​​A SIXTH EXTINCTION? WHY NOT?

​

Most of us have been impacted by climate change through higher food, fuel and insurance costs to destructive weather patterns, wildfires, flooding and drought, or increased asthma, COPD or other medical problems. More than 80% of Americans now agree the climate is changing rapidly (February 2026 national poll). The fossil fuel industry has continued pursuing profits and government has failed to take meaningful action. We worked inside the White House, lobbied congress, sued in federal court and even run for office with only more deferred promises of emissions reductions. While clean energy and emissions reductions remain essential for the future, we cannot get to that future without first fixing what is broken and removing greenhouse gas from the atmosphere. Right now, there is already so much carbon in the atmosphere a full emissions stop today would not save us from a sixth extinction event where somewhere around 6 billion of us starve, suffocate, overheat, drown, or die of disease or tribal violence. 

To make matters worse, while the establishment has spent the last 50 years researching and studying, Climate Change has begun triggering nearly 2 dozen feedback loops, accelerating planetary heating and its consequences. By 2035-40 these circular feedbacks - such as ocean currents failing to transport heat and creating more overheating of ocean currents - will be the primary driver of climate change. With the planet itself working against us, we will lose our ability to repair the problem. This is what we at CDF call the Climate Deadline. The only choice after that point will be to suffer and sandbag. We have 10 years to use wisely.

​​WE HAVE TEN YEARS TO FIX THIS 

​

With time in short supply, the Climate Deadline Foundation is taking its flagship SkyCarbon Blueprint directly to Big Tech. The Blueprint calls for combining AI Hyperscale Data Centers (HDC) and Direct Atmospheric Carbon Removal (DACR) facilities on clean power (geothermal, solar, wind) campuses. By fusing heat-hungry, coolant-producing DACR with heat-ejecting and coolant immersed HDCs on the same campus we can neutralize the cost, energy, power-loss and heat problems of each while creating thousands of jobs building product from recovered nature-neutral carbon.

TIME TO GO BIG OR GO HOME

​Reducing "carbon footprints" should not be our focus now. Not yet. First you clean up your mess, then start the new building. Only by first working collectively to repair the damage in the atmosphere can sustainability be realized. As the Climate Deadline Foundation reaches out to Hyperscale Data companies with our SkyCarbon Blueprint we need your assistance. An effort like this requires supplies, materials, computing time, travel expenses and personnel. This is what you can do now! Work at an airline, get us vouchers. Work at a car dealership, get us a vehicle. Have money, who else do you know who can restore a future for your grandchildren? Have skills, we need you! It doesn't have to be us. Maybe you know of another organization with a plan to upscale Direct Atmospheric Carbon Removal. Great, give them support but do it, do it big and do it now! We all have to work together. There is more at risk now than ever before in human history. We need to start acting like it.​​
