Can't say I blame you.

The thing is, there will be pockets of land around the world where life still goes on -- though radically different from today. It's not like one day, everyone drops off a cliff. If we don't end up triggering a new ice age, it's possible that over millennia, mankind could enter a New Equilibrium where people learn to live in harmony with the planet, and each other.

Upstream, you asked , "What are you going to do?"

In soon-to-be temperate parts of Canada and the rest of the world, survive. Plan for resilience. If, as predicted, billions of people die then population will be reduced, capitalism will be destroyed and rabid consumption with it.

Over eons, the entire earth's surface will subduct again, and all of mankind's waste will be turned into molten rock. In the meantime, the biosphere could regenerate, and once again become capable of supporting reduced human and animal populations.

Kind of science-fictiony. But possible. No?
