These videos are so helpful. I am researching my family's next move. Nebraska is not an option for us, but the information gleamed from this video offers some hope that perhaps we can organize locally, regionally and have more time to love and experience whatever life is remaining. And whatever life we create. Current world events show that no leaders are taking our climate into consideration. Since the 70's there has been no meaningful support for anything but oil and corn. We have to take adaptation and survival into our own life plans, your informational videos are a first step. I will continue to support your work in the small ways I can. Also, after watching a few of these, Doc, your loving kindness is so visible, and welcomed! I will also continue to point that out to others, here in the comments. 😍 One small way to help is to leave a comment and like/comment on other's. Anyone else here in Central VA?
Many of the states you've covered are ones I visited, briefly or extensively, while full-time RV-ing after I retired. Although I have no personal interest in Nebraska, I'm still happy to hear that their outlook isn't as bad as feared. My only clear memory of my visit in Nebraska was stopping at a shopping center in Omaha, to duck out of rush hour traffic one afternoon. I was delighted to see a beautiful restored carousel there, lending its elegance and charm to an ordinary mall scene. The kids were loving it. Our country is an amazing place, brimming with beauty and surprises. I hope we can draw on a spirit of cooperation to get us through the difficult times ahead.
@MsLeenite seeing a good cluster of potentially strong agricultural areas is so important for other parts of the US like Colorado, where we have decent climate outlooks, but major net importation of food. My only personal experience in Nebraska was at the Omaha zoo- really wonderful exhibits, with lots of space for the savannah animals and a genuine focus on their needs.
@pineywoodsurbanhomestead4988 here's the Michigan NCA5 update! ruclips.net/video/IvgC9uc3F-Q/видео.html This one was made before I moved to 2C language in spring of '24. Too much evidence has come together that we are off the timeline. When I say 2050 in this video, think 2C. 2050 is when the models used to peg we'd be at 2C. I may revise these first few videos in the series when I have the time. We will not get new projection information until at least 2028.
Great report on Nebraska Dr Emily..I was worried about how adoptable Omaha and the surrounding areas are..Like you I'm very happy that they are looking to be a diamond in the rough and have those sustainable farming areas now and into the future..And you are 100% right about the Buffalo..if you've seen that PBS documentary The Buffalo on the parallels of the rise and fall of the Native Americans and how currently both the Native Americans Tribes and the Buffaloes are having a resurgence that continues now and into the future, and those give me hope leading into our shared future and Buffalo is much better for us to eat and if we can expand those herds in a sustainable way with the environment and start lessening our cattle production and our need for those products that will be better for the future and as you say less Farty as well...😂😂
@michaelschiessl8357 I was so happy to see that fortunate band of territory firm up in central Nebraska. And I do follow the work so many tribal nations are doing with buffalo! The resurgence has been beautiful to see. There are so many native kids growing up now with the normalized expectation that buffalo will be on the table, that buffalo will be a part of life! At the Meskwaki Settlement near me they keep a small herd, 45-55 buffalo. They have their act together up at the settlement, great biodiversity work up there. I can't tell you how I would love to see large, free-ranging herds before I die. What a dream that would be. When we consider what's already happened with the buffalo resurgence in the last forty years, it does not seem so impossible.
@tmkauth here's my logic on that- this is a serious topic, important topic. 2C is close enough, I think we have some certainty. I think it's worth studying the 2C info pretty hard because it's more likely than not to lead us the right way. But we can tell now, at 1.5C, our ability to model and predict is already breaking down. This La Nina weirdness this fall is becoming a striking example. Looking towards 3C, I think it's important to accept uncertainty, and that people who are serious should pretty much get into the "lifeboats" in the northern Midwest and the northeast. There are other pockets but 40 to 46 N is the band I would recommend.
Dr. Emily, do you have any take on what the new Trump Administration might do to current climate rediliancy efforts? It is widely known that they don't believe it's an issue, I'm fearing this is one of the major movements that could be severely hampered...
@ph5915 oh for sure- there will be major impacts. I would not assume any more federal money will be devoted to climate adaptation or resiliency. I would not assume that current .gov websites and information sources will stay up. www.americanresiliency.org will remain an effective way to access visualization tools powered by a copy of the publicly available NCA5 datasets. If this administration does what they say they are going to do, they will be dismantling large parts of the federal government, including the EPA. There are cities and states that have put money towards climate adaptation and resilience for well more than a decade. Some of these cities, like Chicago, have actually beefed up their grids pretty well. If you're in a place with decaying infrastructure, you should not assume any federal effort will rescue you. I think that, at best, we will be on our own- so state level and local resilience remains an important area of focus. Many places got a ton of stuff done from 2016-2020, and these places by and large continue to be active, aware, and invested in climate resilience. Some of these states are conservative-leaning. Many of the states that have promising outlooks are investing heavily in climate measures, regardless of political affiliation. Indiana is a stand out example on that front.
@Milhouse77BS I was surprised how concentrated the extreme storm signals were- I also expected more of them along the eastern edge of the state. There are many ways this outlook beat my expectations.
@OurPredicament I'd bet on Nebraska, that's for sure! Worth noting also there's a lot of consistency here from the previous NCAs, which is a good sign of overall stability.
@MrBlandUsername I never mean to imply that 2C is some final destination. There are big changes between where we are now and 2C in many areas- and some places where I'd advocate getting out now.

@RieCherie, thank you so much for your kind words
Adding Millet to my list, thank you!
@koicaine1230 millet is powerful stuff! Tastes pretty good too imho
Saved the best for last.
@jennifernebraska9728 I sure did! So happy for you all

Thank you so much for all the work you do. I'm really looking forward to the michigan update!

I don't think 2C outlooks are enough, 3C ones may need to be thoroughly investigated for a more long term outlook.

Been waiting for this. Without watching, I’d guess hooter and drier. Probably more storms in the eastern part of the state.

Nebraska!

2C? lol we are going to blow through 2C with trump.
