seasonal affective depression… if you are going to move somewhere remote, move into a desert or rainforest (i.e. near the equator), not places like Canada, Alaska, Siberia, or indeed Greenland
Climate change doesn’t change how much the sun shines. Where I live it has been getting noticeably warmer during my lifetime especially in the colder months, but this hasn’t changed that it’s dark in those months.
Right, but in 20 years, the dark places will be hot in the summer, but the sunny places will be dangerous much of the year.
Arizona already has real problems, water, asphalt melting or burning people, more heat stroke.
SAD sucks, but if you can get outside most days and treat it with meds if needed, moving away from desert is gone be necessary in the not too distant future.
I’m just saying that not everyone is affected by it. I’d say most people are just fine. For example, in Finland that rate is 10–30% who get some symptoms without the depression. For the SAD overall, I found this
In Greenland, the northernmost territory of North America, the frequency of SAD has been found to vary from 6.9 to 11.5%, and highest in northern municipalities
So you could move to Greenland and be totally fine. Though I guess where you are coming from can affect it.

At least not for another 20 years or so anyway.

Could be that you’re just one of the people who aren’t affected by it.
