A macro view is what enables me to write about global warming and climate change with confidence. In the broadest sweep, agriculture is under serious threat and at the beginning of decline. Drought in many places including metropolises like Mexico City are here. These of course are foundational to any kind of social order. It's pretty easy to see the future in broad terms. If I was younger, I would be banding together with others to buy land in places where the chances for agricultural success are greatest and build a diverse community of skills with knowledge of the old ways of living from indigenous culture and that of people who had early machines powered by human and animal muscle. This transition to renewables is high farce. I doubt it will buy much time and of course can only be created with fossil fuels, which will reach the point of being economically unviable to extract way sooner than people realize.
