I was cackling at this part. How could anyone in Texas say that with a straight face after the big ice storm two years ago? The climate is changing everywhere. The idea that you can move away from the climate is simply deluded.

It's not necessarily getting worse everywhere, which I would guess is the point.

My thoughts exactly:

>“By the time I get to bed it’s going to be close to a 24-hour day,” says Frank Croasdale of some of the crazier days he commutes to his physical-therapy practice in Redondo Beach, Calif., from his home in Austin, Texas. Still, the arrangement “is a win-win.”

..."except for the environment of course", I was thinking when reading that.
