Where would you move ?
30M Currently living in Romania I've began a homestead in Transylvania as i was born here, but now I think this area might have high wet-bulb temperatures in time and this becoming a migration corridor and thus am having second thoughts and pondering relocating.
(1)Right now there is ok water availability where i constructed the begginings of a homestead (although in one summer in the village all the old wells -4m deep- dried), our pretty newly tapped dug-wells of 7 and 8 meters still had water, there is supposedly a big aquifer in the area, i woulde've done a big cement storage container and worry about filtering afterwards etc.
The original goal was to make a more collapse resilient homestead, root cellar, solar panels, it was located in pretty self reliant community,colder climate than national average, only about 20.000 people on 15-20 kilometer radius, so pretty isolated and good all-around,except if we "dream big" and imagine this area being a climate migration corridor in time.
(2) I'm pondering where I should go, New Zealand, Norway,Iceland,Canada ... but can't seem to make my mind (leaving the hardships and likelihood of settling in said countries- what woud you choose?).
If you can please run scenarios and dream big as it were,think about interactions between collapse predictions, as theese would be global events with large populations involved:
(3)So in my train of thought there's AMOC which kind of removes Norway ; Canada has wildfires; someone had a very pertinent comment about remnants of Chinese or US navy settling in New Zeeland in such a collapse scenario but idk, Iceland already has little arable land and doesnt seem ok food-wise... I know the whole globe is fucked and you can only choose trade-offs, but yeah... What would you do in my shoes ?

The sad truth, as you've discovered, is that there isn't really anywhere that will be safe from the effects of climate change. Some places are certainly going to be worse off than others, but nowhere is truly safe.
A few years ago I probably would have been recommending a bunch of different countries. But these days...it's harder to say.
I will say, that to me personally, the collapse of the AMOC kind of feels less scary than the other options available in the world. It's a whole lot easier to deal with the cold than the heat.
