As said, Capitalist Climate Collapse is worsening, if you could flee- where would you want to flee to? Where do you think would be safest and why? I know no where is/will be safe, every ecology is in decline and theres no safety from a global event, and humans are bat shit crazy and you can be eaten alive sweaty fascist chuds anywhere- but just play the game.
I've dreamed of WA state for along time, somewhere near Bellingham- far north(for being in amerika), it rains and there is fresh water, seems like the western fires aren't that bad yet between the coast and cascades. And being close to the Canadian border at least makes me feel like I could make a run for it and escape the US.
Yeah, that's a good rule of thumb to have. Fuck, I wish I had a better answer to the question, but all really I've learned is that rainfall patterns are going to go fucking nuts and the majority of the US is going to be much, much drier. Local access to a lake, spring, or well should be your 2nd priority long-term.
