Just read an article on how the poor will be the worst hit by increased climate change.

Well, no duh. The poor are always the worst hit, that's why they're poor.

And I'm looking at the situation, and I know, I know that whatever happens, whoever survives, they'll make something of it. Not necessarily what we would all like to see, but something. And I really, really, really want to be a couple of thousand years from now, right now, just to see how it all turned out. Because I won't, of course. This is the part of the book that's the interesting, fascinating, page-turner part. I want to skip ahead to the end and read the middle after, and I'm kinda irked that I can't.

(And I bet it's one of those books that spawns a whole series that are just variations on the theme, same book with different covers. So I'd really only have to read the end once.)

But what about all the poor rich people who own beachfront property? Their beautiful mansions will get swamped by the sea, and then they'll only be able to spend their vacations in the mountains or out on the ranch.

*cries thinking of the poor rich people*

With luck, they're poor rich dumb people and will keep on buying up beachfront property, allowing people like me to move inland. I'm just trying to find a place that won't also be drought stricken or something like that.
