A Week of Doom

I don't think there's anything I like more than collapse talk and Slate's got a whole week of it. Today is America vs. Climate Change day. We get to take bets on what parts of the country are most likely to be hardest hit (Southwest, coast cities) and where we'll go if things get bad (Canada). I've hedged my bets and will be residing in Wisconsin.

But maybe I should have booked my ticket for Buffalo, NY:

As for Buffalo's winning characteristics, Shibley notes that "you've got
agricultural land around our perimeter, you have the power from the water and [Niagara] Falls, and you have the industrial infrastructure to die for, the roads and railroads." And even with all of those enticements, there's still plenty of primo waterfront land available for purchase. As he points out one inviting tract, Shibley shouts: "Come home, we're ready to go!"
