    I’ve thought the same except climate change will lead to more rolling disasters. For instance, wouldn’t it be great to homestead, but what if extreme heat kills all your crops? You’re dead. This is a global problem that will only change through social change or not and 99% of us die.

      Well, you’ve got to climate-proof it. At least try to. Hydroponics, which, if done right, is both more space efficient, less susceptible to disease and environmental hindrances, and requires much less water. Solar power generation loves the sun and the cells will not really care how hot it is (in realistic environments), they will only get more efficient. Go subterranean to a degree, and have your architecture style be inspired by things like Earthships.

      Freshwater can be gotten from wells, rain traps or dehumidifiers. If you want animals, you will have to hold them in buildings similar to your own dwelling.

      Keep in mind that this advice is for if you expect it to get hot in your area. However, parts of Europe will tend to get colder due to climate change, at least at certain times of the year.
