heh.

Climate change effects as criteria for relocation.
Interesting.

I thought Colorado immune, foolishly,
but this morning started contemplating the avalanche
as a climate change driven killer.

Yep, wildfire and drought right in there as well.

Stick to the east slope.
Caint get any capers over here.

Reviving the thread... For you Coloradans, how necessary is it to go to Denver, from Ft Collins? How worried are you about climate change affecting the area? Wildfires, drought, etc? Being 8 hours from Yellowstone sounds pretty awesome, but of course the Yellowstone Caldera can be cause for concern (?)

I think you would be better served to be more concerned about the end of the Mayan calendar.

If Yellowstone blows, living in Paris won't be safe.  IMHO, if Yellowstone blows, being as close as possible to Yellowstone is probably the best scenario.

Reading wikipedia has made me feel better about that whole thing - the 'real' threat is more in "Hydrothermal explosion hazards" which sound like they would be destructive, but localized (right?).

Even when we were originally looking into moving inside France, or to the German border, I was trying to find climate change graps/maps to see where would be the 'least affected.' Europe seems to be somewhat 'safer' but only because it's smaller, from what I've read. What's interesting is to see the climate models scientists have put out for Pangea. Because it was one big mass, the center had horrible horrible weather, apparently.

Since the western slope of CO relies almost entirely on mountain snow melt for its water supply, I think it's wise to take climate change into consideration. I loved living there, but I don't think I could move back, in part because of climate change and wildfires. Also, I think coming from a major European city to CO could be a bit tough. You're sort of on an isolated island. The wilderness is fantastic, but you're gonna have to fly for any decent city experience (sorry Denver, you don't count).

Sure, but I HATE HATE HATE Paris. That should help a little with the transition perhaps...

I think you need to take road trip around CO, and visit with the AHA guys who live in each of those places. It's hard to get a feel for a place if you don't have a good tour guide. Who knows, maybe you'd LOVE Grand Junction. Glenwood Springs has gotten pretty hip lately, too.

Tolkien's maps of the Middle Earth are more accurate than the fantasy maps that you are looking at.

With any luck, you'll die in a car accident or from heart disease before global warming or Yosemite does you in.

That's a pretty great idea. When we get closer to taking a vacation I'll post a note. Thanks!
