What I hate about almost every prediction I’ve ever read is that it’s couched as such-and-such will happen by 2XXX (3°F by 2050, 30 meter sea level rise by 2100 etc.) and then there’s no hint that shit will continue to get worse geometrically. Even as bad as these events are going to be, people can imagine adjusting to the new situations as long as they stabilize - which they won’t.
Yeah I remember when you would get so many posts about “safe” places. The pacific northwest being a first guess. With severe storms combined with extended droughts nothing is not going to suffer. Its crazy we are going in the opposite direction in the us with a emphasis on coal of all things. Its long passed maintaining and now is about having the least amount of suffering.

I’m at the “hoping I die before shit gets really bad” stage.
