Ok, say that this is true, what should we do to prevent it?
Because I can't see humanity surviving an ice age of 1300 years.
Even if we find shelter, what would we eat?
I can't see any way out of a scenario like this, and since if this is true it is a true inevitabillity we have zero reason to panic since it won't help.
Again, you mean?
That is a fair point, and I should clarify what I mean.
There are two options of how to interpret the the doomsayer.
Global ice cover, which is how I initially interpreted it as meaning, then we are truly gone.
Partial Ice cover, here we can interpret "we" as the current civilization, that will be gone.
I did not consider scenario 2 as much as I should have, but since the author didn't specify closer, I jumped to scenario 1 and worked from there
Either we start building Generators and elect a Captain a la Frostpunk, or we all die.
As for me, the work won't complete itself, and those people sure as fuck ain't doing theirs.
Generators?
Seriously?
If this is accurate, it is way, way, way too late for that.
Also how long to you believe the fuel would last?
The only somewhat reliable energy I could see powering an underground bunker for 1300 years of ice age is geothermal, but that would only save a tiny fraction of people untill the food runs out.
If this scenario is comming, we are gone, there are no ifs or buts about it.
Preparation is irrelevant: We. Are. Gone.
We have no resources to save enough people to keep going.
1300 years, let me put that into perspective:
1300 years ago was the year 724 AD, a time eighty years before the Viking age, it was during the 700s that the Mayan civilization started to decline, that is how much time we are talking about.
Generators or Frostpunk Prime Generals won't matter.
We are gone.
If this happens.
It's a joke, lad. It's not that deep.
