I've been sort of on the fence about climate change, but this article cites so much evidence it can't be ignored. If I read this correctly, it looks like a 3.5C change is coming in 20 years, at which point the food chain is supposed to collapse.

Given that, and that things will be getting worse before that (coastal cities gone? massive political unrest, etc), what would you do to be ready? How would you prepare your kids? Twenty years isn't much time.
Even if the predictions are not completely accurate, it seems things are going to be worse in general in not too many years.
