m0dese7en | But long winter's in the north | 22:48:36 |
Alex | True, it would force us to develop the area quickly | 22:49:44 |
Alex | But there are already buildings and farms at least | 22:49:55 |
m0dese7en | Most production here is hay for livestock currently | 22:50:35 |
Alex | Haha that's just beause they're all unoptimized | 22:51:15 |
Alex | If there's no government or corporations we can basically just pick a plot of land and start growing. I guess the other people there can continue doing what they want, but if we get organized first they will be forced to come to us | 22:52:08 |
Alex | I think most people will die because they are disunified and haven't planned | 22:53:48 |
m0dese7en | Don't forget, if the country got that bad the native americans may decide this is all their territory again. They might be nice too, who knows how that will shake out. Politics in the tribes are quite different. | 23:01:11 |
Cluedrew | Not that they don't have a good claim, but are there enough of them left for that? | 23:02:15 |
| m0dese7en left the room. | 23:12:29 |
| m0dese7en joined the room. | 23:12:52 |
m0dese7en | Probably so | 23:13:13 |
m0dese7en | If you travel out west you'll find that there is a lot of open space. You can drive for hours and see very little. | 23:25:20 |
Alex | Awesome | 23:32:24 |
Alex | Sounds perfect! | 23:32:27 |
Alex | I feel better about global warming now that I personally have a plan | 23:32:40 |
Alex | We still have plenty of time to refine it too | 23:33:05 |
m0dese7en | There are many areas of wyoming that are not populated for very good reason. The weather is horrible is some areas. Wind never stops blowing. Even a rattlesnake needs a sack lunch to survive some areas. | 23:34:04 |
Alex | I was considering Texas, but there are a lot of people | 23:34:28 |
Alex | We have to make a judgement call: what's worse? The harsh winter, or the millions of people fighting each other for food | 23:35:28 |
Alex | Maybe we can stockpile enough cans that we can just bundle up and eat beans all through the winter if our crop situation fails | 23:36:03 |
Alex | Just don't sow the seeds too close like Mao did | 23:37:05 |
| mkQasim#1337 changed their display name from mkQasim#4403 to mkQasim#0036. | 23:37:08 |
| mkQasim#1337 changed their display name from mkQasim#0036 to mkQasim#1337. | 23:37:41 |
Alex | m0dese7en: I talked it over with MK. She says,
- It's gonna be warmer. A few degrees difference can be major.
- At least it's not close to a major body of water. A place like Texas will have hurricanes due to the gulf. Wyoming is in the central US.
| 23:40:37 |
Alex | I'll try to get you a vegan philly cheesesteak before the apocalypse but it might be a bit old by the time we arrive | 23:41:29 |
m0dese7en | Well come on up then. I am working on getting a Free Software group going, you can help me out. | 23:45:50 |
Alex | Haha awesome. See you in 20 years! | 23:46:10 |

“The safest places will be significant communities in the north that are not isolated, that have abundant water, that have the possibility of agricultural self-sufficiency, that have little immediate risk of forest fires, that are well elevated, and that are built on solid rock,” he writes. “Our northern lands are our Noah’s ark—a vital refuge against the moment of mankind’s greatest need.”

Americans looking for the best place to live domestically as the world warms should also look north. Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, both blessed with plenty of water and plenty of terrain well above sea level, are generally acknowledged to be the best parts of the country to be in under a new climate regime. In fact, University of Washington atmospheric science professor Cliff Mass believes the Pacific Northwest will be “a potential climate refuge” in coming decades.
