Climate Change/Mass Extinction Megathread

Alabama? Maybe. Tennessee is in the mountains though

I meant people from the coastal areas move inland.  "blue states".  Not the ocean.  Though I realize the double meaning now

I think we're on the cusp of major changes. The climate will get worse before it gets better. If it gets better - no one wants to really do anything as long as it threatens a country's economic development and competitiveness.

And making it better and/or adapting will require major changes across the entirety of society and will create a huge upheaval either way. EU and US will have to significantly strengthen their borders. Question is what happens when they face their own migrants, e.g. if parts of Spain or Italy become unsustainable to live in, or if US coastal cities are flooded?

If that happens I'll go and open a pub in Canada near the North-West Passage. We'll serve authentic goulash. Made out of moose.

You can come to North Vancouver.  We are on a mountain so sea level rise won't be so bad, and our climate is becoming like Southern California.

I live on a hill, about 43 feet up and two blocks from the ocean.  When I am old I will live on an island.

This has been said every single winter since the mid-80s.

Using those click bait terms complete with RANDOM CAPITALIZING is really disheartening.

Well, he is stuck in Washington when he'd rather be in Florida.

He went to Florida on Tuesday.

[Eddie Teach]

D'oh!

[Solmyr]

Can you somehow get him to go to Florida when a hurricane strikes there? Preferably for a beach vacation.

But we're are not, some other people, some other place, they'll more often than not be poorer people in marginal places; relatively wealthy people will do ok, money will generally overcome the inconveniences.

Just depends how much you're prepared to turn a blind eye to the suffering of others?
