Climate Boomtowns? How Climate Migration Will Redraw the Demographic Map of America

Within decades, climate change will displace millions of Americans from their homes and communities. Experts agree that extreme weather and heat will make entire regions of the country inhospitable — or, at the very least, far less attractive places to live.

Questions raised by projected migratory patterns are as complex as they are urgent: Which places will lose population, and which places will see influxes of climate migrants? How can “receiver cities” grow in ways that take seriously the fundamental lessons of the climate crisis? And what infrastructure must be in place to support the proactive and equitable transplant of large swaths of the country’s population?

In short, the authors asks, “What will it take to create true climate havens?”

Anyone making long term predictions on a global phenomenom and how it will affect a specific local area is just selling you something.
