The assault on our ecosystems and oceans continues and CO2 topped 425 ppm in April 2023, It has become necessary to prepare and adapt communities for resilience and self-sufficiency. We are now in a two-degree global warming battle as described by the think tank JobOneForHumanrity.org. We must come together and set in motion a transition that gets governments and political parties to act on our behalf. There will be no tomorrow's bright future if we continue to follow the chants of mass media interests and their business as usual memes, unless we act unitedly . Indicate your support and interest in forming local hubs that are democratic forums for plans, projects (food) and mitigation. The time to prepare is now!
If we keep going as we are now, we will soon cross the next dangerous atmospheric carbon threshold of 425-450 ppm. This is the level where we enter the irreversible second phase of runaway global heating. Entering the second phase of runaway global heating will also cause the inescapable climate consequence of about half of humanity dying by about mid-century...
Define A Future - Join A Hub
Hubs are a network for local citizens to develop programs that mitigate, prepare and adapt to ongoing economic breakdown and the worsening impact of climate change. They will focus on food supplies as well as income measures such as a basic income as an interim measure. Hubs work in conjunction with other groups such as ClimateSafeVillages.org in readiness for a transition and a future, defined by democratic forums. Hubs interact with local government to set in motion cooperative endeavor to revitalize communities, - out of the difficult times ahead. Hubs are conducted by Assistants and Members who work for the well being of communities in the spirit of social service as well as building sustainable enterprises. Business as usual is no longer an option and change is coming!
Use the form alongside to develop local groups and strengthen our community voice as we mitigate, prepare and adapt. Indicate if you would like to be an assistant using the 'radio button.'
Questions To
Due to a heating lag factor and no fundamental change in 60 years, many of those who are tuned into climate change matters are not fully aware we are in a race for survival as the breakdown of economies and runaway global warming takes hold. Desperation will grow as citizens turn their attention to security and survival matters. Volunteer social service helps local communities understand and prepare as crises gathers momentum. As things stand we are headed towards a total disaster scenario and have a decade at most to prepare communities for mitigation and a transition. JAH draws your attention to Plan B by Job One For Humanity think tank on climate change as one solution, climate=safe projects and Integrated Development Schemes by JAH for a bright future. Comprehensive information will become available about Hub-Schemes and how we meet human needs and generate resilience.

Letter#1 At:-
Fee & Dividend Program
Create a revenue-neutral, Fee and Dividend-based atmospheric carbon reduction program.
The Fee and Dividend plan will work because it puts a price on carbon fossil fuel use equal to their environmental damage and accomplishes this through market economy mechanisms. The Fee and Dividend plan’s rising fee on carbon pollution incentivizes a rapid shift from toxic fossil fuels to clean green energy. Its direct dividend payments to all those individuals, companies, and nations that reduce their fossil fuel use are the profit motive and self-interest key that will strongly incentivize the rapid transition to green energy generation essential to our survival... this can be discussed in the forum section.

"Radical simplification" will soon be forced upon us, but it will not involve going back to the land to grow food. At least not for most. The primary concerns needed for survival are, in brief, (1) sustainably managing infrastructural systems, (2) equitably and sustainably providing the basic necessities of life (food is but one necessity), (3) establishing viable systems or currency or exchange and access to capital, and (4) nurturing community and solidarity. One of the key topics for community gatherings.

REPLY TO: Questions to ChatGPT on Climate Change and Collapse by Craig Walter
Dated 18/04/2023
Please explain the major factors leading to the collapse of society?
The collapse of a society can have many complex and interrelated causes, but some of the major factors that have historically contributed to societal collapse include:
-
Environmental degradation: When a society's environment is degraded beyond its ability to support human populations, it can lead to food and water shortages, disease, and other forms of social instability.
-
Resource depletion: The depletion of natural resources, such as fossil fuels, timber, or minerals, can lead to economic instability and social unrest.
-
Economic instability: Economic instability can be caused by a variety of factors, such as inequality, corruption, or unsustainable levels of debt.
-
Political instability: Political instability can be caused by a breakdown in the rule of law, corruption, or widespread conflict.
-
Social inequality: When a society's wealth and power are concentrated in the hands of a few, it can lead to widespread social unrest and instability.
-
Cultural decline: When a society's cultural values and traditions are eroded or abandoned, it can lead to a loss of social cohesion and a breakdown in social norms.
-
External factors: Societies can also be impacted by external factors such as climate change, natural disasters, or wars.
Human Reply
ChatGPT is unable to access expert knowledge in relevant books such as 'An Inconvenient Apocalypse' or 'Transition To A New Era' which predict further breakdown and then a sudden collapse of capitalism by its own hands. References to the severe breakdown of the USSR and communism have not been cited and therefore do not align with the category of collapse.
One major factor left out by ChatGPT is war between belligerent power elites, which disrupts supply chains and leads to other critical energy shortages such as oil supplies, which are consumed at around 90 million barrels per day world wide. A disruption to the supply of computer chips from Taiwan would have a devastating impact on technological structures and hasen a metacrisis. Although ChatGPT sees a combination of factors that lead to economic breakdown, little mention is made of the impact of rising CO2 and methane emissions causing runaway global warming, leading to mass migration and extinction events. CO2 reached an new all time record in mid April of 424.6 ppm and ChatGPT refers to the 417 ppm level in 2017.
The terms 'ecocide' and 'sixth mass extinction,' which are underway now, are also missing from the analysis by ChatGTP. This includes the worsening condition of our oceans, where 90% of all large fish have already been taken and delicate the alkaline level is under threat.
Link: Most Critical Global Challenges https://tinyurl.com/46kyfvct
Summary:
Due to a combination of resource depletion, global warming, environmental destruction: mutual belligerence and warfare, supply chain disruption, ecocide, and massive debt by countries such as the USA whose currency is also weakening, brings forth an unfolding scenario of continual breakdown and likely collapse.
Do you think climate change can lead to the collapse of society and why?
Yes, I believe that climate change can contribute to the collapse of society, as it can exacerbate several of the factors that have historically led to societal collapse.
Firstly, climate change can lead to environmental degradation, such as droughts, flooding, and other extreme weather events that can impact food and water supplies, leading to resource depletion, and social instability.
Secondly, climate change can also lead to economic instability. For example, it can lead to the loss of jobs in industries that are heavily impacted by climate change, such as agriculture and fisheries. Additionally, the costs of adapting to climate change can be very high, and this can place a significant burden on both individuals and governments.
Thirdly, climate change can exacerbate political instability, as it can lead to increased competition for resources, mass migration, and conflicts over territory and resources.
Fourthly, climate change can also worsen social inequality. For example, low-income communities and vulnerable populations, such as indigenous communities, are often disproportionately impacted by the impacts of climate change.
Overall, climate change is a complex and multi-faceted issue, and its impacts on society are likely to be far-reaching and long-lasting. Addressing climate change requires a concerted effort from individuals, governments, and organizations worldwide to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop more sustainable ways of living.

Climate change is the number one factor leading to tipping points sooner rather than later. In fact, CO2 reaching 425 ppm and beyond is happening faster than climate change scientists have predicted, and a new record was reached recently. ChatGTP has not referenced organisations such as the think tank on climate change, www.joboneforhumanity.org, and their comprehensive research, which states unequivocally, half of humanity will perish as a result of not taking radical action to reduce emissions, and the reason this group is preparing eco-communities to give communities a fighting chance of survival. Another critical matter not mentioned is the rise of methane levels and as we now enter a methane emergency.

What are the consequences in a time frame scenario of CO2 levels reaching 430 parts per million by 2030?
Reaching a CO2 concentration of 430 parts per million (ppm) by 2030 would have significant consequences for the Earth's climate system, which would likely manifest over decades and centuries.
Here are some of the potential consequences:
-
More extreme weather events: Higher CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere can lead to increased warming of the Earth's surface, which can result in more frequent and intense heatwaves, droughts, and extreme precipitation events.
-
Sea level rise: Higher CO2 concentrations can contribute to the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, leading to sea-level rise, which can cause flooding and erosion in coastal regions.
-
Biodiversity loss: Climate change can impact ecosystems and wildlife, leading to habitat loss and increased extinction rates.
-
Impacts on human health: Higher temperatures and more extreme weather events can have a range of negative impacts on human health, including increased risk of heat-related illnesses, respiratory problems, and the spread of vector-borne diseases.
-
Economic impacts: Climate change can have significant economic impacts, including property damage from extreme weather events, impacts on agriculture and food production, and increased costs associated with adaptation and mitigation efforts.
It's important to note that the impacts of climate change are not limited to these factors alone and can have significant consequences for global stability, political systems, and social inequality.
Given these potential consequences, it is critical that steps are taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit the effects of climate change. This will require global cooperation, political will, and significant investments in renewable energy and sustainable development.
Human Reply
Not a bad summation. However, the situation is critical with very limited time to bring a radical correction of emissions and another reason we are headed towards further calamities and the mass extinction events. The stranglehold of mass media supporting commercial interests and greed driven agendas is another reason we are in big trouble.
What is your estimate on when global warming will reach 1.5 degrees Celsius and is it already locked in?
The timing of when global warming will reach 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels depends on a variety of factors, including future greenhouse gas emissions, natural climate variability, and the effectiveness of efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change. However, many climate scientists estimate that global warming could reach 1.5 degrees Celsius between 2030 and 2052 if current emission trends continue.
It is important to note that even if we were to reduce global emissions to zero today, we would still experience some degree of warming due to the long-term persistence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Therefore, some level of warming is already "locked in" and will continue even if emissions are drastically reduced in the coming years.
However, the degree of future warming depends on our actions today. The more we reduce greenhouse gas emissions and invest in sustainable practices and technologies, the less severe the impacts of climate change will be. Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will require significant and sustained efforts from individuals, governments, and organizations worldwide to reduce emissions and promote a more sustainable future.
Human Reply
JobOneForHumanity.org and groups such as the Climate Emergency Forum (Youtube) with their scientific basis, demonstrate that 1.5 degrees Celsius of global warming are already locked in due to a lag factor of around six years and we are now in a 2 degree global warming battle. In that respect, it is already 'too late' and the best we can do is mitigate things and prepare for breakdown. Declarations of 'emergencies' have not led to fundamental change, nor are we prepared for what is on the horizon. ChatGPT is a 'machine' that does not know it exists, run by very clever algorithms similar to many machine translation systems that provide shallow outcomes and have an inherent bias.
While bringing more automation to our lives that could have benefits in for society as a whole, systems such as ChatGTP can do little to improve the way we form cooperative structures and overcome critical problems having to do with our collective existence. So far, we have failed to change direction in a manner that matters and bring a sustainable foundation that works for all.
