Well thank you for that very thoughtful response! Just a couple quick follow-on questions.
- Bioregion
- Temperature and Precipitation: I was able to confirm the bioregion changes you mentioned by loading the IPCC climate models in google earth here: https://archive.google.com/landing/cop15/
but it's old(2007). Since then, we've discovered that methane from permafrost in Siberia and the arctic are accelerating climate change and methane is 30x better at trapping heat than CO2, and 100x better over 5 years. So now that we have warming, we get more methane. With more methane we get more heat. It's a runaway condition. I don't know if anybody has corrected the model for this new data? Also I wasn't able to confirm a sea level rise of 75ft, but I did find 7.5 ft and worst case of 23ft. - Migration: It's already underway. The Southern drought states like CA are all moving north to OR, WA, etc. I don't know how bad it will get? Where are we along the collapse stages? I would put us in stage 3.
- [x] Stage 1: Financial collapse. Faith in “business as usual” is lost.
- [x]Stage 2: Commercial collapse. Faith that “the market shall provide” is lost.
- [x]Stage 3: Political collapse. Faith that “the government will take care of you” is lost.
- [ ]Stage 4: Social collapse. Faith that “your people will take care of you” is lost.
- [ ]Stage 5: Cultural collapse. Faith in “the goodness of humanity” is lost.
5 Bees: Do you think Warre hives surrounded by lots of flowering things will be sustainable in the long run?
I don't accept that we won't make it out of this. Have you seen the research on anti-ageing? It's quite possible we may live a very long time. There's also that whole exponential technology artificial intelligence thing. Do you think that people don't care about climate change because they think they will be dead long before it becomes a problem? Perhaps if they thought they were going to be around to see it, the light bulb might go on?
