The ‘good’ news is you might not live through the next one.
Food.
Yeah our entire modern agricultural system is basically a process of squirting refined oil into the ground and then food comes out.
Drive up the precursor cost?
Well a whole bunch of that process breaks, and that’s not even considering the oil burned to move things from one place to another.
Even if you solve that problem: Climate’s broke, ain’t gonna fix it at this point. That’ll fuck up food production massively as well.
Population control (culling) via food prices doubling or tripling every few years, and the chaos that results from that.
They’re hoping enough of us will die before we actually try to eat them.
I suggest making what stockpile of edible reserves you can now, keep cycling through it, eat a bit of it, replace more of it, etc.
We got the worst el nino in recorded history, AMOC is currently giving out, as is the ‘doomsday’ glacier… and roughly 1/5 to 1/4 of the world’s oil just stopped, it’ll take years to recover from the damage thats already done.
Everything that has happened so far will be a footnote compared to what happens next.

It’s plain as day and nobody gives a shit. Stunning.
