The area is rabidly reactionary and hostile to the idea of climate change. There is a stark divide between the classes here, and the poor are incredibly uneducated, religious, and angry, and thus, easy for reactionary forces to manipulate.
Little to no change has been taken or is planned. This is made worse because of the major economic drivers in the area other then farming are natural gas fracking, coal mining, chemical manufacturing, and shale oil extraction. These industries control the local legislative bodies and they have sat on their hands.
Crop yields are lower, the summer months are near unlivable, as it is 35-42c from nearly late April to mid September. It used to be that we would get a maybe a few hot weeks (roughly 35c) in July and August at best, but it has gotten exponentially worse. This has exacerbated droughts, and farmers are forced to drain more and more groundwater. People are also forced to pump more AC in order to simply not die of heatstroke, as many of the houses have been built for decades to be highly insulated against the harsh and long winters that no longer exist.
Its gotten so bad that even a few of the far-right reactionaries have started mumbling about how "There isn't as much snow nowadays as when I was a kid". But I fear they will not wake up soon enough.
We are diving head-first into catastrophe.
Where is this?
You want me to dox myself? Really? Did you really just ask someone for identifiable information in an online forum?
Did you think that question through at all? Even if I told you the country, then the region, and precise area I’m talking about would be fairly easy to deduce. Last thing I need is literal identifying information linked to my account.
You want my age, profession, and eye colour too?
lol, you're full of shit, aren't you? None of the details you wrote fit anywhere except maybe Siberia.
Full fedposter. There’s no way this is allowed right? Should I send my home address to the admins as well?
They're clearly not in the US so I doubt the FBI would be interested.
Could be Alberta...
I would never willingly live Alberta. Sorry. That’s to hard of a sell even for me.
Good guess though!
British Columbia?
Could you please stop guessing if that’s alright? I humored a few jokes earlier like the Alberta one, but I genuinely am very conscious about my location being attached to this account and doxxing myself. I consider it pretty dangerous, and an unnecessary risk.
BC is a nice place though from my experience, much better then Alberta, but sadly 98% of it is centered in Vancouver and Victoria. Would be a nice city if a 500sq ft bungalow wasn’t 1.5 million dollars.
My travels have taken me to several of the smaller communities and fishing towns along the coast. Those were very interesting places, and I enjoyed my time there. Port Hardy, Kyuquot, Sullivan Bay, Port Mcneill, Port Alice; all fun experiences.
So I ironically have experience with BC, but I would not really want to talk about where I live, or even the general area in the world.
Ok Ill shut up, but pls cut your comments details down... I'm sorry man
They are to vague to give many details about who I am.
The guy had a lot of guesses and each one was wrong.
Nope, that's not 150km from the ocean
I never said the port was on the ocean dipshit. Many major rivers, bays, harbors, and deltas are deep enough to accommodate port facilities.
You also seem to have forgotten about the existence of greenhouse farming. Which is another funny one.
You’re fucking deranged. Want my home address while your at it?
