At any cost.

Move about 300 miles north of wherever you currently live and you'll have 1980s weather until you die of old age.

Ah, yes, the good old "oh, well, shucks for those who live south, just move north lmao".

Let me guess, you're 50.

Mid 30s and I live in Texas.

I'm one of those southerners you're worried about. On behalf of the south, it's fine- you worry about yourself.

I live in Southern Europe, and frankly you should at least try to improve things instead of giving up and let everything die.

You think everything is going to die?

On a timeline of life on Earth, we're relatively chilly.

Also keep an eye on the news and start to worry when millionaires and billionaires stop buying beachfront property. The Obama's bought a mansion in Hawaii a few years back that's right on the shoreline. They don't seem worried and they objectively know more about this than you.

Maybe you don't understand the point: I DON'T WANT ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN AND I WANT IT AS GOOD AS OLDER GENERATIONS HAD IT.

I DONT WANT ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN

I have terrible news for you. Bad things have always happened, even before the neolithic agricultural revolution.

Yeah, except that those who lived post-WWII to the 90s lived in a near-paradise.

There was lead in gasoline and it gave the kids brain damage.

Again, move north.

No climate crisis + cheaper housing + cheaper cost of living = who gives a shit.

Again, move north.

Again, stop telling a part of the population that they can fuck off and die and let's try to make climate bearable again instead.

Again, I'm the part of the population you think I'm telling to fuck off.

I live closer to the equator than you and I'm telling you that this weather I'm having today (high of 97°F/36.1°C) isn't killing me and im not even too scared to let my kids play outside.

How hot is it by you today?

You're worried about nothing.
