For the English speakers out there (plus there should also be at least partial translations to other languages), I highly recommend everyone on the digital planet should install the Survival Manual app, it even works when Internet is down…
I truly believe that the geopolitical tensions we’re witnessing today are largely a response to what nations see on the horizon from a climate standpoint. As resource scarcity becomes inevitable, countries are maneuvering to secure their positions ahead of the coming resource wars.
You’re half right.
We absolutley and without question have the money, resources, and infrastructure to supply the world with what it needs.
However, 90% of those resources are owned by individuals, not countries.
In order to accumulate this wealth, they have exploited millions, usually through government bribes, or capturing entire political parties outright.
Now that sharing their hoarded wealth is essential for human survival, they are choosing to disrupt any conversation about it. Socialism and the “left” way of thinking - to provide resources where they are best needed - is dangerous to their wealth, so they’ve spent millions on preserving it at the cost of preserving humanity.
That’s what you’re seeing across the globe. Selfish narcissists that care more about themselves than humanity.
I agree. The problem is not all the resources but control. With renewables, public transportation, bicycles, and plant based diets, we could sustain everyone without manufactured scarcity. But that is vilified as socialism, as if that is a bad thing. The means exist, but the system keeps a few in control even at the cost of collapse.
They would rather invade Canada than diversify their energy sources
Men would rather invade Canada than go to therapy. Smh.
What resource would become scarce exactly? We’re producing ridiculous amounts of food, it’s just being wasted. If it were to become more scarce you can just raise the price of meat to give you even more runway.
Water, that “great big tap in Canada”
Water, land, energy, and key minerals are all becoming more contested. Water scarcity is getting worse. Farmland is drying up. The energy transition depends on materials controlled by a few countries. Even with food, current production is wrecking the environment, creating dead zones, killing fisheries, and making future yields worse. Raising prices only goes so far when nations start taking what they need.
I get my water from an underground aquafer and the level of that aquafer is constantly going down due to farming corn and soybeans so they can make ethanol.
Which is a ridiculous waste, it’s not food and a terrible source of energy.
Sweden has a similar survival manual in English available
Definitely need one for myself.
Hopefully France makes it available to the public. I’d love to get a copy over seas here.
I was about to suggest ready.gov for the US, but it appears to have already been compromised
I trust you, 96 Toyota Camry enthusiast.
Reliability is paramount to me lol
It has a banner stating that the website is under construction to comply with orange man orders, but everything that matters is unchanged, most importantly the “build a kit” guidelines.
I highly recommend people look at the kit guidelines and consider it a bare minimum for basic preparedness, even in times where our leadership isn’t completely off the rails.
There’s a YouTube channel called “City Prepping” that has a lot of good content on the subject. Climate Change will not care about politics when it burns/ floods/ blows down our homes, everyone should be a minimum of two week ready, if possible. 72 hour ready is a necessity at this point with how unstable things have become with infrastructure and supply chains.
Your turn, !Canada@lemmy.ca
