It’s basically a statement to prepare for any issues now, while supply infrastructure is not under stress.
It’s good sense generally. However, the predictions for this winter mean some areas could have issues. The cyber attack on France also lit a fire that supply chains could be disrupted for days.
Energy disruptions due to war and polar vortex this coming winter along with heat waves next spring. Russia is doing war things and USA far right have made a mess in Iran and planning more.
El Niño disrupts the climate, its stronger than normal but doesn’t mean it will last longer than normal as far as I know, it doesn’t mean everywhere will just be warmer it just means the flow of ocean currents has changed direction in the Pacific which messes with a lot of climate systems
The polar vortex collapsing has caused massive disruptions in North America over the last decade, it could happen to Europe just as easily
The PM just told people to be prepared but not for any specific threat
I imagine the water reservoirs being near empty might be part of it
I grew up in New Zealand where the risk of earthquakes makes emergency planing like this considered pretty standard, I have continued doing it in the UK since I moved here
American military started making a bunch of noise about how all military bases/installations need to be self sufficient for 90 days, UK and a couple other governments started “oh, by the way” reminding their citizens that it’s a good idea to always have emergency supplies and people should do that.
Netanyahu lost Israel, but his opponents need to work out a coalition to sit a new government so there’s a delay and maybe a new election, trump is about to get waxed in the midterms…
There’s a nonzero chance one or the other sets off a nuke just to say that means they can’t hand the government over. Or just skip that step and declare martial law and stop pretending to be democracies.
If we make it to 2027, shit will calm back down to normal levels of crazy. But the next three months have a very good chance of being interesting times, and those suck.
Edit:
Also, the PhP shit last week, and North Korea stealing billions of crypto this week.
I am out of the loop. Why are people stockpiling this stuff? Where are these massive threats of cyber attacks and weather disasters coming from?

Well the UK was hit by two storms last weekend.
Took out power for some places for a few days.
That’s pretty much it. Just a general be prepared statement.
that sounds pretty reasonable. a lot of people are making it seem like there’s an apocalypse looming from the sound of it.
A lot of Lemmites are just terminally online and always assume there is some deeper conspiracy. Just totally divorced from reality.
Elaborate?

Thought we have a multi year el Nino?

Yeah, if you’re in Wellington, it’s a matter of when not if we have a massive quake and all our infrastructure gets trashed.
It’s already happened in Christchurch.
Bunch of fascists keep losing elections…
