The first thing to recognise and then except is that there IS a problem ! Just going off the crop losses around the globe last year (and this year) convinces me that there is indeed a trend not of global warming but global cooling ...records year by year is a good exercise ..recording data reveals a history of events ,future actions can be determined and planned for.... with some degree of informed success .
I often wonder why BIG money is being spent on underground seed banks ? Plus underground shelters for habitation by the rich ,the government's and professionals to man them .
Well ,I have four poly tunnels and a greenhouse and LED lights and some heaters along with some solar
Panels ,and loads of seeds , wood stove and like MB I have built my home and insulated the shit out of it .....in short I have done all I can do just about ,within my power and means .
It sounds really good what you've got so far. Just keep adding stuff slowly. The channels I posted on my first post have loads of info on prepping for the coming ice age. There are also a number of good books.

If you can, I would recommend Geo Thermal heating - it's almost completely passive and only requires a fan to circulate the warm air:

This man is growing lemons in -25 or lower. I think we still have quite some time to prep properly for this, but only until 2020-2021. This winter will be intense, but 2019 and beyond will be insane.
