Would you uproot your life, leaving behind your family, your job etc if you dont like the weather in a country.

(Obviously theres always more than one advantage of moving someplace but to build a life somewhere, would weather be top 3 factors in choosing where to live).

It's a great reason. Especially with climate change.

I met someone the other day that said they moved from Portland to Cincinnati because of their climate change concerns.

Over the next 50 years, we're going to see MILLIONS of people in the U.S. moving for the same reasons.

moreso due to heat and violent weather patterns like hurricanes imho. rising seas are coming, but the heat's going to kill a lot of folks before.
