Heh, it says a lot I think.  I wonder how many here would consider paying for carbon credits when they travel.

I don't, and would not.  I'd rather donate to some useful charity I have some confidence in.

I was going through pics on my phone yesterday, putting together some pics of a good friend of mine that died of covid.  I'm giving the pics to his son.

I thought the pic humorous

Tired of Hurricanes?

Come on up to Tornado alley.

They may be more frequent and deadly, but they have a much narrower path of destruction.
and they dont last long

wham bam your house is gone.

How do you feel about earthquakes and tsunamis? 

Looks like the San Andreas goes offshore a bit south of Eureka, so if you end up in that area... May not want to buy at sea level lol...

Homebuyers not worried about climate change: Redfin CEO (cnbc.com)

Or maybe they view these impacts as being decades off?  We're told we already had a 0.9°C rise in global Ts, with another 1.1°C projected by, well, after 2050 sometime.  And a one meter rise in sea level by 2100.  If nothing is done.

Realistically, if the high temperatures here in summer go from an average of 89°F to 91°F, it won't make all that much difference in livability.  The same is true for MSL rise.  So storms may be more frequent, OK, so they might be.

Few home buyers are going to factor this into a decision at this point.  Maybe they regret it in 50 years?

One of the most sensitive areas to CC is viniculture.  Most vineyards can't migrate north for geographic or soil type reasons.  Chablis for example is on a spot of a certain kind of chalk not present to its north.  At best, they might change varietals to a warmer weather tolerant type, chardonnay depends on cool nights.  Or they just produce what they have with a gradual change in flavor.  But that is one canary in this coal mine.

I've seen talks about this, but as yet nothing of consequence has happened.

We used to truck-ski in parking lots, just on the soles of our oldest boots.  They work surprisingly well.

I paid for my own boots by high school.  But I had one old ratty pair that were good for truck-skiing.
