These days I am very active in the FaceBook group, Near Term Human Extinction Support Group. After reading Guy McPherson and Robin Westenra I had an aha moment and realized that all the years of prepping and building my doomstead don't mean shit because of run away climate change and global warming. I have spent the last decade preparing for a world made by hand. However, it is useless when climate change totally messes up your growing season. Last year, I had no stone fruit in my orchard because of a hard freeze in May killing the blossoms. The only fruit I had were asian pears. My vegetable garden did fine and I was able to preserve food for the winter (we grow about 70% of the food we eat.)

I consider the LATOC members here to be my long term friends, sharing a common purpose. However, it is all turning to shite because you can't prep for 140 degree summers.

Peak oil is so last decade. NTHE is the new black.
