- Center of the northern part of the peninsula. It's not going to be underwater for a drat long time. Likewise, not really vulnerable to hurricanes.
- On top of a huge aquifer. Of course, it's being overdrawn, most notably by the likes of Nestle, who wants to quadruple their take at a nearby spring. But this is a great example of a water rights battle worth fighting.
- Wildfires and hotter-than-normal days do happen in FL but they are surprisingly rare. It's hot and humid as hell in the summer, but remarkably consistent. There's really no need for a forecast between late May and early October. There will be a high of about 90 and a low of about 75, and a coin flip on rain.
- What we can see about the major effects of climate change so far is that what had been uncommon disasters now happen every year, and will presumably just get worse. California has always had a problem with fires. Now it really does! North Florida, on the other hand, is not especially disaster prone, so there's not much bad to get worse.
- The upper midwest will still have soul-crushingly cold winters, which may even get worse with an unstable polar vortex. gently caress that

I wonder if there would be any appetite for a climate migration thread. I would really love to one, hear other, more qualified people's advice; and two, help more chill c-spam goons to help the great white north stay cool. Certainly people outside this thread might call the idea histrionic, but let's be realistic. poo poo's happening in our lifetime and we might as well move before everyone does.

I live on the east coast of Florida so I’ve been in an anxious state for years. I know I should move, but I have a good job and am incredibly lazy. I just wait for a large hurricane to wipe out my home and employment to force a change.

Migration is easier for remote workers and retired or younger people. It sucks for mid career people whose company is tied to a region.

Do you quit a job in a historical depression to “beat the rush” on the off chance you’ll be in a better place when the collapse accelerates? Or is it better to stay put and squeeze every last dollar out of a more stable employment situation and cultivate a mobile mindset?

If society continues on its neolib hellscape: Will dollars or rights to property matter more in the future?

The socialist answer is build the community where you live, but what if where you live is going to be underwater in this lifetime.


Anyway, I am good about cleaning the dishes, so invite me to goon compound. At least there will be content for the end of days.

I'd be interested in a thread about this as as well. It has been on my mind a lot lately as my partner and I are finishing school soon and looking to move out of state next Spring. Climate change has absolutely been a factor in our discussions about which places we're willing/able to move to. Our immediate families are unfortunately rooted in California and Florida respectively (lol) and want us to live close to them, but that ain't happening for a variety of reasons up to and including climate change.

yeah this is ultimately why a thread or discussion on it is mostly pointless because all but the single (or couples in the same catagory), severed, well-off/wealthy, tech/ad WFH peons, (and ideally white) have any real chance at doing it. that applies to some goons but not most of us. so it's just dumb wishing and you are never going to completely escape some chance of disasters, everyplace has something.

and trying to go to some stupid boonies and become a pseudo-prepper is dumb as hell. That said, the ideal places i would prob want to be in the coming decades that are actually feasible for a fair amount of people to go to, has actual civilization and good local weather/land for agriculture, and people to work together with a community:

ideally not america > america:
- montreal, vancouver (or northish BC) in that order
- auckland or christchurch are both amazing and i worked in ChCh for several months in the past and do want to move there sometime here soon

if you are stuck in america for some god forsaken reason, then the preference would be in some sort of order like this:
-seattle/olympia
-burlington, vermont
-maine, anywhere (basically getting as north as possible is ideal)
-great lakes
-e: i should add hawaii might be OK, it's certainly going to get some unprecedented hurricanes and that'll be bad if/when it happens, but it gets really good rainfall, somewhat decent top-soil for farming some stuff (although it requires a lot of imports for other things but those are possible to do without just fine, see native population living just fine pre-colonialism), and one of the most community-oriented states i've been to.

and if none of those work:

aren't they super polluted? not that it matters lol

but yeah. i also think northern vermont/maine might be good too, also water and good weather (which will only get nicer) and a little too far north for hurricanes and a little too close to the coast for polar vortexes. seattle/olympia area is also super nice and sources of water, but the rest of the state will prob burn down and who knows

northern florida is gonna get more hurricane-prone once it becomes coastal

plus the job market utterly sucks there. and that, combined with the largely pleasant weather, means that Florida is dominated by the petty minor rich, to a level comparable to that of California

i grew up in northern Florida, it's an awful place and I never wanna go back. a suburban hellscape filled with wealthy olds

As a California escapee the Great Lakes have been pretty nice so far. We're not in a flood zone here and for all everyone told me the winter would kick my rear end it was fine tbh.

The food's not as fresh and people are a bit more openly racist but everything else is great. Definitely do not miss the fires or high cost of living.

Of course the reason we were able to move is because partner's employer finally let them work remote, right before the pandemic would've forced them to anyway. And we had family already here who provided support while we found a place.

But if you're in the incredibly fortunate position to be able to, come to the Great Lakes!

The streak through KS and OK is the Flint Hills, full of tallgrass prairie. Looks like there's a large reservation at that dark spot in OK, maybe they don't have the resources to control bigger fires.

I'm from Florida, so I'm already resistant to that poo poo :getin:

Fun anecdote about climate change and the spread of tropical diseases - there was recently a minor outbreak of Equine Encephalitis, a fatal disease spread by mosquitoes, in Massachussetts. This virus is endemic in Florida and kills a handful of people every year, most of them from out of state or country. The fact that the outbreak happened in Massachussetts indicates that the population wasn't ready for diseased tropical mosquitoes. But we are.

So actually its the north that's screwed as tropical diseases spread
