Yes if you read NPR or BBC their advice wrt climate change for rich white people has been "move to Canada/Norway!" for a couple years now. This is not going to work, nowhere is safe.

Real hurthling! posted:20th century western planners seeing a river through rough terrain: lets put a road right on top of this mfer It's way easier to build a road through the mountains at the bottom of a valley than the top of the ridgeline or halfway up the mountain. In most places this has been fine, they can engineer around predictable erosion and seasonal flooding. But then you get the wildfires which completely destroy the ability of the ground to absorb water and suddenly the old forest is now basically a desert that immediately flash floods and it causes mudslides with huge rocks or and logs washing down every hillside. Not great for roads. Or you just get a heatwave that melts all the snow at once hahaha

Yeah I guess you could move to some barren rock island in Norway where everything is already dead, then it wouldn't be so damaging on a psychic horror level to watch the forest die.

Proposal: a climate change policy for "sustainability" and "harm reduction" Reality: a man falls through a sinkhole into Montana catacombs. taking a torch from the wall he spies row upon row of skeletons. grasping the nearest by the shoulders, he shakes it madly, yelling "my n----a have u tried switching to an EV"

You're obviously right though. I'm extremely privileged but I'm also expecting to have to learn to manage wildfires in a climate where they just don't happen. My neighbors are going to be side eyeing me clearing all this space around my house right up until their homes burn down in a completely novel wildfire.

I haven't seen much in the news headlines but I've come across a bunch of social media posts about massive outages. 161,000 Duke energy customers were out of power in the Kentucky and Ohio areas of Greater Cincinnati last night. Per the news this afternoon it was down to 57,000 without power. Keep in mind customers is just an account, could be one person, could be 10, could be a factory of 200. https://twitter.com/WLWT/status/1536840177271840771?s=20&t=dkZJGOCxha2kl7h-w8Mjcw
