Climate scientists list the cities that will be the best

to live in when Climate Change effects the US.
https://amp.businessinsider.com/where-to-live-to-avoid-natural-disaster-climatologists-2018-8
"To figure out what areas are least vulnerable to natural disaster in the future, we asked 11 climatologists where they would consider living to avoid climate change. All were quick to note that no area is entirely safe, but a few cities could be less vulnerable than most.
Scientists are still working to define the relationship between climate change and natural disasters. In the last ten to 15 years, they have found evidence of the mounting influence of climate change on major events like heat waves, droughts, and heavy rains."

The following cities were recommended by climatologists as some of the least vulnerable to disaster.
Tulsa, Boulder, San Diego, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Sacramento, Charlotte, Portland and Pittsburgh. Also, anywhere but Hawaii.

If you're a believer in climate change having that drastic of an effect in our lifetime, then you might also want to keep in mind that an enormous earthquake could potentially rock the West Coast anytime, according to many seismologists. So that would make Portland and San Diego vulnerable.

Tulsa is prone to tornadoes. So you might want to scratch that one off the list.

Boulder, on the other hand, is in a state with legalized marijuana, so that might be your best bet to forget all your worldly troubles.
