Sea rise here is rapidly accelerating along here S. Jersey. The climate is swinging wildly as the upper alt. Jet streams slow and wander about. More Hurricanes and bigger ones. People don't believe climate change is exponential in nature, doesn't matter that will be obvious very soon.

Strikes me that the more tolerable climates will become the desirable areas and over time people will move there. When temperatures consistently start to cross the threshold where people can actually live, southern areas will become desolate. Sea rise is another one, there's no holding that back. People will throw a lot of money at it to preserve their communities and cities, but also over time, it will become a losing proposition. It's pretty nuts because with someone like Trump we couldn't possibly have a more backwards approach. Trump's approach is to accelerate climate change. The right has a self fulfilling wish for catastrophe. It's very strange.
