As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
The hoax narrative is LIE BY OMISSION. The temperature has gone way off pattern massively since the 70’s/80’s. This is what caused alarm bells in the first place, we should actually be on our way to a mini ice age as solar output is in decline and has been for a few decades. We had a mini late 1800’s ice age.. many alpine peaks were climbed with lots of snow and ice that has now all virtually gone and the Thames would freeze.

BUT, and it is a big but, more recent examples of climate change are undoubtedly linked to human activity. There is simply too much data confirming the correlation between carbon content within the atmosphere, human industrial activity, and global average temperatures.
This itself isn't new either - foraminifera, geological and ice core data seems to suggest that there was an increase in carbon dioxide levels and also global temperatures during the agricultural revolution. Intense land use change (IE - rapid and irreversible degradation and destruction of carbon stores) in Mesopotamia, the Nile and Indus Valley regions is probably why this happened. Again, there's too much evidence of a correlation to dismiss it as coincidence.
So I shall continue to call out idiocy whenever I see it. There are people out there far more intelligent than you or I, or the laptop scientists that create stories like the one you have linked as "evidence". When such intelligent people are unanimously in agreement over a subject, it serves you well to listen.
If temperatures increase under an RCP8.5 scenario (admittedly, "worst case scenario" according the the IPCC), and land-based ice within this region was to melt accordingly, then by 2050 it would've deposited enough cold freshwater into the North Atlantic (and thus, the gulf stream) to maybe cause an ice age in Europe. The likelihood of it actually happening is *very* slim given that there are a lot of things that would have to happen to make it possible, but it's still interesting nonetheless.
We don't have a population growth problem. We're not making enough people, full stop. What we have is a distribution problem, and a hoarding problem.

Looks like I'm returning to being a hippy as I head towards my mid-sixties. Funny thing is some of my friends are doing the same. Simpler lives cut the tech and the tat you don't need.
But no we'd rather live in a world in which billionaires own key industies and business sectors and control our lives. Greedy property developers want to build on the greenbelt.
I suspect the planet/mother nature will work out we're vermin past our sell by date and wipe us out .. :-)
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Re. car, we are going to get the smallest 2nd hand one we can find, all our electricity is from windmills, so no prob there. I left my London job 2 years ago and got a job 22 minutes’ cycle ride away. Love it. We live in Cambridge so hardly use the car anyway. We don’t currently have one that works and have been hiring one when we need it, but it’s prohibitively expensive, so electric it is. Do you think that’s a good idea? Thanks for the suggestions.

It's pointless even trying. All we are doing is prolonging our own demise. Fuck it... we may as well go out in a blaze of stupidity.
Offset "(Emp) - a little heavy on the hyperbole."

The only thing is that humans are part of the ecosystem so you can't just take them out of the equation. Well....
There was an old experiment where they took an area of rainforest didn't allow any human interference with it. The only thing was that they kicked the indigenous people out too. Things didn't work out how they expected.
The indigenous people were having an effect on the environment and, certainly from their perspective, generally a positive one.
