I'd assume Great Lakes states like Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, etc. will be the leasr fucked. Hell I figure they may be some of the some of the least fucked places on the whole planet, alsongside their Canadian counterparts on the lakes' north shores.
Most fucked are the Four Corners states maybe? Or Florida? Lousiana?
What do you all think?
Real sincere post hours: my climate rant- anything below the 40th parallel will be feeling "the worst effects of climate change"- aka: no matter what you dont wanna be there in 20 years if you can be anywhere else, and obviously moving sooner than later is better so you can build community and use all of our wonderful an-com organizing strategies. I think the best place geographically is the great lakes region- like duluth may be the single best urban area in the US for the physical effects of climate change. However, I am planning on making my last stand somewhere in the PNW
Here is my case for the PNW: climate seems to have 2nd best outlook other than great lakes(they have been getting summer heat waves- well you're gonna get that everywhere and worse most places: plan on building a basement/some place to hang out underground- will keep you cool/survivable regardless of ground level temps esp. when the electric ends up going out at least periodically- but if you have kids, expect to be telling them or their kids or whatever the stories about 24hr electricity!) so, rain looks largely stable, cant grow or raise anything to eat without somewhat stable rain; is above 40th parallel; is close to canada so if things go even more sideways you are atleast close to becoming a refugee and you'll have a home base to get sent back to where you can easily try again! The natural resources in this area are simply unbelievable, and a tremendous variety of biodiversity and ecological variety- bodes well for long term potential; Biggest thing I have is the region, im guessing largely due to having a long standing economy based on resource extraction(timber, fishing, etc) has left it with a political culture where folks on both 'sides of the isle' are willing to introduce legislation that protects natural resources(no where else I am familiar with has this cultural capacity!) and, it is simply the only region I have ever been too that has actual leftist culture AND, I get it- nazis live there too, yes they sure do! Whatever, they live everywhere else also in this shit hole country but no one fucking fights them in the streets in most places- so, I'll be alright dying on a hill there
Recap for PNW: water stable-ish(can grow food and raise animals with what falls from the sky for free); 2nd best climate outlook per region; is north of 40th parallel; amazing biodiversity; could feasibly flee the US; political culture of accepting common sense environmental reforms(this is huge!); and my favorite- leftists to fight alongside. Something to think about, comrades- My dream on getting 5-10 acres within ~60min of major urban area, and growing/raising food to feed the homeless, actually owning a home, and maybe even meet some super cool comrades...Thats a OR, WA dream. If you never visited before, worth checking out and seeing for yourself!

Thanks for contributing this on the ground perspective, comrade! I feel very arm chair general vibes having put this one out there(currently living in small mtn. town in s.w.) On fires- My thoughts are everything rocky mtn and west of, is its gonna burn. Good buddy was hot shot, now knees blown out has a fire related desk job now, he thinks the Rockies and Sierras will be fully bald in our lifetimes- drought, invasive Beatle infestation, fires-make a holy trifecta of no trees left standing. That said, and here's my huge weakness, I just aint gonna move to fucking Michigan or Ohio and realistically, I'll never have enough money to move to or be lucky enough to marry a new zealander, so N. America is it for me, and no way they'll even let me into Canada. So, I'll take my best option and be your neighbor, we'll have some great grill outs before it all falls apart!
Serious question, for you as a local- I see the hugest future divide being a east/ west one in OR and WA- east(bend/spokane(even kennewich area, cant be sure those rivers will keep up) poor water future vs. west(port-eugene/anywhere between Puget sound and Cascades regions?) pretty solid, have any thoughts on that?
