I'm thinking we each make our own little ecosystem, maybe a half an acre would be enough. Maybe make it double walled, just in case, and then say screw it to everyone else as climate change and various other big things occur on the outside.

The gun turrets on the roof that keep away the roaming marauders need to be self sustaining too.

We can make a supply chain that runs through these double walls underground, passing ammunition and other stuff.

It would get too hot in most places, I think. Glass, especially if double walled, stops the heat getting out, but most of the heat from the sun will be able to get in (as infra-red). So you'd need supporting systems (i.e. air conditioning) outside.

Maybe lasers then?

Local warming is a myth, the dome is just going through a natural cycle of warming and cooling!

After initial transportation failures, sealed terrariums were used by Robert Fortune to send stolen tea seedlings from China to India,[1] thus helping the British to break the nineteenth Century Chinese monopoly on tea production.
