Realizations in the Midwest
Coping
My wife and I are trying. We stopped using plastic bottles for water, we are down to one fuel efficient car, and we don't buy shit we don't need. Even opting out on using a fridge (no more dairy and meat). We also do numerous other things like keep power use to an absolute minimum. It saves energy and us some money.
The realization. It's not enough and no one will be prepared. The Midwest storms have generated so much moisture with humidity topping 100% relentlessly WITH THE NEXT 7 DAYS OF POTENTIALLY CONSTANT RAIN PREDICTED... Mold overtook our house right under our noses. We spent the week airing out and cleaning. Ended up throwing a lot away. So much waste with no way to recycle in our area and we all know recycling is a sham anyway.
An air conditioner has to run constantly, assisted by dehumidifiers with good air flow. Silica packets in every storage bin, moisture collectors in cabinents - All luxury we won't always have available. What if there is no power for extended periods of time in extremely humid locations? I'm sure tornado and flood stricken towns are dealing with domino rows worth of problems falling down in their lives right now. Or what if you are simply poor and can't afford to run air all the time? I never thought I'd have to deal with mold in a home without a basement (yes in the Midwest we are fucked if a tornado hits our house). All of this shit is taken for granted by everyone until they have to actually deal with the problem head on.
We plan to move back to our home state with family in a year, where we can help each other cope. I suggest others do the same.
Collapse is happening now and no one is prepared for the amount of problems that will and are currently piling up.

The coming atmosphere will be unlivable to humans and 99% of the species that exist now.
There will be no biome in which you could go outside and breathe anywhere. It'll be extremely hot and have little oxygen, and will probably be really radioactive.

Quote:The first two lines of that song diagnoses the problem: "Doctor doctor, what is wrong with me? This supermarket life, is getting long" Going for the cheapest price is killing us. The difference between paying 9.5¢ per kilowatt-hour for 100% Renewable versus 9.3¢ for totally not renewable. That 0.2¢ difference in price causes people to select planet destroying CO2 electricity. They won’t pay even a penny more to save the world. They think it is the smart move to pay less. Let somebody richer or dumber save the Earth.

Quote:Of course. Because we live in a system where "money talks" our policies and media will be geared towards feeding the wealthy (corporations, individual elites) not towards any rational policy of betterment for all (including future generations who literally have no voice at all.) Heck, our currency is entirely backed by oil (petrodollar) and at least a third of our military actions are aimed at supporting the petrodollar!

How can we fix it? How can we bring our collective interests to be reflected in local, state, national and international policies without them constantly being derailed, co-opted and monetized by the elites' interests?

U.S. biologists probe deaths of 70 emaciated gray whales:Many have little body fat, leading experts to suspect the die-off is caused by declining food sources in the dramatically warming waters of the northern Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea off Alaska.

Two die and nearly 600 taken to hospitals as heat wave roasts much of Japan

The mercury hit 39.5 degrees in the northeastern coastal Hokkaido town at 2:07 p.m. Sunday — the hottest at any observation point in Japan for the month, according to the Meteorological Agency. The previous record, set on May 13, 1993, was 37.2 degrees in Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture.
Temperatures had never before reached 35 C in Hokkaido in May or 38 C at any time of the year in the prefecture. The previous record high temperature recorded there was 37.8 degrees in the town of Otofuke on June 3, 2014, and in the city of Obihiro on July 12, 1924.
Temperatures climbed to 38.8 degrees in Obihiro and in the town of Ikeda on Sunday. The agency issued high temperature warnings across wide areas, from Hokkaido to the Kinki region, and called for caution against heatstroke.
Hokkaido Railway Co., or JR Hokkaido, canceled the operation of a number of trains, mainly those departing from and arriving at stations in the eastern part of Hokkaido, due to fears of rail distortion by the strong heat wave.
