Prepare for food scarcity, lack of drinking, water and increasingly unpredictably worse storms. flooding which is the worse I feels due to the contamination (brown zones, etc) of all that goes into the water in the areas which flood and look at the real reporting of flooding happening this week alone in Spain, France, SEA, SW US, etc on other Reddits that talk to that bc it’s vastly under reported in MSM.

The AMOC is only one of many tipping points along with the methane issue that’s getting worse as of the last couple years, the collapse of recent ice sheet in Antarctica and others in future, the similar and prob equally devastating issue of a blue ocean event among other tipping points like the South American forests no longer acting as carbon sinks. Even if we reduce fossil fuel usage remember that the burning of them has a Net gain and reduction in solar energy reaching the earth, so stopping fossil fuels must be paired with aerosol making others the net gain actually heats the planet further bc no fuels burnt means no particles in air reflecting solar and the planet will be warmer. So no easy solutions. Plus, how can you reduce fossil fuels without crashing the economy. Look up how fun degrowth would be and how much is needed to solve the problem as it’s like 50% or less of forget fossil fuel use and that would collapse the economy easily before that level was reached.

I think at one point one have to consider as with all this that these effects of climate change are not linear but exponential in how they take place and considering that there is a decent delay between cause in burning fossil fuels and its effect on climate along with multiple other tipping points working in tandem that one might consider this is quite possibly past a point of fixing it before say 3-4 degrees increase is already baked in when we are at about 1.5 deg now and look how bad it has become… so prep is smart for solutions should be focused on to avoid very adverse weather when it happens, and having stable and regenerative sources of potable water and food for the near and foreseeable future that you manage yourself…

but honestly at this point (we should have acted in the 1980s when we knew these things or earlier..) it is quite possible that one might consider just enjoying the time we have now bc by the end of this decade and very likely the next decade 2040- mid century, the world we know now will seem like a dream that we will miss by comparison. Sorry to ask especially those who have kids bc there’s lots of not good info on what’s to come.

Check out the other Reddits on climate change, etc, read the IPCC reports and studies out, Paul Beckwith, the recent report in last year by longterm climatologist about how they underestimated water vapor effects, and other such types, or deep adaptation info out there Jem Bendell, etc. it looks not great folks..
