Yea I think it's crazy they aren't trying to curb the amount of people moving out there. Once the ice packs melt the entire country is gonna be in some shit because that's where 70% of our drinking water come from and all the water from the mid west.

Then you have the problem on the other end with the coastal cities. If the ice caps melt global sea level will rise and even the coastal cities will be in trouble and that's where most of the population lives.So really where do you buy real estate.
