Quite possibly. The nice weather of California is moving North. People will move North to escape the heat, and others will move inland as the costs of living on the coasts mounts from flooding and storms. It will all be pretty gradual, though, over many decades. The people who will deal with the majority of the problems we are creating today will be our children. What kind of world are we leaving behind? On the one hand, I feel sorry for my children, because we're going to leave behind a country that will be bankrupt from overspending and a world that will be much less hospitable to life. On the other hand, amazing new technologies and medicines will be invented in their lifetimes that will boggle the mind. Maybe our children will be the first to experience space vacations routinely or be able to live on another planet or in a self-contained bio-bubble on the Moon? Who knows?

Did you know that Stephen Hawking, widely regarded as one of the smartest people alive today, recently said that colonizing other planets is now an existential imperative for the human race? He doesn't believe that the human race will survive if we don't develop the ability to live on another planet due to the speed at which we are destroying this one, as well as killing each other through wars and mass terrorism. Of course, Stephen Hawking is just another of those junk scientists that are foisting their hoaxes on us by decree, right? Longnshort assures us that the brightest minds in today's scientific community are somehow deluded and stifling debate. Since Longnshort is a legend in his own mind, he couldn't be wrong, could he? ;)
