With climate change upon us, where’s the safest place in California to live?
Sacramento Bee ^ | September 7, 2017 | By Shawn Hubler

If climate change is a given, what’s the best place to live? Or, maybe, the least-worst?

It’s not an easy question. Just asking it feels somehow simultaneously obvious and alarmist.

There’s no place to hide from global warming, by definition. And until recently climate change wasn’t supposed to be a given.

If you were on the right, it wasn’t supposed to exist. If you were on the left, it was supposed to be something humanity could put the brakes on. If you were in the middle, it was one of those things to worry about later, like your 401(k) or North Korea.

So where to outrun the coming catastrophe? And is it possible for a Californian to outrun it and still be in California? Titley, who has lived in Monterey and San Diego, but now lives in climate resilient Pennsylvania, was one of several climate scientists who generously shared their perspectives with me.

The good news is, California knows how to do this, Frances C. Moore, an assistant professor of environmental economics at UC Davis told me. The whole state is already engineered, and rich enough to double down, if needed.

“As relatively wealthy places, the United States and California are in a better position to manage the adverse consequences of climate change,” Moore reminded. California’s grid is set up to supply air conditioning to hot places. Infrastructure is a core competency in this state. And, most crucially, policymakers get its importance.

“We know we have a problem, and we know that we can reduce greenhouse gases that are a primary driver,” Moore said.

When I see the elite dumping their beech houses at bargain prices I may start to worry.

“California’s grid is set up to supply air conditioning to hot places. “

California has to import electricity to cover its usage. Even so, during hot weather or power plant outages - not uncommon events - they’ve had plenty of rolling blackouts.

But the facts never concern liberals...

Nebraskans say “Thanks a lot.”. LOL! If the true believers would actually do the “right thing” it just might save the planet. Jim Jones, pick up the red courtesy phone.

The best place to live has the fewest LIBs within a radius of 50 miles (at a minimum).

The Midwest breadbasket is a good place to consider since the climate has been very good for growing food. In fact, new record yields have been established for corn, wheat, and soybeans. Sometimes, climate change is good, very good.
