I was researching getting ready for calamities during the next couple of years worldwide. I was thinking of just how bad and (Katrina Like) in some ways (Hurricane Sandy) has been so I started some research into this.
I guess my point of view is that it doesn't really matter whether the weather changes worldwide are man made or not. It is sort of like if truck is bearing down on you and you are standing in the middle of the road arguing who is driving the truck. So, having freeze dried food in your garage stored for when all you have to do is to add water and to cook it or heat it over your camp stove or gas stove that you light with a match in your kitchen hopefully might be a really good thing in these times.
Here is what I found at Costco.com above. If you click on Costco.com then click "Browse Categories" and then click "Food and gift baskets" a drop down menu in white will appear with blue letters. Then click on this drop down menu "Bulk Food". Here is what you will find there:
The other problem I was having is that I'm not into anything made with white flour because it isn't as healthy. However, that being said I would eat that if I had nothing else. So, this is one way to go. Another way to go that is much more expensive is to make up your own custom made list and go to some place like Whole Foods. The problem with this is most things that you might buy that are healthy there aren't going to last more than 6 months even "organic brown rice" without becoming a little rancid at some point. So, in regard to actually surviving without electricity or gas or anything for a year or so this could actually work as long as you had water that was healthy enough to mix and cook this stuff with during that time.
In the early 1980s I had friends that buried food in 50 Gallon drums because they were survivalists. However, because I had kids I didn't see the usefulness of getting a AR-15 from Viet Nam or a Kalashnikov assault rifle like many did back then when unemployment reached 10%. However, what my family did was buy bulk food through our local health food store that would last us (without a refrigerator for 1 month)
Our list would look something like this:
Whole milk powder to make milk
Whole Wheat Spaghetti
Whole Wheat noodles
Organic Brown Rice
Maple Syrup in bulk
Powdered Carob (near chocolate) health food style
Bulk Organic Peanut butter in a 1 gallon container
Whole Wheat Flour for Baking our own Bread (see note at end)
Whole Wheat Flour for Baking our own Bread (see note at end)
Then we would go to a Supermarket to get perishables and get some ice to preserve them as long as possible. So, this usually meant going to the Supermarket for fruits and veggies and other things about twice a week from our 2 1/2 acres with an A-Frame I built on it 10 miles from the nearest small town. We also had a spring for water for washing clothes or taking baths. So, in this sense we lived completely off the grid and were happy doing it home schooling our kids through Oak Meadow School on Independent Study. You've heard of Swiss Family Robinson and Alaska Family Robinson. Well this was a Mt. Shasta family Robinson kind of adventure for about 4 to 5 years. We skied into our land and A-Frame on metal edged Cross country skies as a family towing our food on our family toboggan when the snow got too deep for us to drive our 1974 Scout II International Harvester 4 wheel drive. Since at that time 7 feet of snow at one time was not unusual we often had to ski in from about January to March from 1980 to 1985.
I watched a local Friend basically destroy his 4 wheel drive with a hydraulic blade on it for removing snow and realized I couldn't afford at the time to destroy my 4 wheel drive plowing snow off of dirt roads. This is especially true when you get 7 feet of snow at one time and you have to plow 3 miles of road to get out.
Though the causes of worldwide weather changes and the melting of most glaciers on earth including the north and the south pole melting down to almost nothing a couple of months a year could be human caused it could also just as easily be a cyclical occurrence of some kind as well. It could even be tied somehow to 12-21-12 which is the end of the Mayan Calendar.
I'm beginning to think the primary cause is cyclical somehow and possibly relates to the poles (north and south magnetic) beginning to move around 1900. If we look at weather changes they had also occurred during the time of the poles beginning to move.
At this point the north pole is moving 40 miles per year and is increasing its speed slightly every day. Since it has been proven by scientists that a magnetic Excursion (which usually lasts about 2000 years) affects the weather and makes us more vulnerable to Solar Activity like Solar Mass Ejections and since it is known by scientists that a Magnetic excursion and also Polar shifts change the weather drastically and also cause genetic damage and some extinctions of some creatures on earth when they occur it may be that is actually what is really causing extreme weather changes worldwide. However, governments are not focusing on this because they don't want people to panic unnecessarily. However, I think people have the right to know what they are actually dealing with and have the right not to be told fairy tales by politicians who might only want to be elected despite the cost in what is really going on.
So, though humans likely are a factor in all this, the main factor might also be the polar excursion we have been experiencing here on earth since about 1900 or so. Scientists were alarmed when holes were discovered in the magnetosphere between 2000 and 2005 which alarmed them greatly because people and all living things underneath those holes in the magnetosphere had zero protection from Solar Flares as they occurred and hit earth. Though it is likely true if you have observed magnetic fields that they tend to always be moving it also means you may not even know when you get a serious dose of radiation from the sun. So, the only sure way to avoid getting more radiation is to be underground when it occurs which will slightly protect you from the radiation when it occurs.
So, since our magnetosphere is anywhere from zero (where holes are) to likely around 80% of what it was in 1900 it might also be important to know that when the Magnetic Excursion really gets going the protection of the magnetosphere will at most be about 20% of what it was in 1900.
So, from my point of view most weather changes might be due to the Magnetic Excursion that likely will occur for the next 2000 years. Also, all life on the surface of earth and in the surface of the ocean will be affected to some degree genetically during these next 2000 years and some species likely will mutate for the good and some likely will go extinct as well.
Note: It is also my thought that one of the reasons we have not had a 100,000 year civilization here already is because of these Magnetic Excursions, Ice ages and the like.

2nd note regarding organic whole wheat flour: At that time we also bought in addition to the wood stove my father welded together for me out of an old water pressure tank from his 2 1/2 acres before he had piped in water from the county, a wood cook stove with an oven that we bought at a garage sale that was from the 1920s or so that had been cared for extremely well. This allowed us to bake our own bread using wood to fire the oven and iron cook top for cooking. Usually we only built fires this oven for baking bread or casseroles or pies and other baked desserts and cookies. Or once in a great while if the flew was acting up in the regular wood stove for heating we might start a fire in the wood cook stove to heat the house. Or another time might be if it was zero outside so we could have two heat sources during extremely cold nights. The coldest nights were not when the snow was 7 feet high because the snow helped insulate the house and keep it warm. But an extremely steep slope of roof is necessary when you get that much snow or the weight of the snow will collapse the roof. That is why I built an A-Frame which has an extremely steep pitch of roof.
