Mike Tidwell, impassioned director of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, crossed a Rubicon.

Faced with weather shocks knocking out electricity and Republican political ascendancy seeking to knock truth out of public discourse, Tidwell is "changing his life again." As Mike put it in a Washington Post OPED today,

I'm not a survivalist or an "end times" enthusiast. When it comes to climate change, I'm just a realist.

While Mike will almost certainly continue his battle to foster societal climate mitigation efforts, he is turning (at least some of) his energy to preparing for battling through a climate devastated future.

For those aware of climate change (and Peak oil and ...), there is a simple question to ask: have you reached this point?
