My tongue-in-cheek answer to this question would be 'my genetic heritage' since that has 'survived' - nay, thrived - through far larger threats than that posed by the current iteration of the changing climate. Glaciation, really lethal pandemics, murderous hordes from the east, volcanic winters, you name it - Homo Sapiens came, saw, and conquered. We're a really adaptable species with a knack for solving problems.
A more down-to-earth answer is that I do not need a 'climate change survival strategy' just like I do not need an 'ice age survival strategy' or an 'asteroid strike survival strategy'. Yes, the climate changes just like it always has. It was warmer in the 1930's - the Dust Bowl years - than it is now, it was colder during the little ice age, it was drier. it was wetter, it was whatever you care to name and will be in the future. Add to that that I live on a 17th century farm which is heated by wood only - which I also use for cooking - and has access to a well which has never run dry in known history, with a 15 kW solar array on one of the barns and enough acreage to satisfy our needs we're well prepared for whatever comes our way.
