This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The terrifying part is that adjacent to the Great Lakes was projected to be ground zero for incoming climate change refugees. Now it’s looking like they’ll be dried up

Wouldn't west coastal be better? Water to help regulate temperature, and you don't get the hurricane effects of the eastern coast

Plus, you need desalination to be able to do something with ocean water

Oceans in Southern California not warm enough to sustain hurricanes yet, on path to. Warming ocean will also raise humidity and have less of a cooling effect.

As a pretty much lifelong Wyomingite, it's not so bad. The wind is a bigger problem frankly.
