The answer is to plant native plant species. Your local wildlife will Thankyou as they unwillingly prepare to migrate due to climate change.
Plant mushrooms and poppies so you can just disassociate your way into the end times.

Nowhere near enough upvotes for how hard I laughed lol
Believe it or not strait to jail in the UK mate. Rot with that evil bitch checks notes Gretta 💩
technically psychedelic mushrooms aren't a dissociative hallucinogen, but you got the spirit
I too crave to become one with the fungi
It will happen to us all
I'm exclusively planting tulips for trade. I'm not missing out when the craze strikes again.
Sorry to say, but we’ve moved onto virtual goods to satisfy our crazes nowadays. Try planting those tulips in your homebrew farmcraft simulator clone and watch those profits roll in.
NFTs = non fungal tulips
I was quite surprised, when buying seeds for my garden (I need heat tolerant varieties of everything) that some of the ones that were heat tolerant were also cold tolerant, either old varieties or sturdy hybrids.
Green Magic Broccoli is awesome, and there are lettuces like that. And while our unusual double tap freeze this year wiped out most of my garden, the fennel, which is heat tolerant in my experience, just did not freeze. All those little hairy leaves were completely undamaged. I did not expect that!
Insulation is insulation! :)
... Potatoes.
Yes, Europe has absolutely never seen complete loss of potatoes harvest du to weather events
Yes, all potatoes. Make sure in one large area, all the same sub type as well. Nothing bad can happen.
Surely, there is absolutely no precedent for anything going wrong in a scenario such as that.
No chance of famine with monocrops, just look at bananas
LOL
Plant coriander with your potatoes, it repels a lot of the insects that harm them
What does AMOC stand for? Is it that atlantic air current?
Idk, but I think it's about the golf stream collapse and how it'd cool Europe down.
golf stream
Gulf, golf is something else.
Gulf is golf in many germanics. Fun.
it's the gulf stream, or, rather, refers to the entire system of currents and heat exchange mostly driven by the gulf stream
Its ocean current. I believe Atl Meridian Overturning Current
Diversity! Gotta hedge those bets.
That said amoc collapse probably isn't happening imminently, and would mostly only cause cooling in Northern Europe from what I remember.
Northwestern Europe, to be precise. It'd include the Hiberno-British Isles and a little southeast of that.
I've heard a good rec is to give yourself a buffer of one to two usda zones plus and minus.
Guerilla plant fast growing plants in vacant areas to suck up as much CO2 as possible?
(Yes I know this is like a drop in the ocean.)
Plants and trees are carbon neutral. They release the carbon when they decompose.
Not entirely. Some goes into the topsoil. Also if your guerilla project lives on one plant is replaced with another, so it is carbon negative compared with no plants in its place.
You gotta sequester the carbon by harvesting the trees and then either building stuff (like buildings or furniture, not disposable goods) with them or burying/sinking them in anaerobic conditions so they can't decompose.
Its basically just making charcoal from woody wastes(i use my pruning from my garden).
making biochar using a pit. the wood becomes stable carbon and lasts hundreds of years. I grind it and put it in my compost then add the compost+biochar into my garden.
Biochar is cool and all, but it's still not as good as preserving the wood completely intact. The article you cited itself says "it is predicted that at least 50% of the carbon in any piece of waste turned into biochar becomes stable," which is quite a bit less than 100%.
I suppose it's good for the twigs and other leftovers that aren't even good enough to be made into OSB or MDF panels.
I'm at the same latitude as Portugal and in low elevation. We didn't get above freezing for five weeks straight during part of this winter. We set a couple of record cold temperatures too.
