How climate changes where people live
In the U.S. alone, 162 million people will experience a worse quality of life due to the changing climate within the next 30 years. Rising sea levels stand to displace 13 million Americans in the long run while wildfires and other risks are likely to displace millions more. With 3.2 million American climate migrants to-date, it’s time to start thinking about what our country’s future might look like.
Even these statistics may be vast underestimates because nailing down someone’s exact reason for moving is harder than it may seem. So, how do we determine what factors influence people’s decisions to move? Why is climate migration about more than beating the heat? What history brought us here and where are we headed? This week’s episode with investigative journalist and author Abrahm Lustgarten will answer these questions and more.

Customer Reviews
Incredibly important, and incredibly impactful!
It’s obvious James puts extraordinary effort in covering salient topics and finding guests that are authentic and truly care about being a positive force in this world - the insights they bring to bear are still mind-blowing every. single. time.
Unbelievable
These people come across as uneducated and ill informed. Quite predictable commentary as they leverage natural disasters to further their own personal political opinions.
Highly recommend this podcast!
Great podcast! Climate Now does an excellent job of explaining complex climate issues in a way that inspires action at every level. If we know more, we can do more. Climate Now is really informative on how we can all play a part in protecting our planet.
