycle to occur between approximately 2035 and 2045.

Here is a graph illustrating the major consequences and their corresponding time frames, as reported in studies by MIT, the Club of Rome, KPMG, and others. This is the 2023 Job One for Humanity updated graph, featuring current climate change information added to all corroborated facts from the studies mentioned previously, and highlighting the consequences where humanity falls short of the 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets required for survival.

Humanity is in dire trouble, and this massive crisis is looming far sooner than the public is being told, and most governments are not equipped to prepare for it.

 

 

At Job One, we do not think the future is bleak, as described in the studies above. This is because they did not accurately account for critical natural and human dialectical counteracting factors in these studies. (Click here to see some of the natural and human dialectical counteractions that will occur long before the worst possible scenario occurs.)

There is far more information on the climate change emergency on the Job One For Humanity Website.

 

What happens when most of our 13 global crises "feed" into each other's consequences and are also amplified by runaway global heating

Welcome to the rapidly unfolding first great mass human extinction and global collapse.

The future is not just a single global crisis getting worse. Most of the 12 crises are getting worse simultaneously, and these individual global crises are pushing other global crises faster and faster toward their internal tipping points. This cumulative and synergistic process, where most of the 12 interconnected and often interdependent global crises push each other over their internal tipping points, will produce a sudden and abrupt global collapse that will be almost impossible to recover from for nearly all existing nations.

This worsening situation means that those living today (and future generations) will face a cascading convergence of worsening global catastrophes. These accelerating and worsening catastrophes, collectively, will render the possibility of a stable, predictable, or livable future impossible.

If left poorly managed as they are now, hundreds of millions, then billions, will suffer and die from the cumulative effects of the primary and secondary effects of runaway global heating. Paradoxically, because so many will die, many of the above global crises will lessen dramatically or be radically reduced because there will be so many fewer people left competing or fighting for survival or using fossil fuels. Click here, and it will explain how Mother Nature's "tough medicine" will save some of us from total extinction.

There also could be a point where most of the coming human die-off of about half of humanity will not be coming solely from starvation, direct global heating consequences, or the other 12 global challenges being worsened by runaway global heating. It will most likely originate from scarce resources or border conflicts that will first escalate regionally, then nationally, and eventually internationally, using traditional weapons. Eventually, as the extinction, collapse, and chaos continue, the conflicts will likely become nuclear, biological, or chemical as the remaining stable nations desperately try to protect their boundaries and survival. 

Take a few moments at this point. Ask yourself the following questions. How long do you think humanity can muddle on into the 21st century without effectively resolving the runaway global heating extinction emergency and the 12 other critical global challenges? Will we last until only 2040, 2050, 2060, 2070, or the end of the 21st century? Informed global climate change and other crisis analysts believe humanity will be fortunate to survive into the late 2040s or 2050s.

Now ask yourself, are our leaders and governments effectively handing all, most, or even any of these 12 critical global crises to our future? If you are having any trouble envisioning or understanding how the 12 global challenges will interact with each other and bring an unprepared humanity to the very edge of near-total extinction, we have created a special page with illustrations to help you see how this Climageddon Feedback Loop will unfold. Click here to go to that page.

The reality is that no existing emergency preparedness program, government, NGO, or international organization is even remotely prepared for or capable of recovering from the convergence of Earth's greatest global crises, fueled and accelerated by the great disruptor and keystone threat multiplier of accelerating runaway global heating. 

The "Great Convergence" of these 12 global challenges creates a whole planetary system-level emergency never before seen or experienced in human history. This "Great Convergence" is also the 'perfect storm of perfect storms' and the most likely spiraling initiator and combined cause for the extinction of the human species and the collapse of civilization within 3-7 decades. (The latest 2004 update of the Club of Rome study antici­pated that by around 2050, with a "business as usual" industry and the world population growth, over 70% of humanity could perish. Additionally, everyone left on the planet would be severely impacted.)  

To help you understand only the global warming side of "Great Global Collapse," review the following runaway global heating 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 with tipping points and feedback processes that will occur as global heating continues to escalate, pushing us toward our extinction.

The top of the illustration shows you the later phase Climageddon Scenario extinction model consequences. The bottom shows you the earlier consequences. For now, get a general idea of all the runaway global heating consequences, tipping points, and human system factors that will be interacting and colliding, as well as amplifying and multiplying each other as the Climageddon extinction scenario unfolds in phases and waves. (Full explanations of each tipping point and consequence are found here, the 11 key global warming tipping points and, here, the 20 worst global warming consequences.)

Remember to review this illustration from the bottom up, beginning with the heating effect of global warming escalating!

 

 

The above illustration helps to illuminate how the Great Global Collapse will likely unfold and how it 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 increases in severity, frequency, and scale (because we fail to meet the life-critical 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets.)

 

The nine biggest reasons why most of our above 13 critical global crises have not been solved or will be extremely challenging to fix

Why are we in this nightmare?

The following are not all of the reasons that it is improbable that we will be able to resolve the above global crises. They are prioritized by the most important reasons first. They are not all of the reasons, but only several of the most important and overarching reasons:  

Reason 1: Our failure to evolve effective global governance with the needed legislative, judicial, and enforceable executive powers to solve all of the global challenges that cross national borders. If you think about it deeply, you will discover that this critical evolutionary failure of not having yet developed effective global governance is a core structural cause of why most of our current 12 biggest global crises have not been resolved and they continue to worsen. 

Even though it looks like someone is managing the well-being of the planet as a whole from the United Nations or our international treaties, this is an illusion! No one governing body is effectively or responsibly driving our global "car," and this collective "car is speeding toward a cliff without any single and empowered organization in the driver's seat. 

Reason 2: The world's political and economic leaders have no idea about the ecological, energy, and historical principles and reasoning in the book Overshoot by William Catton. Overpopulation and its unavoidable over-consumption (overshoot) beyond our carrying capacity IS the major core cause behind today's global warming emergency. Resource overshoot is also a fundamental underlying cause of almost all of humanity's 12 biggest global crises (discussed above). 

The Overshoot book explores the numerous civilization-ending consequences that result from over-consumption exceeding our carrying capacity. Suppose our political and economic leaders do not also understand the concepts of overshoot presented in this book. In that case, we will likely not resolve the 12 global crises we currently face.

Reason 3: Wealthy vested interests have compromised the effectiveness of our national governments. More often than not, our national government's decisions are not based on the long-term well-being of the general population. They are based on increasing the short-term financial and power advantages of a few ultra-wealthy individuals and corporations that fund politicians openly or secretly. Consequently, decisions favoring the interests of the privileged ultra-wealthy most often harm the general well-being of the many. 

Reason 4: We have hunter/gatherer brains developed before the Stone Age, trying to manage the twenty-first century's highly complex, self-organizing global systems. The physical structure of our minds has remained largely unchanged for over a million years. Our biological brains were developed in response to the simple demands of the Stone Age, such as hunting and gathering food. 

Our Stone Age brain structure cannot sufficiently comprehend or perform all the complex data analyses and calculations needed to manage complex adaptable systems like the global climate, the global economy, and the global environment, while balancing and managing international and global politics without endless war and conflict. 

The average planetary IQ is only about 100. Even genius-level individuals (with an IQ of 140 and above) cannot keep pace with the ever-increasing amounts of new information and the ever-increasing technical and other complexities of global systems. To cope, our Stone Age brains automatically revert to behaviors based on emotions, self-interest, and the comfort of superstition. Consequently, we often fail to recognize or understand the most severe problems within various global systems until it is too late to avoid the worst possible catastrophes, i.e., the global warming extinction emergency and the ongoing collapse of global civilization. (Both of which are occurring because of either the convergence or the amplification of the global challenges listed above.)

Reason 5: Most of our current leaders have both stone-age minds and stone-age leadership qualities.

We are still evolving members of the ape family. We proudly try to distance ourselves from our ape animal roots by calling ourselves humans. Despite our cultures continually trying to make us unaware of our evolutionary nature (we have 98% or more chimpanzee DNA), we are all still primarily subject to our ancient biological animal drives, and so, too, are our current leaders.

Most of our current leaders had to possess a high degree of primitive stone-age alpha male qualities, or they would never have become leaders in their area. Those stone-age alpha leadership qualities are used to command the pack with fear of violence, actual violence, and deceit. They most often use these and other aggressive intimidation tactics to maintain their power, privilege, and self-interest.

Most of our current Stone Age alphas will give excellent lip service to the common goals or the greater good of all. Still, they are always cleverly protecting and forwarding their self-interests or adding to their assets, most often at the expense of those they lead.

Unless society can remove these unevolved stone-age alphas from group leadership positions, it will continue to have the same primitive chimpanzee-evolved economic, political, religious, and social world we have now. This deficiency in stone-age quality leadership means that societies worldwide will soon need to establish minimum levels for their leaders' cognitive intelligence and IQ, as well as for their leaders' social and emotional developmental levels and empathy (at least a four or five on Robert Keegan of Harvard critical six-level evolutionary balance development scale).

To effectively manage the vast amount of information being generated in modern complex society, they will also need to establish minimal levels of thinking skills, such as a basic understanding of scientific falsification, data analysis, logic, systems theory, and if they are at the highest levels of leadership in their governments or organizations, they also will need to be trained in the new DMAP trained (dialectical metasystemic analysis and problem-solving.)

This way, the population can make better and more informed choices about the intelligence level and social, emotional empathy development level of those they elect or choose for critical positions. (Luckily, science has already laid out the highest levels of human cognitive, social-emotional, and moral development in the works of Abraham Maslow, Claire Graves, Robert Kegan, Lawrence Kohlberg, and Otto Laske.

Today's world does not need more aggressive, self-centered, and genetically confident stone-age alpha leaders. We need more of the new and evolved alpha leaders. 

To successfully solve the world's current challenges, societies must eventually remove all stone-age alpha leaders from their most crucial power positions. It must replace them with the best-educated, smartest, and most cognitively, socially, emotionally, and morally developed new alpha leaders, or humanity's prospects for long-term survival will be extremely low.

With these highly evolved new alpha leaders, we will have the leaders needed for today's complex world. They will be the leaders genuinely dedicated to using their skills and gifts to resolve our current problems in ways that genuinely improve the collective's overall wellbeing.

Reason 6: Evolved human psychology drives individuals toward self-centered individual survival

Humans cannot escape the numerous strong survival drives that have been hard-wired into them over millions of years of vertebrate evolution.

Due to the rapidity of messaging, we can't take the time to research and understand complex issues or operate the equipment correctly. To "cope," the human brain invents "shortcuts" - i.e., "superstitions" about what has been said or how things work. Because of the continual breakdown of equipment and interpersonal interactions and the rapid emotional media assault of messages, individuals believe they are being assaulted. The assaults are interpreted as "threats" by our evolved, self-centered personal defenses, which are designed for survival. They are direct attacks on our inherent concepts of individual freedom. Our "fight or flight" defenses evolved to deal with "tangible" adversaries. Our brain uses the invented superstitions to assign "blame" for their pain. The blame must have a "name"! This complexity and flawed language vs. freedom dichotomy directly explains the current extreme polarization of social groups, governments, and political beliefs.

Ironically, before science broke open our vast understanding of nature, the forces of nature, in the form of demons, were the most common culprits. With such thinking largely discredited, our made-up superstitions are now more often aimed at each other! These "selfish gene" drives lead to social conflict and violence. When confronted with this, society's response has gone from simple admonishment to putting people in prison or even putting them to death. The problem is that these drives run so deep that even this entire range of responses has failed. The results have been 12,000+ years of war and conflict. To achieve a peaceful and sustainable future, radically new approaches are necessary to balance the conflict between individual self-interest and community interests. A patchwork of fixes has not worked and will not work.

Reason 7: Our stone-age impaired brains are also being attacked and compromised by 4th generation mind control technology enabled by supercomputers, advanced algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI) surveillance and identification software, and today's social media and search platforms. This social media-enabled mind control attack of hidden manipulation is not only enhancing tensions but also polarizing people worldwide. It is also causing people to lose the ability to reason and distinguish between what is true and what is false. (This was described in full above in global crisis number 12.)

Reason 8: There is no realistic way that we will be able to slow accelerating global warming enough to prevent the mass extinction of much of humanity by mid-century for the many reasons found on this page.

Reason 9: Poor global heating education. Most of humanity does not understand these ten critical facts about the global warming emergency. They also misunderstand these eight crucial qualities of the global warming emergency.

For a dozen additional powerful reasons, humanity will most probably not be able to prevent climate collapse and mass to near-total extinction; see this page.

Solutions.

We are still working on our analysis of the most effective solutions for the 13 challenges listed above. However, at the very least, we believe that a new form of global governance will need to be established to address the above current transnational emergencies.

We have, however, concluded that existing governmental structures and current international organizations will not be able to do so in time to save humanity from mass extinction or worse. This new form of global governance must be able to create and enforce global law and punish violators. 

Notes

(Please note this section on 4th generation mind control was written by Lawrence Wollersheim, who himself was a victim of third-generation mind control in a cult. He was mentored in mind control technology by Dr. Margaret Singer, professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley, who was recognized as the world's leading authority on mind control and cults. Wollersheim also worked for 25 years with Singer in a nonprofit organization called FACTNet, which helped worldwide victims of third-generation mind control and cults understand what happened to them and restore their lives.
