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. - 19/10/2019 06:06:47 AM 647 Views
This is nothing new. Qatar has had indoor ski slopes for years. *NM* - 19/10/2019 11:32:07 PM 146 Views
cold air remains low to the ground or something? *NM* - 19/10/2019 11:32:28 PM 141 Views
Right, but... surely an enclosed stadium would be more efficient. *NM* - 21/10/2019 10:49:37 PM 140 Views
Well, the city was built... - 20/10/2019 09:48:37 PM 331 Views
Excuse Me? *NM* - 20/10/2019 11:30:28 PM 212 Views
Yeah, I get that people don't want to move. But... - 21/10/2019 10:52:03 PM 258 Views
I think the extravagance is the point *NM* - 21/10/2019 11:51:53 PM 145 Views
Speculating here, but... - 23/10/2019 09:45:23 PM 297 Views
Why is it always the Gulf Coast that gets complained about when we rebuild? - 23/10/2019 07:50:35 AM 299 Views
huh? - 23/10/2019 12:37:50 PM 277 Views
Re: huh? - 23/10/2019 08:52:29 PM 288 Views
That may simply be because earthquakes are less frequent than hurricanes, especially now *NM* - 23/10/2019 09:46:47 PM 139 Views
They're less frequent, but we know where they're going to happen. - 24/10/2019 04:42:15 AM 286 Views
No one is sneering... - 24/10/2019 02:05:19 PM 306 Views
You did use the word, idiocy. - 24/10/2019 02:09:45 PM 302 Views
Fair. But I don't mean it at an individual level. I think... - 24/10/2019 08:46:06 PM 344 Views

Please read my 2nd paragraph again - 28/10/2019 04:06:32 PM 253 Views
Aerocontrols do you think Augusta Kansas should not exist? - 24/10/2019 05:35:22 AM 265 Views
I think there's an argument to be made - 24/10/2019 05:50:26 PM 262 Views
But the Halloween flood of 98 was not like that - 24/10/2019 06:41:28 PM 234 Views
Augusta flooded again last spring. - 24/10/2019 08:24:39 PM 284 Views
A little over sensitive? - 23/10/2019 08:21:39 PM 265 Views
Very. I had enough of people blaming us for Katrina to last a lifetime. *NM* - 23/10/2019 08:53:44 PM 148 Views
to my point, however.... - 23/10/2019 10:27:04 PM 294 Views
I don't really know how that's relevant though. I'm not talking about insurance. - 24/10/2019 04:40:58 AM 286 Views
I guess my point - 24/10/2019 02:03:08 PM 360 Views
Mookie why aren't you using the same logic about the California fires? - 24/10/2019 07:53:19 PM 278 Views
because to the best of my knowledge, homeowners insurance in California is not unobtainable - 25/10/2019 03:07:57 AM 289 Views
California Insurance for Fire is becoming a Market Failure - 25/10/2019 06:35:28 AM 276 Views
As someone who *lives* in California - 25/10/2019 04:38:49 PM 279 Views
Sigh you are missing my point I was saying about Scapegoating - 25/10/2019 09:45:48 PM 324 Views
I didn't miss what you said.... - 25/10/2019 11:35:23 PM 305 Views
Let me see if we are on the same page here. - 26/10/2019 01:08:45 AM 281 Views
*nods* I knew what you were saying. - 29/10/2019 09:53:30 PM 274 Views
Are you also calling me oversensitive Damookster for I had the same complaint? - 24/10/2019 05:30:59 AM 270 Views
I was teasing Gabe. - 24/10/2019 02:06:17 PM 263 Views
Sorry for misunderstanding - 24/10/2019 06:43:36 PM 414 Views
You do realize that all of Qatar is desert? - 21/10/2019 07:53:24 PM 290 Views
Most of Antarctica is desert - 21/10/2019 11:51:04 PM 274 Views
