The facts indicate that immediate action to halt GHG emission ought to have started in 2000, in order to avert the tipping point that really occurred, unoticed by mass delusional media in 2006!  Did Monica and Bill kill our civilization?  Helped along by the naderite puritans?

Mass delusional media is doing it's job too well.  Those Mayan cities where everyone suddenly dissappeared or the population of ancient Rome suddenly going from millions to thousands after destruction of the aqueducts.  These are the forgotten warnings.

What about the Gulf Stream conveyor?  Could the halt of the flow cause reflective cooling from less snow melt in northern regions?  Is there a chance the double exponential effect could be tempered with this sort of event?

Right now human welfare has become  secondary, since humans caused this.  Crop and food disruption could really sound a warning that government can't ignore.  With food riots already in progress from ethanol farming (commodity grain prices tripled), this seems to be another counter exponential effect.

There is not much that could be called actual civilization left, measuring the state of present corporate culture and governance.

All we have is our circle of family and friends and what is left of the natural world.  The mass culture is on a continually more sensitive hair trigger for massive disruption and collapse.

Liberty asociated with traditional human rights has already been completely undermined by the corporatist reaction to terrorism.  Official state kidnapping, torture, and murder are accepted as a matter of course.  Thuggery has taken hold.

We are in a world of hurt, about to become a world of chaos.  Maybe Jim Kuntsler is right?  

My feeling is that the catastrophic return of a new ice age can protect pockets of civilization isolated in interior areas like the northern midwest.  But then disease wafting in on the air from the great conflagration could even wipe out these outposts.

Is our future history already written?  We died off because humans couldn't "get the math" of exponential change?   We voted for a shaved chimp instead of Gore in 2000 and that was it. 

At any rate, it is definitely past time to start assembling a survival strategy for you and your loved ones.   Head north.  If you want to leave some grandchildren and great grandchildren as a legacy.

When the four horsemen march over the earth maybe they will forget to trample a few of us?  Meanwhile reread this zen antidote for apocalyptic reality.

Hopeless battles are the only ones worth fighting.  Onward.
