Wow, very clear and straight to the point.

These past and modern examples indicate that surviving a post collapse would appear to involve fostering local self- sufficiency to buffer against the collapse of global supply chains, building robust community networks that can provide mutual aid, and cultivating a broad set of survival skills to respond to rapidly changing conditions. However, even with such preparations, there is no guarantee that we can adapt to all the cascading effects of a collapse aggravated by climate change. The scale of the current crisis surpasses any historical precedent, and the path forward is uncertain. Nonethe- less, by understanding the dynamics of past collapses and applying those lessons with a focus on rapid adaptation and anticipating what we may face, there is still potential to navigate the turbulent future.

From the article:

global GDP could contract by 50% between 2070 and 2090

This shows exactly what is wrong with the world. Instead of understanding that we won't have enough to eat in 2050 (or so), people are worried that the fucking GDP may fall in random 45 years or so. What the heck?
