If the world ends it ends
If it doesn't shit continues as normal

Who gives a ****, we're screwed if it does, we're fine if it doesn't

Why read into it any further than that?

reminds me of an ex dairy farmer I know.
he used to research seasonal patterns and urban development and made investments.
every 11 years roughly, there would be a drought, half way between, there would be 4 years of solid productivity. He is now retired a multi millionaire because he took the time to learn what was comming.
I could site a few farmers that just focused on what was infront of them, and retired broke with a half million dollar debt.
a drastic climate shift means re structuring everything to adapt to it. This will mean billions of dollars being spent on alternatives to existing technology.
My interest is in what adaptations will be required, and investing accordingly.
I care, but not for the reasons assumed lol.

Now i think about it, knowing what was to come has already given me a winner. When I was purchasing land, I kept in mind the increase in rainfall, the rising sea levels and temperature increase and cyclone intensity increase.
Last wet season we had a record flood event, almost the entire area was flooded, houses lost and my neighbours all ended up under a foot of water. The dam overflowed, and any properties in its path were destroyed. My block was untouched :P
Now the property is double what i paid for it, and in an area which is predicted to have minimal temperature increase, solid rainfall and is outside the main cyclone zone.
Its also near to where a new town is being built, creating a solid ecconomy for the area.
What im getting at is, if you pay attention to the environment, there is always a silver lining
And yes, there is small pockets of land which will be vertually uneffected, as can be found if you research into historic CSIRO data on climate fluctuations.

But its a known fact that weather pattern and the world and solar system in general is just one big cycle and there is some sort of pattern in climate. hence the saying what gos around comes around,its just whether you can predict of when the cycle will come back around give or take a few years, and of course with enough study you will get some kind of idea how it all works.but to prepare for certain inevitable catastrophes i think is inaproprate considering we havent got much power in changing it and if we have it should start from world leaders who control just about everything thats stuffing up this planet and people will and should follow it through ( in a perfect world).

Which translates to "I purchased land on the top of a hill"?

I agree.

I dont see a downside.. Ocean rises - i get closer to beachfront, it gets hotter - chicks wear less. Barra will be on the chop all year round too! Win win win. :drinks2:
