The “don’t tell people to just move away from ‘natural’ disasters“ discourse has (I hope) moved on a bit, but since moving out of fire and earthquake country and back to nearer the hurricane and blizzard country where I grew up, I think about where I want to live in climate collapse differently

I tell everyone to buy their property on the Great Lakes now. In 30 years when Cleveland has the climate of Nashville and TX is 150 degrees from spring to fall, you’ll wish you lived next to 1/5th of the world’s freshwater reserve.
