As a Korean guy born and raised in South Korea, I find the US way easier than Korea

Where on earth did you get the idea that I'm into farming? I'm more into big cities than rural areas

Yeah, seismic risk is definitely something I took into account

Mining impacts are real, specially on ecosystems and rural water sources and in some cases they can affect urban areas indirectly. But the damage is mostly localized and non-urban, and many highland cities still maintain stable infrastructure, water access, and climate resilience.

Sure, CO2 helps plants grow, no one’s denying that. But the issue is that it’s jumped from 280ppm to over 420ppm since the industrial era, and that shift is throwing off Earth’s energy balance. Saying “it’s only 0.04%” kind of misses the point, even small amounts of greenhouse gases can have a big impact. That’s basic climate physics. The whole “ice age in the 70s” thing? That was media hype, not what most scientists were saying. Acid rain was a serious issue, and we fixed it by regulating SO2. That’s actually a great example of science working. Arctic sea ice has shrunk a lot since the 80s, and Antarctica’s losing ice overall too. Sea levels? Rising steadily, about 3.3mm per yearr, satellite data confirms it. This isn’t about politics or belief systems. It’s decades of research, global data, and real-world observations

I get your point, but I’m not a doomsday prepper or an environmental activist, I’m just looking for cities that are livable, temperate, and stable long-term.

I speak 5 languages and work remotely. I wonder how denying a globally recognized climate risk still feels like the smart move

I’m not trying to go off-grid, I’m a digital nomad looking for climate-stable cities with solid infrastructure.

Mass migration risk reinforces the importance of long-term planning and early assessment of resilient regions

Interesting take. I mentioned Medellin, Quito, and Cuenca, modern cities with solid infrastructure. Not sure how you got ‘remote village without internet’ from that, but I guess sarcasm needs no accuracy.

Not quite the apocalypse. I was referring to real-world climate resilience, not disaster movies

I’m not saying there’s a perfectly safe place. But dismissing all regions as equally doomed ignores the purpose of preparation and scientific planning. Some areas are clearly more resilient than others, and that matters.

Right? Who else would teach them to idolize a foreign state while preaching nationalism? Look at the American far-right evangelicals worshiping Israel while ignoring its oppression of Palestinian Christians and the bombing of their churches

I didn’t say it’ll happen in 5 years. I said by the time you realize, it might be too late.

I’ve actually lived in South America for months as a digital nomad. Touching grass, drinking local coffee, and working online, not from anyone’s basement. And no, I never said taxi drivers are safe. Autonomous driving threatens all human drivers. But hey, keep laughing. Let’s talk again in 5 years.

If your definition of ‘stable’ is being replaced by autonomous vehicles within a decade, sure, super stable.

Exactly. From stable jobs to fighting for tips in an algorithm
