Appologies for the length of this post, it’s a complex subject. Hopefully the links work, if not will post in comments.
Does Q mention the climate in any drops?
I assumed that most here are aware of the man made climate change fraud narrative. If you are not then now is the time to wake up to the reality of what's going on with the climate.
It is becoming apparent that the Great Awakening is not just for normies.
We have entered solar cycle 25, also known as the Eddy Minimum. GSMs happen every 350-400 yrs & last 50 -70 odd years, the last being the Maunder Minimum 1645 to 1710. Then came the Dalton Minimum 1796 – 1810 ish, not as severe as the Maunder but devastating none the less & part of the lesser 100 yr cycle. NASA predicts the current Eddy Minimum to be the weakest in the last 200 years & comparable with the Dalton Minimum, it will peak around 2025.
Dalton Min with a focus on Australia, a very interesting read written from an Actuary (someone who deals with risk assessment) https://www.actuaries.asn.au/Library/Events/SUM/2013/Sum2013PaperBrentWalker.pdf
What does it all mean? Global cooling! Increased volcanic activity & earthquakes, decrease in magnetic field strength causing an increase in cloud nucleating cosmic rays & magma excitation. Increased volcanic activity partially blocks the sun causing global temps to drop, its complex. https://electroverse.net/we-entered-the-modern-grand-solar-minimum-on-june-8-2020/
Volcanic activity aside, the Jetstream is also affected causing some parts of the globe to actually get warmer while others get colder, we saw this recently with Siberia experiencing heatwaves while the U.S. experienced unseasonal severe cold snaps. https://electroverse.net/recap-the-changing-jet-stream-and-global-cooling/
So what does it all mean for humanity? Basically massive crop failure, famine, reduced population due to starvation & the fall of empires. Yay, we certainly do live in interesting times. Not everyone will like how the movie ends. Glaciers will move south in the northern hemisphere which brings me to Trump ordering a fleet of icebreakers. Yes its true.

Rise & fall of Empires in relation to solar activity, a great read https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/history/ancient-economies/solar-minimum-the-fastest-decline-in-almost-10000-years/? Prof. Valentina Zharkova study in full : https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23328940.2020.1796243
For the science buffs, Steve McIntyre, who is he? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_McIntyre
Steve’s website is dedicated to revealing the truth about the stats presented to the public re climate change. He is famous for debunking the “hockey stick graph”. Be warned its heavy going but well worth it. https://climateaudit.org/
I pray that the plan includes a strategy to minimize loss of life due to famine brought on by crop failure. I don’t know if that’s even possible but it certainly could be alleviated by a massive change in farming practices & adaptation to the changes that are coming.
As individuals I suggest if at all possible moving to warmer climate zones & out of cities. Finally learn to grow your own food. Just my 2 cents worth.
As long as it occurs slowly, capitalist economies can and will increase food production in warm areas as other areas become unusable for farming. As food prices go up, the incentive to grow food rises. Right now, the money we spend on food is 90% luxury foods.
No need.
There is location independent grow facilities. In effect, using greenhouses and even closed loop containers, equipped with special LED lighting, water recycling, heat containment, etc, you could grow food on every available inch in Antarctica.
It seems the Chinese are standing in line to lay their hands on all available systems coming off the production line.
It would leave the bedrock of the food supply: rice and grains to be left to natural habitats. But I would not be surprised to see some tech that will help in growing it inside on large and stacked floor facilities, where every square meter is stacked with 3 -5 floor of wheat cultures, limiting the current dedication of soil

These techniques effectively mean that any country could build up sufficient amounts of agriculture, and a diverse range of produce, to secure a food supply without soiling everything. It could even be flooding resistant.
The problem is meat consumption. 8 lbs of grain to make 1 lb of meat. No indoor grains facility can produce enough grain to raise the cattle we consume in mass. Not a big deal if you can convince everyone to eat bugs but that hasnt been going over very well. Neither is the lab grown meat idea. However when there isn't enough soy and corn to feed our herds, we will cull them, and meat prices will necessarily rise, and then rise some more. I don't know what the fall out of that will be here. We haven't experienced food hardship in recent history. Not since the great depression have Ketchup sandwiches been on the menu. The way I see it, we need to irrigate the Sarah by building swales to capture the rain water and wick into the aquifer. It does not take long for plant life to repair the sands if it is done with permaculture techniques. The Davis community in CA built a 70 acre development that captures water with swales and is planted as a food forest. We need to build decentralized systems of food production in the communities we live in if we want a chance at survival. Cities are death traps, always have been, green houses are only one part of the solution.
The key is the Sinai. There are serious land reclamation efforts underway, and studies show that making the Sinai greener, would influence the weather pattererns everywhere, Especially in the Sahara.
My fav permaculture dude, he is extraordinary, Geoff Lawton greening the desert in 4 yrs. These things take time, dedication & a whole lot of knowhow & experience.

Also check out his adventures in food forests. Its the people living in poor 3rd world environments & or extreme isolation who still live off the land that have the best chance of surviving. they are the ones who never lost their connection to the land.
Thanks for the positive insights on a topic where its not so easy to find positive outcomes. Yes there are ways to mass produce food in unfavourable climatic conditions, hopefully these things will be implemented in time to feed the billions.
Sorry to tell you, it won't be slow.
