This is why I get angry that whenever I complain on Reddit about climate change because of massive heatwaves someone said "just emigrate north lmao". Neoliberals are deluded, we have to solve the problem, period.
Big "sell your house to aquaman" energy
The global South would want to move south for the same effect.
Penguins are so much worse than polar bears.
They both drink Coke on Christmas from what I've seen on tv
Much less land in the south unless Antarctica completely defrosts.
It’s pretty ironic that right wing parties in Europe are actually making what they hate, African migration to Europe, more likely to happen. They don’t want any money going to programs that combat climate change and they don’t want aid going to Africa to help Africans survive and thrive and build their economies.
They also fail to understand that there are 9 theorized planetary boundaries needed to support human life, and we've crossed at least 6 if not 7 of them. We need to not cross ANY. Moving north doesn't fix most of these PLANETARY boundaries
Could you expand on what are those boundaries and what have we already crossed? Seems interesting.

Here you go :) It's a complex topic so unfortunately summarizing it would still create a very large comment
"Solve" was 20 years ago. Now it's only "mitigate". But that's the difference between global catastrophe and literal breakdown of organized society.
No. Solve is solve. period. I want a solution.
We could solve global warming right now with intentional cloud seeding, but many are worried geoengineering could be too effective and freeze us. Or, if we solve the heating, it could give fossil fuels the wrong impression that they can keep pumping CO² into the air despite it still killing the oceans with carbonic acid.
Ben Shapiro "sell your collapsing coastal house" energy.
North is their answer.. Ask them if Canada is north enough..
Where we had that Hell Dome^TM from June 25 to July 1, 2021 and 526 people died after it reached 50°c and didn't cool off at night-- making it "the deadliest weather event in Canada to date."
Or how about when it flooded so bad in the same place, 6 months later, that thousands of animals died, 20k people needed to be evacuated, and roads broke-- cutting off the Greater Vancouver Region from the rest of the Province.
Heatwave
Flood
North won't save anyone 😬
Most people take complaining as an opportunity to give advice. Moving to a less risk adverse area is good advice and probably the most any one person can achieve in terms of reducing their personal climate change related risks. If you don't want to get those kinds of answers you have to specify that you either dont actually want advice or that you specifically want advice that you personally can't do anything with.
