  My professional advice is to not be any of those things when shit hits the fan.

      Have tried being a millionair? That seems to make problems go away quite easily.

        Yeah I would still be ill but it would be “oh that sucks and I can afford it” not “my survival is constantly on the line”.

        I prefer being a millionearth since I walk to places.

        Those dumbasses build their houses right on the beach, they will ultimately be hit very hard by climate change.

      My professional advice is that i expect someone who is involved in environmental prepper groups would be the most protected from climate catastrophe/have the best access to protection when shit hits the fan.

      Controversial opinion: I also don’t think shit will hit the fan too bad except for certain countries. But the USA, or parts of it, might be one of those countries. And a lot of nations are at risk.

      So maybe neither of these things are whitepilling depending on what your illness is and where you live. But i tried

        Hard to be in an environmental prepper group if you’re too disabled/chronically ill to leave your bed haha. I’ve just accepted if shit really hits the fan I’m dying.

  When it comes to climate change I’m not sure. We on the poor side of the world already live in a constant crisis and adaptation and drastically changing our way to live might not hit us as hard as for people in first world countries who are used to a high dependence on industry and globalization. In fact, we’re already slowly adapting without most people even noticing.

    100% but what you neglect to mention is the poorer world already has far higher mortality rates. This will only make it worse.

      That’s true :(

    I tend to agree that developped countries tend to underestimate the fragility of their systems. But then there still are simple facts like if you spend 10% of your income on food, you can afford significant food price hikes. If you spend 70% of income on food, then a small rise is already lethal.

      True, but on the other hand, if international trade diminishes, we’re on the food production side. The places who depend on imports will be hit much harder.

        we also tend to have some sort of stockpiles, like the fucking american cheese reserve
