Really? Did you mention how some climate doomers are just suckers for any mechanism to cause the blessed doom they are looking for?UndercoverElephant wrote:Looks like we've gone mainstream:

I spoke to the author of this piece for about half an hour on the phone a couple of weeks ago.
Another Deep Adaptation follower, who didn't want his name to be published, told me he was planning to relocate from the South-East to the Welsh countryside.
"The basic things we'll need will be food, water and shelter," he says.
He plans to live off-grid, either joining an existing eco-community or "going it alone" with like-minded friends in a house clad with straw bales for insulation.
"Deep Adaptation isn't a bunker mentality of doing it yourself. You want a mix of people with different skills," he says.
But he also says he has been taking crossbow lessons, "because you never know".
"It seems like a pretty useful weapon to have around to protect ourselves. I'd hate the thought I'd ever have to use it but the thought of standing by and not being able to protect the ones I love is pretty horrifying."
No mention of UE having been suckered before? Do doomers ever admit they were wrong about doom, rather than just cycling on to the next favorite?clv101 wrote:Your contribution?

Crossbow lessons should take less then an hour. They are not that difficult. Several hours of practice with proper targets and backstops are on the other hand essential to getting good reliable hits at normal hunting (or defensive) ranges.clv101 wrote:

Nothing I said actually made it into the article! He ran into me talking about collapse on reddit, and then when he found out what I did for a living the conversation just rambled for half an hour. Although I have considered getting into crossbows.clv101 wrote:Your contribution?

Just for the record, I am simply going to ignore your posts from now on. I consider you a first class troll, and if it was my choice you would be banned (yet again). You contribute little or nothing to the debate here.ReserveGrowthRulz wrote:No mention of UE having been suckered before?
