Don't change your life over something this trivial.

To get a better understanding of the global warming fears, read about the fears that the Y2K bug was to bring. It was predicted that planes would fall from the sky, cars wouldn't work, toasters would fail, the stock market would crash, banks would lose all their money, etc, etc, etc.....

GW is a slow but inexorable process. The worst won't happen in your lifetime, and most of the developed world will continue to be "safe".

That being said, I realized a few years ago that Canada would actually benefit from GW, at least for the next 50 years or so, and I put almost all my retirement funds into the Canadian stock market. I've been pretty happy about that so far.

US (Alaska), Chile, Argentina, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia and China. They will be like the tropics are now, a century from now.
Possibly, if we TOTALLY END use of Coal and Oil now, and IF THE RAINFORESTS survive and GROW IN SIZE to gradually remove the Global Warming gases from the air and bury the carbon in the soil. The oceans are no help, they have all the CO2 they can hold..
Which means we will have to get ALL our energy from sunlight and wind, entirely. If we do, a century later, the temperatures might begin to drop.

By the way, a 455-home subdivision in Brentwood, California, will be the first and largest in California in which ALL homes will be solar-powered. They will actually produce a surplus of green, totally clean, renewable energy.

putting aside the fact that i actual examine climate exchange and assuming I knew no longer something approximately it then i could have faith myself - the information is there for everyone to work out in the event that they simply seem. No quantity of arguing or disputing the information can cover the disappearing glaciers, melting ice caps, unseasonal migrations, greater droughts, greater wild fires, desertification and so on and so on. those are all issues that require no longer something extra advantageous than a pair of eyes to be referred to. What I in many cases propose people who question worldwide warming is to music the 'information' they have genuine back to it is source as a manner to ensure it is validity - no longer an internet site, no longer a newspaper report however the business enterprise that produced the information interior the 1st place. That way it is not distorted, no longer taken out of contexxt, no longer exaggerated.

I am very happy you are planning your future. If more people were like you there would be no global warming.

Idealy one would consider countries with high elevations to be a good location. But as waters rise and people are displaced I believe those people will flock to those higher elevations making no where a great choice and making the world even more densley populated

There is no safe place, because the economic impacts will be worldwide.

Moving people away from the coasts, replacing stuff lost due to flooding, fixing damaged agriculture.

All this will cost enough money to send the world into an economic depression that will make the 30s look like good times.

Not to mention the chaos when poor people in poor countries flee, going across national borders, and likely causing wars.

There is no place to hide. You need to stand and fight this. Here's the plan. It was developed by hundreds of scientists and economists working together. It is practical and affordable.

Europe and asia will be good choices, as they are the most prepared for global warming. France would be an outstanding choice with 70% nuclear energy already. If you stay in the US you would want to pick a major city like NYC, where mass transit is already in place and nuclear energy is used. If oceans rise your best bet would be inland.

somewhere either out west or in the midwest. I'd say out west because if the ocean levels rise dramatically, you are at a higher elevation so you would be safe from flooding. the midwest is also a good location because you are centrally located in the country, therefore it would be easiest if you had to be evacuated or something.

I'd say the Yukon in Canada would be your best bet because our temp, in the winter time is about -35*c, so we have a LONG way to go before it gets +40 in the winter time.
