I don't think this is realistically deployable, but I think if you and I put our heads together we could pitch a really slick TED talk on this, bilk at least a cool $20 Million out of some dumbfuck SV types, and use it to bankroll "ISIS 2: Less God, More Gaia".

Software Defined Settlements You just upload the topology and it algorithmically generates your tent city layout Use facial recognition to monitor occupants in real time. Drones can deliver supplies (e.g. food) or control (e.g. tear gas) as needed. Tier 1 refugees can be trusted to construct their own camps and receive a processing fee waiver to reward their compliance Some DHS yahoo like, "I don't know how the gently caress to build a tent city," can just load up his smartphone or tablet and blammo. Just do what the software tells you.

the rulers of our climate hell will be those with the means and people to supply food and drugs and bullets. if you combine them you will become god. all will simultaneously fear and covet your unique drug-food delivery system, able to transport essential nutrients and pleasure chemicals at 2200 ft/s muzzle velocity into the hearts of your followers and enemies alike.

Hope none of you are addicted to coffee because the coffee belt is vanishing, at the minimum expect it to double or triple in price. It IS a luxury, technically not essential to human life:https://www.theguardian.com/food/2019/apr/10/switzerland-plans-to-end-emergency-stockpiling-of-coffee posted:Switzerland has announced plans to abolish the emergency stockpiling of coffee, a strategy that has been in place for decades, saying the beans are not vital for human survival – though opposition to the proposal is brewing. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/13/world/americas/coffee-climate-change-migration.htm posted:Gradually rising temperatures, more extreme weather events and increasingly unpredictable patterns — like rain not falling when it should, or pouring when it shouldn’t — have disrupted growing cycles and promoted the relentless spread of pests. The obstacles have cut crop production or wiped out entire harvests, leaving already poor families destitute. Central America is among the regions most vulnerable to climate change, scientists say. And because agriculture employs much of the labor force — about 28 percent in Honduras alone, according to the World Bank — the livelihoods of millions of people are at stake. Last year, the bank reported that climate change could lead at least 1.4 million people to flee their homes in Mexico and Central America and migrate during the next three decades.

What if the greenhouses and bubble communities is exactly what we need to spread into space? Sure billions would die but the technologies created to preserve the few might be exactly what we need to colonize mars etc

Normalcy Bias is going to kill us all.quote:About 70% of people reportedly display normalcy bias in disasters.[1] Normalcy bias has been described as "one of the most dangerous biases we have". The lack of preparation for disasters often leads to inadequate shelter, supplies, and evacuation plans. Even when all these things are in place, individuals with a normalcy bias often refuse to leave their homes.[15]
