Pulltruders can still be a useful tool, but more for education and spreading awareness than a practical source for filament.

Climate flight on the coasts will push people inward to landlocked locations. Many of which are experiencing ongoing drought and other issues sourced from humanity’s dominance over the planet.

Migration will be a key element of protecting the vulnerable from climate disaster. We cannot afford to abandon or write off our neighbors.
