What we think we know about natural consequences, within 30 years:
- The seas will rise some
- Weather will become more extreme, while staying the same in type
- dry places will be dryer
- wet places will be wetter
- hot places will be hotter
- Precipitation patterns may change regionally
- Supply chains will falter, some will fail, regional food production will become more essential, especially hydroponics and indoor farming
- Food supplies will change from global to more regional, agriculture will have to go fully organic, regenerative. Disowning industrial agriculture corporations, giving the land back to farmers, will be essential in the transition.
- Forests in lower, hotter regions will burn off, or dry out and die off. Reforestation via rewilding animal populations, may be a solution
- Some rivers will dry out, fish populations will go extinct regionally
- Mountains will be free of snow for longer periods. The Alps will require an adjustable water management system, including new rainwater retaining systems where glaciers have vanished.
- Floods in places where rivers were constrained by human intervention, and large spaces have been sealed with construction, will increase in severity and frequency.
- Groundwater aquifers may dry up regionally, and/or become heavily contaminated (Colorado River, Nile)
In Europe
Central and Northern Europe, Northern Spain, North Western France, the entire Alps, except some Baltic coastal regions like Holland and Belgium, should be safe.
In General, being in hilly regions is preferable, make sure there’s plenty of precipitation, preferably spread out over the year. These patterns will change, keep informed.
I expect that, where I live, wooded mountains in the middle of Tirolia, Austrian Alps is a good place to make a stand as any. I live right by the river, and even in the flooding last year, I had a dry basement. I have to say though, another 10 cm and that would have changed. So, I am looking to move a bit higher up on the sunny hillside, just a couple hundred meters, since I grow my own food, I don’t want to be too high up. So far, in my region, not much has happened to the weather patterns beside the snow becoming less and less. I guess, finding enough snow for snowboarding will not be my biggest problem.
We will also have direct humane consequences. The rich of the world never cared for the poor, that will not change. Yes, there will be regional protests, but the rich, spoiled western consumers have proven that, beyond protesting, they do not want their consumerism and comfort to be infringed upon.
We know, the planet can not sustainably support the current human population, unless, we, the rich 10%, reduce our CO2 footprint and consumption of resources by a factor of 10. Let’s face it, that’s not happening, so what’s the alternative? For decades we have read the reports from Asia and Africa, about exploited peoples and exploited resources, nothing has changed. We are just fine with our transnational corporations exploiting these countries and their peoples, just don’t bring them here. If we wanted these things to change, we would change our consumer behaviour, our strongest, most powerful democratic voice.
From this, our behaviour, I conclude
- Rich, well armed countries will keep immigrants out by force. Hundreds of Millions of migrants, climate refugees will move north through Africa, or Turkey and the Balkan, and starve or die of disease on the way.
- Rich countries will let the populations in poor countries which are more affected by climate change, suffer the brunt. Poor countries will be naturally depopulated via starvation, squalor, gang violence and disease, the world population will be decimated. This is necessary, as these poor people of these regions have a CO2 footprint of 100 kilograms a year, which can not be allowed to increase. After all, we’ll keep ours at 11 tones a year, 16 tons in the US.
- Rich, well armed countries will keep exploiting poorer countries, mostly the rich north keeps taking the candy from the poor south.
- The rich in the north will finally understand that they are not ethical, or morally upstanding, and come to terms with it. They will let the poor perish in the hundreds of millions, (sorry, survival of the well armed, survival of those who lack empathy, or do not let their empathy stop them from subduing the poor and weak) to then have the planet in a condition that has a better chance of supporting a reduced human population sustainably. (Look around, this has begun years ago)
You think I exaggerate? Think again.
The broken $100-billion promise of climate finance — and how to fix it
At Glasgow’s COP26 summit, countries will argue for more money to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change.
Did you really think they would pay? If the rich would pay this bill, then the poor people would raise their CO2 footprint, that can’t be allowed to happen. If this bill is paid, the path is laid to make the rich countries pay for their historic CO2 consumption. Sorry, that’s not happening.
COP26: Rich countries ‘pushing back’ on paying for climate loss
Poorer countries say they are not able to get compensation for the damage caused by climate change.
Remember, who the UN have become:
Corporate Capture of Global Governance: WEF-UN Partnership Threatens UN System
Deeply concerned about corporate capture of the UN system, 289 organizations from all regions of the world, as well as 27 individuals, have endorsed a collective letter to the United Nations Secretary General, H.E. Mr. António Guterres, to terminate the strategic partnership agreement recently signed by the United Nations and the World Economic Forum.
The UN has partnered with the WEF, the World Economic Forum, which is funded and governed by corporate elites. ABB, Cisco, Chevron, Glencore, OPEC, Shell, BP, Amazon, Microsoft, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Virgin etc.
Hundreds of Civil Society Organizations Worldwide Denounce World Economic Forum´s Takeover of the UN | Transnational Institute
The call, made in an open letter, denounces attempts to ‘delegitimiz[ing] the United Nations and weaken(ing) the role of states in global decision-making.
Now, in the UN, and via the most powerful economic Lobby Group, the WEF, these unelected global leaders make legislation. They write the laws that should regulate their industries in the interest of humans and the environment. It’s absurd.
The privatisation of global governance: forget New York, keep Davos? ǀ View
Notwithstanding the differences, one would be excused to compare the WEF’s Annual Meeting in late January in Davos with the annual high-level meeting of the UN General Assembly in late September in New York. Both are preceded by overview reports presented by their respective CEOs.
These wealthier, more established nations to support the world’s most vulnerable countries moving forward, would be a nice thing to have, but you don’t really believe that will happen, do you?
UN under fire over choice of ‘corporate puppet’ as envoy at key food summit
Organisation accused of kowtowing to big business by appointing former Rwandan agriculture minister with links to agro-industry
I am only showing these, to make you understand what we are, we, the rich and powerful in the Western social democracies. We need to recognise why things are happening the way they are.
Europe will have her Navies prevent African Climate Refugees from leaving North Africa, just like we have made the refugees coming through Belarus, Turkey, Greece and Italy into political ping pong balls. In Greece and Turkey we have refugee camps where the conditions are inhumane, to put it mildly, who cares, Libya has become a Mecca for human trafficking, need I say more.
Protesting is not the same as actually caring. Asking to give a refugee family asylum in your home, that would be caring, but I have yet to hear of such cases happening.
As for the the US
In General, the US are a vast country, the hilly or mountainous regions in the West and in the East, where there is historically enough precipitations, should be good places to make a stand, ecologically speaking.
When it comes to humans, the US are a different place. Even right now, right and left are beyond speaking terms, the right have left our realm of reality altogether. If Trump wins in 2024, all I can say, emigrate, go to Mexico or Canada, unless you are really rich, then you can afford protection.
Due to virtually unrestricted gun ownership and literally pandemic psychosis and psychopathy, the amount of arms in the population will be society’s Achilles heel in the US.
- Well armed groups of marauders will ravage the unarmed, the unprotected. Remember, there is not even enough solidarity in the US for a universal healthcare system.
- Every living being that draws power or water from the colorado river, will have to move. That’s 40 Million Americans moving from California north east.
40 Million People Rely on the Colorado River. It’s Drying Up Fast.
One of the country’s most important sources of fresh water is in peril, the latest victim of the accelerating climate crisis.
- What the US have done to other nations (North American Native Peoples, China, Philippines, Marshall Islands, East Timor, Iraq, Afghanistan, Central and south America) will give you an Idea of what will happen with the poor inside the US, what the rich 1% or 10% will do with the rest. Consider how the poor, vets included, the sick and the weak are treated in the US, historically, and currently.
Here, a little History, not for the faint hearted with empathy.
In summary.
- Move north, away from flat coastlines, away from severe storm paths, away from big urban areas
- Move to where the locals are friendly, in a tight, advanced solidary society, preferably non religious and well educated
- Learn how to be of help inside the society you chose, making it better and safer by being part of it
- Learn how to grow food, indoor and outdoor, sustainably, If you have surplus, help out those who have not enough, fortunes change
- Learn how to build a sustainable home, live sustainably
- Learn how to consume less, while living healthier and more honest with yourself
Live Long And Prosper.
