Will Climate Change Spell The End of RTW Motorcycle Travel?
As the obvious affects of world wide climate change continue to worsen, how will travelers cope?
With possible massive forced migration, food and water shortages and general unstable govts., how will a motorcycle traveler deal with such things?
Many think "Climate Changes" will only mean higher temps. But science (and reality) now tell us it's Everything that is affected: Record high temps world wide, but Colder temps as well.
Higher winds, longer, more severe droughts followed by record setting floods. More Hurricanes/Tornadoes than ever before and in places that never have had them.
The daily news tells the story best. We see it everywhere round the world from Antarctica to India.
Can motorcycle folk survive and tread there way through? How much more dangerous will MC travel become? Where can we go that might be "safe"?
How much time have we got?
Do we care? Are we just going to ride the Bomb down to oblivion like Slim Picken's did in Dr. Strangelove? (Cowboy Slim "rides" an A-bomb down from his B-52 ... and starts the end of the world)
Recent topics here attempt to describe "Adventure travel". Seems to me as Climate Change truly takes hold travel may become an impossible adventure.
