It's just depressing that people can be so far from reality

It's good information though, allows you to grok why nothing will be done and why civilisation will collapse and you can use that to make sure you're not in the front of the queue at least.

Flooding will get worse, move off the flood plain, heat will get worse, SE Vic and Tassie , sea level rise will make some areas unlivable, droughts will get worse, bushgikes will get worse, stay away from them etc etc. Learn some skills, grow some food, all of those actions are an anecdote to that depression. Sure, were all affected but if your burnt out by a bushfire or your house is flooded it makes for a shitter life.

Were not doing anything but make it all worse.

Guy down the road from me here in Tassie moved here 6 months before the mega floods in Lismore, which was why he moved (mand while surprised it happened so quickly after he moved, he knew it would happen again.

Nearly every time I chat to old friends from North Qld (my old stomping ground) every summer all they do is bitch about how hot it is and they can't handle this shit. (I moved from there 20 years ago becase it was unlivable then)
