In reply to the discussion: Texas mayor tells residents to fend for themselves during power outage: 'Only the strong will surviv [View all]reader1
(55 posts)29. Sign of things to come.
Some says there is a link between climate change and the polar vertex dipping down more often to the southern states. While we should sympathize for the people of Texas, this disaster and the pandemic should be a lesson for the rest of us the importance to teach our family to consume less and live a frugal lifestyle.
The positive feedback loop has already began, so more breakdown of society will happen in the near future and our healthcare infrastructure may collapse, people living a healthy life not depending on cheap medications from China and India stands a better chance of survival. Sorry for the doom and gloom news I deduced from reading what most climatologist says will happen .
