That is where I want my electricity to come from. Not the exploding ones, just a run of the mill 10K hole drilled into the earth at an existing powerplant to heat water, to turn the turbines to make juice.

It's the ultimate dispatchable resource; turn it on and off at the flick of a switch. This makes geothermal the perfect complement for wind and solar.

"When the billionaire class and its corporations pose such a grave danger through the web of laws they’ve created, when they use those laws as a normative framework to kill us, it’s time to disobey. And it’s not necessary to turn yourself in."

This is the most important point.

You talkin to me? I saw a story a few years back that said Jackson County Florida was the best place in the country to escape the worst of climate change. (I'm near there) Lots of ag and timber land, plenty of water and not many folks. And until Michael I would have said I was far enough inland to not worry about hurricanes.

We have been talking about summering in the mountains. But after all the bad things I've said about folks who sale family land, I had better not do it myself.

Maybe and maybe not; if you're in Miami it's probably time to stop investing in new beachfront condos and make an exit plan.

If you're at altitude (over 15' above sea level lol) and inland then you may escape the worst of it, although no place is safe from Mother Nature when she gets in a mood.

Jackson County is the best place to escape climate change? I dunno about that... but it's far from the worst. How long is the drive to the beach?

Don't ask me to dig up the links now, but last time I dug into projections the areas with the lowest AGW impact are the eastern flank of Appalachia and the Midwest great lakes region. But even here the changes are easily noticeable, drought conditions are becoming more frequent and sever. Extremely winter storms were once a decade when I was a kid and now it's 1 in 3 years. Growing up lows in the teens or single digits happened about once every 5 years now it feels like we have a cold week every year. I remember warm bally winter days in the low 70s growing up in Feb 23 we went from 12f to 82f in 3 days

It's also flaws in how people interpret the data; a slight increase in "average" temperature totally ignores the effects of seeing far more and frequent extremes of temperature in the same time period.

This variability is going to get worse as the transition from one climate equilibrium to another gathers momentum.

I can't find it right now, but Paul Beckwith has discussed this in depth in various episodes on his YouTube channel.
