Solving the Climate Crisis Together
Where are we?
What is the true state of our world? Without sugar coating, denial, or alarmism, where are we?
—On one hand, life is beautiful. What a privilege sharing this precious gift of human life—at this amazing time in history. With all the opportunities, freedom, understanding, experiences, education, comforts, technologies, and luxuries available now, many of us in developed countries are the most privileged people in history.
We can consciously evolve and wake up—to the deeper truth and fullness of who we really are, and to living more of all that is possible in our individual lives. We can live extraordinary lives—fulfilling beyond what many people know is even possible. This path and process are known and available.
—At the same time, we face unprecedented escalating emergencies. The serious issues confronting us include extreme inequality, great human suffering, CO2 emissions and global warming, violence and wars, corrupt politics, corporate malfeasance and influence, environmental destruction, species extinction, overpopulation, extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and more. Our collective trajectory is on a collision course with catastrophe—possibly in our grandkid’s lifetime—unless we change our ways, rapidly and radically.
Of all this, the latest science and the daily news reveal the climate crisis as the mother of all global threats. Since it fundamentally affects everything, the climate crisis looms as the greatest economic, security, social, environmental, health, and moral issue of our time. Nothing else comes close. Everything else in the world, and the future, depends on how we respond now—in this brief window of time—to the escalating climate emergency. Humanity must wake up and take bold climate action!
—There is great hope. The world is waking up. We can turn things around. Instead of dooming and glooming, we can work together to implement the known solutions that will change our world. This is already happening.
As each of us, with our organizations—reduce our carbon footprints, it has a positive impact on the climate crisis—the core issue that affects everything else. We now know what to do about global warming. We already have enough of the needed technology and solutions. For example, we know how to rapidly convert all of civilization to 100% clean energy by 2050, or much sooner (more below). Together, we can ignite a Clean Energy Revolution.
We can and must make the great transitions needed to preserve our children’s future. The will is now arising and building in this global people’s movement—spreading everywhere. Now is the time we must get it done.
What unique contribution can you make? You are needed.

Our Planetary Emergency
We are the first generation of “planetary humans,” seeing and understanding the expansive vision of science, deep history, evolution, and our long developmental process. From this perspective, let’s look at where we are now. What is the story of our time?

Change, if it comes, will emerge through the leadership of millions of people creating a new cultural and institutional reality from the bottom up.

Very few people on earth ever get to say:
“I’m doing, right now, the most important thing I could possibly be doing.”
If you’ll join this fight, that’s what you’ll get to say.

Igniting a Clean Energy Revolution: We CAN do this!
Converting the world’s energy infrastructure for all purposes to one based on wind, water, and solar (WWS) power, is both technologically and economically feasible. Such a conversion would eliminate global warming and millions of air pollution related deaths each year while providing energy stability. However, such a conversion will require people to believe that this is an urgent goal and amalgamate behind the concept.
—Mark Z. Jacobson, Stanford University, Director of Atmosphere and Energy Program
