MY FAVORITE PLACES TO SURVIVE HELL ON EARTH
The Three Largest Great Lakes: Michigan, Superior and Huron - My Favorite Place in the US and Canada to Weather "Falling off Hubbert's Cliff," and then "Hell on Earth"
I saw a documentary, which I have yet to find again, which showed the future of the US and Canada, after radical climate change, with all of the population around the Great Lakes. The logic is that with climate change, most of the country will become either deserts in the West, South West, and bread basket states, or flooded. Much of Florida would be under water even with a three foot rise in sea levels. With up to a 60 foot rise in sea levels, as documented to have occurred during the Pliocene period, with even a 3-4C rise in global temperatures, when carbon levels were similar to today's levels, this would likely put Florida completely under water. My best guesstimate is that the 3-4C rise in global mean temperatures will occur by 2030-2050, resulting in up to a 60 foot rise in sea levels globally.
Dr. Jim Hansen notes that when the global mean temperatures were 2C warmer than today, which I guesstimate will occur by 2030, sea levels were 6 feet higher than today, and this small of a rise in global mean temperatures above pre-industrial average temperatures, caused super storms that moved thousand ton boulders around. This may bury most of Florida, over to New Orleans, and up most of the delta areas.
How fun, we can dive to Disney World in Orlando, and for advanced divers, you can go experience the Florida Keys like you never did before! See how positively I am taking this climate change thingy! All kinds of new dive sites, yeah!
East coast cities, including New York City and most of the South Eastern states are likely to be under water and trashed by the combination of sea level increases and super storms. Most of the coastal cities around the country would likely be under water as well. If San Francisco builds a sufficiently high enough water barrier in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, which I trust they will, it may be the rare exception to this flooding, due to the mountains along the coast, except at the entrance to the San Francisco Bay.
Based on my forecasts, I expect that the world will be in this condition by 2050-2070. Where would people go? They would migrate around the Great Lakes for survival.
I went to Petoskey High School, on Little Traverse Bay, on the north west shore of the southern peninsula of Michigan, on Lake Michigan. I plan on moving back to this area, when my wife retires around 2030. I trust that this will be one of the best places to be when the world falls off Hubbert's Cliff, and energy prices skyrocket, driving the world into a Global Inflationary Great Depression permanently, from a Global Deflationary Great Depression. This does not even consider the impacts of climate change causing people to migrate to this area. The area has abundant fresh water, wild life, fishing and farming, which I trust will be essential as climate change is making the wold mostly deserts and flooded areas, and running out of cheap energy, has skyrocketed the prices of everything, most importantly, these key essentials prices.
The Great Lakes can't be flooded, due to Niagra Falls, so it is particularly strategic, both because they are the largest bodies of fresh water on the planet, and they can't be flooded. They have experienced significant droughts, however, the most recent was roughly a decade ago. As these are the largest bodies of fresh water, and there are significant numbers of small lakes surrounding these bodies of water, drying up, as in the West, South West, and bread basket states, is not nearly as likely. Plus, most of the areas around The Three Large Great Lakes (Michigan, Superior, and Huron) have the primary essentials for surviving hell on earth: water, wild life, fishing and farming. Being far inland, and not having any inflow from the oceans, will also be critical, as oceans become contaminated with radioactive materials, which I expect by the second half of this century, due to "The Radioactive Methane Monster Feedback Loop." See the next page, also be sure to watch Dr. Steve Hosea: The Perils of Fukushima.
My favorite small towns are Petoskey, where I went to high school, and Traverse City, which is on Grand Traverse Bay. Ann Arbor, where University of Michigan is located, is my favorite city, which I think will be a key university working on modern farming by this time. Plus, there are many farming areas north of Ann Arbor, with many lakes as well. For those looking for currently more remote locations, consider the Northern Peninsula of Michigan, and Canadian borders of Lake Surperior and Lake Huron.

My Favorite Place to Be Until "Falling off Hubbert's Cliff" - Lake Tahoe
Tahoe is a natural wonder, like few on the planet. The lake and surrounding mountains are amazing, but ongoing droughts are making getting our sailboat out of the Tahoe Keys Marina questionable every year. As climate change turns California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas and surrounding areas into deserts, I trust that keeping states from using the water left in Lake Tahoe for drinking and critical farming, is likely to be difficult.
Hopefully, this will not be until around 2030, when we are likely to be heading back to Petoskey, MI, to prepare for falling off "Hubbert's Cliff." We have only been able to get our boat out of the marina the last two years, because they dredged the sand in the channel heading into the marina. We are now about 3 inches from hitting bottom again, so we need ongoing good snow fall each winter to be able to get our sailboat out of the marina. I expect that this will not occur, due to climate change. The whole summer has been sunny and hot, with little to no precipitation. So I expect that we will have to take the sailboat to the San Francisco Bay in the next few years, as getting the sailboat out to Lake Tahoe for sailing is not likely to be possible.
The big problem will be water for survival. The reservoirs are very low again, after a "normal snow fall" last winter (2015-2016), and record breaking dry years, since 2010-2011, the last big snow winter. Even the aquifers are reaching record lows. As I expect these trends to continue to get worse, it should be within the next decade that they are likely to have to tap Lake Tahoe water for survival. One article I was sent from Las Vegas last summer (2015), stated that the two Governors from California and Nevada, already agreed in principal to use Lake Tahoe's water for state water needs, which currently is prohibited, prior to our "normal snow fall" last winter (2015-2016).
To get this chart, type in "Lake Tahoe Water Level USLakes." Be sure to click on 2011, it will drop off the chart options next year, as they only provide five years of data. Last September we were hitting bottom, when the lake level dropped to 6,222.24, it is 6,222.49 today (10/12/16), so I trust that we have .2 of a foot before we hit bottom again.

By 2030, I trust that you will have to hike out on the large sand bar at South Lake Tahoe and other beaches, or down the mountains around the steep drop areas, to get to the water in Lake Tahoe. If this occurs by 2030, we will be heading back to Petoskey, MI to prepare for falling off "Hubbert's Cliff," if this has not already happened!

New Zeland - My Favorite Spot to Weather "Hell on Earth"
Although New Zeland is not a Nordic Model country, due to the British influence it has many traits of the Nordic countries, such as free healthcare. Most importantly, it is my favorite choice to survive what I believe is the likely rapid deterioration in economic and environmental conditions by 2025-2050. The east coast of New Zeland has significant methane hydrates, but they appear deep enough to not affect the risk of living in the country, at least based on what I understand at this time. As New Zeland is relatively small, all locations look promising, unlike Australia, as most of Australia is desert, and the risks of wildfires are significant, with ongoing climate change in Australia. Both New Zeland and Australia are nuclear free, not any nuclear reactors or weapons, hence, not the risk of "The Methane Monster Feedback Loop," as the US and Asian coasts face.
The south west shores have large beautiful fiords, which appear to me to offer the safest place ultimately to weather the death of most of the species due to the ravages of runaway climate change and over population on Planet Titanic. New Zeland is one of the most southern locations on the planet, and appears to have the most stable economy, versus other southerly locations, like Chile, Argentina, Australia, and South Africa. For those looking for the best place to raise children, and younger people, New Zeland ranks number one in my opinion.
As Wiki notes: New Zealand is identified as one of the world's most stable and well-governed nations.[75] As of 2011, the country was ranked fifth in the strength of its democratic institutions[76] and first in government transparency and lack of corruption.[77] New Zealand has a high level of civic participation, with 79% voter turnout during the most recent elections, compared to an OECD average of 72%. Furthermore, 67% of New Zealanders say they trust their political institutions, far higher than the OECD average of 56%.[78]
