1. Spring is here, and seeds are in the ground. But what if, a year from now, all the weather patterns our food system takes for granted were suddenly different?

2. 1- Anticipating this problem would be tantamount to acknowledging global warming and its apocalyptic effects. Which would have consequences. Social economic

   2- these consequences would call into question the capitalist model and the development model of multinationals. Multinationals that are worth billions and billions of dollars.

   At what point will these predators, thirsty for money, power and power, say: “Okay, for the good of humanity, I’ll stop my business and move towards a sustainable and virtuous model, giving up billions upon billions in profits”.
   As for the political forces, they are either complicit or falsely critical.

   So, no, we won’t be anticipating disasters, or perhaps only cosmetically, at the margins.

3. Because the ‘planning committee’ is very adept at getting us into these predicaments, but rather useless on getting us out of them.

4. Build a indoor greenhouse in a closet or basement. Get solar panels on the roof and try and be close a water source that you can use to water those plants. Get an ebike with a nice sized trailer on the back to take gear back and forth.

5. because the rich have decided this problem is not solvable or not worthy to be solved, they’ve got their chairs once the music stops playing

6. Cuz we’re a failed species?

7. I’m working on it

8. Justin Trudeau has a plan and it’s very effective…

9. Because it’s not an issue the generation of people in power will be around to experience, therefore they do not care.

10. The “year without a summer” happened after a volcanic eruption in the 19th century. There should already be contingency plans for that situation.

11. You mean “*When* the AOC breaks down?”
