Blizzard approaching, what to do if power goes out?

[nikkubus]

You mean they "predicted" something that's, always existed. If there's one thing I've learned from living where I am my whole life, weather and the environment is ALWAYS changing, that's how it's been for eons and how it will continue to be for eons to come regardless of what we do.

Am I denying that poor planning, greed and irresponsible practices have been causing problems such as what we're seeing right now? Of course not. But this narrative of constant blame of man for phenomenon that has been ongoing well before we had even a modicum of influence has been getting beyond irritating. Just look at the Sahara. Barely even a few thousand years ago it was a lush paradise rich with life, and yet it became an oversized sandbox on its own well before humanity had even remotely reached to potential to affect anything on an environmental scale.

In the end, let's be responsible, but at the same time let's not automatically assume something happening is directly our fault. Scientists can screech all they want about how awful we are, but in this day and age it'd be wise to remember that they have their own masters to answer to...

Sorry, just, felt the need to soapbox for a moment. Don't normally speak my mind like this.

What gets me, is that it's kindergarten tier science that plants breathe CO2 and spit out O2, yet almost none of the regulation wants to push anything to do with stopping deforestation and incentivizing planting of plants. Instead let's try to convince humans to be herbivores because cow farts are going to end the world.

Either way, change is happening, and we humans need to get it together and come up with a plan how we are going to survive as long as possible. It's only going to get worse. We need better energy infrastructure that can withstand extremes or we need to harden up and learn to survive without it like we used to.
