In the last few days I have been running small scale experiments in my home town based on how the climate change disaster will impact us.
Essentially, I have spent time at the nearby supermarket, intentionally damaging or removing foods that will be lost when we have the disasters that await, and then watching the reactions.

Day 1: Removed tins of coconut milk from the shelves, removed bottles of fish sauce and some other Thai and South Asian ingredients. Hypothosis: These are the first items to be 'lost' by the events of climate change as they are in the hot zones. Notes: Most people who came looking were not too disturbed. One individual thought he saw fish sauce at the back shelf but it was actually soy sauce I had placed there - I believe this demonstrates the 'folly' of seeing technological fixes as a way to prevent the issues with climate change. Overall, I was not too concerned on day 1 and even had hope

Day 2: Plastered fake 'possibly radioactive' stickers on produce from Indian subcontinent and removed some items from Bangladesh Hypothosis: India and Pakistan will have a nuclear skirmish due to climate change therefore irradiating food Notes: Many people seemed confused and did not purchase the products. Had to cut experiment short because a man spoke to a staff member then pointed at me. Overall I believe that this proves people cannot understand the way climate change harms the food supply.

Day 3: Entered supermarket late at night and poured ants into the carrots. Hypothosis: This represents pests becoming widespread due to the warming climate in the north Notes: Nobody took the carrots and seemed disgusted. Clearly proves people will not eat pested crops and may resort to cannibalistic behaviour within 3 days of the collapse.

This is a small experiment but I think is telling.
