Good question, but there are answers. Consider where to live if you have the option to move.
For example, if you live in Florida, how soon will high insurance costs force people to leave? Should you leave ahead of the panic? If you live in a danger zone and your home is in a part of town that's dense with people, would another part of town, less populated, have easier access to food in an emergency?
I wouldn't stockpile food, but I'd think about cutting expenses and stockpiling money. I'd certainly be watching the news to see if something's obvious to you that's not obvious to others.
I think the bottom line is, in an emergency — there are lots of kinds — how to stay safe? And if there's no real danger where you are, like the middle of Negraska for example, good for you. But assess.
Speaking of emergencies, at some point what's going on in Gaza, DC-supplied, could easily come home. Hasn't happened yet, and it may not, but I'd be shocked if there weren't some kind of retribution aimed at the US somewhere down the line.
Thank god I don't live in Florida and am unlikely to be dragged there. I just don't think long term there's any way to be "prepared" because we have no idea what's actually going to happen or when, just that it's probably going to be bad. My money is and almost always has been on a slow ratcheting of quality of life downwards, for things to get just a bit worse every year, and so far I have not been disappointed (although from a different perspective I am very disappointed, indeed).
On February 2, 2023 I had a brief discussion with Astrophysicist Gordon Fulks. We talked about the
weather. He said January was warmer than February would be, seemingly a contradiction of the seasons. With February weather in the history books turned out he was right because the Earth has an elliptical orbit. Our current orbit has us further from the sun in February 2023 than it was in January of 2023. I don’t suppose an executive order or a cap n trade tax can correct that. To help me understand, Gordon emailed this chart. It covers the last 800,000 years of climate data derived from ice core samples and the study of celestial movements.
From the chart you can see that:
1. Elliptical orbits, at the height of eccentricity, coincide with very cold ice ages.
2. We are in the Holocene Climate Optimum, a time of minimal orbit eccentricity. That is expected to continue for about another 10,000 years.
3. Periods of high CO2 follow periods of high volcanic activity as evidenced by volcanic dust detected in the ice core samples. Banning gas stoves isn’t going to affect CO2 numbers.
4. The blue line on top shows that the amount of solar radiation experienced at the polar regions varies with differing levels of Sun activity and changing atmospheric conditions. Fretting about the amount of ice at either the North or South Pole won’t change a thing.
As our solar system moves within our galaxy and our galaxy along with trillions of other galaxies moves around within the Universe we need to sit back, enjoy the ride and just be grateful for this gift of life on Earth. It’s time to realize that human activity is a product of nature and will never be its master /CLIMATE WEATHER/NWO - eliptical orbits.pdf
Good Day - A couple of Statemensts that drive the fear agitprop of Climate: 1. “No matter if the science of global warming is all phony... climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.”- Christine Stewart, former Canadian Minister of the Environment.
2. “The data doesn’t matter. We’re not basing our recommendations on the data. We’re basing them on the climate models” Prof. - Chris Folland, Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research.

“Christianity is our foe. If animal rights is to succeed, we must destroy the Judea- Christian Religious tradition.” - Peter Singer, founder of Animal Rights.
“Nature is my god. To me, nature is sacred; trees are my temples and forests are my cathedrals.” - Mikhail Gorbachev, Green Cross International
“I pledge allegiance to the Earth and all its sacred parts. Its water, land and living things and all its human hearts.” - Global Education Associates, The Earth Pledge.
“Sustainable Development” is in most simple terms: “A process” created with engineered crisis, being elevated through repeated declarations of pseudo-facts, ( often inaccurate) with a “pre-ordained solution” designed from the beginning.
Well said on the "scientists are concerned" point. The Guardian is usually considered to be the only outlet covering climate, but you are right -- the tone of this article should be "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!" not, "Some scientists have uncomfortable emotions." It reminds me of the twisting pains that NYTimes and others to say, "Palestinians experienced an explosion" etc.
The climate situation demands a political radicalism that scientists and mainstream journalists are not capable of. We must demand petrocommunism (and check out my substack if you've never heard of petrocommunism)
This is gong to be an extinction level event, thanks to the enormous cognitive dissonance we are subject to. Civilisation is moving into injury time, so we need to start doing something about the nuclear power stations. If we don’t collectively come out of our denial and make decommissioning these a priority, or at least tending to them for thousands of years, there won’t be anywhere on the planet that escapes the fall out.
>I’d consider being prepared.
How, exactly? What is anyone realistically supposed to *do* to "be prepared?"

True with one caveat. Prepare for discontinuities, sudden drops. No one said this would be linear through to the end.
