Do you have a post climate-change plan?


Assuming that extreme climate change is inevitable and irreparable, has anyone created a plan for themselves (or their children) to embrace the potential changes and thrive in an extreme-climate world?

I'm thinking of things like relocation, investments, reskilling, and way-of-life changes.

What does this look like for you?

Living further north seems to be a good idea, however there is the real danger of the weakening gulf stream. There's theories on what will happen, such as northern europe becoming colder:

However, anything could happen.

My advice is remote work combined with some land, not necessarily out in the wilderness. Just land enough to be able to build a greenhouse. I consider that the absolute minimum. Don't live in a city. If nothing else, because of the carcinogenic effects of the pollution cities bring.
