The Best Places To Live To Survive Climate Change 

We're pretty screwed. People are still debating if this is a real problem. I lost all faith in humanity when people dying from COVID were denying its existence.

A crucial thing not discussed here: the issue is not just that vulnerable people are less able to move to low risk areas. Those who happen to live in low risk areas will have rich people move to them, gentrifying them and displacing the vulnerable. As much attention should be paid to how to preserve the rights of the poor to the safer areas where they now live

Your maps of Africa and South America at 11:25 had me head scratching. It took a minute to realise what was wrong: the African countries are projected onto South America and vice versa. Its quite trippy, like looking at the continents in a hall of mirrors.

I made the determination that Texas was uninhabitable 20 years ago, when I burned my hand on the ceiling of our U-Haul truck while moving into our appartment in Austin... in August. I spent the decade following making plans to move back to cooler climates and I am happy to report, mission accomplished. I now live in North-East Pennsylvania, safely tucked up on a hill at a higher elevation. Summers are delightful, some snow shoveling is still required in the winter time, but I don't mind. That should get me to retirement, by which time we might have to commission our air conditioning. At that time, we'll move somewhere cooler and less expensive.

I was doing some digging to figure out who dumped arsenic in the great salt lake and have seen that dry lake beds are being considered for future wastewater dumping, and I can't imagine how bad the environmental impact will be if these things are allowed. An east coast company wants to dump coal ash, lead and mercury in it, while the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy wants to dump selenium-laden wastewater into it. I don't understand people who refuse to see consequences for the dollar numbers.

Joe, the drought and floods are often related. Here in Australia we are used to the two extremes being correlated. For us, the reason the floods are so bad is because the soil is hardened by the sun baking. Over months of very low rain the soil itself becomes impervious to water absorption, almost like the soil has been waxed. The hardened water resistant soil then causes water to move down hill rather than become absorbed by what you would think of as the thirst earth. Due to this (and other reasons) Australia barely has any top soil.

Great Lakes cities & real estate are definitely undervalued.

Duluth Minnesota! It used to be famed for it's brutal winters. Now... not so much... It's a cool town. Check it out! On a further note, I grow grapes and make wine in Minnesota. 20 years ago, the season was barely long enough to ripen some grape varieties. Now... there is often 2-3 weeks of viable season left after our grapes are well ripe and harvested. Seeing the change is pretty straight forward in my world...

Live in one of those Nordic countries on the list at 100+ meter elevation so I am not planning any moving, but personally I think that international social unrest will be a much stronger force in changing where we can and will live long before change in climate make it necessary.

While I was in the Army, I was stationed in Djibouti Africa for a year. It is the only place I ever deployed where they told us not to try to acclimate. High temperatures regularly hit 45 degrees Celsius(113 degrees Fahrenheit) in the summer months. Also since it was right off the Gulf of Tadjoura the humidity was between 30 and 50 percent. I remember a day when it hit 50 degrees Celsius, and a bird that had been in a cluster around an air conditioner tried to fly away and fell out of the sky. If more places in the world turn into this, life will get really hard for anyone or anything that can't physically cope with heat.

When I was younger, living in Oslo, Norway, I was looking for places to live that was warmer in winter (Portugal was one of the candidates). Now, I am thinking of moving north to Arctic Scandinavia instead. The hot summers are now more of a climate bother than cold winters.

Very interesting video. As a fellow Texan also from the Dallas Fort Worth area, even though I was born and raised in that area, I never was a fan of the heat. A lot of this video hit close to home. I ended up moving from Texas to Sweden August 2021 to escape the heat among many other reasons. It is amazing to see how even here in Sweden we are seeing changes. They are now growing crops here they did not before- for example grapes. I live in Helsingborg near Copenhagen and more and more people are buying air conditioners now. I had to buy one of those portable ones myself for my bedroom. Thanks for always making cool videos my fellow Texan :)

I've been living in the North for quite a few years, and this summer we had 6 weeks of non-stop rain in South East Alaska, I was tempted to complain, but then I saw the state of the rest of the world and decided that, all facts considered, we had a phenomenal summer and I wouldn't trade it. The far North is still scarcely populated, and I can definitely see it booming in years to come.

I love how every time you tried to put a positive spin on it you immediately had to go back and clarify this wasn't actually good lol. Great video as always

Thank you for finally giving me a reason to be happy I live in Cleveland Ohio

I like how he says move to the great lakes area and then says he wouldn't want to live somewhere you can't go outside for 3 months. Have you been up north?

I have lived in Houston my entire life. Now at 51 yrs after the summer of 2022, my husband and I are absolutely moving not only for the future for our kids, but just to be healthier. Not being able to go outside for 3 months is generous, it’s more like 5 - 6 months. Plus we had to spend $15,000 on a home generator because we cannot count on our state to provide power to live. We are strongly looking at Colorado but after your video will take a look at the cities around The Great Lakes. I enjoy your content so much and it furthers my information about the world around me.

as a South-American, I absolutelu loved the switched political maps of South-America & Africa!

You point to New Zealand as a potential lifeboat destination, there are several problems with this idea. The first is that most of the major habitation centres are close to sea level and likely to be adversely affected by sea level rises. The country already struggles to deal with the impacts of weather events, with roading infrastructure being washed out and leaving dome residents reliant on boats to access homes. Flood events have already increased in frequency and scale, with one region being hit 3 times his year. The agricultural sector is already running at high capacity and with reduced land area and an increased population plus increased pressure caused by climate change it may struggles to feed the residents and due to its remoteness would find it hard to import sufficient product to make up any shortfall. Even today NZ is expensive because it has difficulty getting product and produce to the country, and cannot maximise profit for its exports due to the cost of transportation. There is already pressure placed on fertile growing land by the desperate need for increased housing. Away from climate change the country is geologically unstable, with a major rupture of the alpine fault expected sooner rather than later which has the potential to decimate 2 of the largest cities in the country. Add to this the potential for volcanic activity across the north island, Taupo is a super volcano, Auckland is built on 29 volcanoes, Mt Taranaki is active and Mt Ruapihu and Mt Ngauruhoe are regularly active. The Taupo super volcano has the potential to make the whole of NZ uninhabitable.

I tend to use your channel as white noise, because I enjoy the topic and your voice… As a fellow Texan, departing the summer of 2023, how are those discussions about moving going now? Last summer was bad… This summer was prophetic… It is what people were warning us about for the last 10 years.

There needs to be a lot more content like this. Less "It's too late and we're effed" and more "Here's what you can do to prepare yourself. And here's the nitty gritty about what's going to happen in your specific area." I especially am curious about what people in possible climate havens, like myself, can be doing right now to prepare for future climate refugees. If more creators could do this, I think that would be fantastic. And I would love to see more videos like this in the future. Thank you!

Most of the areas in northern Canada, Greenland, and Iceland that will see an improvement in their climate will have a very limited increase in crop yields. Why? Because they don't have soil! These are landscapes dominated by bare rock or at most a thin layer of moss and lichen, and they will need hundreds of thousands of years of weathering and fluvial deposition to develop a decent amount of soil.

I'm a long time resident of Eastern Pennsylvania and I've long missed my cooler summers and cold winters. Been thinking about moving up to Lake Erie. It still snows in feet there in winter.😊

If you’re moving to the Great Lakes because it’s too hot to go outside 3 months out of the year just remember Great Lakes winters

Reporting back from Ireland re: the international section, there's a massive housing crisis everywhere in the country, and if that's not resolved by massive govt action to build and reclaim housing for the public stock, anyone who comes from worse-off places climate-wise is going to have an awfully hard time finding a bed

Shocking! You learn something new every day, turns out there really are places outside of the US! Who would have thought?

I would love to have a video like this for the entire planet

I live in Michigan's U.P. and I often think about how we would quite literally be the last people on Earth that would ever have to worry about fresh water. I live less than a mile from the north shore of Lake Michigan, 60 miles from Lake Superior. Not to mention the U.P. is full of streams, inland lakes, ponds, swamps, etc. Meanwhile in other parts of the world an entire civilization can fail from a river drying up. It's crazy

I live in Ireland. NGL, when you started listing out those 'lifeboat' countries the thought did pop into my head 'Don't list us'. Because honestly, while we might be one of those lifeboat countries, we're small, have no army to speak of and are already sort of falling apart at the seams rn (cost of living crisis, housing crisis etcetc.) But the way I see it, we're all a bit screwed going forward. At least I might not have to face the possibility of moving. I also won't lie in that when I went looking for my house a decade ago, I also looked at sea levels and how they might rise. And I picked a house that I knew would be have enough elevation to keep me safe.

"I don't want to live in a place I can't even be outside for 3 months of the year" LOL's from Canada.

I remember snowfalls in Toronto were just regular business, we would have 2 to 3 inches of snow on the ground for most of the winter. Now it snows maybe a dozen times a year if that and it rarely sticks. Last year we had a massive snow storm and within a week the snow was gone.

9:30 "It turns out: There are places outside the US!" I chuckled.

i’ve lived in greenland for about 15 years now and the winters are getting colder, stormier and more unstable. overall we’re experiencing more winds and storms because the ice is melting. i can’t see myself living here in 10 years despite loving so much about it

August in jersey was damn near unbearable this year, so many trees and peoples yards just died. I mean things usually get crispy in late summer but this year the amount of trees that I see they’re just brown and dried up was legitimately concerning

I like how some of those climate change deniers are often saying "even the scientists are not agreeing on their climate change models" - I love to show them one of those graphs that show these "disagreeing" models stacked over each other. Yes, they disagree in details but the result is a thick, fat line that says "it's getting warmer".

I'm suddenly reminded of Coober Pedy in Australia where most of the homes are underground because of how incredibly hot it is. But it's also incredibly dry, so I doubt that kind of thing would work in places expected to have increases in humidity alongside heat.

Down here in Tasmania we're already seeing a huge influx of climate movers from flood prone NSW and QLD. The problem is these so-called lifeboats lack the infrastructure to support this sudden population growth.

One big thing not mentioned is, while the temps may change, the soil doesn't magically move and the sun almanac doesn't shift north. It's not going to be a simple thing to just start growing crops elsewhere as climate shifts. Successful industrial scale agriculture is going to become highly difficult. If you do move for climate, definitely try to find places that survived decently well on localized agriculture in their recent (

Upstate NY checking in, and glad to be here. I imagine some of our agriculture will change as the climate warms up, but if you can deal with snow in the winter and heat in the summer, it's a great place to live.

I'm so glad I decided to make my home office in the basement when we moved in. In our weekend home (I use the stables there for my company) we've been looking at rejuvenating the trees, build water capture tanks etc. I am glad to live in a place that will most likely "just" become more volatile, although I suspect that many in the Netherlands , where I am from before moving to the Czech Republic will see quite a bit of big changes due to rising sea water levels. And having to learn suddenly to NOT flush all water out into sea like we have been getting experts at for about 500 years, but instead try and keep it stored somewhere since all parts that are actually above sea level are already suffering dry summers. Thanks for the video, I hope we can manage to make as many places still liveable, but yeah, it won't be easy sailing.

Don't panic guys. According to Joe we'll probably be dead of something else before any of this happens. :)

@Joe Scott Ok, i don't know if it was intentionally, or as an Easter egg, but I actually love the swapped country maps of Africa and South America at 11:25 it made me audibly laugh. Jokes aside, I'm really happy you made a video on this since I've been planning to move to Iceland if possible before it all tips over and am tired of my friends and family looking at me as if I'm a weirdo for thinking this...

As a central Ohio resident, I have been saying for years that we seemed to be in a "sweet spot" for weather. Nice to be validated in that opinion.

In the last 10 years the PNW has gone from mostly wet to less rain and much hotter summers. For me, I gotta have trees where I live. It's way hotter if you dont have your trees around.

I live in Newfoundland Canada where we have very short summers and the majority of the time its about 15 to 18°C and a few 25°C if were lucky. Maybe we might become a new place to flee climate change. The winters are bitterly cold with -20 to -28°C but im not complaining. Newfoundland has always experienced harsh winters with short summers and i couldnt be more satisfied. Alot of American families have bought older homes here visiting every summer. I guess a few of them may make Newfoundland a permanent home in the coming years.

It was great meeting you at Fully Charged, Joe! I'm figuring a cold 12-pack of Natty Light and a swamp cooler will get me through the worst of this climate change thing. It'll blow over in a few millennia.

With my home country being mainly already below sea level, once fit hits the shan my country will virtually disappear below the North Sea. Germany will *finally* get their wish 😂 (sorry my neighbors, I know I know!). Right now though I live in the Great Lakes area, so I should be fine. I’ve only been here for 6 years but I’ve noticed changes in the weather patterns. Spring seems to arrive later each year. This year we didn’t have any green on trees or bushes until late May, and didn’t get blooms until well into June. Migratory birds were really struggling and I had to put feed out to give Nature a hand as their natural food sources simply weren’t around yet, and wouldn’t be for months. Honestly, it really messed with my brain not seeing any leaves on the trees or bushes for so long. It very much gave me “wheel of time book 1” vibes with the winter that just won’t let up. Spring only seemed to last about a month and a half before summer kicked our behinds and we went from 80° weather to snow overnight. Now, anyone can say that’s not climate change or whatever, but that is NOT normal! At all. Anywhere. Ever. Also, need I remind people of the -60° week we had in Chicago? Because that was insanity. My family back in Europe called me to ask if it was really that cold. I had to tell them that yup. Very real. My building where I lived (which is pet friendly) had even set up a temporary dog relieving area inside the garage so we didn’t have to go outside with our dogs, as that simply was too dangerous and cold. Now, I can handle cold, don’t get me wrong. But I spent 5 minutes outside in that (don’t come after me, I needed some stuff from the corner store to get through the rest of that week), and I was bundled up like I was the freaking Michelin Man about to climb Mount Everest, and within the first breath of air, my nose hairs froze. And I mean they froze. And my head was inside a balaclava AND a woolen scarf. And my nose hairs still froze. So did the hair on my head, which wasn’t even damp to begin with. Just those 5 minutes outside caused me to have the beginnings of frost bite (2.5 minutes if that to the store, and back, so not even 5 minutes each way fyi). No one can tell me that is normal. Or that I should have expected that. Because I’m sorry, last I checked I didn’t move to the north or South Pole, and I didn’t (much to my chagrin) peak Mount Everest. Hell, those places aren’t even that cold. So yeah… weirdness in weather abounds even here.

I was born, raised, and still live in the proverbial Garden of Eden: southwestern Ontario, Canada. I am now 70 years old, so I don't expect to have to deal with the insanity of mass migration to the Great Lakes region. I've never had much of a carbon footprint, and it decreases with every year I remain alive. But I'm just one person, so my efforts are negligible. I don't want to experience the tipping point of climate change. It will be brutal, and I've already had sufficient brutality in my life, thank you. The things that people carry on about today I just don't understand. What is more important than Life? Because that's what you are talking about, Joe - unless I'm very much mistaken.

Funny you would say what you said about the Great Lakes region. One of my very best friends and her husband left Arizona on Saturday to move to Rochester, Minnesota. She left because "Minnesota will never run out of water."

Currently living in the great lakes region above one of the largest aquifers in the nation. We also have some of the lowest cost of living. I wonder how quickly that will change.

I've been thinking about moving internationally for most of my life. I stuck around because I live in one of the best 'survive global warming comfortably' locations in the Great Lakes, just above max possible sea level. Wish I could afford a house here!

I bought that shaver based on this promo on an older video and have been pretty happy with it. To be fair I was already on a market to get rid of my old 3 bladed shaver that I was paying a fortune on on replacement blades. I was reminded of the old style razors that my dad used to use but couldn't find them in the shops because a small handful of companies keep promoting their multiple blade shavers.

I've lived in Florida my whole life, my mother and father my grandparents we've all lived here our whole lives. And the heat and humidity are killing me. I work outside for a living and I'm 44 years old and it's doing a number on my body.

Hey, Joe. Longtime viewer. You ask if any of us have been motivated to move? I've already done so. I saw the writing on the wall back in 2013 and relocated my family to the pacific northwest. My maternal grandfather practically raised me on stories of the dustbowl. By which I mean the actual event, not just the time period. He had to bury his dead baby sister who died from dustlung because his mother was also dying of dustlung as she gave birth, his Pa wasn't able to make it back to the ranch for over a month due to the conditions...The horses wouldn't have survived if forced to move during the storms. He lost several as it was even with them sheltering in the barns in Sante Fe. My grandpa was six at the time. Fucking six. We lost a lot of cattle that year, too. This was in rural new mexico. So, yeah. It sucked. Grampaw told me stories of the dust clouds that reached impossibly high in the sky like a moving wall of death. Walls that seemed to inch suddenly apearing on the horizon until it reached you, and then hit it you like a brick wall. blacking everything out and making it impossible to see without your eyeballs being sandblasted, couldn't breath without inhaling a bunch of sandy dirt.. He didn't have the word we do today to describe it, but they were haboobs. My family has a long memory. When I saw small back to back haboobs in 2013 I knew it was time to bug the fuck out. I convinced my wife we needed to GTFO if we meant to beat the flood of inevitably northbound climate refugees. ...Long story short, that's what we did. Now my extrended family have started to trickle after me in the past few years. Real estate here is starting to go through the roof. And the real migration push hasn't even really started yet. The next sixty years or so will become known for a number of reasons as 'the great dying". Nor will it just be confined to the wild animal population. I fully expect the human cost to eventually tally into the billions before all Iis said & done. We will survive as a species, but the world we know today will have vanished. Replaced with what I cannot say. But those who are being born today and millenials will bear witness to one of the most tectonic shifts in earth's long history. Even still, though we humans may have trigggered the severtity of the event when you step back and look at things with a long view, we're life's only shot at a ticket off this rock. At best earth's got what? Maybe half a billion years, maybe billion years tops before the magnetosphere pops or the sun starts to swell. Under either condition all life becomes impossible on this rock. It took three and a half billion years for just ONE species to arise capable of escaping, the chances of another arising in time to noah's ark this shit elsewhere is vanishingly thin. Nature will just have to cut us some slack on the heavy learning curve if she wants a ticket off this rock. Much as the hippies may scream about the enviroment, the hard reality is the clock was always ticking, whether we arose or not. The universe is not static. Life here was always going to die eventually. Only we humans provide it any slim hope it may be continued elsewhere. Cheers.

I live in Auckland NZ. I chose to move here 25 years ago, to minimize the risks of pandemics and a European war. But climate change gets us all. We just had a record rainstorm. 300mm in a day! So, we are all in this together…..

When you said "If you have a house in the Great Lakes region, give me it." I'd like to point out that you could probably sell your car and afford a house in the rust belt area of NE Ohio and Western PA with the money.

For those thinking "we'll move to northern Canada", the answer is (after all the laughing stops): nope. Why? The soil is thin and acidic and on top of the Canadian Shield. Muskeg is common - acidic swamps and bogs from millennia of pine forests on top of undraining shield. And we need to keep the tundra frozen - it's a huge CO2 sink, and if it melts out, all that CO2 will be released into the atmosphere, and that would be.... bad. So, moving way north is not an option.

My husband and I moved from Austria to Ireland in 2019 and our reason was indeed climate change. To be honest, we didn't think the sh. Would hit the fan this quick... Happy in Ireland though, it's a good and easy life here. Greetings 💚

I've never done well in heat. Summer is my least favorite season. I love living in the Northwoods of Lower Michigan. It can be sweltering in town but comfortable in my forest home.

I held my breath waiting for you to say "Europe is no bueno because it'll have a mini ice-age" and there you were! Norway, Sweden and England! They'll be frozen solid when the ocean currents die.

When it comes to cities a lot of things can be done by good city planning though. E.g less concrete, more green or even giant shadow curtains as sometimes seen in Spain

I live in the Great lakes region, aka rust belt. After years of population decline, I was really hoping this area being least affected would be a well kept secret.

I live in Alberta Canada. This summer and fall near Fort McMurray was the most pleasant summer and fall in the last 30 years in my memory. The viciously cold and long winters also appear to have become milder.

(Comment about Sponsor spot at end) Fun fact about shaving blades -- some of the multi-bladed cartridges are designed in such a way that you can actually strop them on a strip of leather (usually used for straight razors). So yeah, you can actually extend the useful life of a blades. The Henson single blade is definitely possible to strop & hone periodically, making those blades last many times longer.

As always, the best place to survive a catastrophe is in a huge mansion on top of a massive bank account.

I feel really lucky to live where I live 🇨🇦 some of us don’t appreciate it as much as we should, there’s much worse places in the world to live, and much less fortunate but I never forget it!

20 years ago, our winters in the Hudson Valley NY were brutal. In most winters there was snow on the ground from Nov to Apr. Now we don't get that much snow and single-digit temps are rare. The problem here is that we have had more severe storms and we even had a tornado. It kills me how many people refuse to accept reality and choose to ignore scientific evidence and all information including changes in the climate over their lifetime where they live.

I was hoping you'd say "Costa Rica" because we moved here 3 years ago, but that aside, this one of the best explainer CC vids and wholly realistic without making it seem like there is ZERO hope.

I moved to Louisiana about 15 years ago, and even just in that time I've seen the heat, humidity, and weather events grow dramatically more inhospitable. Right after the first pandemic lockdowns we got hit with 2 back-to-back hurricanes, one of them breaking multiple records. Then an ice storm in a place that literally never freezes. Which ruptured pipes and took out power for thousands of homes that still had holes in them from the hurricanes. Then widespread flooding in new places, particularly urban centers that were damaged from the aforementioned storms and random freeze... All that happened 1 year. To say we're tired is an understatement. And yes many have started to leave. Cajuns!- Coming soon to a city far away from the equator!

Tasmania is much like NZ in this regard. I'm glad to be living here these days since I'm not back in NZ anymore.

Just moved from dallas to Washington state in September...an area with highs of 73 in the summer, lows of 35 in the winter, minimal rain, minimal snow, mostly sunny.

I do believe that is the first time you have made it all the way through one of your videos without playing your obnoxious background bass music. Thank you very much I thoroughly enjoyed this one

Love these kinds of videos! Less jargon/technical and has so much practical information. Thanks Joe for all your hard work!

I live in Eastern Washington and the weather has been getting nicer... ish. We're not used to 100 degree days in summer and those have become very common. But we've also seen a lot less snow. The biggest problem at this point is all the smoke from Oregon and California burning.

8:10 That’s the EXACT reason we left Dallas. I loved it there - Texas was good to us. But after 10 summers of my kids having to stay indoors every day, we wanted them to be able to go out and play while school was out. We said goodbye to our lovely neighbors and moved North (where I’m from). It was the right choice for us, but I’ll always miss Texas.

The fact that a map of all African countries was placed on top of South America and vice versa and not enough people are mentioning it is crazy to me

Its odd to say Ireland is in a good spot because it only has 2% agriculture. At face value that means they can continue to provide their services. On the other hand, it also means that they are reliant on the world for their food...

I moved from Dallas (Plano, actually) to Seattle 10 years ago for a job. I retired last year and moved to Port Angeles, WA. The climate in Dallas sucks by comparison. It doesn't freeze very often here, and a heatwave is when the highs are in the upper 80s. It's a bucolic, semi-rural area and many things already grow year-round here if you irrigate during the dry season. I'm also near the ocean, but nearly 100 feet above sea level. The one downside to this area is the forest fires. Port Angeles doesn't experience a lot of forest fires here, exactly. But for some reason whenever there are huge fires in California, Oregon, British Columbia or even mainland Washington, we get blanketed by the smoke. Some weeks in the summer you have to stay indoors just to avoid the smoke and haze. But I firmly believe you don't know how bad things are where you live until you move some place with a much nicer environment. No way am I moving back to Texas.

As an Australian I would say go to New Zealand. Summer’s here are getting unbearably hot and our bush fire season is getting long and worse. And where running out of water with less rainfall which is drying the land and trees.

I regret to inform you that here in England we import 50% of all food. So it be a lean lifeboat...

Ive been watching Joe for a long time and have to say his presentation is about perfect now

In the seventies, my dad and his friends discussed where will be the safest place to live in case of a nuclear war. They chose the Falkland island.

I guess I should consider myself lucky to live on the shore of Lake Ontario. On the Canadian side. First time in my life I've been glad to be still living in my hometown 😊

I live in the Great Lakes area but don't have a house. My families been looking but the market has been terrible and most of the houses we've looked at have had obvious foundational issues. To be clear we aren't looking at 50K homes here, we're looking at houses that should be worth no more than 200K but are selling for 250K to 300K and they have issues that would realistically raise the cost to 350K+ (Fixing basements, replacing roofs, replacing ancient heaters and air conditioners, ect).

I've thought about this a lot the last couple years. I've been seriously looking at moving to the Buffalo, NY area or Canada. My biggest concern is water supply and wars over water.

What worries me most is the potential for the melting of Greenland’s ice shelf to stop the Gulf Stream, causing a catastrophic freeze in Northern Europe. This would have consequences worldwide with currents being disrupted. I don’t know if we can foresee the results this could have.

Moved to Dallas over two years ago, these are the questions I was asking myself to, like you live here and sweat and do laundry all the time, then you just don't go outside because its like walking into a blowdryer, then it's freezing. My lease it up in two months, I have decided to leave it is unfortunate as if it wasnt for the extreme heat, I would really like this city and the area that I live in in UpTown.

I live along Lake Erie and have been saying for years that this is rhe best place to live in the US. Not much seismic activity, fresh water access, all 4 seasons, no big tornadoes or hurricanes, and some flooding can happen in spots but not like in other places.

I bought a Henson razer and couldn't be happier with it. Thanks for promoting quality products Joe.

Joe, all I can say is thank you for being so real in this video. I hate how everyone always seems to think climate change is either not a problem or the literal end of the world. You offer a tiny sip on honesty in a desert of the sands of lies and distrust. The world would be such a better place with more Joe Scotts in it!

It's weird how people don't realize most of the ice has already melted. There's only like 5% left vs 14K years ago.

Thank you for this clear, research-based, funny narrative. Will be using it for a high school science project assignment. Currently live in central CA and constantly think about moving north with retirement in 4 years.

Moved to Québec 4 year ago. Climate was not the bigest motive then, but after this summer I know that I will stay. It was hell summer in my home country, drougths, month-long heatwave, violent stroms... It feels safer here, Québec is built for hard climate.

I lived in Grand Forks ND for 5 years and hated every moment of it and now you're saying its going to become a huge area to live in the future.

Weird how you can still get a 30 year mortgage on any beach front property on the coast

I live on the east side of cleveland and we are having a housing crisis and traffic infrastructure problem the past 5 yrs. House prices have trippled as has rent. It is hard to survive here if you do not own your home. Property taxes havent gone up that much so it hasnt removed the midfle class yet. Not to mention the noticeable change in winters here in the past 20yrs. Average temperature is around freezing in the winter with dips and rises. And alot of rises the past couple yrs. When as a kid i remember near 0F for a good part of winter.

I completely understand what you mean when you mentioned talking with your family about potentially moving to cooler climates. We're right next door to you in Irving, TX and this summer was absolutely BRUTAL. We've actually thought about Alaska. Great video, Joe!

Three things: 1. As little as 6,000 years ago, the vast Sahara Desert was covered in grassland that received plenty of rainfall, but shifts in the world's weather patterns abruptly transformed the vegetated region into some of the driest land on Earth. You should make a video on how this can be compared to the climate change we are experiencing. 2. We should focus more research on adapting to climate change. 3. We should continue promoting and developing all types of carbon neutral energy sources.

I live on a sand stone island in the Atlantic, with every hurricane season it gets worse. I cant imagine housing being insurable much longer here. We’ve started the long process of figuring out how and where to move

thankfully i have a vacation home up on the lakes but the water levels have been crazy the past few years even some homes are about to fall in the water.. we lost most of the front lawn due to the huge waves so its a nice place in the summer but when the November storms come around you have to really pack everything down and be ready to lose some decks and land.
