  • Wildfire season becomes a thing on the East Coast as Canadian forests burn. People start spending more time indoors in the summer because of it.

    The bad time of year shifts from winter to summer as snow becomes rarer and heat waves become common.

    Coastal cities near me either harden their coasts or design their cities to not flood. Major tunnels are retrofitted to allow for saltwater intrusion with minimal damage.

    More multigenerational homes form as retirees in Florida become climate refugees as several Florida metro areas collapse due to the increased number of hurricanes. They don’t call themselves refugees, though.

    Several state parks form in the region, created as the state buys out entire communities to intentionally create new freshwater wetlands.

    Areas that don’t flood see rapid densification as property values skyrocket and single family homes are pushed into apartment buildings like the urbanization of cities in the 19th century.












  • If Ukraine can get invaded by countries for a strategic interest, then neutrality isn’t a viable option for defense for Ukraine. You could even argue that Finlandization isn’t even a viable option any more for Ukraine since given that accepting being in Russia’s sphere of influence doesn’t provide some diminished form of territorial sovereignty.

    And Russia may feel threatened by Western encroachment into areas controlled by the former Soviet Union, but those peoples no longer under Soviet/Russian control appear to taking major steps as sovereign entities to resist Russian reestablishment of its former sphere of influence. If anything, increased Russian belligerence has caused formerly neutral countries to reject neutrality as neutrality no longer protects countries from being invaded due to strategic interest.
