Every time someone posts about an area being good or resilient to climate change it suffers a massive disaster in the following months. It's really funny because it just keeps happening without fail.

The smoke from those eventually ends up in Europe, let alone the great lakes. You get it either way.


My fiance (still hasn't hit, I typed GF at first) and I plan to move to the Great Lakes region specifically due to climate change reasons. Half the reason I put a ring on it is that she was willing to listen and takes it seriously, plus it's not like we have a chance at getting any real estate, in our native but doomed dry California.

Although, I figure once it gets bad enough everyone else is going to get the same idea and we'll just have a refugee and displaced person crisis that will dwarf even ones created by wars. I don't know what comes after that.

My retirement plan is dying of dysentery in a camp waiting to be let into Canada on humanitarian grounds. They weren't ever going to let us in, or maybe the US didn't want to let us out, but they took the paperwork anyway.

Nah, I can sort of read French but I can't speak it, and I'm pretty useless on the degree front. Finger Lakes it is.

Great Lakes are a good option if you don't mind your cell walls sloughing off from PFAS toxicity from the loving rain

the northeast seems to fair pretty well in the next couple of decades at the very least. my hometown of Philadelphia has a deeply-ingrained inferiority complex, but that is derived from our relative economical and historical unimportance compared to our neighbors. so we might hit that sweet spot of being small enough to be neglected as a military target but large enough to still wield leverage as a regional power in the After. that's the square I'll be putting my chips on

People tend to make the common mistake of believing that a situation will last forever.
Just a reminder for those still bargaining about where to ride this out -- nowhere is safe. Great Lakes Region? Sure... but you will either freeze to death, die from heatstroke in a high humidity summer, deal with torrential flooding, or get caught up in the sectarian violence that's coming (Great Lakes has huge amount of right wing whacko chuds that arent going anywhere)... oh, and yea I forgot the huge amount of pollution that lingers from when we hadn't rusted into the Rust Belt yet

to be clear by northern ontario i mean like sudbury not like actual northern ontario. and even then only because it’s just far enough to avoid a lot of people coming and there’s a poo poo ton of lakes.

the real answer to any of these questions is wherever you can form a community because doing it alone is lol

Noted safe place to grow food and drink lake water: within a 100km radius of Sudbury, Ontario.

As a result of the high lead emissions from the Inco Superstack, the surrounding community of Copper Cliff was found to have levels of lead in soil tests at a level sufficient to cause harm to young children.

i didn't say it was perfect. but it's going to be livable versus somewhere where your town burns down every summer. i don't give a poo poo either way, i'm pretty sure i'll be fine where i am in ontario or where i retire in the maritimes, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

not saying they won’t

it’s just less likely, especially in areas projected to get more rather than less water due to climate change.

If they even survive to adulthood. 5 years ago 70% of moose calves were dying from winter ticks, and I doubt that's improved after several more years of mild winters.

the community I lived and taught in north of Slave Lake used to shut school down all October for the moose harvest. made a big pedagogical event out of it, full of cultural teachings and big community poo poo. so many moose you couldn’t do anything but share it all according to need.

the last year I was there they took in four moose.

so did anyone else chew on styrofoam cups as a kid? Every once in a while I remember doing that and realize why I am bad at posting

e: to be clear, I'm not saying that I went out and grabbed styrofoam cups just to chew on them. I mean more like "I was at an event with my parents, got bored after I finished eating, and bit chunks off of the cup because I was a bored 5 year old"
