Are you preparing for the inevitable break down of society due to not reducing our impact on the planet?
Mass water shortages, decline in arable land, rising sea levels, mass migration, regional conflicts most likely involving nuclear weapons, disruption of the global economy are all coming in the next few decades. We are seeing the beginning of the end.
Yes
it doesnt happen like that, its a slowburn situation and you're a dumb nigger
Fake news. Climate Change isn't real.
How slow do you think it will be? Because we are already starting to see the effects. Poorer countries are already suffering.
Are you a betting man?

>water shortages
So tell me, where exactly does the water go. I imagine a lot of people think it just disappears when you use it.
>what is drought
earthobservatory.nasa.gov
Earth is 70%water by surface area, but of that water only 2.5% is not saltwater.
OF THIS only 1% is readily accessible (1% of 2.5%. In other words 0.025% of all water on earth), the rest being trapped in glaciers or snowfields.
You might think 'boy we sure do have a lot of water' but water must be accessible and drinks or to be useful.
and drinkable*
Ressources arent real... its all a lie... beneath earth everything is unlimted!!!!
Aquifers can also be used up faster than they replenish
sciencedaily.com
Also, a large percentage of that fresh water that isn't melting into the ocean is polluted.
We may be able to develop large scale water desalination plants, but it's unlikely to be provided to the countries that are going to be hit the hardest in the coming decades.
Aslong i wake up and tendies on table. Porn folder is sorted and i slam my meat. Aslong i go to mcD and my meal is served my walmart got the mt dew super xzl bottles. Aslong my neetchecks come with the post and aslong girls like me as cute 450lbs guy.
Its all good and fuck you op dont be a fgt
the only thing you can do is encourage/promote responsible sustainable usage of resources to everyone you can
Corn yield is projected to be down 19% this year in the us. Beef prices are about to jump.
I've got 22 ounces of gold in the safe. 400 ounces of silver. Grow/raise most of what I consume. The bank doesnt own my house. The bank doesnt own my land.
I have running water on the back property and a 125 foot well. I'm sitting on top of the largest aquifer in the US. My solar panels are just powerful enough to run my well if I keep everything else off all day.
I'm not too bad. What have you done
>I'm sitting on top of the largest aquifer in the US.
you do realize if there were to be a water crisis they would just drill multiple wells and divert that water else where, right...you are not isolated moreover you are foolish if you think you can survive the impending storm living under a fucking rock
That and also earth is flat.
I'm in a better spot than a naysayer such as yourself.
Rain catchment system is on the list for upgrading. I'm at 400 gallons reserve right now. I'd like to be at 2000.
I've got a few hundred gallons of propane, but my friends have a 500 gallon diesel tanks so I'm probably gonna go that route in the next few years.
>there isn't already a water crisis. Most large cities draw from reservoirs as desalination on large scale is not remotely efficient enough with current technology to quench the thirst of 200 million people, 500 million head of livestock, billions of plants... what are the water levels of the reservoirs that feed these large cities? Where are the massive pipelines draining the ogallala?
>there aren't already millions of people using it directly or depend on it indirectly anyways.
It's called diversification. I have 3 water sources.
you're a complete fool and have no idea what you're truly dealing with as it relates to climate change.
I am an unskilled, overweight moron with no disposable income, studying an useless mehatronics course. I prepared by finding a tall, ungarded, semi built building off of which I can jump.
What should I be doing to further insulate myself from inevitable fluctuations in services?
I save money, not currency
I have water and can get more without help
I make most of my food
No one is coming to take my house or land or car when I cant make payments.
I have easy fuel to cook with for a while, and a less easy, nearly indefinite, source of hardwood to burn. My entire property is covered in oak.
good job, user, i have resources as well, but i am not prepped for long term survival. Having a small pond on farmland is a good family heirloom
It's a lifestyle for sure. I'm still entirely dependent on the grid for maintaining my daily standard of living, but at least if shit ever goes south I wont starve or freeze instantly. God I hope the shit show keeps rolling for the next 30 years till I can die naturally and not have to deal with collapse.
I will starve to death, one suicide with no topping .. Please and thank you
global warming creates more arable land, not less, you dolt
in the meantime, my and my county (we're in CT) are prepared with stockpiles of canned food, plenty of ammo, and routine paramilitary training
the secessionist movement here is growing by the day
citation please
I'm all set
>muh climate change!
>the ice caps melting oh no think of the polar bears!
>but wait there's no water anymore!
>all the water trapped in the ice caps!
>but muh ice caps are melting releasing more water!
>but there's no water anymore cuz climate change!
>but all the water in the ice caps is released cuz muh climate change!
>but there's no more water cuz muh climate change!
>but look at all the water causing coastal flooding cuz muh climate change!
>but there's no more water!
you fucking idiots sound like retarded 5 year olds
What percentage of people are directly supported by desalination? What percentage of livestock is directly supported by desalination? What percentage of farmland is irrigated directly from desalination?
Minuscule %, that's correct.
You're not smarter than a 5 year old apparently.
>freshwater supplies aren't already near critically low levels in the US
>china and India are in a better position with regards to freshwater than the US.
There's nothing to do.
Changes will not happen tomorrow, we'll sed this coming.
Stop being an alarming aw and continue trolling facebook.
Nope. I figure why bother? We all die sooner or later. No point in prepping for the end.
ll be ok because I'm assuming Australia will mostly benefit from climate collapse. The Northern hemisphere will be ruined much more fully and irreversibly. Australia will just become more fertile and have some cool new beaches, especially in the interior, leading to more temperate weather and higher capacity for sustaining populations of the new Australian master race
in fact it's better if it's sooner in many ways. The likelihood of the climate bouncing back is higher if the change is rapid. If it does just continue changing at the slow pace we see now then we will probably keep adapting and continue to pollute forever
nearly all the fresh water supplies in india and china are contaminated with industrial or other human activity
austrailia has steadily increasing heat waves, drought and massive wildfires, also not to mention the almost unimaginable area of death as it relates to the great barrier coral reef
everyone is fucked, no matter where you are
saudi arabia just finished building the largest desalination plant on the earth a few years back and qatar from what i can recall is doing some interesting experiments capturing water from the atmosphere using minimal energy. (of course this technology is a long way away from being implemented on a massive scale, but its a very interesting concept)
sure...
its really not a good idea to advance climate change at a faster rate than evolution can account for as it relates to other earthlings, rest assured other life will survival however humanity will likely dwindle away unless massive global efforts are put in place (it could be possible if things get bad enough, which is incredibly stupid if that is what it takes for us to realize this)
it's still like 25 to 80 years off.
If you think climate change will cause you to have a slow and painful death, why don't you just kill yourself now and skip the agony?
Australia is already 90% uninhabitable. Climate change will make it 99%.
