At what point do we see places like this just being abandoned permanently in the face of ever more frequent climate disasters

Oh what am I saying, we'll have people too poor or stupid to leave even as the seas rise and claim them

Edit: definitely will have some people too poor to leave too :(

Moving is expensive for a reason and some people don't have a choice. So while there might be stupid and stubborn people in these areas, don't disparage the ones who are there and have no choice in the matter because of their financial situation. It's the same logic that was used back with Katrina and "why didn't the people who stayed pack up their cars and leave?"

Because they didn't have cars, or if they did, they didn't have the money to afford the gas and lodging inland.

The rich will flee and the poor will die, same with every other time in history in every culture with staggering levels of inequality. A lot of the poor will die to right wing militia adventurism going in and just shooting people indiscriminately with state sanction

Yeah I know, that came off as too disparaging. If you want me to rephrase there will be people who are too poor to leave, people who are too stubborn, or people who are simply abandoned by the state. Or some combination thereof.

The image in my mind was that picture of the flooding nursing home during Harvey with wheelchair-bound seniors in waist-high water. At some point the rescues just won't come anymore. Much like we've already seen people rationalize those more vulnerable to Covid due to age or disability as an acceptable loss.

I know this is going to sound premature given that it snowed in August in parts of the country, but I think with all the aerosols leeching into the atmosphere from these fires that we're looking at another "Year Without a Winter" at this point.

Wasn't the ejecta from Tambora like, orders of magnitude more than even what we've had so far? Or was it because it was shot up so much higher and had lots of horrible other chemicals in it

Gaia the Earth Mother. lmao

All those people are wrong. There's no soft, gentle, Earth Mother watching over her creations.

We have Gaia the Creator, Queen of Survival. She's not decked in pretty flowers, she's covered in the skins of those species deemed too weak to survive, using the bones of the dead as weapons while watching dispassionately the suffering of those in her stead, for her goal is not gentle cuddling but the honing of the capable and the use of the weak to fuel them.

agreed, gently caress gaia. we must destroy her

it likely has more to do with global warming disrupting polar wind patterns

blasts of cold in the northern US tend to come from the polar vortex weakening or becoming unstable, allowing arctic air masses to head further south than usual

Yeah, I was just prefacing my thought with the mention of snow in August/September because even here someone might fire back with "but it's already snowing how can you say there won't be a Winter? :downs:"

We're basically riding a wave of false normalcy that lasts for as long as insurance companies continue to support these communities. There'll be a hiccup at some point due to a really bad storm or some other event, we'll get more federal support along the lines of flood insurance, and then it'll eventually come collapsing down spectacularly when that's no longer viable.

We could also begin policies of managed retreat right now since that's both the most humane and most cost-effective option, but we won't.

Oregoons affected by the fires, Literally A Person has asked me to pass along that he has space available if you need to evacuate someplace safe:

:siren:On a more serious note:siren:

Upon talking about this Pinus and I are both in agreement that since we are in one of the least (still in the AQI 150 zone) affected areas we are offering up space to goons who may need it. If you are desperate contact me via PM or just post at me ITT. I will read it. We have an extra room that could easily sleep like 10 people if you don't have qualms with privacy. We can also fit a couple small RV's or travel trailers. I know it'd be a long trip for most of you but anyone without another choice please consider it. Once again, please DO NOT burn/suffocate to death guys.
