Calthos's mission is to use the NEPA process to protect the environment by presenting to the public and decision makers the environmental impacts of proposals and alternatives in a scientific manner clearly defining the issues and providing a clear basis for choice among the options. We believe that all people and other sentient beings have the right to a safe and healthy environment. Increased global warming facts are irrefutable: glacial retreat, warming oceans, ocean acidification, sea level rise, declining Arctic Sea ice, extreme events, decreased snow cover, shrinking ice sheets, shrinking lakes, and global temperature rise since the late 19th century. According to NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratories, Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML) the average of smoothed seasonal curves and smoothed, de-seasonalized trends of daily mean CO2 data from the four GML Atmospheric Baseline observatories: Barrow, Alaska; Mauna Loa, Hawaii; American Samoa; and South Pole, Antarctica was 427.39 ppm on March 12, 2026. Global warming will impair those ecosystems, including the human environment, that cannot adapt quickly enough to the changes it causes. Global warming could be combated by incorporating greenhouse gas (GHG) and energy analyses through the NEPA process, although this will be more difficult without the CEQ NEPA Regulations, which were rescinded April 11, 2025. 
     The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, Purpose, Sec. 2: The purposes of this Act are: To declare a national policy which will encourage productive and enjoyable harmony between man and his environment; to promote efforts which will prevent or eliminate damage to the environment and biosphere and stimulate the health and welfare of man; to enrich the understanding of the ecological systems and natural resources important to the Nation; and to establish a Council on Environmental Quality.
