And the states are using slavery to fight the fires. Welcome to hell.
Western half of the country*
And yeah smells bad man.
We take the existing metropolitan areas, confiscate the land in the cooler areas by the coast from the bourgeoisie, and build super dense housing in its place with decent public transit
Yep consolidating populations is going to be necessary to combat climate change. Also we should have stopped building in flood and fire prone areas a long fucking time ago.
If I have to live in a mega city I will kill myself. No way I can handle that being nd.
You’d need to move people temporarily to the cities where rich people currently are fine and then pump loads of infrastructure money afterwards into areas like norcal to make them not hell for the people living there. With enough money the homes aren’t really the problem, it’s how these affect people who are largely responsible for US food production etc.
Do we just evacuate the entire western half of the US?
desertification is a mofo
probably not, and next year conservatives will use it to deny anything is wrong… “see the country’s not on fire this year, it was clearly a fluke, and outlier everything continues as normal”
It tends to regrow fairly quickly, and you’ll see shoots popping out all up and down burnt trees after only a couple of months. By next summer it may still be too juvenile but given the right conditions it could still go up.
Beyond that, there’s still a lot of area of Australian bushland that wasn’t burned which is literally fuel for the fire next summer.
It’s lit out here.
