Where would you move to escape climate change?

Don't worry, you'll be on your deathbed due to cardiovascular disease, alzheimer, cancer or stroke before climate change even produces any minimal effects on your life.

You, me and 50 generations down the road.

Sorry to be this crude but the psychosis is getting crazy, well into the lunacy territory.

I get the religious-like impetous of being part of something bigger than themselves, but equally stimulating challanges in global health abound and they have the added benefit of being material to the lifespan and quality of life of basically everybody.

Finally to people who want to change global climate, talking about 1.5C , 2C like they are deciding how they want their beard to be trimmed. Well I must ask them : Have you tried changing your cholesterol first?

Besides being the thing that would get you in the end, it also proves to be one of the many steps on the way to super ambitious goals.

As the saying goes, you gotta walk before you can run.

If you can't change your cholesterol , you'll hardly be able to change the global climate

Probably unpopular but I'd say look at what you think the political implications will be, and move somewhere that's liable to be less affected. For example moving away from somewhere you think is going to have much of its economy shut down by government, or to a jurisdiction that is less likely to impose restrictions or scarcity on you.

More people are potentially going to be affected in the short term by government responses - whether you agree with them or not, they probably affect your quality of life more.

Most humans are already in places safe from climate change. Even in low lying Bangladesh, studies predict that climate change will only cause between 900k and 2.1m humans having to move over the next hundred years. More Bangladeshis than that move on an annual basis for other reasons anyway.

Nowhere in particular as its impact is going to be slow and progressive everywhere so not much noticeable. I find quite dumb to make a life choice for just that reason, to be honest.

In Germany for example there is no noticeable difference, although some people like to think that yearly differences in snow are due climate change.

In Spain I could observe some storms are now a bit stronger and sudden as they used to be as if the weather would turn slightly more tropical.

But these events, even if are an actual consequence of climate change and not just causality, are like not easy to spot as the climate stays mostly the same and there is no apparent change in any drastic way. Perhaps after hundred years if we compare it with today that would be more dramatic, but that’s all. And still there were short periods when the maximal recorder temperatures were even higher during the Middle Ages, so it might be feasible to imagine a future where everything is reversed like the Ozon depletion drama from the 90s. Heck even a single super volcano could change everything in a single month.

So I don’t think the question is more important than where would you like to live for its climate.

I think this is a “choose your poison” scenario. Are you trying to evade fire, flooding, aridity, hurricane impact etc? There is no silver bullet IMO, you have to trade off the negatives. Somewhere with a natural aquifer, not too much surrounding forestry (maybe high deserts)

I'd move closer to the Equator probably in Indonesia. Climate would be less chaotic regardless of the temperature increase and the country's climate is classified as roughly the same [1].

Already have. Ditched the low coastal flats for that hillside living with permanent water access. Am in aus. We get bushfires now in wet rainforest that's previously never been known to burn. Floods every other year. Droughts still the biggest problem.

I'm sorry, wasn't client change called GLOBAL WARMING before, so in theory, there is NO WHERE TO MOVE?

Try hitchhiking through to the galaxy.
