Hi Ivan,

As I write in the article: "That doesn’t mean give up! I’m not advocating for apathy or fatalism. We all need to be pulling our weight to try and get things to stay out of the three-to-four degree range, which would be absolutely catastrophic."

Prepping is the development of self-reliance. As they write in their book An Inconvenient Apocalypse, Wes Jackson and Robert Jensen rightly point out hat just by being "on the grid," we're all a part of the problem.

So things like growing and storing food, hunting, and powering your life off grid has multiple benefits -- weaning you off the consumer system while helping to mitigate the overall problem. And in this article, I'm suggesting that climate alarm will grow to the point that many more people are buying up land and survival items, etc., so why not get started now?
