The north slope of Alaska, is the safest place in the US if you're worried about climate change. For near term stability and economic resilience the Pacific Northwest won't be too bad until it's wrecked by a bunch of people fleeing the bay area ( some say this has already happened ). Optimists can hope for a global government that would undertake climate mitigation in the name of long term species survival. Pessimists will suggest that we start learning to colonize Antartica ( which already has a permanent population of around 5000 humans ). The two scenarios that bookend the spectrum of possibility for climate change are: 1. The interglacial world - risings seas, resource wars and ecological upheaval 2. The hot Venus scenario - literally turning the earth into something that resembles Venus in atmosphere and environment. Our civilization may be more resilient than our engineers would credit it to be. But it is not infinitely so. This is a game humanity can lose. Our species may be part of the great die-off that is currently winnowing most multicellular life on this planet. Not only is global warming real, it could kill you and yours sooner rather than later.
