It raining again. Great to have the rain and snow. I feel bad that houses are destroyed by mudslides and caving riverbanks. Just read that hurricane may have an impact much further inland. If things get really awful can we go to another world? In our solar system there doesn’t seem to be habitable alternative. Europa may have liquid water under the icy surface but is probably not a good real estate investment, Pluto is too far away for effective use of solar panels. Could we find a suitable exoplanet? Just read about a red dwarf star that has a Jupiter sized planet orbiting very near it. Another unlikely refuge.
What about Mars? As a child I used to think Mars was flat and had canals. That was a long long time ago. And a much longer time ago Mars had water? Where did it go. Were its inhabitants over using it with unwise nonnative plants and gigantic lawns? Should they have invested much more into the development of a strong and lasting gravitational field? Did they consider the developing Earth near them? Now what about our sister planet Venus? It’s closer in size to Earth and was thought to be more welcoming to life than Mars. Was it populated with those who thought climate change only a political stance? It would require pressurized and air-conditioning dwellings beyond our abilities. Perhaps we should invest wisely on our dear old Earth,
