    I had pretty much this same thought just the other day. It’s so disheartening how oil companies and other industries managed to delay any significant changes that might have prevented this.

    Chinese and US militaries are both the biggest polluters on the entire planet, and yet I have to be the one making sacrifices such as fucking drinking from a floppy paper straw.

    I know, hence the quote on my profile:
    “It’s not the end of the world but you can see it from here.”

    So like… what actually should one be doing to prepare for this kind of stuff? Is the average emergency prep kit good enough or are there other things that can/should be done? (short of fully relocating because in this economy that’s not possible 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.
