    Given the rising tide of evidence to support climate change, can anybody suggest a safe place to emigrate to in order to give the best possible chance for any future grandchildren etc..? This is presuming Ireland gets covered in ice when the gulf stream gets cut off :(

    Actually,

    I read this weekend that James Lovelock thinks that the earth is going to get considerably warmer and that the only people that would survive would be above the ARctic circle where the temperature would be tolerable. But then he also said that ourselves and Britain would be ok as the North Altlantic Drift would have closed down decreasing our temperature. but at this stage I think it's a matter of you takes your chances. . .

    So with the global warming making us hotter and the North Atlantic Drift closing down making us colder, Northern Europe could be in the clear. Add that to the local interest in renewable energy and no major tectonic action going on then maybe here is just fine afterall :o . Then again a lot of Northern Europe is fairly low lying and will probably disappear when the seas rise :( . That moon idea is starting to make sense.

    Wherever it is that turns out to be the best place to live, and the way travel/ living in different countries will be even easier for future generations, you can be assured that your grandchildren will not be the only ones trying to get to that country. I'd say it will look like one of those Antarctic islands with millions of penguins on it after a while.

    Face it, there are just about too many people on the planet even now, so future generations are going to have a harder time coping with the big issues than we are (energy resource wars, even larger immigration etc).
