This is the climate crisis. I will tell you these scenarios are going to become more frequent and will overwhelm most if not all emergency measures civilization has put in place. Imagine a population of people in a food desert looking to McDonald's for their regular meals at least once a day. Then a severe storm comes and there is no way to get to McDonalds and when available every bit of food is sold and/or stolen. How are people going to survive?
I am sure most college folks know the the phenomena of Easter Island. They did not survive and it was due to the lack of food. They created all sorts of godly scenarios, but, ulitmately none of their god worship saved them.
Think of civilization as many potential Easter Islands. Then look at the solutions. McDonalds would probably form a method to fly supplies into a distressed area to provide food to people. Right? I think it was Dominos that stepped up their humanitarian principles in the past and fed people and they did that for one reason, to save others. To save their customers.
Realize now that flying planes into distressed areas releases carbon and/or greenhouse gases into the air and further complicates the very effect that is causing the distress in the first place.
What is humanity going to do to address these problems? How is the climate crisis suppose to end so long as the emissions of greenhouse gases continues to rise? Is the end game basically the end of human survival?
I ask these questions, not to be cruel or set up some distopian political game, but, because this is all real and no one is dealing with it.
Earth's history and its recovering into ice ages NEVER had this many people practicing consumerism that emits greenhouse gases. NEVER before has Earth been so challenged and it has physics, not a conscience.
