What can an individual do to prepare for this disaster? I'm seventeen and this thread has me scared shitless. I keep imagining a narrative of going broke at 60, social security wiped out and being unable to afford food because I can't keep up with my health insurance. I know not to have kids. I guess the easy answer for mitigating your own misery is to get rich?

I'm sorry if this isn't an appropriate question for this thread. It's just such a heavy situation to take in

The phillipines video is incredibly touching and I just posted it to facebook pleading with everyone to watch it. I doubt more than a few of my close friends will.

My job is canvassing for a non-profit environmental organization and the apathy people show even toward problems that are solvable is more than a little horrifying. The people in the US will never change, plenty of them think our national parks should be privatized and drilled full of holes if it brings down gas prices, and I don't even live in the south anymore.

You all already realize this but this country isn't giving up fossil fuels until we're personally devastated, and that might take a long time. I thought if you laid out facts people could at least manage some sympathy towards this profit-at-all-costs if it were in their backyard and at no personal cost to them, but that isn't so for the majority. Most people don't deserve what's coming, but these fuckers deserve nature's wrath.
