DULUTH, Minn. As the West burns, the South swelters and the East floods, some Americans are starting to reconsider where they choose to live.

Didn’t know you could grow anything under a mile of ice!
What happens in Kodiak, stays in Kodiak.
They used “The Silent Spring” to scare the crap out of us in elementary school. I frankly thought the earth would be destroyed by now. By the 1990s in fact.

Because if they are trying to run away from global warming, that means they believe in it and that means they are liberals.
No, don't come here. Not just "no" but "hale no!"
ahh!
Big cold is a better bet!
you’re taking me way too seriously.
My response to cooling or warming is move. That’s what people have always done.
As for me, I’m in San Diego one of the most moderate climates on the planet and we can stay here no matter which way things go.
