    I’d be more worried about the next 8 years honestly. The sheer volume of heat we are holding onto in this solar cycle/el nino combo is going to cause mass drought and famine at the minimum.

      This is honestly what’s making it hard for me to decide to buy a house where I’m at now. I live in a state that is extremely hot in summer and record temps we experienced this past few months only means it will get worse. Do I invest in buying a home and settling down in a place that may barely be inhabitable in a decade?

        Unfortunately I really don’t think anywhere is “safe” anymore. Food/water/shelter are the three main things we need, so what happens if food/water get scarce?
