seems like that particular freakout has already happened multiple times.
on average poor countries will be hit the worst by climate change, i don’t think the first countries will necessarily be poor or near the equator. this north carolina house is experiencing something texas already saw.
Lakes Powell and Mead may hit full blown crisis this year. That’s going to have a real effect on a lot of people.
That’s fair, but the waterfront home owners in Texas and North Carolina have a whole safety net to fall back on. When similar climate events hit poor places the consequences for those families are more severe. Their lives are much more fragile. And areas near the equator are more likely to become uninhabitable.
As far as freakout goes, though, even a rich person is gonna say “holy fucking shit my family’s vacation house used to have a quarter mile of beach in front of it when I was a kid, and now it just fell into the fucking ocean. This is messed up.”
Even if it’s followed up by a comical, infuritating “Damn the government should do something about this! Wish someone had warned me things like this could happen”, at least it’s a reality check and one more person in favor (hopefully) of going balls to the wall to fix it.
Don’t worry the rains will come jack.
Unsurprising.

That’s what I wondered when I saw the video above: Did they at least gut it before the ocean could claim it. I mean it must have been predictable that this would happen within weeks or was there some kind of storm surge going on?
They’re already finding a bunch of mob hit bodies in Mead because its so low.
Someone call Aquaman!
Yeah, how is it just ok cool whatever that there are apparently a bunch of bodies in the drinking water reservoir? It’s not like these are frozen climbers on Everest and apparently it’s just a known thing that they’re there…
It’s going to break through when homeowners insurance becomes unaffordable for the middle class, and it’s going to fuck up the housing market like crazy. I mean, you can’t get a loan without homeowners insurance, so…
My guess would be no.
My dream home is fireproof with solar panels on top, a tornado shelter in the basement, and hurricane-proof windows.
On the day you complete construction a giant sinkhole will open up and swallow it whole.
The source of all drinking water is full of dead things. All of that is treated before consumption.
holy shit 122 in Jacobabad
Well it’s not like a lot of people live in that part of the world. I’m sure they can simply relocate to a more moderate clime.
