This is neat, but I think the impact is diminished by people thinking, "Oh, I live in New York, it's going to be like Louisiana. I visited there once, it's not so bad."

Like, that's not the point. That change comes with unimaginable devastation and crises. Famine and drought leading to pestilence and war. If you are thinking, "Oh, I'll get more use out of my beach house," you're one of the worst humans alive right now.

I checked and Orlando, FL will be as hot as south of Mexico City which is clearly wrong. It'll be cooler since it will be submerged.

Comparing my city with a city I've never been to isn't all that helpful.

Luckily the internet exists and allows you to see present day conditions without going to the place yourself!

Woof. Chicago feeling like Tulsa might be moderated a bit if you're close to the lake.

Close to that in general though will suck. I've been through Tulsa and OKC in the summer and thanks no thanks.

Bad news: 10 degrees hotter.

Good news: I'll have been dead for decades by then.

No no no. We're discovering immortality next decade. You get to experience all of it.
