A northwest passage
A northern passage has now opened in the Arctic, raising the possibility that at some point in the lives of at least some of you younger bloggers, you'll take a summer cruise across the North Pole. The warmer Earth is a reality. I have no idea what it means in the long-term. Of course, those who are going to be whisked up to heaven in 10 or 20 years might not need to worry about any of this long-term "nonsense" but the rest of us hell-bound denizens of Mother Earth have a right to be concerned.

Getting used to crazy weather for a start... oh, and not living near the coast! It'll be interesting seeing New York turning into a tropical Venice though.....
Short-term disruptions will be difficult. Then there will be the tension between those who gain from the changes (the Soviet Union and Canada perhaps?) and those who lose (Africa and India?)
I think that the next 100 years are going to be tough on everyone.
Good time to buy real estate in Canada.
I think you're right. There's a lot of land up there.
no, not Canada, no way....not me.
I'm staying by the ocean in the hopes San Diego builds a desalination plant and stops running the Colorado River dry.
Think of a spinning top....you, know..a kid's toy. After it loses balance but before it stops, it wobbles erratically.
I predict any location on Earth will experience both colder AND hotter than norm weather (for that location) in any given year; and most years will be more erratic than the one before.
I'm opting for a little winter snow in southern Cal & hoping I don't frizzle to a crisp in summer. Personal choice. We have hell to pay everywhere on the planet. And, yes, I live high on a hill (future island).
Alaska looks good to me. And we can even hunt down the last few remaining polar bears and get rid of the last vestiges of competition at the top of the food chain. We wouldn't want them to evolve beyond us (or perhaps meet us in the middle as we devolve).
