Everything about modern civilization is financed and developed based on a perception of perpetual growth. A few people are making noises about "degrowth", and not comprehending what it means for human beings that have outgrown the place they occupy. Each city/CAFO can be measured in the number of hiros it will take to turn it back to productive farmland(assuming it isn't under water). Volatility means rivers will flush farms and towns away. What preparations can anyone make that will be effective?

Make peace with your place. It's about to try and kill you.

Humanity is nothing but ego to Nature. Nature bats last, and her team has serious deep backfield for the coming brawl.
