still delaying, gaslighting, distracting and greenwashing. i wonder how they find people who are okay with doing this. that's some super villain level evil right there

I acknowledge I'm still a small part of the problem. Without abstaining from meat and oil products, I still contribute a small portion to the greenhouse gas problem that my child will have to deal with. Is it on the level of megacorps and millionaire and billionaire classes? No, but I'm not at a net zero yet.

With a plastic lid...

Yes

Don't forget all the disease, starvation, exposure, and once in a millennia weather events. Those will be equally big hitters.

You should vote for candidates who support sudden drastic changes to climate policy at every level of government.

Depends on local hazards. Here in Western Europe the main worries are rising sea levels, floods, water scarcity, and hot weather.

... So basically don't live too close to sea level (or hope the government will get real good at building dykes), become a homeowner and insulate as much as you can. At that point heat pumps and a solar setup should be enough to take the load off extreme weather events even if the economy goes to shit.

If you can't own your own home... well there's little you can do besides hope that rent remains affordable and that maybe sometime down the road enough people die that landlords are legally forced to insulate their properties (here in the EU some countries already freeze rent for badly insulated properties, but that was basically a reaction to the fear of freezing to death due to gas shortages...).

For other weather hazards like wildfires, tornadoes, and hurricanes... IDFK. There's some ways to protect your property, like fire breaks, tornado shelters, etc. but of course little incentive for slumlords to make an effort there either.

Wow it's like perfect timing to say it in this meta but learn how to grow beans dawg. You can grow up to 2000lbs of beans per acre. Dry beans don't lose all their nutritional value until about 5 years on the shelf. Protein dawg. Carbs dawg. Good start to the whole not dying thing should food insecurity hit your area.

I mean a bunker with replacement parts for a good sump pump ain't such a bad idea either if you can keep the power going.

Look at it like leveling up, with a list of worse and worse events that you're prepared for. Start small, prepare, then go one step bigger.

Ex: High winds, then lightning, then excessive heat or cold, then move to things like tornados, floods, etc. I don't think this exercise is ever completed.

The economy is a social construct. It can be reconstructed if we have the will. Either that or it will happen on it's own and recreate itself with what ever is left of society. If we want to have control we need to change.

Fusion. Fusion becoming physically and commercially viable is the only thing that will save us as a species.

That being said, capitalism will ensure that it’s a long fucked up road.

literally the basis and canon for the matrix movies
