Situation:
Two options for the farmer.
    1] - Continue living where he is, tilling the land hoping for a decent harvest.
        - Times are hard. His children are hungry and he constantly has no energy to work
        - The mother has fallen sick
 
     2] - A local government official drives up to the front door of the farm. He is offering all farmers in   this area the option of government help [they have just devised a new system which links the local people to the whole of australia. Giving them a voice.
         - Government aid
         - Food & supplies
         - Medicine

Strategies / Results:


Option 1
The follow diagrams show what will happen if worst case scenario is chosen;
    No fossil fuels - People can't use automobiles anymore.
    Crime and destruction













Due to such high temperatures and humidity no farmers can grow crops;
     - Everything is rotting





Option 2 
After 6 months the government aid which was offered at a early date is well and truly underway.
The local community has benifited widely with better infrastrcutre and technology available to them.
The future looks positive.
