Hm, I just remembered that I wanted to go about this in reverse order so I'll start with this rather frantic exploration that I've been on. Well, I've been wondering how is it humanity could survive on a planet where you can expect extreme weather. Where temperatures the likes of 50 degrees Celsius (122 in Fahrenheit) is to be expected. I remembered there being several concepts for survival on the moon, Mars and even Venus. Yeah, you heard me right, Venus. The concept being a colony floating just above the acid clouds where temperatures are much more manageable. Surely there must be SOMETHING workable that could sustain a livable habitat on a more chaoti

I'm waiting for someone to swoop in and say "we know what we're dealing with, it's not pretty but we're going to take lessons from the Permian Mass Extinction event and prepare humanity to live in such a world". THAT is what would really put a smile on my face. That's why I brought up extraterrestrial colonies up since the world we're facing is going to be pretty alien compared to what we're used to.
