Sure, but long-term climate risks definitely factored into my family’s most recent move to a new city.

Previously, we lived somewhere it was too cold to go out in winter (–50°C during a polar vortex) and too smoky to go out in the summer, from the constant bushfires and forest fires. And also had massive hail storm risks, drought/water insecurity, and if you lived closer to the river, flooding.

Now, we live somewhere where we only really face mild water insecurity from aquifer depletion. This close to the Pacific, we rarely get significant fire smoke, even. The Big One earthquake would suck if it happens in our lifetime, but that’s mostly unrelated to anthropogenic climate change (the tsunami would be higher from water levels rising.)

So, sure, yeah. We’re all affected by climate change. But the effects are definitely not equally dispersed.

I recall hearing a story about law enforcement identifying an otherwise-anonymous phone by other phones that pinged the same cell towers at the same times. Essentially, the person had two phones on them, so they were able to uniquely identify the individual based on the shared location history of the two devices.

So there’s that, too, assuming my memory isn’t just some CSI bullshit. (It seems reasonable that this attack vector is technologically possible, though, and it may not matter if it’s legal if the identification technique isn’t used as evidence in court.)

To add to the other suggestion, you could set your default ringtone to silence, then set a custom ringtone for “priority contacts” so they can actually ring you.
