Default Will you be gardening 10 years from now?

OK, global climate change is a fact. I don't want to get into whether
it is caused by humans or not, so I will ignore any replies that argue
that.

My gardening question is this: all the best scenarios say weather will
become more extreme and more variable. Variable extreme weather is
death to the home gardener. Any suggestions on this?

More and more companies are growing produce inside green houses where the
environment is controlled. Here in Michigan, many stores get their produce
from Canada where tomatoes and lettuces are grown year round indoors.

If the Earths environment gets real bad due to global warming, it will not
be the end of human life. Nature itself will be destroyed, but humans and
selected animals may continue in a controlled indoor environment. Like
living on another planet like Mars or Eaarth.

Growing foods indoors on a personal scale is also a growing industry. Since
Michigan passed the Medical Weed law, there are now many many hydroponic
and gardening stores on every street corner. In those stores are all kinds
of grow lights, large pots and fertilizers for growing just about
everything. For others not so fortunate to have the money or land, the
average person can consume a product called "Soylent Green".
