Hunkering Down

As the east coast hunkers down for Hurricane Sandy and winds and flooding and whatever else happens there. As the west coast sort of picks through the fact that a 7.7 earthquake has occurred off the coast of British Columbia and a large Tsunami has been averted for now it might be important to note that "hunkering down" is what a lot of educated people are doing in regard to life on earth right now.

The reason for a "hunkering down" attitude is many fold. The first reason likely is more population than earth can support realistically with present de facto food and clean water delivery systems presently on earth. 2nd, Global Climate Change which likely at this point has many different causes from increased Carbon dioxide to CFC's which destroy the ozone layer in the atmosphere, to a change in the magnetosphere which changes the weather ongoing which could be caused by a variety of things including polar shift, or  a GeoMagnetic excursion that we may be on the next 2000 years or more "The Solar Flare Geomagnetic Excursion Snafu" which is evidenced by the moving poles (the magnetic north pole is now moving 40 miles per year). And to add to this the solar maximum we have entered into which now makes 2012 much more interesting than any of us actually wanted it to be and also means that it will stay this interesting or more until at the very least 2014 or 2015.

So, as butterflies only seen in the southern parts of the U.S. now have taken residence up into New England and New England butterflies now have taken residence up in Canada, how long will it be before some Americans start taking up residence more in Canada as the climate changes further and all creatures that can will either gain altitude or move further north or both to survive that live from the equator north already?
