Yellowstone isn't a real concern to any legit scientist. It got some buzz in the ill-informed media, but no legit scientist believes it is anything other than a hot hole in ground that is mostly dangerous to those who fall into one of the vents. Explosive Yellowstone events are in the past.

As far as relocating ahead of climate change migration... yep. Am on the same page here.

Working with another couple to find the right piece of land for the four of us to construct two "vacation homes" ... which will also be our fallback positions, if things go to shit. Fortunately, here in the Pacific Northwest we have some seriously righteous land available, that is of no interest to Amazon employees (and their pocketbooks), and are very difficult for your average climate refugee to access.

I have about a 38% belief that in my lifetime, "I got mine, so fuck you" is going to be a required mindset, as people are forced to leave their bioregions due to desertification, and move to the greener bits of land... like where I live. Taking a defensive stance today, to address this potential for tomorrow, is a practical move.
