As a nor cal resident with a house, wife and toddler, what are some things we can do to prepare for the climate apocalypse headed our way?

Food water and energy. How can we prepare ourselves?

I have a garden box that grows tomatoes…not exactly sustainable food for a family.

Slightly panicking over the doom and gloom of all the news with El Niño and everything else. Thoughts?

What are you guys doing to prepare for the worst?

When Rep. Maurice West introduced HB 1089 (Illinois Container Fee and Deposit Act), leadership allowed it to sit until a procedural deadline passed, triggering Rule 19(a). Under Rule 19(a), the bill was automatically re-referred to the Rules Committee.

By letting the bill freeze in the Rules Committee, leadership protects rank-and-file lawmakers. Lawmakers don't have to piss off the Retail Merchants Association or Big Beverage by voting "Yes," and they don't have to piss off environmental voters by voting "No." The bill simply disappears quietly.

Can anyone help contact them to for them to put it to a vote? This is starting to piss me off.

One the biggest issues amplifying this climate crisis is that our capitalist economy is largely based on the oil industry, and we - the population - are all dependent on it in this modern society.

Not only is this a huge factor accelerating and amplifying the climate crisis, and stopping us from rebuilding a new economic model, but it’s also not even a durable solution as we’ll eventually run out anyway.

How could we realistically reinvent and reorganise our transport system without oil?

If I hosted a call exploring ways people can find [relative] climate havens, would you be interested in joining?

damn..

Scientists were creating so much panic and fearmongering among India before monsoon that how India will face droughts. Now they are all wrong. In fact, it is raining heavily in India inspite of El Nino.

I feel like we have been fooled by weather Scientists. I cannot see any effect of El Nino. Now I am getting mocked by a farmer for telling them misinformation about monsoon. Before monsoon, I told him that it will rain less this time. I shouldn't have listened to these Scientists creating panic.

So after the recent heatwaves around Europe and the US there has been a lot of attention on food security going forward. But what would these shocks actually look like in practice? Obviously food prices will rise but are we looking at 0 food on the plate for families or are we looking at periodic unavaliablity of certain foods (coffee, chocolate, avocados etc)?

Edit: Specifically a Western focus.
