Has anyone on here been re-thinking their long term plans whether it’s retirement or having kids?
That really depends on the country.I can understand the kid aspect (although really most countries need new kids) but why retirement out of interest?
For the people alive today they'll only feel very mild impacts.

Watched a PBS Frontline 3-part series on the Power of Big Oil. It's fascinating how the same narratives and figures pop up over and over again on all these issues. Again you have the Koch brothers doing their shenanigans to oppose climate change policies. Again you have the invented "socialism" narrative on green policies and how they don't align with "American values and freedom".
The parts on the shale revolution are very interesting. Wasn't aware of how hurricane Katrina also played a role in fuelling it (no pun intended).

That’s kind of what I was thinking about. Current plans will have us in Spain. Not that I like the summers in southern Spain so maybe Galicia all year round, or Ireland or ???Exactly right. Say, if you live in Northern Europe and plan to retire somewhere in Southern Europe you (as an old person in particular) are going to be in for some very uncomfortable summers with potentially dangerous temperatures. We're already seeing it.
