In Florida they already call them 'snowbirds'. Early sightings are reported as we post now.

#3 The article seems to be saying that the building of the three gorges dam (which displaced 1.25M people) was caused by global warming and anytime anyone moves (if only across the street by choice) it's due to climate change...

'So be sure to send us plenty of money.'

#6 In western Alaska, several villages are right on the coast, in lowlands only a few feet above sea level. Get a low in the Bering Sea and you have a storm surge and a flood. One example is the village of Kipnuk. Look it up on Google Earth. Not a safe place in the best of times.

We have a place at the 1700 ft level. When Global Warming hits, we will have a nice little beachfront place on a fjord. Every disaster is a new opportunity.

#7 Awful hot and dry this summer, but when the axis shift happens Texas is going to become the north pole, so I'll be all right.
