It’s time to stop lamenting about it and start preparing for it. We can still slow it down, but there is no reversal in sight unless we have some major tech breakthroughs. It’s one reason I didn’t move to stay close to older family members who retired down in Florida and Texas. I can’t reasonably put my kids in that sort of dangerous climate environment and have them get attached to things that will be destroyed over the next couple decades.
What is your preparation approach? I have been considering similar things, but don't quite know how to go about it.
I moved to an area that, based on climate models, will have mostly moderate weather. I also have no reason to fear for clean fresh water because of 5 huge lakes near me lol. I’ve bought enough land here that I know my descendants will not have to worry about where to live.
I also plan on updating my home as much as possible to have as small a carbon footprint as possible. Solar panels for the future stressed out power grid I won’t worry. Heat pump for efficiency sake. Enough land to get some of my veggies on my own. I also eat food with small footprints as much as I can. Oat milk, no huge water wasters like almonds. Mostly the prep is living somewhere I know will be safe in the future.
That makes sense, thank you.
