It's not what the survivalists predicted
Way back in the Ancient Times, around the 1960's, *everyone* was
predicting a global Ice Age and it was coming up about next Thursday.
Round about ten minutes after The Gulf Stream dies.
Well, everyone save a few Climate Science crank scientists and some Meteorologists. Those guys were round the twist, out of their tree and suggesting that something called "gullible worming" might happen and
the planet might become like Venus, only hotter. No one bought into
that trash, of course. Only nutjobs would think that an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide could affect *anything*. I mean, come on,
it didn't do much during the Carboniferous, did it? :)
Also a good point! And then there was nuclear winter to fear, at one
point.
I was actually referring to nobody leaving the cities, though. Part of
the classic survivalist scenario is people pouring out of cities to raid
farms for food. Your scenario seems more like one where the city's just
dead, probably in a quick death.
