Great talk! Possibly a moot point though. We are now living in the age of the death spiral. Let’s instead call it the “Thanatoscene.” 2023 will go down as the year that the planet became terminal. The higher latitudes are warming much faster than the tropics. Big trouble is on the horizon in just about every part of the world. That said, the northern climes might be survivable. But it’s unpredictable, as we see springlike temperatures in winter in the upper Midwest and Northeast, and forest fires across Canada. What is most surprising is that even those who accept the evidence continue to misinterpret what global warming means: "Less alfalfa, less beef, xeriscaped lawns, new beachfronts, electric cars, no more skiing," and the list goes on. In fact, global warming means worldwide hunger. Period. End of story. Our industrial farming practices will collapse within our lifetimes. If you want to provide for your family and community, look at a map, try to predict where water will be most plentiful, buy a farm, rent a farm, become a farmer. Start in your backyard or on a community farm. It takes 10 years to become a competent farmer. Twenty in a hot drying/flooding world. When food becomes the currency, neither cash, your 401K, or real estate will put any food on the table. Electric Tesla semi-trucks cannot transport food that does not exist.

Things are now moving at Glacial Speed
