And it’s gonna suck for most of us in a lot of ways. Like I moved up north partially because of politics back in 2014. Now some are eventually gonna follow and move up here as well. Plus, I can’t afford a house. A lot of people can’t afford one. But when more and more people come, we won’t have enough. Unless we see some real, meaningful changes in the way we handle housing, it’s gonna be a shit show.
I was talking to my mom back in I think 2020 and the subject of the cost of a home came up. I told her how much they are here, and she said me and my boyfriend should move near her and some other family in St Louis. While I would love to be near family, I’m gay. I’m not moving to a red state. And I’m not looking to buy a house I will eventually need to abandon with no one buying it. That’s a lot of money to just lose.
A house is worth peanuts without water, this should be priority number one when purchasing a house. We should avoid cities and move closer to mountains where the rain will provide enough stream.
Plenty of cities have good access to water. It’s why most of them were built where they were in the first place. And for the most part, it’s the way you have the least impact on the environment.
Some scientists theorize we’ve already passed the red line. The rest is just crowd control. Those eggs are gonna be broken but they’re probably gonna be a few billion people. Best to plan for the worst, hope for the best and doing both climate science and technical advances towards colonization.
It’s not like the research and funding needs to go to one or the other. Never understood that argument, like what 10,000s of astrophysicists and engineers are just gonna be like “yeah let’s all stop or research today to save humanity” lmao.
Yup. People gonna have to move.
Remember when people said that climate change would cost us trillions of dollars? This is why.

We’re really gonna need to colonize another planet eventually.
It’d be easier & cheaper to fix this one.
We’re going to have to break a few eggs though, since we waited so long.
By eggs I mean multinational corporations.

“If I had a gun, with two bullets, and I was in a room with Automobile, Aviation and Advertisement, I would shoot Advertisement twice.”
Really? Automobile is plenty deserving, and shooting it means people have better options than flying for a lot of trips.
I hope the broken eggs are billionaires’ nuts.
