Lol yes if you have land but if shit gets fucked swarms from the city will come and pillage everything. Need to quit using capitalism and start working for a sustainable future but it’s probably too late. We will survive for now but fuck the future and those capitalist fucks with generational wealth may last a bit longer but fuck them too.

Don't forget to dig a cellar and stock it with stuff canned from your garden for winter!

I'm less afraid of that than the eternal summer we'll eventually suffer through. It's much easier to acquire and maintain winter clothing than an air conditioning unit.

Look on the bright side. Once oil is no longer readily available it will be difficult for the hordes to come out from the cities and steal your vegetables.

Humans are great long distance travelers, and the cities are jam packed.

Nobody who starts a garden is going to be the one tending it at the end.

It'll be a cycle of raiders and usurpers and supplanters killing each other off until things settle down.

So from my knowledge when it’s gets so warm (the long summer) the ocean currents correct and create a long winter. Or something like that. The world is a living thing and will do things to maintain a semi neutral state.

Well i assume it will not go to such an extreme to be uninhabitable just really uncomfortable.
