Hello, Homo sapiens. You've proven your ability to adapt to anything other species can throw at you. You're quickly rising to the top of the food chain... on an evolutionary timescale, of course. They say that evolution is the survival of the fittest, so you must really want to survive. Now I want to play a game, where we'll find out just how much you want to live, when what you need to adapt to... is coming from your own species.

i mean compared to a lot of places sure, but 2021 really hosed us up (particularly BC where we had a lot of deaths and highways destroyed) and 2022 hasn't gone so well either. droughts, wildfires, landslides, storm surges, heat domes, etc etc

ie we're not winners we're just not losing as hard

yeah, it's like that post in the op

quote:

The news is full of stories of weather destroying other parts of the world like Mozambique and Puerto Rico, and conflicts breaking out in areas hit by drought, famine, and disease. It's also full of stories about migrants trying to come to the developed world. It never mentions that the two things are connected, and never explores the fact that the migrants are moving because they can no longer live in their homes

and even it manages to be kinda overly optimistic about reporting and such

anyway the real 'fun' of biosphere collapse was always going to be the migration part. the developed world responds so well to that.

the general rule everyone acts on in claiming poo poo like that is that being closer to the poles means you'll be cooler

so the tropical belt expanding and roasting the southern united states means that when the northern latitudes are roasted they'll be comparatively cooler and more mild

these places still exist on this planet though so Canada is now experiencing weather that in the past was restricted to warmer, lower latitudes

Canada is still hosed just in less ways than Phoenix or Florida. "Climate Proof Duluth" still has to eat food grown elsewhere. There aren't winners there are just worse stages of losers.

Compare the coverage to something like the Russian invasion of Ukraine and I think you'll understand people's expectations better. I think a lot of people are accustomed to the idea that anything that doesn't receive 24/7 news coverage isn't a big deal.
