Where in the world do you think would be best to live with regards to the risks associated with climate change

[F0RBIDDEN]

So, say in a hundred years time. Where do you think might be safest to avoid the worst of the fires, floods, extreme heat etc ?

I work in the field of sustainability so spend my working days thinking about this stuff. I don't normally engage in much discussion outside of work on the matter because I need to disengage for my own well-being.

Norway.

New Zealand would be my choice.

Anchorage Alaska

Yeah it is happening.

@MichaelAndEagle my DH works in sustainability. I'm a retired psychotherapist, so my working life was steeped in people's distress on all subjects.
Anyway we don't avoid it here, but we don't go on and on because we both know so what would be the point? Mental health protection always a priority.

Canada’s fire issues is more about having underfunded forestry than climate change. Services were centralized, so it’s taking longer to get to the sites, they are allowing bigger spread before intervention, and the equipment is outdated. People are working in office type settings vs on the ground. The ground crews are not local and are unfamiliar with the back roads and ranchers.
calling it climate related shuts down the discussion.

💞 This. Or Titan, another moon.

'Climate change' is just a doomsday cult that's been prophesying the end of the world every decade for decades. The world's been many different temperatures etc in the past. We'll be absolutely fine, like we were in other times in history when they had other temperatures.

I'm thinking Northern Canada, but not too far north

😹

We are in deep shit. A lot of these places that will be supposedly inhabitable are bare rock under the current ice. Good luck growing food without soil.

You mean this sort of Northern Canada? This is today in the Northern Territories.

That's not what Edward Struzik, who has written a number of books on the environment including two specifically on the threat from fire, said five minutes ago on C4 news.

And up rises Zealandia from the waves, so still the best place to be.

New Zealand? Really? Not that I think that anywhere is immune.

Yeah it's not.

Good luck growing food without CO2.

Look up Global Adaptation Initiative - New Zealand among the top countries best equipped to deal with climate change - they look at arable land, water supply etc. I have a few friends who have already moved there from Australia, where I am.

You're not going to escape climate change - so best to look at the countries best positioned to deal with it.

I thought it was new Zealand hence why all the billionaires have bunkers there

And when exactly, in human history were temperatures 2C warmer than they are now?

Conspiracy theories are comfort blankets.

@EmilyBrontesGhost net zero means not adding any more CO2, not taking it all out.
