[TheSomeBody]

hi, i live in israel and i am starting to see that this place might no be stable because of global warming, right now we dont experiece any of the global warming stuff (just a little warmer in summer, not a big deal) but i started to read more about it and i am pretty afraid for my future and thinking to move to colder places like europe or canada (both gonna be easy to migrate) , the data really confutsing, will the global warming stuff gonna happend in my life time or i should not be worry? (im 21) , in life time even 50 years from now , if i want to migrate i need to start planning and integrating at t young age

Yes I'd really recommend you move to a more stable colder climate, not to mention all the other safety and economic perks. Israel is a decently developed country but it's in the middle of an area that is going to get strained heavily from impeding global warming (there is no stopping it, period).

The region and those around it are going to experience ever increasing migratory waves in the coming years that will make the Syrian refugee crisis look like nothing. People don't realize a lot of those refugees were forced to flee their country because of lack of basic infrastructure caused not just by civil unrest but strains on water and food resources from climate change.

Some places in the world and specifically in that area are already approaching unlivable temperatures in the spring/summer seasons which can last ip to more than half the year. And the heat is accelerating not steadily going up.

Look at Basra, Iraq for example. https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/iraq/basra/ext

Average temperatures approach and break nearly 50C.

You're young and don't have a family of your own yet I'm assuming, so you have time. I'd really recommend saving up some money right now and working on your English, then when the time is right get the hell of there.

30-40 years from now most of that region won't be habitable unless you're staying inside for 95% of your waking hours. Not really much of a life to live without being able to go outside.

50c is livable ... you just need a nice hat. in israel water isnt a problem because of desalination. stuff that i am more afriad is raising water level (more than 2-3 meters) a real heat wave like 60c or other stuff (maybe a great destabilization in the reagion that israel wont be capable to respond to ).
btw where you think will be the best place to migrate? canada or somewhere in europe? i am kinda afraid from tha winter, we had this year a "long" winter (3 month instead of 2) and this was pretty hard for me /:.

I live in Las Vegas. It's 115 degrees outside.

You'll live.

My house is so energy-efficient I can't even tell how hot it is unless I walk outside.

Stop making excuses and get on with building the life you want.

Of course climate change is a real and serious issue, but at the personal level it will only be small rise in temperature over the next 50 years. The problems of climate change are more collective, or it will impact you if you live in a flood zone.

As an Israeli I think global warming is the least of our problems

But yeah if you think you can't handle the climate then move somewhere else that's colder.
