Here in the cloud forests of Panama we have not had a drop of rain since November. Driest conditions I have witnessed in 10 years. The old timers remember this having happened a couple times in the past but it is concerning as we watch to the heavens daily hoping for rain.....

Belize is right next door, a little less third world.
I know of folks living in Panama, besides Ibon.
The island of Dominique might present some interesting opportunities. Fairly depressed, hard hit by Hurricane last year many folks left and now Ross University has decided to pull out. I suspect there are buying opportunities there. But it’s for the adventurous.

Here in Brisbane Australia we have just had over 36 days of +30 degrees heat setting a new record. North of us Townsville has been flooded with 1.5 Metres of rain. Some nearby areas have had over 2 M. One town had 500 MM in 12 hours. Water heading north has swollen a river to 60 Km wide. The estimate is over 1/2 million cattle dead. Is this weather or climate?

After the internet gave peakoil a new leash of interest in about 2003-2005, everyone with braincells realised it was a baseless doomer cult, and in fact is a non issue for multiple reasons. Without brainy people leading the plebs, the interest in peakoil has waned.

Now, that really is a brainless comment. Peakoil is much more of a danger now than in 05. Simply because we ie, the developed economies have done precious little to prepare for it. We had every reason to do so which includes climate change. But we didn't. So now the end of cheap oil will have catacylsmic repurcussions given we are so unprepared. People are clueless unless they inform themselves. Because the price of oil and gas are reasonable currently, people assume all is okay. They are dead wrong.
