[quote=Anonymous]Thinking about climate change and the future of our lives contending with extreme temperatures and weather events. If things continue in this direction, many parts of the world would become uninhabitable, at least for part of the time, and those with the resources to do so would stay indoors in a climate-controlled environment, insulated from all the elements. Kind of like how they do in Dubai.

But could you, personally, be satisfied living this way? Or in some futuristic space existence like the movie WALL-E, if we want to pull this to its logical conclusion.

I don’t know how common my mindset is, but I’m wired to be outdoors as much as possible. When I WFH, for example, I’m outside on the patio so long as the temperature is tolerable. What keeps me pushing through the worst of the workday is the promise of a weekend or a vacation on the beach, in the mountains, on the river, or hiking with the dogs. At the very least, my mental health would suffer in a major way if I had no outdoor access. I know the human species is very adaptable but I really don’t want to adapt to that kind of life, it sounds like hell. [/quote]
