Buy some property next to or on the great lakes, like in Michigan's upper peninsula. Hawaii and many, many coastal areas of the US will be underwater in the coming decades as oceans rise. A lot of climate crisis aware folks in the know are saying the great lakes will geographically be one of the best places to ride out the oncoming catastrophe--it's well enough inland yet also near a huge source of fresh water. It's also a gorgeous place that isn't a total tourist trap.

The Great Lakes are utterly miserable for half the year. And that's for people who are USED to living near the Great Lakes. Bobody is going to be "underwater" during their own lifetimes for living in Hawaii.

Wrong, by 2030 there will be a lot less coastal area habitable in Hawaii: https://climate.hawaii.gov/hi-facts/sea-level-rise/

If you think the great lake region is too cold or wintery, well I got some bad and/or good news about what global warming is doing... it's not going to be frigid winters there for much longer.

There's this atmospheric event. It's called a hurricane. They hit Hawaii all the time. If these homes are not getting inundated with some of the storms that have hit the islands, they aren't going to get inundated any time soon by mere sea level rise. And you can always raise homes.
