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.

      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.
