The difference with these people over the huge number of other people who are driven by the same thing is that these people got lucky because their project made them a lot of money. Once they had their ticket to the money train then as the train rolled on the money rolled in.
Two unrelated points you have missed. There was a massive migration to the south because of the invention of air conditioning. There has also been a migration to flood and hurricane prone areas due to the federal flood insurance program. For decades insurance rates to not reflect the actual risk of living in these areas due to the federal insurance program taking this risk from the property owners. The result has been to build in areas that will be damaged by weather. These costs are not driven up by climate change, but by the existence of the federal flood insurance program.
The irony that these places were made livable by the invention of air conditioning and air conditioning has contributed to global warming from all the CO2 produced to power the AC...
@@neitan6891 Can you prove any of that. No you can't. Post a temp map of earth for the last 3 or 400 years. We should see some kind of large undeniable spike in temp increases in FL, TX, the US, the Earth etc.
@@armystrongbone please look up how refrigeration works and how the properties of AC work. The added “extra” energy along with the failure of older AC units along with cars which if the AC unit is used - increase the fuel burned. All of that contributes to the release of more CO2. The more that is released. The more heat that is trapped. Additionally - AC only works efficiently in certain temperature ranges anything above a specific design temperature and the unit will use more energy and (depending on your state energy grid) release more CO2.
@@neitan6891 baloney. There were tens of millions living there long before AC even came along they just built their houses different...with draw flows, ceiling fans, cardigan windows, and attic fans and lots of ice makers. I didn't have AC until 1967 in south east Texas and everyone did just fine. I actually liked the fan draw on elevated houses better than AC. It was more confortable and it was cool. We even changed the cardigan window direction during certain times of day for full air flow thru the house. When the suburban builders from California and Illinois came down here and build these tract houses that didn't make any sense, they had to have AC or you'd die in 110 degree boxed in heat. They didn't think about that and didn't care.

Except that's not quite true; poor Black, Hispanic, and Native American communities get hit disproportionately hard, according to the study, in the worst-hit states. Because those states serve the white population and affluent population (the Karens, who look like me) first. I wish we could carve up the Bezos estate when he dies and use it to establish a trust fund to provide money for every low-income worker, disabled person, or indigenous person who needs to move north and buy property to start a farm, small business, or have a 5 year head start to find a job and/or get job training or some kind of technical college/community college degree that would probably be more useful than more fancy institutions at this point. Kind of a reverse land grab, the way the US provided "40 acres and a mule" to any non-black person who would go settle Oklahoma once the last treaties with the Native Americans were broken and we stole the last land we herded them all into. (Because seriously, have you ever seen that "Jeff Bezos' wealth compared to the rest of the planet? He could cover the college and healthcare debts of Every. Single.

You can move, but when vast swathes of land that have hitherto been used for agricultural production can no longer support crops (or, for hardier GMOs, the working conditions in the fields are impossible for humans), food insecurity will move right along with you. Don't get fooled into thinking that all you can do is adapt or die. Demand change via organized movements to put pressure on the elites and minimize the damage. Alone (the individual, atomized consumer) you are powerless, yet there's a lot to fight for that you may not even realize.
I hate to spoil it for you, but if you put pressure on "the elites" to minimize the damage, they'll try to do so in ways that don't hurt THEM. They'll enact measures that triple or quadruple the price of gasoline, because THEY can afford to pay the difference (even so much as to fuel their private jets and stuff). Meanwhile, you can't afford to go visit your aging parents or do things like that.

And, I might add, such a place is more environmentally-friendly that way; when your town is small enough that 2-4 people make the bus trip when it goes into town, it's just less environmentally-conscious to take a whole bus (even a short bus) because it doesn't get as many MPG as a car or minivan.
@@philipmcniel4908 Well, it's impossible to actually change anything without the elites taking some of the heat, which is precisely why, instead of doing even what you're envisioning here, they've done diddly squat. What you're describing is kind of like the BP "carbon footprint" media campaign, where the company tried to shift the blame for their environmental impact to consumers. Sure, regular people will have it worse than the rich even if action is taken, but the government definitely can and should subsidize green energy to even a percentage of the degree it subsidizes oil (which just shouldn't be funded at all), to lessen the burden on everyone. They already spend public funds on that sector of the economy, they just boost the worst parts of it. But you will only get that level of systemic change through organizing. Don't leave it up to Manchin and Sinema.

The only way people are going to be able to live in that area in the future is to go underground. And even then, the lack of water resources is going to make it extremely difficult. The snows that used to fall in the Rockies in the past to feed the Colorado river won't be sufficient anymore to supply water. I predict that people will be forced to abandon large sections of land in the western states in Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Western Colorado, and even parts of Texas.

Expertly done. A warming arctic means a weakening jetstream. This is why air masses of all types are staying in source regions longer and becoming more intense. For instance our thunderstorms and tropical storms are feed by warmer air and more moisture, becoming more intense and frequent. AG1
@@thomasmaughan4798 The speed of the jet stream depends on the difference in temperature between the Arctic and the Equator. The Arctic is warming faster than the Equator, so the temperature difference is getting smaller, thereby slowing the jet stream. A slower jet stream meanders north and south more than a faster jet stream. When it meanders north, warm air from the south can go farther north. When it meanders south, cold air from the north can go farther south. Sometimes the meandering waves stall, causing the current associated weather to stall as well. If the stalled weather is heavy rain, you get nasty floods. If the stalled weather is hot and dry, you can more easily get forest fires. The bottom line? What goes on in the Arctic doesn't stay in the Arctic.

@@jamesgabor9284 how much do you believe that humans have an affect on the climate? You seem to have a level headed objective view on the subject so I am curious
@@ArkansasGamer I believe that humans do have an effect on the environment of course, but climate is a tricky subject in that case, there are a million different explanations for why the average temperature is rising. the greenhouse effect is indeed a real thing, we can see this clearly, however, getting rid of our greenhouse emissions won’t magically solve any problems (to do with climate that is, air quality will get better, especially in countries like China and India). All in all, I do think that CO2 emissions cause global warming, but I think it’s mostly just accelerating a problem that has existed for a much longer time and that wasn’t caused by us.
It's interesting to note that the southern states, where many of the nation's most vociferous deniers of climate change live, could be the most affected by its immediate effects. It's also interesting to note that the regions of the U.S. that are most opposed to immigration across our southern border may soon be immigrants themselves. And, finally, since climate change deniers tend to be poorly educated, low-information citizens, how is their arrival in the northern states going to improve the economies of these states? It seems as if it might have the opposite effect.
When they arrive tell them to go back because climate change doesn't exist remember. If they refuse then kill them, they are dangerous, untrustworthy and unhinged people,
No, Southerners simply understand science. Actual science. While you Democrats reject all science and wouldn't comprehend any of it if you didn't. What you are is a member of a religious cult. You even use the language of a religious cult, calling non-cultists "deniers!"
What's telling is your judgement that people who see things differently than you must be poorly educated, low-information citizens. Perhaps they actually have as much information or more than you do, but they haven't bought into the propaganda like you have. Only time will tell. All I know for sure is that all the cries of sea level rise over the past decades are absolute bullshit. The water level is still at the same place it was 40 years ago when I was a kid, with the same high tide and low tide marks. You may trust 'the data', which is numbers that can be manipulated by anyone who pays for a study to be done and you put your faith in the validity of those numbers, but I trust evidence I can see with my own eyes.
I was once a climate change skeptic, after a number of years of honest information review, I now feel that your scenarios are quite optimistic. First reason is, were not really doing a thing about it... no one wants to give up their lifestyle, until its too late
Precisely, it's a damn shame too, there are far too many forces conspiring against effective action and unfortunately too many people who need to see ecological distaters galore - on their own doorstep - to believe anything needs to be done.
In all seriousness, what do you think changed your mind on this? The science has always been there. The 'experts'/scientific community have been saying the same thing for decades, but if anything I get the impression that the American public broadly is only getting more entrenched in existing views.

Now consider the position of Canada, which must brace itself for the coming threat from their southern neighbors desperate to survive, and willing to use any means to invade and occupy their land, take over their government. In Asia, the nation in the best position is mighty Russia, the largest contiguous nation in the world, with more land than they can use. But also the location where a huge proportion of greenhouse gases will be rising from as the permafrost goes into deep defrost cycle. In addition, toward the turn of the next century, it may become viable to have vast settlements on the southern continent of Antarctica, where wars may be fought over it's occupation by the major powers. But like Russia, that land holds a dangerous landmine of ancient viruses being thawed out and unleashed back upon the world by the thawing permafrost. It would seem that the plan et is all but guaranteed now, to experience yet another Mass Extinction Event that will again bottleneck all remaining species. No other species has been able to accomplish such a feat in billions of years, showing that humans are the equivalent of an asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, or a deadly virus that wiped out life on a planet. It boggles the mind, what humans did out of greed and stupidity.
If we want to effectively tackle these problems, what we need is to focus only on measures that have a real impact 1) distance tax: a tax that increases the longer the goods are shipped or transported- this incentivizes a local economy and stops the mess of goods running around the world for no reason. 2) female education- the more educated the less children they will have, as overpopulation is a huge problem 3) tackle income inequality- tax the super wealthy and the multinationals, make them pay the right share, no more tax avoidance or producing in countries with lower regulations. Big companies need the most resources and make up the biggest polluters, so local and smaller is better. 4) universal basic income so people dont have "to make a living" at any cost and follow their passions- no damaging, stupid or unnecessary work 5) make hemp biodiesel (and other biodiesels) make up 30% of all fuel compulsory in the economy and make investments. Tackle food waste and make it maximal 5% of all produced. Go towards 0% fossil fuels with improved technology. Swap most plastics for hemp-derived materials 6) sustainability index- make an index of the worst environmental offender-practices. Ban those that are not needed and bring within limits those that can be made sustainable. Use taxes to incentivize/disincentivize 7) go towards a bio-adapted infrastructure such as passages for the wild under highways and so forth. Go back to natural farming, drop all intensive farming, is healthier anyway. Decrease production of animal products. Abandon chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides, all not sustainable. 8) we need a working UN back in some form, to protect areas such as the amazonas and other strategically important parts of the world for the ecology. Besides that we need first nation countries to invest in countries that are lagging behind, as the investment would yield much greater results. This is a global challenge. 9) drop all the measures that wont make any difference and accept that we cant control it 100% at this point. Maybe there are some benefits in a warmer climate too.

I once asked a friend of mine who worked for the Forest Service for over 25 years, starting in the 1970s, about the fires out here in the west. I said, "I hear some people saying the fires are bigger and more common now due to climate change, while others are saying they're due to mismanagement and environmental legislation that limits logging and brush clearing. What do you know about this?" He responded, "It's neither of those things. The conditions were such that bad fire seasons like this could've happened back in the '70s. It's just that nothing happened to spark them in those years." Looking back on Oregon's terrible fire season last summer, I can't deny that he's right. A number of those fires, including the one that consumed the towns of Phoenix and Talent, were started by arson, which isn't a direct result of climate change. Others were sparked by blown-over power lines, which is a result of aging infrastructure more than climate change. (It's true that we had one unseasonable windstorm that sparked fires by blowing over power lines, but those windstorms are common here in western Oregon--it's just that they almost always occur in winter when everything is damp--and one isolated windstorm is an example of weather, not climate.)
@@neitan6891 I don't know where you're from, so I can only speak for my own area (southwestern Oregon, about 20 miles from the coast in terms of straight-line distance). Back when I was a kid, sometime around the 1990s to early 2000s, we used to have about 5 days over 100 degrees every year; it wasn't _too_ unusual for them to hit 105. Then, we went through an unusually-cold spell that lasted for some years (I think it was sometime around the early 2010s, maybe started a little earlier than than that); I remember one summer when it hardly cracked 70, and I don't know that it even touched 80. The winters around that time were unusually cold by coastal standards; one got down to 10 degrees and another got really close. Now, it looks like we're getting back to the temperatures I used to see back in the '90s, but maybe it's getting that hot less consistently. I suppose if someone had been born or moved to the area in the mid-2000s they would have gotten an idea of what weather is "normal" here based on those cooler years when it almost never touched 90 degrees for awhile.
@@michaelcap9550 I haven't seen any specific evidence linking Oregon's rural fires to Antifa (keep in mind, I am not talking about urban fires here). I'm not saying for sure that they didn't do it, but I have my doubts they even know or care to know about some of the places those fires started.
In the past I saw designs for large carbon scrubbers for the atmosphere but the power they would need is high. The only solution for them is fusion reactors. This why when the Fusion reactor program is finished being built and tested it will be the next step in the progression of humanity.

But human civilisation developed in this interglacial, not previous ones. Our societies became sedentry and we built our cities and our farms in this interglacial for the average temperatures and sea-levels we found ourselves in past few thousands of years. And now we are warming those temperatures and many cities are looking vulnerable to flooding. Those homes at risk to more and stronger storms and wildfires. Those farms at higher risk to drought and disease. In previous interglacials there were relatively few humans (and/or various homonids) and they were mobile and adaptable hunter-gatherers. This is not what we are now.
And Louisiana has taken yet another massive Hurricane hit this year, it's becoming an almost annual occurrence .If anything will encourage people to move further north once again, it'll be annual Cat 4/5 Hurricanes, doing the same thing and causing the same damage year after year, until insurance premiums drive people to either move out of the region or risk foregoing insurance altogether, which can lead to ruin if your house gets battered.
Hurricane damage is worst within 100 miles or less of the coast. There's plenty of space in inland Louisiana for people to move north a bit and still be in Louisiana.
If you want to avoid long-term megadrought impacts in the future, you need to live east of the Great Plains, and ideally east of the Mississippi. Places downwind of the Great Lakes should be particularly drought protected--the climate is made milder and more humid by the presence of the lakes, and lake effect snow falls in winter, which can have helpful impacts on drought. Plus, the lakes provide plentiful water to cities and towns around them and maybe in the future, to farmers if needed. That gives you most of Michigan, northern Ohio, and western New York, mostly places with affordable land (and also many quite affordable cities and towns). You're also far enough north that summers are not continually scorching hot--even if you get long heat waves, you also get perfect pleasant weather in summer when a cold front blows through.
so , currently people are moving from cooler regions to warmer regions . says to me you're just plain wrong . follow the data . people like living in warmer places over colder places . if you're living in California id be more worried about increasing electricity generation shortfalls and rolling blackouts , skyrocketing electricity rates combined with increased poverty and homelessness from ridiculous income inequality and ever growing housing expenses . already many people are leaving cal , but not because of climate but quality of life , economic and social reasons .

Exactly. Climatologists - using results from some of the most complex simulations ever developed - readily admit that we don't truly know what's coming. The general consensus is that it ain't good. For Rust Belt cities like Detroit, Cleveland Buffalo and my city, Syracuse, it could be okay. The population of Syracuse was about 80k higher in 1950 than it is now. We have all this infrastructure that is no longer used. Instead of building many major metros in the FRIGGIN DESERT maybe people should've stayed up here. I'd rather have more cold than all this 95 and muggy shite we have now. But the new climate is better for crops; more rain and longer growing season.

For decades insurance rates to not reflect the actual risk of living in these areas due to the federal insurance program taking this risk from the property owners. The result has been to build in areas that will be damaged by weather. These costs are not driven up by climate change, but by the existence of the federal flood insurance program.

The added “extra” energy along with the failure of older AC units along with cars which if the AC unit is used - increase the fuel burned. All of that contributes to the release of more CO2.

Additionally - AC only works efficiently in certain temperature ranges anything above a specific design temperature and the unit will use more energy and (depending on your state energy grid) release more CO2.

"A warming arctic means a weakening jetstream"
How exactly do you know this? Why does a jetstream exist at all? Is a weak jetstream a Bad Thing (tm)?
@@thomasmaughan4798 The speed of the jet stream depends on the difference in temperature between the Arctic and the Equator. The Arctic is warming faster than the Equator, so the temperature difference is getting smaller, thereby slowing the jet stream. A slower jet stream meanders north and south more than a faster jet stream. When it meanders north, warm air from the south can go farther north. When it meanders south, cold air from the north can go farther south. Sometimes the meandering waves stall, causing the current associated weather to stall as well. If the stalled weather is heavy rain, you get nasty floods. If the stalled weather is hot and dry, you can more easily get forest fires. The bottom line?

I'm personally aiming for the same thing. Just purchased 10 acres in southern colorado, just north of the border with Nevada and close to San Luis. I'm hoping to establish a commune of like-minded people who want to live a low-impact lifestyle within roughly a decade's time or so.

We are in a state of global ecological overshoot, and have been for a while. We've exceeded the carrying capacity of the earth by about 73%, according to Dr. William Rees. Climate change is one of many symptoms of that overshoot. I believe the solution is beyond the current capabilities of homo sapiens. See any UA-cam video by Dr. Rees for details.

Now consider the position of Canada, which must brace itself for the coming threat from their southern neighbors desperate to survive, and willing to use any means to invade and occupy their land, take over their government. In Asia, the nation in the best position is mighty Russia, the largest contiguous nation in the world, with more land than they can use. But also the location where a huge proportion of greenhouse gases will be rising from as the permafrost goes into deep defrost cycle. In addition, toward the turn of the next century, it may become viable to have vast settlements on the southern continent of Antarctica, where wars may be fought over it's occupation by the major powers. But like Russia, that land holds a dangerous landmine of ancient viruses being thawed out and unleashed back upon the world by the thawing permafrost. It would seem that the plan et is all but guaranteed now, to experience yet another Mass Extinction Event that will again bottleneck all remaining species. No other species has been able to accomplish such a feat in billions of years, showing that humans are the equivalent of an asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, or a deadly virus that wiped out life on a planet.

If we want to effectively tackle these problems, what we need is to focus only on measures that have a real impact
1) distance tax: a tax that increases the longer the goods are shipped or transported- this incentivizes a local economy and stops the mess of goods running around the world for no reason.
2) female education- the more educated the less children they will have, as overpopulation is a huge problem
3) tackle income inequality- tax the super wealthy and the multinationals, make them pay the right share, no more tax avoidance or producing in countries with lower regulations. Big companies need the most resources and make up the biggest polluters, so local and smaller is better.
4) universal basic income so people dont have "to make a living" at any cost and follow their passions- no damaging, stupid or unnecessary work
5) make hemp biodiesel (and other biodiesels) make up 30% of all fuel compulsory in the economy and make investments. Tackle food waste and make it maximal 5% of all produced. Go towards 0% fossil fuels with improved technology. Swap most plastics for hemp-derived materials
6) sustainability index- make an index of the worst environmental offender-practices. Ban those that are not needed and bring within limits those that can be made sustainable. Use taxes to incentivize/disincentivize
7) go towards a bio-adapted infrastructure such as passages for the wild under highways and so forth. Go back to natural farming, drop all intensive farming, is healthier anyway. Decrease production of animal products. Abandon chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides, all not sustainable.
8) we need a working UN back in some form, to protect areas such as the amazonas and other strategically important parts of the world for the ecology. Besides that we need first nation countries to invest in countries that are lagging behind, as the investment would yield much greater results. This is a global challenge.
9) drop all the measures that wont make any difference and accept that we cant control it 100% at this point. Maybe there are some benefits in a warmer climate too.

I once asked a friend of mine who worked for the Forest Service for over 25 years, starting in the 1970s, about the fires out here in the west. I said, "I hear some people saying the fires are bigger and more common now due to climate change, while others are saying they're due to mismanagement and environmental legislation that limits logging and brush clearing. What do you know about this?"
He responded, "It's neither of those things. The conditions were such that bad fire seasons like this could've happened back in the '70s. It's just that nothing happened to spark them in those years."
Looking back on Oregon's terrible fire season last summer, I can't deny that he's right. A number of those fires, including the one that consumed the towns of Phoenix and Talent, were started by arson, which isn't a direct result of climate change. Others were sparked by blown-over power lines, which is a result of aging infrastructure more than climate change. (It's true that we had one unseasonable windstorm that sparked fires by blowing over power lines, but those windstorms are common here in western Oregon--it's just that they almost always occur in winter when everything is damp--and one isolated windstorm is an example of weather, not climate.)
This summer has been insanely hot though. We don't normally have this many days over 100.
@@neitan6891 I don't know where you're from, so I can only speak for my own area (southwestern Oregon, about 20 miles from the coast in terms of straight-line distance). Back when I was a kid, sometime around the 1990s to early 2000s, we used to have about 5 days over 100 degrees every year; it wasn't _too_ unusual for them to hit 105. Then, we went through an unusually-cold spell that lasted for some years (I think it was sometime around the early 2010s, maybe started a little earlier than than that); I remember one summer when it hardly cracked 70, and I don't know that it even touched 80. The winters around that time were unusually cold by coastal standards; one got down to 10 degrees and another got really close. Now, it looks like we're getting back to the temperatures I used to see back in the '90s, but maybe it's getting that hot less consistently.
I suppose if someone had been born or moved to the area in the mid-2000s they would have gotten an idea of what weather is "normal" here based on those cooler years when it almost never touched 90 degrees for awhile.
Antifa arson.
@@michaelcap9550 I haven't seen any specific evidence linking Oregon's rural fires to Antifa (keep in mind, I am not talking about urban fires here). I'm not saying for sure that they didn't do it, but I have my doubts they even know or care to know about some of the places those fires started.

Are we not currently in the COOLEST 10k year interglacial warming period out of the last five???
Isn't Florida usually under water right now?
But human civilisation developed in this interglacial, not previous ones.
Our societies became sedentry and we built our cities and our farms in this interglacial for the average temperatures and sea-levels we found ourselves in past few thousands of years. And now we are warming those temperatures and many cities are looking vulnerable to flooding. Those homes at risk to more and stronger storms and wildfires. Those farms at higher risk to drought and disease.
In previous interglacials there were relatively few humans (and/or various homonids) and they were mobile and adaptable hunter-gatherers. This is not what we are now.
And Louisiana has taken yet another massive Hurricane hit this year, it's becoming an almost annual occurrence .If anything will encourage people to move further north once again, it'll be annual Cat 4/5 Hurricanes, doing the same thing and causing the same damage year after year, until insurance premiums drive people to either move out of the region or risk foregoing insurance altogether, which can lead to ruin if your house gets battered.
Hurricane damage is worst within 100 miles or less of the coast. There's plenty of space in inland Louisiana for people to move north a bit and still be in Louisiana.
If you want to avoid long-term megadrought impacts in the future, you need to live east of the Great Plains, and ideally east of the Mississippi. Places downwind of the Great Lakes should be particularly drought protected--the climate is made milder and more humid by the presence of the lakes, and lake effect snow falls in winter, which can have helpful impacts on drought. Plus, the lakes provide plentiful water to cities and towns around them and maybe in the future, to farmers if needed. That gives you most of Michigan, northern Ohio, and western New York, mostly places with affordable land (and also many quite affordable cities and towns). You're also far enough north that summers are not continually scorching hot--even if you get long heat waves, you also get perfect pleasant weather in summer when a cold front blows through.

Given the information that has been recently coming out regarding the slowing of the AMOC and the Gulf Stream this will change the migration patterns, will it not? The Northern Hemisphere will be experiencing more chaotic weather patterns making it less desirable for habitation.
Exactly. Climatologists - using results from some of the most complex simulations ever developed - readily admit that we don't truly know what's coming. The general consensus is that it ain't good. For Rust Belt cities like Detroit, Cleveland Buffalo and my city, Syracuse, it could be okay. The population of Syracuse was about 80k higher in 1950 than it is now. We have all this infrastructure that is no longer used. Instead of building many major metros in the FRIGGIN DESERT maybe people should've stayed up here.
