Dear Transitioners

I need to paint a clear picture of the future. This is not meant to terrify you or lead you to inaction. In reality, my objective is to mitigate the effect of the coming collapse.

What will be left by 2050 is a smoking ruin of what was once your civilization, ravaged by pandemics, incinerated by megafires, desperate for salvation in theocracy and waging bitter wars.

By the mid-2030s, your society will no longer be able to provide even the most basic necessities. Chronic shortages of everything from food, to water, to medication, to power, will be the norm, as will all of the consequences, from massive inflation to political instability.

In the 2040s, animals and biosystems started dying in vast numbers, causing the collapse of everything that depends on them.

We are living in the worst-case scenario, and we're worried that it's too late for you to stop it.

But there is some good news for the few that will take our warnings seriously. Right now, my team and I are developing a survival plan for you based on ideas from the isolated pockets of survivors in the North Georgia area. Hopefully, this will work on a wider scale to preserve more of us.
