Winds, Droughts, Floods

As I look into the future it is obvious to me that the single biggest problem people will deal with worldwide will be the droughts because down through history droughts (before oil, gasoline and diesel) ended whole civilizations. So, even with oil, gas, diesel and electric vehicles droughts likely will be the single biggest long term problem for mankind in general.

However, second to this is the winds. This to me has been the most impressive thing for me to see, 20, 40, 50, and 100 years and beyond. Because to me this is the biggest problem.

Because droughts people can avoid if they can afford to get on a bus or hitchhike out of the droughted area if they wish to survive.

But, the winds destroy crops, make rain go sideways at over 100 miles per hour which might even put your eye out at that speed. So, goggles might be necessary in this high a wind in heavy rains too.

For example, the winds (in December?) in Texas and Mississippi just killed a whole bunch of people in the form of tornadoes (in December?).

The Winds (in the form of Santanas just scorched and area near Solimar Beach and drove people out of their homes and into the sea seeking protection from the ocean from the fires, even though fire departments were able to save all the homes there for now. (Even though a Dutch Family has videos of their Scorching ride through 101 that you likely have seen on CNN or other news outlets on TV by now.

What is less widely known is that they were the last car to go through the fire and embers and other cars behind them turned around and drove through oncoming freeway traffic. (That would have been quite a sight to witness by the way.

Floods actually do some good usually by bringing new topsoil to make farming better in areas where the floods travel over, especially if the new soil they bring is volcanic powdered soil which tends to the the richest right out of volcanoes.

But, when I look into the future it is mostly the winds I see that cannot be overcome in regard to farming. Because as heat around the world increases in fits and starts the winds over 100 mph will tend to kill crops by ripping leaves off of plants. And unfortunately winds over 100 miles per hour (look at Texas and Mississippi) are going to be more normal now worldwide 12 months a year.

So, these winds (over 100 miles per hour) are going to be destroying people's crops worldwide in increasing numbers over the years worldwide now.

And I think this is the hardest thing or mankind to survive ongoing. And it is likely going to get worse and worse for 300 to 500 years no matter what anyone says or does.

There is  some hope if we do enough now that temperatures will start to reduce after 500 years of increasing though.

So, I think people are going to be living underground more (to avoid the winds) wherever they are NOT in a floodplain.

People in floodplains will build up higher and higher dirt burms or build more on stilts to survive higher and higher flooding. People in areas with droughts will more and more just move away to somewhere with more water and food growing.

Migration will be necessary more and more for all people on earth.

So, wealthier people will have homes in two or more areas of the earth to survive better anything that comes.

And poorer people who are older and cannot migrate likely won't survive very long the way things are going now.

This is the world we are facing more and more worldwide.
