Ask HN: How are you, a dev/programmer, preparing for climate change?

3 点作者 pentestercrab超过 2 年前
How are you preparing mentally, financially and otherwise? How are you dealing with the anxiety of ever increasing news about the likely negative events?

Well, &quot;climate change&quot; is not something that&#x27;s coming suddenly tomorrow. It&#x27;s a gradual progress. At best one can prepare for specific rogue weather events caused by it, like floods or droughts, heatwaves, and so on.<p>As a dev&#x2F;programmer with a dev&#x2F;programmer&#x27;s salary (in the US) one can downsize his expenses and save quite a lot of money, invest in a house in a place which is not expected to be extremely affected any time soon, and weatherize the house (e.g. install good insulation, solar panels, reinforce it against strong winds, arrange it so it has good air circulation for cooling, and so on).<p>The &quot;apocalyptic&quot; kind of preparations are BS imho, first because there&#x27;s no sudden movie-like collapse, climate change is a long process, and society will adapt in several ways. Plus, if it comes to that, the cans in the bunker wont save you (and a post-apocalyptic environment aint gonna be any life worth living anyway).

I started to farm on a little piece of land next to my house. I really like the outcome, because I have spare food I like and some valuable skill if human economy starts going south, because spying on users which I am doing on my work is not a valuable skill. Anxiety is OK considering that bad times is not behind the mountains.
