How will YOU survive global warming?

[Warpy]

7. Oh, some of us will survive, we're a highly adaptable species

What won't survive is the advanced technological culture that produced global warming. Most of the world's great cities will be drowned or otherwise unlivable.

There might be a double whammy of a sharply reduced life span conferred by unchecked HIV, people who survive childhood dying in their 20s and 30s, most children being raised by other children.

What you've suggested are all short term bandaids for frightened people who live in highly technological societies. While those things might buy a few individuals a little time, the residents sleeping in shifts and keeping watch with shotguns in their laps against hungry poor folks from the cities, I'm not altogether sure I'd like to live like that.

Then again, we might survive as a species after the first wave of death from famine and disease with enough of the remnants of technology to eliminate HIV and go on with a less destructive technology and lowered expectations. I wouldn't mind living in that world.

Until then, banding together is the only solution, pooling knowledge and resources while the Randroids die alone in their bunkers, armed to the teeth and stir crazy from solitude.
