That means we need to abandon places where millions of people live. Just in the US. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 28/10/2019 02:24:36 AM

Let's ignore reality and assume global warming doesn't exist and everything will stay about the same as it is now.

We're going to need to abandon:
1) Most of California (earthquakes, fires)
2) All of the Gulf Coast (hurricanes)
3) A substantial part of the Atlantic Coast (hurricanes. see Sandy)
4) All of Puerto Rico (hurricanes)
5) All of the cities along the Lower Mississippi (flooding. there's going to be a levee breach sooner or later).


So we're down, at a minimum, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Houston, New Orleans, Puerto Rico, Mobile, Pensacola, Miami, Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington, and, apparently, Augusta, Kansas.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

Have y'all seen this? Qatar is air conditioning their open-air markets and stadiums. TyrReborn - 19/10/2019 06:06:47 AM 765 Views
This is nothing new. Qatar has had indoor ski slopes for years. *NM* damookster - 19/10/2019 11:32:07 PM 192 Views
cold air remains low to the ground or something? *NM* Roland00 - 19/10/2019 11:32:28 PM 193 Views
Right, but... surely an enclosed stadium would be more efficient. *NM* TyrReborn - 21/10/2019 10:49:37 PM 183 Views
Well, the city was built... fionwe1987 - 20/10/2019 09:48:37 PM 438 Views
Excuse Me? *NM* Roland00 - 20/10/2019 11:30:28 PM 257 Views
Yeah, I get that people don't want to move. But... TyrReborn - 21/10/2019 10:52:03 PM 363 Views
I think the extravagance is the point *NM* aerocontrols - 21/10/2019 11:51:53 PM 190 Views
Speculating here, but... fionwe1987 - 23/10/2019 09:45:23 PM 401 Views
Why is it always the Gulf Coast that gets complained about when we rebuild? Ghavrel - 23/10/2019 07:50:35 AM 407 Views
huh? aerocontrols - 23/10/2019 12:37:50 PM 386 Views
Re: huh? Ghavrel - 23/10/2019 08:52:29 PM 391 Views
That may simply be because earthquakes are less frequent than hurricanes, especially now *NM* fionwe1987 - 23/10/2019 09:46:47 PM 186 Views
They're less frequent, but we know where they're going to happen. Ghavrel - 24/10/2019 04:42:15 AM 406 Views
No one is sneering... fionwe1987 - 24/10/2019 02:05:19 PM 415 Views
You did use the word, idiocy. damookster - 24/10/2019 02:09:45 PM 429 Views
Fair. But I don't mean it at an individual level. I think... fionwe1987 - 24/10/2019 08:46:06 PM 455 Views

Please read my 2nd paragraph again aerocontrols - 28/10/2019 04:06:32 PM 355 Views
Aerocontrols do you think Augusta Kansas should not exist? Roland00 - 24/10/2019 05:35:22 AM 396 Views
I think there's an argument to be made aerocontrols - 24/10/2019 05:50:26 PM 397 Views
But the Halloween flood of 98 was not like that Roland00 - 24/10/2019 06:41:28 PM 337 Views
Augusta flooded again last spring. aerocontrols - 24/10/2019 08:24:39 PM 403 Views
A little over sensitive? damookster - 23/10/2019 08:21:39 PM 376 Views
Very. I had enough of people blaming us for Katrina to last a lifetime. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/10/2019 08:53:44 PM 194 Views
to my point, however.... damookster - 23/10/2019 10:27:04 PM 404 Views
I don't really know how that's relevant though. I'm not talking about insurance. Ghavrel - 24/10/2019 04:40:58 AM 394 Views
I guess my point damookster - 24/10/2019 02:03:08 PM 472 Views
Mookie why aren't you using the same logic about the California fires? Roland00 - 24/10/2019 07:53:19 PM 412 Views
because to the best of my knowledge, homeowners insurance in California is not unobtainable damookster - 25/10/2019 03:07:57 AM 421 Views
California Insurance for Fire is becoming a Market Failure Roland00 - 25/10/2019 06:35:28 AM 386 Views
As someone who *lives* in California Jeordam - 25/10/2019 04:38:49 PM 424 Views
Sigh you are missing my point I was saying about Scapegoating Roland00 - 25/10/2019 09:45:48 PM 464 Views
I didn't miss what you said.... Jeordam - 25/10/2019 11:35:23 PM 413 Views
Let me see if we are on the same page here. Roland00 - 26/10/2019 01:08:45 AM 412 Views
*nods* I knew what you were saying. Jeordam - 29/10/2019 09:53:30 PM 383 Views
Are you also calling me oversensitive Damookster for I had the same complaint? Roland00 - 24/10/2019 05:30:59 AM 379 Views
I was teasing Gabe. damookster - 24/10/2019 02:06:17 PM 368 Views
Sorry for misunderstanding Roland00 - 24/10/2019 06:43:36 PM 541 Views
You do realize that all of Qatar is desert? Legolas - 21/10/2019 07:53:24 PM 395 Views
What I was really commenting on is, wouldn't it be more efficient to enclose those areas? TyrReborn - 21/10/2019 10:51:00 PM 420 Views
Probably. For the stadiums, I thought they did do that, not sure about the markets... Legolas - 22/10/2019 05:57:11 PM 354 Views
Most of Antarctica is desert aerocontrols - 21/10/2019 11:51:04 PM 379 Views
