Pretty sure the whole continent is fucked. :cool-zone: :blob-on-fire:
Apparently this fire happened in a small town with only one fire truck, and I can think of a ton of rural towns just like that here in the USA. Look at how fast the fire grew. I'm starting to think how many resources your city has to work with, (and how willing the city is to utilize them), might be more important then what state you live in. You know, if you're not planning on going totally anprim.
EDIT: Fucking hell, check out those clouds. Looks like a volcano blew up.
Don't worry, the temp recorded in BC was only 7C off of the hottest temp recorded on the planet.
Oh it's more than that now, it looks like they're having a hard time with the influx of corpses.
Sounds like we'll get an official updated number tomorrow.
hey if things get too bad we can all just become climate refugees duuuh ever consider that one bigbrain
Honestly I think that the term "expat" has a far shittier connotation than "immigrant"
Expat implies you're just there because of market forces recognized by a multi-national conglomerate.
Migrant implies you're moving somewhere to exploit the locals by participating in the bountiful service sector economy and ghettoized rental real estate market.
Everyone knows the difference between a Maker and a Taker.
Nothing people love more during a time of scarcity + crisis than a massive influx of people from another country!
Living out in the woods to escape wildfires, mudslides, large regional droughts, and heat stroke?
It's a bold move, Cotton. Let's see how it plays out.
its almost like people have been nomadic for most of human history because those problems are easier to avoid (with a small enough population) than to solve (with a reluctant, decadent society).
People have been nomadic because large game populations afforded nomad communities abundant raw materials to sustain them. But the Holocene Extinction made nomadic lifestyles inviable. We live like we do today because industrial agriculture simulates the bounties that haven't existed naturally for nearly a century. When that industrial sector goes, the buffalo and the aurochs and the mastodons aren't coming back.
I think we are well past the point at which you can just hop in your pickup truck, throw a twelve gauge in the truck, and nomad your way out of climate change.
Like, there's literally nowhere to run that can sustain the kind of lifestyle Americans can expect.
We're far more likely to go out in an ugly series of civil wars over the dwindling stockpile of resources.
Lots of humans will try to do lots of things, I'm sure. But it's clear I missed your sarcastism. Apologies.
You know, if you’re not planning on going totally anprim.
Honey, we never had a choice :an-eco-heart:
