I've gotten a vasectomy exactly because it's clear that some of the worst outcomes of human-created climate change are inevitable, and I recommend anyone who cares about the environment and the well-being of their potential children to do the same.
My only question is what to do when the world actually ends in 10 or so years. I'm thinking of quitting my job in SF and moving to a rural area in northern midwest far from the oceans, but I haven't been able to get my family or friends to join me. I'm worried about the ahem political affiliations of those areas as well.
Does anybody have a good plan for what to do when the worst disasters occur? Like food shortages?
- SolaceQuantum 7y agoWouldn't diving into the world of doomsday preppers assist you in planning? (I mean, stereotyping aside that they're all crackpots or w/e surely they'd be useful for the literal thing they're trying to do.)

- BurningFrog 7y agoI'm sad about how many people destroy their lives because of Climate Change alarmism. I wonder how many suicides are provoked by it, for example?
- ovi256 7y agoEncouraging the people concerned with the long term future to not have children is basically an amazing plan a super-villain could come with to ensure there will significantly less opposition to climate change in the next generation. Well done.

- kolbe 7y agoOne problem with this is the exact type of person who would think to do this is probably the type of person we need more of. An Idiocracy will be even worse for the environment.
