if you ever considered moving north, better pick up the pace. people are already starting to move away from the heat, buying up all the properties, and it's not going to get any better

People aren't doing that because of the way that warmer temperatures are causing megafires in boreal forests.

true, no place is really safe from climate change. i was mostly referring to stories like this https://www.npr.org/2021/01/22/956904171/americans-are-moving-to-escape-climate-impacts-towns-expect-more-to-come

i live in a tiny town in the mountains and it's getting more crowded every year
