This was an interesting read on areas to be or not be in coming years, assuming various environmental and (to less extent) social issues going forward. Not anything earth shattering new, mainly points to the NW for sustainability, but has some new and interesting maps.

Like to hear others opinions on this.

Looks like I'm already in a very good place per this report.

Fantasy of Fake News. There's not a shred of evidence for any of this. Climates continually change for better or worse.

I figure the northern tip of Michigan is one of the better places to survive, since you avoid most of the major hazards -- hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, brush fires, and volcanoes. There's no major cities, so you're probably decently okay with a nuclear strike. It doesn't look too bad from a sustainability perspective either, and there's plenty of freshwater nearby. Am I right?

I have to agree... this article is garbage. The maps are OLD, references are missing, no legends... It's just a bunch of stuff thrown together on a website.

Well, sorry I bothered you with it. I didn't realize it was 6 years old at the time. Sorry nothing here helped you. I'll refund all your money...

Here's a pdf link from the article for others who want to read more "garbage."

We decided to migrate to rural Maine for our retirement homestead.

In 15 years here we have fit right in with the local sub-culture of self-sustainable homesteaders. Producing our own food, fuel and fiber.

I do not see any of this is going to change during my lifespan.

That link also predicted the spread of mosquito-borne disease. There is at least one pharmaceutical company working on a vaccination for Dengue fever. I do not know about the West Nile virus; but there is a very good chance that in the next 80 years there will be an immunization or we will have found a way to wipe out those mosquitoes that carry the disease.

So, all I am saying is; don't move yet!

I live in Northeast PA and many complain about cloudy or rainy days. I look at what is happening in Australia, Southern California, NM/AZ/TX/FL and I think to myself that I am happy with the cloudy, rainy, days!
