People are more focused on running from their problems then solving them “safe” areas will quickly be populated and new problems will rise from that. Climate change needs to be confronted.
@Splint Meow But it's NOT overpopulation, it's the proper and humane allocation of resources. I don't produce NEARLY as much of a carbon footprint as a billionaire does with their yachts, 5000 square feet mansions, plus their two or three other homes, their cars, their jets etc, yet I'm being BLAMED for my single use plastics? I can't AFFORD greener options.
@@zoppp621 resigning yourself to loss is easy if it means people think can just keep on living the way they always have.

Should be confronted yes but how you convince the ones in power who aren’t capable of a normal conversation or even try to at least pretend to have an idea what’s science -___-
@@pacmonkruz9846 that’s the hard part, the best leaders are people who don’t want to lead, so they often don’t end up in power unless they have to be (remind you of some people?).

I ran away from my home state of Wisconsin to escape the frigid winters…went to arizona….ten years later I came back home because I hated the heat…I just had the most mild winter of my life in Wisconsin, I don’t think it ever went below zero and i only had to shovel a few times…it was wonderful and scary as hell…it was not the winter I remember growing up and I worry about the changes to come and it makes me so profoundly sad
I'm only 21 from Minnesota and this past years winter was unlike any other. I remember it normally would start snowing in October/November and stay snowy until around March or April, but this past year it snowed in November and all that snow melted and in December we were having temperatures in the 50s and almost to the 60s! Instead of snow it was raining and from December 15th-17th we had thunderstorms with hurricane level winds (75 mph+) and the first ever recorded December tornado in history, the latest recorded tornado previously was on November 17th.
My son just bought a property in northern Wisconsin on a lake, freshwater, fish to eat, etc. It would be a paradise if not for the mosquitoes. Still it is a nice getaway from Denver.
Weather is cyclical .. I don’t believe any of this global warming .. it was very warm in the Middle Ages compared to our weather today in the northern parts of Europe .. that’s why the population grew ..
Been in Michigan most of my life. Bought a 10 acre farm that has a 1 acre pond, underground water, and is on a pretty large hill. I feel pretty safe from climate change out here. Our goal this year is to get stable food production from our land going.
Lived in Michigan all my life. I have also traveled all over the US early on. While I loved traveling and liked many of the places I visited, I always loved coming home. Now I just vacation around Michigan. There are so many placed to go and see once you leave the Detroit area that are just so wonderful. Most people I have talked to here on the east side of the state have never been to the west side of the state or to the UP. Hell most have never been north of I-69. Right now the wife and I are looking in to moving further north with lots of land.
I came across this video on July 12, 2023. My husband and I are trying to figure out where to retire. We are from the New England area but have lived in many states. Most recently Washington State and now in Texas. The irony is, just 2 days ago Lamoille County Vermont suffered from severe flooding causing historic rainfall to wash out roadways and bridges in the region. Over 7 inches of rain in less than 24 hours. Really no place is free from severe weather events. 😢
The issue with Vermont is its narrow valleys. The problem it poses is not being meaningfully addressed even though we experienced this already with Tropical Storm Irene. I don’t have the ability to flee at this time myself, but I think that you want a hilly, but not mountainous, terrain and a location well inland with ample access to freshwater. I think that Michigan near the Great Lakes will escape the worst of the flooding, yet will have plenty of water and the temperatures should remain moderate for a while. We can only mitigate risk though. No place will be safe from the degradation of our quality of life. I already see so many fewer butterflies and dragonflies, etc.
@@janepappas1032 In the 80's you couldn't drive 20 minutes around here without a bug-splattered windshield. Now, I get excited to see bees in my dedicated pollinator garden.
We'd luv you to consider Delta County Michigan. Oh we get weather but short term. Even having the longest Lake Michigan shoreline of any on the Great Lakes little long term flooding. Only problem is enough housing for seniors. 😞
@@janepappas1032 I am in Delta County in Escanaba. I have actually seen a come back of Monarch butterflies, +friendly bees, squirrels rabbits and bats with very few mosquitoes. (bats of course love mosquitoes). I have yet to turn the air conditioner on. It has been a PERFECT summer! Only problem is very cold in the winter.
Amazing that the availability of drinking water wasn't mentioned. Even the scientist who spoke about the preferred temperature range by humans apparently didn't factor water availability in the study. Add to that water availability for agriculture. Aren't you thinking about that? Water doesn't come automatically from the faucet.
The scientist probably will cover that in a later publication. But you sorta have to keep it within 10 pages, or no one will read/quote it, and your career will suffer for it 🙃
I thought the same thing one of my first priorities in assessing where to go was based on availability of water and if it was a suitable place for agriculture
@@MrNicoJac Careers suffer for telling the truth. Climate "scientists" are given funding to lie. They got caught, remember, or are you a CNN viewer? I`ll bet you think dozens of CAT 5 hurricanes have slammed the coasts in the past 30 years and the deadliest tornadoes in history happened in recent decades.
My family moved out to Josephine County, Oregon in 2018, and we bought a 4-acre homestead with great plans. Then the summer drought/fire season rolled around. Our well dried up and we had to buy water to live on the land. Breathing, from the smoke of wildfires, was an issue for my wife and I. The summers of 2019 and 2020 proved that we could not live in the area of Oregon we had settled in. In the late winter/early spring of 2021, we moved to Illinois, less than a mile from Lake Michigan. The winter cold is hard on our arthritis, but survivable and we can breathe.
We nearly did the same to the same area of OR. Backed out at the last minute after seeing how the mountain above the property looked like it was ready to slide and bury the place.
That happened to us in NE Washington, too. Can't sell or get homeowners insurance. Winters here are harsh -19 last night and summers over 100. A new well will cost at least $65k. There is no help, and i am older and in poor health. The neighbors pollute the creek water withdead deer, garbage, sewage, and destroyed my pump pouring diesel into the creek. I complained, even to Olympia, but no one enforces the laws here. Some great country living!
I’m closing in on my retirement and I’d like to move from Minnesota to a warmer climate, but the prices on homes are stupidly ridiculous and Mortgage prices has been skyrocketing on a roll(currently over 7%) do I just invest my spare cash into stock and wait for a housing crash or should I go ahead to buy a home anyways
Nobody knows anything; You need to create your own process, manage risk, and stick to the plan, through thick or thin, While also continuously learning from mistakes and improving.

Hi, fellow MN resident! As a result of climate change, you may find warm weather coming to you! Could end up with milder winters. If you're in north MN, a move to south MN could be all you need! I know the "feel" tells me it's happening. (Still gets cold.) As far the econ, in this moment, home buying is a no-go. High rates, high prices. One of the two need to go.
I lived in Dallas from 1999-2022, then moved back to my hometown, Flint, MI. ,after realizing that it would be in better shape in 20 years than any part of Texas
If it ain’t one thing, it’s another. You may think you’re moving out of danger from one place, only to be confronted with some other thing in the new place. With all the stuff that could happen in a lifetime, I’m amazed and grateful that I’m still here.

Been in Michigan all my life, and wanted to leave for a bit but honestly the way this is going, I want to stay, or at least own land somewhere in the state. Not only are we last in natural disasters but being connected to four massive bodies of freshwater and is fourth in amount of inland lakes is a huge bonus.
Everybody should leave Michigan for Ohio. I will stay here in Michigan and take one for the team. Everybody thinking about coming to Mi, "don't come, don't come," move to Ohio. They will accomodate you, Mi will not. I will stay in this lousy state so the rest of you can leave. I got your back. Lmao! 🇺🇸👍😁✌️☝️

So, you would have been aware of the warnings of a coming 1ce Age that were being made back in the 1970's and early 1980's, right? What did you make of them? Did you believe those predictions? If not, why not?
@@BeachcomberNZ I don't recall that outlier being a part of our thinking. The evidence of warming was straight up happening where I live. Environmental overexploitation, pollution and habitat destruction were taking place around me. There was occasional talk about cooling but between Rachel Carson and a paper called The Greenhouse Effect combined with the rather simple chemistry proposed by Arrhenius warming has always seemed evident.

Only have my direct observation and the discussions my group had regarding the obviously rising temps, water levels and the environmental catastrophes that ended my first 2 careers.

For those who don’t know northern Maine does not have many people living there, it’s heavily forested and half the roads aren’t even paved.. so if you decide to move there keep in mind it could take several hours to days for someone to rescue you if something happens and if you get service. Also both nws radar systems can only go so far so you’re on your own in terms of weather the further north/west you go as well
@@TheEmeraldVortex tbh I really haven’t seen many snakes up north, they do live up there but they aren’t as prevalent as they are in southern Maine. Worst I’ve seen are tiny garter snakes lol
Lol i live in northern maine buddy. 98% roads are paved. Unless youre going to camps on the lake or cutting through a potato field. Cell service is plentiful for verizon, t mobile, us cellular. Not sprint though. We have our own police, hospitals, EMS and life flight services. Ticks actually arent an issue in northern maine. Central and southern maine have them bad though. With a warming climate, i assume they will become an issue for us in the future. Snakes are nonexistant except green grass snakes with no teeth. I would say the biggest issue to safety is the snowstorms and moose. For snowstorms we all have studdes tires and just dont go out if too bad. But this last winter weve barely had any snow. Moose though are an issue. If you hit this beast with your car, good chance you wont survive. Theyre huge. We dont drive fast at night.
As someone who's living in Florida which is the state that will be effected the most, by the oncoming climate apocalypse . I am dying to move out of here as soon as I can.
I thought Vancouver would be a pretty good place to avoid extreme weather events because it's so temperate but we just had a record breaking heat dome followed by a huge atmospheric river that had record breaking rainfall and flooding. I truly think nowhere is safe and predicting where these extreme weather events are going to occur is impossible.
Yep, predicting is probably pretty difficult but I hope that this episode makes people think about the idea of Climate Migration as something that is inevitable eventually. Thanks for watching! We're in Portland and experienced lots of the extremes you mentioned. Did you get flooded during the atmospheric river?
Agreed. I'm in Seattle, but I felt like the whole pacific northwest was probably best area. We also don't have the hurricanes & tornadoes of half the country. We do have earthquakes, but not nearly as often as south of us. Aside from a volcano, we're pretty safe from natural disasters. But we've always had flooding and that's getting worse. I have a niece who thought the thick, orange wildfire smoke of recent summers was normal. No where is "safe". We have to do everything we can to address climate change and we need to do what humans are best at- adapt. It's scary. And it's so much more than the impact on humans.
Yeah even though most metrics have us pretty ok here in the PNW, the wildfire risk in summer is definitely very real. Summer 2020 was a real nasty one here in the Rose City.
With how populated California is I feel like if the big one hits then the Pacific Northwest would get flooded by people. Could get pretty scary. In my opinion the area along the great lakes is probably the safest since fresh water is likely going to be a hard commodity to get in the future
Absolutely we have let Corporate greed dictate our lives & how we handle our Resources..This beautiful planet 🌍 is our only home 🏡.. We have to do whatever we can to transition to a greener lifestyle & we have to hold the politicians we vote for to work for our interests & a healthier planet .. Screw the 1%!!!!!!!!
What are you talking about? Earth has experienced cold periods (informally referred to as “ice ages,” or "glacials") and warm periods (“interglacials”) on roughly 100,000-year cycles for at least the last 1 million years.
I left Alaska (greater Anchorage) to care for my parents. I decided against going back because the weather is so much nicer in Oregon; as the weather heated, Anchorage's winters got more severe (colder, longer, more adverse events), and the summers warmer. Of the < 30 hanging glaciers that used to be visible from the Eagle River house, none remained 5 years ago. Most of these were under 2 miles long in the 1980s, on the north side of the Chugach foothills; by 2014, all were gone. Another interesting side effect was that the politicians being elected seemed more extreme.
The glaciers have been melting for 13,000 years and then started again in the 1800s after building up again destroying many farming towns in Europe with advancing ice. What caused the over 400 feet of sea level rise in the past 13,000 years? It makes me sick that these leftists are deliberately frightening and mentally abusing children and the mentally disabled in their attempts to destroy our country.
Left the southeast for many reasons, but the changing climate was one. I moved to the PNW and have since seen extreme heat waves, wildfires, and serious flooding. I don't think there is a haven, but I do love where I am and there currently is plenty of access to water.
Fires set by BLM and antifa are NOT "wild." Water only goes so far without food. You can thank your hero Biden for the coming hunger and fuel crisis. Maybe you can eat some badgers up there? I`ll be growing vegetables 365 days a year here in the South, hunting, and catching fish.
I've lived in Atlanta, GA for the last 45 years and the last two years have proven to be rainier than any of the proceeding 43 years. Additionally, there is more wind blowing inside the I-285-beltway. In response to the climate change, we've planted a dozen Japanese Maples in our west-facing, front yard & built a screened in porch which is now cooled by those trees. Our west-facing windows are also shaded by the same trees. We've also installed a full-house, stand-by generator, but that's not all we are doing. I'd go on, but it now seems like Atlanta might be the new hot zone & that changes everything.
Having spent most of my life in southeastern Wisconsin, I can say that living near Lake Michigan is great for both recreation and fresh water access. Our winters are milder than they were 30 years ago, we don't have to worry about hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanos, or most other natural disasters, and if need be we can produce our own food. No place is perfect, but I can see the upper Midwest being an attractive destination for those fleeing extreme heat, wildfires, water shortages, and other issues forcing relocation.
@@Decision_Justice The average snowfall is listed at 39 inches a year, but that has dropped significantly in the last 20 years. We got less than 20 in 2017, 2020, and 2023. We only had 6 inches from January to April 2024. And since the average temps are going up, many times it melts within a few days. We can no longer count on a white Christmas.
@@jenniferburns2530 Wow! That's quite the change. It still probably gets extremely cold in the winter where you are, doesn't it? Or are you close enough to Lake Michigan that you don't get quite as cold as those further inland? Do you get Lake Effect snow where you are?
@@Decision_Justice we don't get much extreme cold anymore. When I was a teenager, we would get about 7-10 days of -20F or colder each winter (with wind chills in the -35 or -40 range) but now we rarely get that cold. We still have a few sporadic negative temps, but usually in the single digits and typically only for 1-3 days. Since we are right on Lake Michigan, we do get lake effect snow, which will increase a snowfall a few inches. It still melts fairly quickly, but every 10-20 years we will get a big one that takes a few days to dig out (12-15 inches.) Those are coming less frequently as well. Our last big one was 2011.
I was surprised to see Colorado as a place to go to avoid climate effects. With the kinds of wildfires we've been seeing over the last 15 years, and the likelihood of extreme drought and loss of water, I'm very curious why we were considered a haven.
Same. I was a bit surprised too. I've been hearing from friends and family who live there who notice the air quality from the wildfires or notice less snow in the mountains.
If you look at the chart in the description, it's only certain parts of Colorado. In some parts the heat is gonna increase a fuck ton, in others it's the frequency of wildfires.
I agree. If you look up the Colorado River’s lowering levels and its potential impact to everything around it it doesn’t make it seem like the best location.
I just moved back home to Maine where I was born and raised after living away for almost 20 years in Colorado and North Carolina where I experienced wildfires floods hurricanes and all kinds of crazy stuff. I never really thought of myself as a climate migrant but I am happy to be home.
I recently moved from Texas to Erie, PA. I had never considered moving up here but an opportunity presented itself and I moved. The Texas heat has become unbearable. The temps have been over 100 for several weeks and it is like living in an oven. I love the weather in Erie and the slower lifestyle and less traffic. I don't anticipate ever going back to Texas!
We're planning a move up north from Texas as well. Crazy heat, drought, and now with Texas relegating women to be nothing but brood mares... fuck this, time to leave.
Just because an area is safer from climate change to other areas of the country doesnt mean it is immune from natural events such as flooding. Thats just life. I live in new england and nor’easters are pretty much the worst natural disasters we get here and relatively speaking thats not that bad. Combine that with the fact its inland and that alone makes it safer than the majority of the country.
You may want to look up the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai eruption last year. From NASA's own website. None of the following fits the current narrative, so you don't hear anything about it by design. "The huge amount of water vapor hurled into the atmosphere, as detected by NASA’s Microwave Limb Sounder, could end up temporarily warming Earth’s surface. When the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted on Jan. 15, it sent a tsunami racing around the world and set off a sonic boom that circled the globe twice. The underwater eruption in the South Pacific Ocean also blasted an enormous plume of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere - enough to fill more than 58,000 Olympic-size swimming pools. The sheer amount of water vapor could be enough to temporarily affect Earth’s global average temperature. “We’ve never seen anything like it,” said Luis Millán, an atmospheric scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. He led a new study examining the amount of water vapor that the Tonga volcano injected into the stratosphere, the layer of the atmosphere between about 8 and 33 miles (12 and 53 kilometers) above Earth’s surface. In the study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, Millán and his colleagues estimate that the Tonga eruption sent around 146 teragrams (1 teragram equals a trillion grams) of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere - equal to 10% of the water already present in that atmospheric layer. That’s nearly four times the amount of water vapor that scientists estimate the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines lofted into the stratosphere."
@@notmyname9625 Living near a large creek or small river has always been prone to flooding no mater where you live! One must research the micro environs before just settling in anyone particular area!
After a major flood event in Houston in 2015 (flooded apartment and car...lost almost everything), I moved to Austin. I lived in Houston over 30 years and finally had enough of the floods and hurricanes. I have recently decided to move further west to Colorado. Central Texas has had increasing drought. My small family (son, daughter-in-law and grandbabies) will share a house in Colorado. It may be colder in the winter, but with rising temps, I think this is the best choice.
Houston has ALWAYS had a flooding problem during hurricanes. The droughts we have been facing for the last century was a small amount compared to previous centuries.

The woman that owned the house I lived in for nine years in Eugene, Oregon recently sold it, citing moving herself (and her rental wealth of several houses) further north because we have been having such terrible wildfires here, so I had to move. I finally was accepted into public housing (further north in Salem) after going homeless for three months in transition, because so many people got burned out around the state from those wildfires.

@@jsmariani4180 Last year there were two big fires that burned the entire town of Detroit Lake and almost all of Mill City outside of Salem and two more small towns up the highway from Eugene. Thousands were displaced, so I doubt you have been here the last couple of years.
@@montylc2001 True, a couple were set by arson, but the intensity and size of the fires are due to climate change. There have always been arson fires, but the destruction is due to climate change and stupid forestry practices.
It's so comforting to see the discussion shift from "What will we do to stop climate change?" to "What extraordinary things will people do to survive the inevitable climate change disaster that will occur because we are doing absolutely nothing about it?"
I mean, it can be both. Right? Acknowledge the reality and ask where we go from here. That's our goal. There's a lot we can do, even when we accept that a lot of changes are already locked in.

I moved from Sacramento after 10 years in California to West Virginia, and absolutely did so as a climate migrant. Fires, drought, we even had a tornado my last year there (rare for that area, but less so). I'm a native Appalachian (PA), so the transition back to the mountains has been lovely - certainly less snowy than where I grew up. But other people I've met from CA have had a terrible time. Flooding is a big issue in the region, and even folks on high hills aren't immune (the soil here is "expansive", meaning it wrecks your foundation if you're not careful and you end up with flooded basements at high elevations). Culture shock can also be significant for the unprepared. WV is a beautiful place and I love living here, but it's not for the faint of heart.
The Midwest is the safest place in The USA from climate change, I'm just curious how you manage your finances, there's a reason these states have been seeing mass emigration in recent years, lack of jobs opportunity etc. I do think we'll see places like West Virginia and Detroit being much more popular in recent years due to climate migration and they'll become what they used to be, centres of commerce that people moved to for job opportunity, security & safety. I'm not from nor do I live in The USA but I do know alot about it, because ye love your media 😂. If I moved to The USA it'd most definitely be in a place people don't regard all to highly, (i.e) Alaska, Wyoming, Colorado, Detroit, Seattle, West Virginia etc, due to their future prospects, it'd be a good investment and they tend to have decent accessibility to nature.
I’m not sure if it was “not just bikes” or “climate town” or “oh the urbanity” but there are a few pro bicycling channels. So apparently older cities that were designed pre-car are amazing to live in and the walk ability factor and higher urban density has really good local economy benefits etc etc. But it’s much easier to retrofit a city that is already dense with better public transport etc whereas younger more sprawling cities are too spread out to make cycling feasible or trains and extensive bus routes financially viable. So the video I watched was saying that the old cities in the rust belt up north are actually the best because you could easily modernise them so that urban people don’t actually need cars. Like if you didn’t have to drive and pay for a car & insurance & fuel (and rent a parking spot) because you can easily walk/bike/train to work and shops; maybe rent a car twice a year or catch an uber or delivery service if there’s something unwieldy to transport - well many people would prefer that. Also there are still climate issues with electric cars like rare mineral mining and where your electricity comes from so not needing a car is probably the best way to reduce your own footprint. It’s just a nice coincidence that the cities most able to accommodate this kind of Dutch / Finnish lifeline are also likely to be less affected by climate change. Also people migrating back north might be ok with downsizing into a denser, more energy efficient, housing environment. these arguments for urban density, fewer cars, and more cycle paths / walkability are backed up by a book/channel called strong towns where they realised that tax revenue from downtown subsidises the suburbs and that highway maintenance is not economically feasible. Old neighborhoods where people can walk do very well economically
What about the affects of solar flares and the reduction of the earth's ozone layer on global warming. Humans like to think they can fix everything, but the Sun is the likely exception.
Really good point about the older cities being able to convert to transit and walking . Suburbia on the other hand are basically subdivisions that need cars. I don't think humans will make a conscious decision to stop polluting. Some major environmental disaster or crash must happen first to get them to act differently. It's like we've been brainwashed about cars and material goods.
I spent years living on the Washington coast as a pump station repair mechanic and wastewater treatment plant professional. One of the last projects I worked on was installing tsunami warning sirens in my hometown. After decades of floods, mud and then tsunami concerns, I finally moved inland and upwards in elevation. I have watched asphalt streets undulating like waves on a pond, athletic field lights sway like a drunk frat boy at closing time and decided that I could handle a few more degrees of summer high temps. A good rule of thumb is the further away from the ocean you are, the colder it is in winter and the warmer it is in summer.
good rule of thumb is the further away from the ocean you are, the colder it is in winter and the warmer it is in summer. you must have absolutely no idea what weather like on the east coast of canada and the US in Summer
@@RobertMJohnson Brian is correct. Being near the ocean tempers the climate because ocean temperatures effect rhe coastal land. Marine climate vs continental climate.
Yes, and so dry and hot summers, like where I am in the southern interior of British Columbia. Summers are increasingly hotter (more wildfires!), and winter is less brutally cold.
I've been living in California for the last 8 years, and I am moving with my wife and baby this fall back to Maine where I grew up. There are a lot of reasons I'm moving. Climate is one of the big reasons. It's too hot for us to enjoy ourselves outside. We want a house, but the risk of fire is alarming. The other reasons are: way too crowded (I live in Orange County), the median home price is $1 million and good luck saving for that being the breadwinner, and we'd like another season besides year long summer. Just waiting for the apartment lease to end! Luckily with remote work and being in the web development field, I'm able to work from anywhere.
I grew up in O.C. it's no fun there anymore. I moved to desert but I'm thinking of moving more up into mountains because it is too friggin windy and hot!!!! Good luck in Maine. Stay away from coast tho cuz oceans are rising.
I moved from Oahu, HI in 2005 to get married and support my hubby in his new job in D.C. After he finally retired in 2017 we came back home to Hawaii. The amount of erosion along all the coast lines was shocking. The folks who are trying to stay in their area in Miami need to accept that the water levels rising are absolutely going to continue and they need to make adjustments and relocate more inland. Here it's has only continued to eat the shore lines. Many beach front property owners have put their homes on the market. Much Aloha!
I moved to the DC area (northern Virginia) in 2009 and so far it seems like moderately safe area according to the climate change risk maps. Might be a good area to remain for the foreseeable future. Hawaii wasn't part of the PBS climate risk presentation. How is it there assuming you stay away from the cost. Cost of living is pretty high there isn't it? Northern Virginia cost of living is pretty high also, but I managed to get a home out west from DC for a decent price (fixer upper).
We've spent over two decades building a life in California...and are now in the process of planning our relocation to Western NY. The smoke every year has just gotten to be too much.

I moved back to Western New York last year after living in Northern Nevada for 4 years and each year the smoke from the fires was getting worse until in 2021 they had to evacuate South Lake Tahoe region. I still love the area and hope to return for long visits, but the consistency of clean air and reliable weather in the Great Lakes region is very desirable right now.

@@ShawnJonesHellion California pine forests are designed to burn owing to warm moist winters followed by desert like summers often featuring hot dry Santa Ana winds. Left on their own, these forests succumb to lightning strike and burn gloriously wherever the winds take them until they run out of fuel, most often when encountering the bare borders of some previous fire doing likewise. Nature could give a hoot. Into this order steps man who stupidly builds communities in the midst of these volatile pine forests to begin a multi generational program of fire suppression as the fuel loads build. To add to the insanity, they string the whole affair up with high tension lines and transformers and wait for either a tree to fall over a high tension line or a transformer to explode under excessive load for a truly marvelous 4th of July fireworks display tossing their flaming bits far and wide. If that isn't enough they actually let these ignorant people have matches in these communities too. These grand conflagrations have nothing to do with "climate change" for the very logical reason that the climates of California have not changed at all over its entire recorded human history. Of course everything from vaginal warts to bunions are due to "climate change" these days owing to the -public- government education's mission of turning a once reasonable clever population into armies of brain dead zombies.
Climate change is just one of the reasons I moved north; I wanted to get out of a city that felt like it was getting hotter every year and had increasing drought conditions. I can handle colder temperatures just by bundling up, but there’s a limit on how many layers I can doff whet it gets too hot.
You do realized that the difference in temperature from 300 years ago is only 1 degree? Humans can not detect that change, let alone in one life time. It felt hotter because you believed it was hotter.
@@roberthicks1612 Humans can't detect that change but Robert Hicks remembers lookin at his old thermometer back in days before America. That's right scientists aren't sure about climate BUT OLDDDD ROBERT HICKS memebers, it wasn't so different back in the days before cities, 300 years ago when Robert Hicks was there. In fact, everyone, save your time, don't watch the video, just ask old Robert Hicks anything. Guy's got a brain as big and beautiful as my right nut
@@roberthicks1612 Global warming isn't even across the Earth. The average surface air temperature rose 1.2°C so far, but it is including that above the ocean, where the high specific heat of water dramatically slows down the change in temperature. On land, it acrually rose about 2°C average already. And some places on land have already risen 7°C already, so it is definitely detectable.
@@00crashtest According to the alarmist, the vast majority of the warming is occurring at the poles. The equator is barely changing. I would love to see you prove that some where near the equator rose 7°c when the average since the early 1600's was only 1.8. IF you are seeing a 7°c change in temperature in a city, its due to urban heating effect, not climate changes.
@@LiquidityTrunks "but Robert Hicks remembers lookin at his old thermometer" I do not have to remember what the temperature was, I only have to read what SCIENTIST say. You know, the people that actually keep records and stuff. Scientist compare proxies to proxies say that the temperature rose from the bottom of the little ice age in the mid 1600's to present by about 1.8°c. A quarter of a degree occurred in the mid to late 1600's.
I have lived in 5 states. In 2020, I moved from Oklahoma to Washington State for various reasons. Weather was one of the top 3 reasons I was considering. I live about an hour from the Canadian border and on the west side of the Cascade Mountains. It is heaven!! The weather is mild, changes with seasons and absolutely beautiful. The humidity is very, very low because of the dew point and no it doesn't rain nearly as much as people think!!
I have lived in South Florida all my life. It seems every year it is hotter and summers are year round. The humidity is awful, which you can't go out and do anything. We would love to move to Washington State.
I lived in Broken Arrow, Ok. AND I call my monster headaches from having barometer head. Now I'm in Western Oregon and haven't had a headache in 15 years. I've found my climate safe place. Yay!
@@elizabethkeith9569 ... Humidity is a monster. I moved from Western US for a short time & had no idea that 95 degrees is near the same feel as 110 in the Western desert. Your clothes become soaking wet... Just miserable. Actually 110 in the West is much more comfortable. No severe life threatening weather either.

I love your educational programming. I know I'm in the minority with this, but some of the background music makes it difficult for me to concentrate on the content. This is especially true with anything that contains a clicking/ticking or snapping noise. Just something to keep in mind regarding your neurodivergent viewers.
I seek out older documentaries from the 70s and 80s before the US and UK started using such emotionally manipulative soundtracks. It feels dishonest and overcompensatory: if the documentary content is presented well enough it shouldn't require a blunt force.

I don't understand why none of the counties that surround the Great Lakes are not highlighted. I live in NE Ohio. No fear of rising waters. Fresh water. Land to grow. Summers usually don't go above 90 degrees and winters are getting warmer.
Mary, I think base on the decades they choose (2040-2060) I think Ohio will end up with much milder winters, the south will be very hot. Many flocking to the southern states, will migrate back North to cooler, milder weather.
I’ve lived my whole life in Northern California, the last 18 years with my Canadian husband, who, ironically, left Canada because it was so cold where he lived. We are now preparing to move to Vancouver, BC because it’s getting so hot where we live, it’s impossible to go outside without significant health risks.
Van - overrated, expensive place with wildfires, full of drug addicts and homeless. Moreover it's prone to tsunami because of Cascade Subduction zone earthquake, which can occur in 50 years with 1/3 probability.
I live in Vancouver....besides the incessant rain, forest fires east and north of here, and future loss of coastline, it's a great place. Oh, I forgot, we're way overdue for the "Big One"...earthquake. Still, I love it.
I moved from Hawaii to Japan a few years ago and the first couple years were unbearably hot, but lately the spring, fall and winters are all cold. It’s almost April and it snowed all over the Kanto region today. The rainy season has been delayed and then lasted most of the summer the last few summers also, with mosquito swarms from March to November. In terms of the climate I think Japan has always been and probably will be more stable than other areas of the earth. That said, economically they pay like Mississippi and work you like New York. There’s a reason that the population has been, and is, declining here!!
*RE: "I moved from Hawaii to Japan a few years ago and the first couple years were unbearably hot"* Yup, that's weather alright. My family and I were stranded for 12 hours on the Shinkansen between Kyoto and Tokyo in the winter of 1985 due to near record snows. When we got home our car-port roof had collapsed due to all the snow. Highly unusual, but that's what the weather is. As Mark Twain succinctly put it more than 150 years ago: "Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get." I cannot improve on that, can you? P.S. Tokyo and the entire Kanto plain's summers are always hot but certainly not unbearably hot, I bared them and so did you.
@@jackthomas2051 by now it’s well known that the average GLOBAL temperature is warming, and the jet stream is in major fluctuation, resulting in pockets of cold air moving southward, affecting places like Detroit. Common knowledge, are you living under a rock?
In my country in the southern hemisphere, temperate zones have become sub-tropical, sub-tropical have become tropical, and tropical has become equatorial. It is a bit of a nightmare. The ability to migrate is down to one's resources and how well one can work at a distance. This was an excellent article, thank you.
I think you might need to add the impact of drought into your next estimations. Scientists posit that there is desertification occurring in the southwest - so places that have been depending on Colorado river water (among other rivers) are going to have to come up with alternatives. Huge dams also provide electricity. It would be harder to live in Arizona with little or no air conditioning and water rationing. This also effects California, Nevada, Utah, and other states. Once desertification has taken hold, wild fires will subside - deserts don't burn.
With the weather you can predict anything and it will eventually come true. How about 100 degree temperatures in Alaska - oh shit that already happened - 1915 (inside the arctic circle)
@@brucefrykman8295 outliers are fun to talk about, but the people who study climate are looking at averages. As the average weather shifts so will our biomes. Some shifts will be quite costly, but we have time to move. And hopefully the plants can move quick enough, they tend to be slow.
@@willjapheth23789 *RE "outliers are fun to talk about, but the people who study climate are looking at averages."* "Studying" things does not mean you know anything about the things you are studying. During the Roman Empire, haruspices "studied" chicken entrails to determine future events. We may laugh about it now, but at the time haruspices were considered experts in determining the future. All they had to do was to convince the gullible majority that they knew what they were doing. "Studying" is only an activity, it'snot an accomplishment. I tutor physics as a volunteer and I can assure you that I had some truly hopeless cases who "studied" the subject endlessly, they just couldn't solve any problems without help. They should not have been taking the physics. There are many such useful courses they could have been "studying" instead that they could have actually mastered (welding, home ecc. history, health etc) Possibly the greatest man of science who ever lived, Sir Isaac Newton, "studied' alchemy for most of his adulthood. He accomplished nothing by this "studying" Climatology as a science is not unlike alchemy. In the past climatology was considered a clerical job of collecting statistical weather data for agricultural or insurance purposes primarily. This is not science. Science must "predict" outcomes and no "climate science" has ever proven this can be done. Climate has no averages, in order to have an average you need some numbers. If you have numbers then you must have a metric. Climate has no metric since it's a non-scientific term for the prevailing "weather" condition occurring in a general area of a general period of time. Weather is also not a scientific term, it's also a general term for an unspecified collection of atmospheric conditions occurring at a particular time and place. (dew point, pressure, wind velocity and direction, precipitation levels, growing degree days, etc. to name but a few.) Further, the Earth has no collective weather and therefore can have no collective climate. It has untold millions of climates. You cannot add this stuff up and divide and come up with a metric by which you can measure "global climate change" The term "climate change" as it is used today by the politicians, the press, and those in the education industry seeking grants of public money use this term to confuse the scientifically illiterate and the incurably gullible. Always follow the money for any new fear useless people are supposed to cure for us. It's quite easy to cure a disease that your client doesn't have. In the case of climate change" you consume trillions slopping at the public trough and then declared the non existent disease (climate change) "cured" (See, "Ozone Hole," "Silent Spring," & "Acid Rain" for similar scams)
@@brucefrykman8295 I see you seem to be rather stuck in a pit of smart ass skepticism. Prophecy using palms or stars or anything like that is not the scientific method so that comparison can be thrown out right away. Newton has some strange supernatural views, that does not mean scientists are injecting similar bais into climate science. Climate science is very empirical, as most science regarding heat transfer is empirical. They look at the solar input and the how the atmosphere holds heat. We know carbon gas and water make the atmosphere opaque to thermal radiation emitted by the earth and thus reduces the radiation the earth returns to space, so the earth increases in average heat until input and output are back at equilibrium. Not sure how you can believe climate can't change on a global level unless you are completely ignorant of the ice age. The earth will still be full of biomes whether hotter or colder, but biomes will shift in position and size. If the shift happens quick enough, it will put alot of pressure on the environment and our society to adjust. It will be costly to any species that can't afford to move, or lives in a small biome, as well as humans. We'll survive of course, but we can work to reduce future suffering.
Friends of mine moved out of northern California after the Camp Fire. After having to evacuate once, and enduring hte terrible air quality, and seeing the devastation of Paradise, they suffered a form of PTSD when the weather warmed up and the start of fire season began. They sold their home, bought a trailer and moved outside of Houston, where they leave every summer and travel to better weather.
I had family leave California for the Northeast calling themselves climate refugees around 6 years ago. This was before the incessant wildfires but the droughts were already bad. There were water limits in their county and they would time their showers and collect the cold water in the beginning to use to water plants etc. They knew it would just get worse. We live in upstate NY and have heard of recent neighbors coming from Colorado and California with climate being the main reason.
The elite oligarchs used to call it "Global Warming," and when that proved false, they changed it to "Climate Change." Have uou ever heard of (the real) Nikola Tesla and his technogies, and how he created the ability to engineer the weather - from draughts, to hurricanes, to fires, and even earthquakes? Yes, our government "borrowed" his discoveries upon his death, and even used it for seed clouding in Vietnam. Look into HAARP in Alaska, and chemtrails. Besides, our enemies (china, india, and russia) are now responsible for the current state of global pollution, and are still using oil and coal. The plan is to destroy America from within, and with the sheep non-the-wiser. I actually heard recently that the whole climate change hoax was started by Russia. Snd it realky seems yo be working. Your first clue was that the elite oligarchs did not allow for any debate to take place. That is how media control works -- not science. "It is easier to fool people, than to convince them thst they have been fooled." - Mark Twain
Most of the wildfire issues, at least in Oregon and Washington come in large by the complete lack of forest management by the state. This management was done a lot by the lumber industry who took care of the forests as well as replanting. The greenies decided to kill that industry without any way to take up forest management.
I love in Northern California and it's not that bad at all. Plenty of water, we almost always have a drought but California has alternating droughts for thousands of years and the county I live is the premier wine country in the world with plenty of redwoods, too, clean air and very rare we have water regulation. If you know where to live you can avoid wildfires. We don't have hurricanes, tornados, floods except on the Russian River (just don't live there like I did). Our county practices sustainability, stewardship of wilderness and agriculture, much of it farm-to-table and other methods of conserving water and soil. Some of the best soils in the world - terroir winemakers call it. I love living in the only State that has thousands of redwoods which are the biggest sequesters of carbon in the world. Our town has so many redwoods I'm convinced it keeps the air so fresh and the water is clean. California is a big state but people always it's the same everywhere in the state but there are hundreds of microclimates and the greatest biodiversity in the United States.
@@danm8747 Weve had a century of stupidity under Smoky the Bear trying to suppress fires and consequently there's a huge buildup of fuels. I'm not convinced logging companies do things in a responsible manner. But here in California we're studying the way the indigenous tribes managed the environment...with controlled burns for one thing. California is a fire-dependent forest system, the plants here like the redwoods are dependent on wildfire for reproducing. Not this much of course! The thousands of redwoods in California are the biggest sequesters of carbon in the world, btw.
I moved from the Midwest to the Southwest twenty years ago to get away from the tornados. I'm glad I did, since my former home has now added earthquakes due to fracking on top of tornados. So I've already moved my life to find weather more suited to how I want to live. I felt like the Southwest was perfect for me as I actually prefer to be considerably warmer, on average than 50-60 degrees! I'm sorry, thats COLD as far as I'm concerned. However, the places I've lived and live now are clearly heating up, burning up, and drying up. I find myself seriously wondering if they will still be livable in twenty years. I've read the tornado alley is moving east... nah, nothing could get me to move back to the Midwest. But I may have to go a bit further north. Sadly, what I've seen of how our U.S. society has reacted to the pandemic, with violence, selfishness and cruelty, I don't expect that we will see a better reaction to climate migrants. The lovely speech about us all working together made me laugh. I'm 62 and I've heard that speech before, during Vietnam, during 9-11, and it never happens. The rich get richer, and the poor, well, we'll probably die fighting each other for the last scrap the 1% knocked off the table.
Fracking does not create earthquakes tectonic stress caused by magma dragging on the underside of the lithosphere causes earthquakes. The stress was always there it just needed a lubricant to cause the plates to slip
@@thetechnicanwithaheart1682 So by your comment the fracking is the lubricant to cause plates to slip which causes the earthquakes therefore contradicting yourself because fracking now causes earthquakes lol
Living in Southern California, I think our biggest threat is drought and water supply. Where I live, i am not so worried about wildfires as much as the idea of 10,000,000 people without enough water. It’s going to become like Mad Max in Los Angeles.
It's good that you're facing this prospect instead of doing like so many I've talked with. They nay-say the risk, which I believe is likely just an ego defense mechanism because the thought of being forced to relocate due to factors outside one's control can feel oppressive. And nobody likes to feel that way. But, however understandable such defense mechanisms may be, they don't actually help anyone -- including the person avoiding the uncomfortable truths available to them. Hopefully, in addition to facing these risks, you're planning *now* to do something *soon* because if you wait until everyone around you is on-board with the reality, you'll be caught in a mass exodus where real estate prices are falling precipitously, and availability elsewhere will already be more expensive than it is now. You've probably heard that old saying that _'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,'_ right? Well, in my view, the 'ounce of prevention' is a proactive relocation strategy that's implemented sooner rather than later. I wish you well as you ponder your choices and the timing in which to execute them.
As an ex-Californian, I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but you forgot about the other overdue natural disaster so feared they've already named it the "BIG ONE" (Earthquakes, if you didn't get it).
@@Finians_Mancave In case the comment with the link gets deleted, here's the relevant bit: _"Most people in the United States know just one fault line by name: the San Andreas, which runs nearly the length of California and is perpetually rumored to be on the verge of unleashing 'the big one.' That rumor is misleading, no matter what the San Andreas ever does. Every fault line has an upper limit to its potency, determined by its length and width, and by how far it can slip. For the San Andreas, one of the most extensively studied and best understood fault lines in the world, that upper limit is roughly an 8.2-a powerful earthquake, but, because the Richter scale is logarithmic, only six per cent as strong as the 2011 event in Japan._ ... _"If only the southern part of the Cascadia subduction zone gives way, the magnitude of the resulting quake will be somewhere between 8.0 and 8.6.

@@RichardHarlos Okay, thanks for that info, but I'm not sure how the nomenclature matters a bit. An 8.6 quake will be pretty damned destructive, and if you manage to survive that, the aftermath - with the fighting for limited food and water - will be pretty awful and look like one of those dystopian movies. By all accounts this quake is PAST DUE, so I don' t see how you can just write that off as a non-threat.

I'm from Southern CA and moved to lower Michigan to take care of family. When I moved, I was excited just for this reason, climate changed seemed to be actually improving this area. With that said - it is freaking scary COLD in the winter and SWEATY parts of summer. As I write this I would be much more comfortable living in Southern CA year round than here, despite the crappy summer. Here, in the winter if I get lockout of my house, I could actual die. Point being, climate change is having an affect and it is happening faster each year. Just, please, don't move to Vermont (or Michigan etc) thinking it is all sunshine and rainbows there, it is more extreme weather than a SoCAl kid was prepared for. For me it is more dangerous to go outside here and requires more prep than it does in CA currently. Just saying.
I’m in Barstow. The heat this summer was 4 months long, with 20% humidity and 110 temps in august. Misery, pure misery. I’m moving to seattle. I’ll deal with seasonal depression better than roasting alive.
I moved away from the Sierra Foothills in California because of wildfires and heatwaves more than half the year. I got evacuated 3 times in one year. Fire came very close. We moved to Humboldt County to a community near Eureka CA high above where sea level will ever reach at 400FT. Fresh moist ocean air without smoke is nice. Temperatures are always 50F-75F. I think people are a bit too quick to dismiss the coast. Because the coast of California is mostly elevated land and will not be severely impacted the way the East Coast will be. It works. Housing is in relatively short supply here though, but I hear that is improving.
You will likely see at some point wildfires affect even the now moist cool redwood country as conditions get hotter and dry out, but this may be down the roads in a couple-few decades.
Housing will get worse because people brag about how good things are in their neighborhood. Then everyone shows up from all the slums all over planet to your neighborhood. Nice and generous of you to advertise how grand your place is. Expect several bus loads of immigrants shortly.
I’ve visited most of our 50 states but have always called Michigan home! What the study did not mention was the availability of drinking water, renewable energy, and violent crime! Here in Michigan you don’t see a rise in violent crime like many other places, , we’re expanding our wind energy project and since the Flint water crisis, we’ve taken water quality very seriously! We haven’t experienced catastrophic flooding, forest fires, drought, dangerous tornadoes, nor are we affected by hurricanes and earthquakes! While snowstorms that impact the entire region are decreasing, lake-effect snowfall is increasing around Lakes Superior and Michigan, most likely due to warming of Lake Michigan. But the rest of the state has less snowfall and milder temperatures. We are loosing our beaches along Lake Michigan as the water is rising and waves have increased considerably. But people are not as enamored with lake front property as they once were. I used to think about retirement in the south where it wasn’t so cold and winters are shorter. But there’s no need to move as our climate is more agreeable now than ever before! The only concern I do have for the future generations in Michigan, is the protection of our natural resources and the quality the food we eat. But now that’s way off topic!
@@caribrown8554 8 months out of the year? Did you live in the upper peninsula? Even then, 8 months is quite a stretch unless you consider anything non-tropical to be cold. In southeast Michigan, I'd agree that 4 months/year (Dec-March) are pretty cold. That said, it's been what I consider to be too cold to go outside about 7 total days in the 6 years I've lived here. It definitely takes some time to get the right winter gear (i.e. down coat, insulated boots). It's important to remember that just because it's cold outside doesn't mean you have to be cold yourself. I lived in the southwestern US most of my life, and I can honestly say that extreme heat kept me indoors more than cold weather does.
Our city in Australia, went from one of the sunniest to now the wetest, it's raining practically every day and moss growing on driveways and on sidewalks, it'a crazy. cyclones have gotten a lot closer too
That is why we need to protect the earth. Let us plant more native trees to promote biodiversity and hopefully find way to totally transfer to use of natural and renewable energy from fossil fuel which contributed a lot of damage due to emission
I left Arizona and moved to the East Coast due to wildfires. I was also watching my neighbors having to drill deeper wells each year and the winter snowpacks becoming less and less... much less than they ever were in my childhood. As Phoenix and the California desert cities continue to grow it's only adding more demand for water and the writing is on the wall.
I was born in Los Angeles in 1950, and I've lived in the San Fernando Valley (northern L.A.) since 1953. I've seen local temperatures rise, though part of that is due to local effect of increasing pavement--roads and parking lots. When I was a kid, most of the Valley was farmland, orchards, and horse ranches. Today there's hardly any land not covered with houses, apartments, commercial buildings, and especially pavement. I'm looking north, not so much for global climate change, as for local weather change and crowding. And, of course, drought, which IS from global climate change.
@@RobertMJohnson The drought affecting Los Angeles is not primarily local. Most of our water comes, and has long come, from upstate, primarily eastern Sierra Nevada. Drought in Northern CA affects L.A. heavily. Although L.A. doesn't receive significant water from the Colorado Riveror the Feather River Project, other Southern and Central CA areas do, and that affects us as well, as water is fungible.

Yes!! In Houston a lot of money is spend on infrastructure to ensure that there won't be extreme flooding. There's too much concrete!! No where for the water to go...
I am old enough to likely not need to flee due to climate change in my lifetime (unless the Greenland or Antarctic ice collapses), but am not sanguine about this at all. My old home on a cove of a tidal estuary in New England is perched 50’ above current high water mark, and I’ve seen that mark rise and the steep shore undercut by the tides. The course of the seasons have changed and not only storms and severe weather events are stronger. The wind roars through now. Roars. Trees fall that stood for decades or centuries. Plants that used to thrive struggle and die. I am the last of my family in this place we came nearly four centuries ago, and I’d like to think we have been good stewards of it. Overall though, we have not been good stewards of the earth. I fear for what those who come after face, and what we pass them as an inheritance.
Unfortunately, being a good steward today is next to impossible. We all need to stop polluting, first step is stop driving cars . Good luck with that one...
You have undoubtedly been a good steward of the land. The storms are not caused by your lack of stewardship, but by a 12,000-year catastrophe that the Earth has withstood many times-12,000, 24,000 years ago. 36,000 years ago, 48,000, 60,000, 72,000, 94,000, and 108,000 years ago--the layers of rocks, the geology has recorded at least these. It's another cycle like day and night, seasons, rinse and repeat...Humans, except the Neanderthals, have survived all this cataclysm, starting civilizations almost from scratch.

All the carbon dioxide that was released from your tailpipe, from the ships that you've traveled on, from the jet aircraft and from all the materials that you picked up from the grocery store or from the hardware store all emitted CO2 into the atmosphere. Your legacy is CO2 like the Legacy CO2 of billions of humans will stay in the atmosphere for up to 100 years. Carbon dioxide regulates the temperature of the planet. If CO2 did not exist planet Earth would be a complete and Dead Planet full of ice. It would be snowball Earth. CO2 is necessary to trap some of the heat in the atmosphere to make earth habitable. 185 parts per million CO2 is what caused the last ice age 16,900 years ago. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution man has been burning coal in natural gas and that releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. CO2 started going up in the late 1800s and into early 1900s and it has continued with the global increase of population. The maximum level Earth can be considered safe is 350 parts per million. That. In Earth's history occurred in 1990. It's been increasing ever since that point at a rate of 2.5 parts per million per year. Presently CO2 levels are now 420 parts per million per year. Global deforestation has been rampant. Normally a healthy Forest will absorb 1/3 of all carbon dioxide on planet Earth. Unfortunately the global Forest has been decimated and only half of the Boreal and tropical forests are left on Earth. Agriculture normally replaces it in agriculture can only absorb 150th of the carbon dioxide of Earth. Scientists are saying that Earth is entering a sixth math Extinction. There are two mass extinctions underway. One is from overheating of Earth and the second is through biodiversity loss. Let me ask you something in the 1950s or the 1960s or the 1970s or 1980s every time you went on a long drive did you notice a big change in the amount of bug splatter on your windshield? What about the 1990s or 2000s as a getting less and less overtime? That's most likely insect mass extinction and it's severely occurring in the Southwest United States where it's losing its water.

Our shield has been getting weaker, so that the Magnetic Poles are moving rapidly to their previous locations they left 12,000-years ago. It's a sun cycle we haven't experienced in recent times, but the experience of our past civilizations have only been able to warn us by the only means they knew, but we have dismissed them as fanciful stories, myths. They developed Mathematics, geometry, science, but we question their intellectual capacity as though they are somehow superior to them, our genetic past. They were survivors of a catastrophe we will be experiencing as well. But they knew how to hunt and gather their own food, without a shopping cart or a complex technological society to support them. How well will you manage when you are on your own after the micronova burns and crushes your home, neighborhood, your place of work and leaves you to invent your world all over again. When the sun changes from a merry yellow most of the day to a blazing white, you have no idea what happened. You dismiss or don't even notice the first sign after the Carrington Event of 1859. Google it while you still can! I barely mentioned it in "Quantum Knowing: A Train Is on the Tracks" to be published in September. There was too much other information I needed to make available to help an unaware species get ready for a potential extinction event that is already upon us. My compass is already off by almost 15 degrees of true north after I set the official declination for my area. Another sign is the effect a weakened magnetosphere has on mental and psychological stability.
I live in Michigan which I believe to be one of the best locations. We have the Great Lakes, which means a significant reserve of water, are far from the coasts and out of earthquake territory.
My husband, myself, our 2 horses, 2 dogs and 4 cats just relocated to Vermont from the North bay in California…(Santa Rosa) and right in time to avoid yet another fire season that looks to be pretty tough again. We evacuated twice because of wildfires and just could not bear the stress of constantly being prepared to evacuate with the horses and the terrible air quality that often plagues the area for sometimes weeks at a time because of the smoke… Water scarcity and anxiety about hay availability was another factor…still linked to climate change.
I commend your courage for making such a big move involving so many animal friends! I wonder how you are settling in with the big culture shift. I'm a lifelong Californian, but I, too, am so tired of having fire-anxiety. We are out here in Eastern Contra Costa County. I know someone else who moved her family from Santa Rosa to Maine and she says she is enjoying the change.
right there with you. I was ready to move to California beginning of summer 2021. three wildfires affected me in California in the next month. I like air to breath.
Indoor vertical farming is going to become more prevalent in the future along with lab grown meat. Ultimately, access to water is going to become a primary driver and traditional farming locations could change.
@@steviesevieria1868 Almost any argument against meat, although currently valid under the current model, falls apart when you consider growing it in a lab: Animal suffering disappears, overuse of antibiotics vanishes, the need for insane amounts of water becomes obsolete, methane pollution is nil since there is no need for a stomach. All that's left is transportation cost and its emissions. By the time this kind of meat cultivation is perfected and costs drop down to profitable levels, we should have been able to address some of that. We evolved as omnivores and there is a psychological and cultural component to meat consumption as well as an emotional need for some. That is not going to go away any time soon. This is why we need to both create meat alternatives and develop a lab grown solutions as well.
@@greenfoxes5903 Yeah I eat some fish once in a while. The rest of it is totally unnecessary and more harmful to health than beneficial. Of course there’s a huge industry that would disagree with me LMAO.
@@steviesevieria1868 Hey Stevie I was born in Montana, Native America and of a Taiga living tribe from southern Canada. I tried to go meatless, just lacto, no eggs. In 8 months my face and chest broke out in acne. Then there was the gas that 20 drops of Beeno couldnt touch. So because I cannot tolerate veg based proteins as primary protein source that I should???? die? kill myself? feel guilt because of self righteous people like you? what do you think would happen to the tribal peoples of the Artic if they were forced to be even ovo-lacto vegs? they would get sick and die. Meat is not TOTALLY UNNECESSARY, UNLESS YOU SUPPORT GENOCIDE.
Gotta love the ocean level affect maps. They imply by color and intent that these are the areas that will be covered with water. The problem is, for WA state they colored a huge part that is all mountains. I presume they just took the outline of counties and colored them if any part of that county was affected which given WA long slim counties that have a small part by the ocean and a majority of the county at much higher elevations, it ends up being quite misleading. The maps have the entire olympic mountain range underwater, which if that happened would be about 8000 ft meaning most of the US would be under water.
We choose to settle in upstate NY away from the lake to reduce snow events, on a lower hill between two higher ones along the Allegany fingers of the south towns. Tornadoes which are more common than before fly over us and rising waters flow down from us. Snow is half between what Buffalo gets and the southern tier which is not so high, and much easier to deal with, and we all face the same cold temps when the polar vortex comes down, for us it just means less snow as the lake freezes.
I was in New Orleans 4 months after Katrina. I saw a 75 foot shrimp boat taking up one of four lanes of a US highway. You don't forget this sort of thing.
I moved from South Florida to Upstate NY (usually its the other way around) Florida has changed a lot since what it used to be. People are always so surprised by my decision to. "Why would you move from there?" (Upstate is gorgeous btw) honest answer is I see a more stable future.
Florida is the worst place to live, not only because of climate change but because they are ruled by despicable hateful right wing bigots and racists. However it won't matter much in about 10-15 years, once the Arctic and Antarctic ice is gone humans will be extinct shortly after...and living in Vermont (or anywhere else) will not save !
BTW if anyone in the US thinks that they will be safe from climate change they have no idea what they are in for. When we begin to experience ecological and economic collapse in a few short years, all of these right-wing gun nuts will lose their tiny little minds when they realize they've been lied to for years by their fascist corporate whore Republicunts. I guarantee you they will start acting even more like the domestic terrorists they've become under Trump and these bastards are armed to the teeth. My wife and I just bought a small house in the mountains of Costa Rica and will watch the "American carnage" from afar
🆘 (CNN) April 2, 2022 In Antarctica the last six months were the coldest on record. "For the polar darkness period, from April through September, the average temperature was -60.9 degrees Celsius (-77.6 degrees Fahrenheit), a record for those months," the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said. The last six months is also the darkest period at the South Pole, which is where the name polar darkness (also called polar night)comes from. Here, the sun sets for the last time around the spring equinox, and does not rise again until near the autumn equinox six months later. For the entire Antarctic continent, the winter of 2021 was the second-coldest on record, with the "temperature for June, July, and August 3.4 degrees Celsius (6.1 degrees Fahrenheit) lower than the 1981 to 2010 average at -62.9 degrees Celsius (-81.2 degrees Fahrenheit)," according to a new report from the NSIDC. So much for liberal democrats like Al Gore, John Kerry, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, AOC all preaching the Global warning nonsense and we all need to buy $50,000 dollar electric cars and install over priced solar on our homes.
I moved from Central FL to SW Virginia. The hurricanes and tropical storms were stressing me out so badly, and they were just becoming so common, unlike when I was growing up. The worry over flooding was major, but even though our house had not flooded, the power outages that lasted for days and weeks, the loss of water service, the loss of sewage service, having no gas, grocery stores having no cold items, having trees come down and power lines draped across my yard like Christmas garland for a month…it was too much. I now live at 1300 ft elevation, and there is no possibility my home could flood. I have enough land to grow food, I have 15 chickens and a rooster so I can always have eggs and a source to keep the flock going. We do get the tropical storm/hurricane remnants, but they are weak. We do lose power, but I would like to get solar power set up. Tornadoes are very rare here, whereas in FL I literally had a water spout almost tip my car over with me in it, and had two pass over us prior to touch down. We get some lightening here, but unlike in FL, it isn’t hitting my house (once), blowing out transformers on poles (10 tens minimum), starting trees on fire less than 50 feet away from me (4 times), or striking the car in front of me (once)! Right now I’m sitting here listening to a wild turkey up on the ridge, and every night I hear the deer passing through. I have a deep well, but also have a large pond so we could boil water, and it is stocked with edible fish. I feel calmer and more secure here. There were many reasons that I left FL, but, yes…I do consider myself having left due to climate concerns as it was a major factor both in leaving and in my criteria for the home I purchased. My county here is very progressive in addressing climate related issues, too. It’s so nice to live someplace where the government hasn’t literally banned the words “climate change”.
Florida is going to be under water by 2030. At least on the coasts. I feel sorry for all the fools paying stupid prices to live in St. Augustine. They better buy a boat. Happy and safe in Nevada.
@@andyokus5735 your full of shit. I've looked at the storm data the last hundred years. Storms in Florida have been DECREASING in numbers and intensity.
I lived in Illinois most my life and my family swears the weather has always been this nice and I’m speechless because I remember being a kid with feet of snow and we haven’t really got that over the last few years
I also used to get sunburnt through my shirt swimming as a kid in Ontario Canada over march break. This year it snowed. It goes both ways. Thing is when they spray chemicals into the clouds to manipulate weather, its anyones guess. California sprays to induce more condensation to reduce drought. All of these things drastically effect the weather. The worlds wealthy who are profiting off of carbon taxes and alternative energy sources would have to believe you deive your car to work though. Every country in the world could go net 0% except for India and China, and it still wouldnt make a difference. Us "developed" countries that "try to keep our carbon emissions down" just buy everything from china and india so we pin the emissions on them. Its the biggest wealth transfer from the tax payers to the worlds elite in history and people are too stupid to see whats going on. Just a bunch of idiots who do whatever the government tells them to do because they think that they care. Couldnt be farther than the truth.
I grew up in Illinois in the 60s during a mini ice age. When the snow was piled up to the street signs and you had to count houses to get home. This is a temporary warming Trend that will probably go back to the Ice Age again it's a very very tough place to live physically.
Two of the best friends I've ever had, fled to Colorado from Mississippi after Katrina. Seeing that map of the Gulf Coast - watching the town where I went to high school basically slide underwater - that hit me pretty hard. Knowing it'll happen in my lifetime is scary. But my family is among those who probably won't flee, because we won't have the option. We're simply not wealthy enough to relocate, on any time scale. Most of my relatives live either in the same area, or farther south; and the ones that aren't in this state are very far away - in western Texas and Arizona. Not tenable options even IF they had the room to take us in, which they don't. With my husband on dialysis, and disability, we MIGHT be able to get some kind of help sooner...but not unless and until a disaster has already struck. It's just how the system treats the underprivileged, and the reasons for that are complicated, as is any possible solution to it. So mostly we just try to keep prepared, try to keep exploring options and updating information as we go, and hold out hope that we can survive what's coming.
Thanks for sharing that. Equity in extreme weather preparedness and adaptation is something we need to address as a society. We dive a bit deeper into it in our next episode about sea level rise and climate gentrification. I hope you'll stick around for it.
*RE: "Two of the best friends I've ever had, fled to Colorado from Mississippi after Katrina."* I'm truly sorry that you cannot flee the cause of your misery, think of what those Ukrainians are going through! However, hurricanes are a constant feature of the Atlantic, Gulf, and the Caribbean. The Galveston hurricane of 1900 was the worst natural disaster to ever hit the USA. The oil companies did not cause this. Katrina wasn't even an also-ran as far as hurricane strength and intensity goes. It was, however, a man-made disaster: it was caused by 1) The Army Corps of Engineers, 2) Local inept and corrupt politicians and 3) The corrupt and cowardly police they hired. Oil companies and coal miners had nothing whatsoever to do with it. In fact, they all helped mitigate the disaster.
Instead of being in fear, be informed. PBS Is ran by the government that if it was really concerned about climate disaster could have done something forty-five years ago. Research the independent scientists who no longer believe the doomsday scenarios. None of the super rich are moving away from the coasts. Maybe they know something you don't.
David Pogue wrote an informative and sometimes humorous book on this subject titled “How to Prepare for Climate Change”, but he also considers water availability and air quality due to wild fires. His suggestions for where to live also take into consideration whether a city has the infrastructure to tolerate growth. In California even if your not in a wildfire area you can have weeks, if not months of air filled with smoke and ash that is unsafe to breathe.
@@steviesevieria1868 I moved to the San Juan islands when the smoke, fires, and water situation was just too much for me. We still had smoke days here, but only a small fraction compared to where we were. Still feels a million times better/safer than California did. We *almost* chose Oregon instead of the islands, though, and now I’m glad we didn’t. Ofc we’re still getting record-breaking weather *here* both cold and hot, but this is such a mild climate that the extremes are more do-able.
My wife and I were displaced by the Camp Fire. Our choice of destination was driven by many of the factors mentioned in this episode - economics (where could we afford to move/find work?), proximity to family, average temperature and humidity, air quality. We’ve remained in northern CA and for most of the year I feel “safe”. Summer is another matter - HUGE fires and horrible air quality - we button up the house and run two, high volume, air purifiers - keep our bags packed, and our vehicles fueled up and ready to bug out. 😬
I'm just sitting here in South Dakota where the air quality is excellent. Plenty of water. Just wish it would warm up. 30 degrees below normal for weeks this spring.
I'm in Shasta County and we evacuated for Carr. I considered relocating, but in the end, finances and family won out. We're hardening our property, going to upgrade our AC and like you, we keep bags packed and vehicles fueled up.But a friend moved to GA, out in the country, and she's loving it.
I'm in Mount Airy, down at the eastern bottom of the Blue Ridge escarpment. Boone is one of the places I'm keeping an eye on for future reference. But I am also holding an option for clambering higher in the Blue Ridge/Appalachians if need be.
@@nerowolfe5175 Boone is expensive. But further north in Virginia real estate is cheaper. The spine of the Appalachians is the place to be. But don’t tell anyone or it’ll get crowded.
I moved from the Canadian Prairies (perpetual drought, extreme cold in winter, extreme heat in summer, and not much in between) to the Inland coast of northern BC where the rainforest is still intact. I just can not get over how moderate everything is here. Southern BC is a disaster between the floods and the fires but up here it is so stable. The Prairies have always had extreme cold and heat, but every year it just gets worse and I am so lucky I was able to choose to leave before a true disaster forced me to.
I got to go from Alberta to Victoria for school and got to experience a winter with no snow, and like the other comment said no mosquitos. Was wonderful, by the time I was leaving they started to get lots of snowfall for the first time in over a decade like all the residents said. And now snow fall is a staple every winter.
@@frederickodiase971 Yeah Victoria really got dumped on a couple days ago. Snow where I am is normal and we're just getting our first big snowfall of the year now
Another area being ignored by many of these climate refugee videos are the Appalachian mountains. This area stretching from northern GA up to ME is inland enough to avoid rising sea levels. It has elevation to keep cool (even in the south) and geographical features that offer protection from violent storms. You would only need to be conscious of valley flooding and select your homesite accordingly.
High ground might get crowded plus food and continuity of safety for people in dire need of a space. Horrors of it, best not get too much thinking on it if you are not able to,do@nothing about you situation. Just get higher now.
The northern suburbs and exurbs of Atlanta are seeing a ton of growth, a perfect example of this. I wouldn't be surprised if Appalachian cities such as Chattanooga TN, Asheville NC, Charleston WV, and even Pittsburgh PA grow a lot in the next few decades
Central Appalachia especially. Further south and the weather will become too hot and dry and unfavorable for agriculture. I live in the perfect spot for climate change, which will become the southernmost habitable place in the US. (Eastern Kentucky)
I moved from San Diego California area to Tucson Arizona 3 years ago and was not aware of climate information. I have become disabled and have no way to move again realized I'm in a death trap. It's going to be 110 this weekend and I'm scared that Black outs are coming. Scared to death.🥵
I'm a retiree who's also stuck here in Tucson. Been looking for an area to move to with plenty of water and is survivable if the grid goes down and the semis stop rolling. Needing to be near public transportation has complicated the search significantly. Right now Oregon, Washington, and Vermont are my favorites. I've never been to the Great Lakes region.
Have you checked on this area still this video was released? They have had three devastating flooding events since then, two exactly one year apart on July 10th in 2023 and 2024.
I live very close to the Great Salt Lake, which is drying up and uncovering a bunch of arsenic laced dust. So I'd like to move away from the dying lake before that becomes a more pressing issue.
My dad: climate change is perfectly natural and we therefore don't need to do anything about it. Also my dad: we have a lot more droughts and wildfires than when I was your age. It's getting to be a real problem.
@@joesucks2023 you are not wrong. The earths climate has always changed, so the fact it is changing is not the problem. The problem is the rate at which it is changing, we have achieved in a century what should take millennia to happen
@@timberwolf0122 Tell me ole wise one, what is a woman? And while you're spreading wisdom, tell me why oblahblahblah bought an oceanfront mansion if climate change is so sped up?
Love living in Northern California......not far from some serious wildfires in recent years and two years of drought right now but......so much natural beauty and wonderful people.
This was well done and informative. Would be great to get a 2023 updated version. My location/state is on the receiving end of perpetual inbound mass migration due to financial problems faced by those fleeing other states. The new arrivals, by the thousands, are the future of humanity on this planet. Meaning: Everyone will have to migrate constantly throughout their lifetime. When it's my turn, I pray my new neighbors are as welcoming as I have been to those crowding into my city.....😱
A few years ago my partner and I moved to the Central Highlands of Tasmania from Brisbane, Queensland (in Australia) to avoid the inevitable effects of climate change. It was already getting too hot to live there, and this year the city suffered from the most severe floods it has ever experienced. Sadly the government refuses to acknowledge the link between these extreme weather events and climate change, and continues increasing subsidies for the industries responsible for the majority of carbon and methane emissions.
The suns activity has a lot to do with climate change . Listen to solar experts. They can even predict the weather by the solar activity. According to ice core samples scientists have pulled from the arctic, we have less carbon in the atmosphere than the planet had in the past. Plants need carbon to breath. If we keep cutting down our rain forests and jungles, the entire planet will turn into a desert. Our cars and industry has very little to do with carbon being pumped into the atmosphere. It simply isn’t enough. As a matter of fact, if we had more green, we would have to pump more carbon into the atmosphere to sustain them. The way things are going, the planet is going to continue to try and correct what’s happening by introducing extreme weather alongside solar activity giving the weather a steroid push.
Carbon is NOT the villain the alarmists claim. Even worse, it’s based on faulty science. Its focus on CO2 make you and me the enemy because we exhale CO2 with each and every breath. And we need the success of plants because we depend upon them for food and oxygen, warmth in winter, construction, and other wood products. And spaceweather science has shown that CO2 is NOT a factor in solar forcing in climate. The science proves that CO2 levels do NOT affect global warming because the AGW global-warming enthusiasts fail to apply well-known solar- particle datasets, using irradiance instead, failing to note earth's weakening magnetic field, which modulates interactions between earth and sun, because of their failure to understand newly understood paths of solar forcing. Their bias and ignorance are distributed to a society misled by a pseudoscience political narrative.
@@allenheart582 Ok Trumpo. What "science" are you quoting? Your ignorant rant is political, a defense of human caused pollution. The planet will survive, but our species may go extinct with your Republican point of denial. Now go away troll boy.
But haven’t the governments been bragging about controlling the weather? So, does that mean they are already in control of the climate and this is a bunch of BS? Thoughts?
I recently moved out of California after experiencing 10 atmospheric rivers. I was during the storms pumping away from my house 10 gallons of water per minute for about 8hrs+ each storm. Luckily my home had very minor damage but that was enough for me.

Have had a few strong storms too but we always get a few strong storms. Tornadoes are the biggest threat here! Having a underground cellar isn't a bad idea for anyone in tornadic regions!
I live in Germany, near Cologne. We have never had as many dry years as the last 4. The big conifers have all been destroyed. Last year we had a devastating torrential rain event like we've never had before. We have to prepare for massive changes all over the world
@@richardurban2269 Richard, I get my climate info from climate scientists. Get my virus/ vaccine info from virologists and immunologists. Not sure where you’re getting yours but I hope it works out for you.
@@solarwind907 Just because someone coined a non existent problem as “Climate change” doesn’t mean you should listen to Climatologists. Lol. Climatologists have nothing to do with this alleged problem. This situation is for Atmospheric scientists! Aka, Meteorologists. I am a Meteorologist. Climatologists study the history of climates, in an attempt to predict future climate. The alleged problem involves added CO2 which changes the ATMOSPHERE, which means this is not a climatology problem. Stop believing this nonsense. I am a expert in this field, easily in the top 3% of all scientists studying AGW. If you want the truth, reply back. This myth is so easily destroyed, with just a basic scientific knowledge.
It’s fairly easy to be more precise about this. Michigan is, as most everyone here agrees, the safest state, but only one of the great lakes will be able to provide the air and water quality necessary to sustain safe living conditions as our climate buckles. The south shore of Lake Superior, where the summer temps average about 75 degrees, is your answer. The safest place to live in the United States will be Marquette Michigan.
I am from Michigan and have figured we are enjoying the most important resources. Being used to the temperature changes and knowing how to deal with them makes this area the wisest home choice I can think of.
Heat. Heat makes me want to move. I am perfectly okay with temperatures reaching a couple degrees under 0 on the Fahrenheit scale, but the constant 90 degree weather for most of the year in Florida is just too much. Combined with the risks of flooding and hurricanes, it's past time to leave. Sadly, I will have to avoid wildfires and severe drought too, so that rules out even northern California. I am already preparing to move several states northward or to Canada or Europe. I am terrified that immigration will be even tighter the longer I wait.
U want cold inner Canada is The place. Alotbo for more qffordable housing up there since the Winters are unbearable. Nice Summers of course but it,s burning too. Locate where.u can escape fire. Water bodies, sand, rock.
Northern state's and Canada's winters are still brutal. Last year in Troy Montana a good 4 to 6 feet of snow stayed on the ground for months. I chose the Appalachian mountains and a rural area of south eastern KY because it may be below 32 F and even on occasion reach a couple degrees below 0 F in winter, the winters are still not harsh. This last winter we got a whole 8 inches of snow in one storm and it was all over the news because it was considered a major, heavy snowfall! It seldom snows more than a couple inches and it melts in a day or two. There are four distinct seasons here. Only summer is hot and humid. I can deal with only one season of it! Yes, you do have to be willing to put up with the threat of severe thunderstorms and even tornadoes, but in the county I'm in the last tornado that caused any damage was back in the 70s. No guarantees on complete safety from weather anywhere you go. Now if you can't manage being outside of a major metropolis, then Lexington, KY may be a good choice for you. Don't forget, Europe this Summer has had weeks of record breaking high temps and the place has a crapload of HUGE wildfires! People are dying all over the place from the heat. Air conditioning is practically unheard of there because it has never been needed. Europe, unfortunately is no longer a very good choice. It keeps getting worse every year.

I currently live within 2 miles of the coast of Connecticut. We have seen more wet weather in the past few years. Our Spring season now lasts longer. As of today 4/27/22 we are still having weather overnight down to the low 40's and some frost warnings overnight. Our fear is of the rising sea levels. Twice in the past year I've watched the high tide flooding into our yard in just minutes. We are in a flood plane and we are getting emergency warnings when even moderate size storms are predicted. We have lived here for 6 years and the warnings started just this winter. Our family is planning to migrate within 2-3 years. We are planning a move inland. Our current plan is to South or North Carolina with a plan for a family homestead. Our lives will be dramatically changed but with Grandparents to grandchildren all moving together with a shared goal, incredible love we are all READY to be there together.
here in inland CT as of 8/12/22, there’s a drought and we just got out of a nearly two week long heat wave. This winter didnt have as much snow as previous years, but it did have a lot of ice. Climate change is definitely noticeable. I’ve also noticed a lot more tornadoes in the state over the last few years, had to go down to the basement for one. I’m planning to stay in the northeast for most of my life though - I like snow and hate the heat and humidity. also, I wish you all the best with moving!
Here in Ionia, MI the grand river has been flooding the fairgrounds for years! In the northern suburbs of the town where I live there was a flash flood that flooded half of my front yard
I’m in North Carolina right now… but going outside for 4 months out of the year is literally unbearable. 88-92 degrees every day with 95+% humidity… every single day.
When a billion people from the equatorial regions show up, and can legitimately blame northern countries who enjoyed a high energy consumption lifestyle, can they really be denied entry? Given that reality, shouldn’t we be planning now for a unprecedented human migration on scales that have never occurred? Specifically, to Nordic countries, Russia, Canada and the US? We keep getting into problems because we fail to anticipate and plan ahead, but here we have a few decades to build the infrastructure required, and prepare systems to process and accommodate what will otherwise be potentially destabilizing…
Yep, blame the U.S. for its "high energy consumption" without even considering the billions of dollars made here and sent to those countries, not to mention the BILLIONS OF TONS of food we send to those countries also!!! So, let's bring in BILLIONS of illegal immigrants so we can ALL enjoy a "high energy consumption lifestyle" and drain ALL of our resources!!!! Yep...makes more sense now that I spelled it out!!!!!
@@gailandrus7667 It is a question of quantity. The US is responsible for most of what is in the atmosphere, and continues to add the most per person. Foreign aid doesn’t change that. Dollars do not redeem you from that fact or reverse the damage. It is still up there, capturing heat, and will be for hundreds of years. And it is growing exponentially at precisely the growth rate of the economy. And when it makes the homes of others unliveable, no one will “bring in illegal anything”, legitimate refugees will go where there is life. At some point Americans will try to cross the Canadian border. And if by that point, you still consume carbon energy then god help whoever is left.
I wondered this exact question. Thank you for this video and all the research it entailed! Love the attitude the wonderful leaders of the Vermont county showed. If only more people are like them, the world would be a better and hospitable place.

I have dreamed about leaving WI and its hard winters for years. I kept watching the weather across the US and reading about cost of living and medical care, etc. Now the last parent has passed and the country has gone down the sewer. I think I will stay where I am because it is what I know and reasonably safe from natural disasters. It is still possible to get tornados, and possibly flooding, but the so called safest place in America just got flooded. Since retirement, we can stay home if it is too cold and icy. Doctor appts can be changed. We always have some groceries on hand. We will just hibernate if necessary.
I relocated to Vermont based on my intuition. I had no idea it was safe from Climate Change. I left the Pacific NW to avoid the big earthquakes that are coming.
Interesting. But you're now in snow and ice 6-8 months/year, a climate catastrophe in your personal situation. Hawaii is by far the best climate in the USA. Plus they have water. Just do not live on the beach, which you cannot afford anyway.
I haven't moved because of climate change, but my wife and I did change our long term plans for moving to Oregon. To me, the drought and wildlife risks are too big to make sense. I live in the great lakes region and didn't come here because of climate, but in large part I'm staying because of it. I'm not far from a large source of fresh water and both our temperature and precipitation range are fairly middle-of-the-road, giving us room to go in either direction with minimal impact. I'm totally armchair scienceing, but I think about it quite often and I feel like I'm a prepared as I can be in terms of location at least
@@pbsterra this subject is already something I asked about a couple of episodes ago, so you are spot on ! But on a more broad view everything that’s about practicalities of climate change over our way of life is very much needed, just like this episode looks at safe places in a practical point of view, we could have the same with other topics: What are alternative raw materials to replace the ones we use now that will be impacted negatively by climate change ?

My cousin moved from CA to get away from the constant smoke from the wildfires, as he had to be med-evacced a number of times. He moved to Florida. Sort of trading one climate risk for another. He believes he will have to move again in 10-15 years as the storms and heat get worse. I’ve lived all over, including CA, Seattle and Nevada. Nevada got too hot for me so I moved back to my native Indianapolis a couple of years ago. I think it is fairly safe here from climate risk, though apparently not a climate haven as depicted in this video. Vermont seems nice. 😅
I moved from Minnesota to Arkansas 20 years ago. It's hot in the summer but the winter's are, for the most part, very mild. It is a beautiful state and it's affordable.
One of my closest friends moved from Chico, California after a few years of wildfires (including the Camp Fire, which reached within 1 mile of their home). Her family was sick of the worry and the smoke and poor air quality. They moved all the way to Sarasota Springs, NY and consider themselves climate refugees. I live in Colorado where the surprise Marshall fire wiped out two of my friend’s homes. I’m super worried about wildfire and drought, both of which already impact us.
I also live in Upstate New York, but closer to Pennsylvania. I have been considering moving to the Southeast to escape the cold weather, snow, short fall and winter days, and clouds. But perhaps Upstate is a climate haven. Not sure. Did they have family in Sarasota Springs?
@@ts214121 Yes, their daughter in laws parents live there. Here in the SW, water is becoming more scarce, so its definitely not a climate haven, and with the continued warming, may be completely unbearable during summer months, so choose wisely
Sadly, the drought would have happened regardless. It is what happens when you have too many people using the same source of water. The southwest is a desert with a large river system that is sucked dry before it even reaches the ocean. If the most of the population in the cities of the southwest all moved to the northeast then the Colorado River would likely recover in a few years, or we could just build a bunch of desalinization plants and refill all the lakes in the great basin. That would create a nice source of water and cool the southwest quite a bit.
You mean Saratoga Springs, NY? Sarasota Springs is in Florida. Saratoga Springs is a beautiful place on the south end of Lake George and the edge of the Adirondacks. What a great place to live, even without climate change.
I'm a Massachusetts native living in Atlanta, GA. I definitely feel the effects of climate change. I'm looking elsewhere for my next home. With the growing importance of food sustainability & independence, moving to a location that is beneficial for crops is a must.
Thank you for that list. This concern is definitely part of why I moved where I did. As much as I love my hometown, and the ocean, I appreciate other parts of nature as well, and found a place that's safer for me and my family.
I would like to move due to my fear of wildfire, but where do you go? There needs to be abundant fresh water, the ability to produce your own food, elevation to protect from flooding. I live in a rural area of the Pacific NW. I feel like my best choice is to just try to make my home fire resistant, since I already have the elevation, water and temperate climate(at least for now).
People are more focused on running from their problems then solving them “safe” areas will quickly be populated and new problems will rise from that. Climate change needs to be confronted.
Think we might be too late. Combating climate change will require abolishing consumerism.
@Splint Meow But it's NOT overpopulation, it's the proper and humane allocation of resources. I don't produce NEARLY as much of a carbon footprint as a billionaire does with their yachts, 5000 square feet mansions, plus their two or three other homes, their cars, their jets etc, yet I'm being BLAMED for my single use plastics? I can't AFFORD greener options.

I ran away from my home state of Wisconsin to escape the frigid winters…went to arizona….ten years later I came back home because I hated the heat…I just had the most mild winter of my life in Wisconsin, I don’t think it ever went below zero and i only had to shovel a few times…it was wonderful and scary as hell…it was not the winter I remember growing up and I worry about the changes to come and it makes me so profoundly sad

I was there 2017 to 2019 and WINTERS WERE 7 MOS!!!!! I will not go back there!!!
I'm only 21 from Minnesota and this past years winter was unlike any other. I remember it normally would start snowing in October/November and stay snowy until around March or April, but this past year it snowed in November and all that snow melted and in December we were having temperatures in the 50s and almost to the 60s! Instead of snow it was raining and from December 15th-17th we had thunderstorms with hurricane level winds (75 mph+) and the first ever recorded December tornado in history, the latest recorded tornado previously was on November 17th.
My son just bought a property in northern Wisconsin on a lake, freshwater, fish to eat, etc. It would be a paradise if not for the mosquitoes. Still it is a nice getaway from Denver.

Been in Michigan most of my life. Bought a 10 acre farm that has a 1 acre pond, underground water, and is on a pretty large hill. I feel pretty safe from climate change out here. Our goal this year is to get stable food production from our land going.
Lived in Michigan all my life. I have also traveled all over the US early on. While I loved traveling and liked many of the places I visited, I always loved coming home. Now I just vacation around Michigan. There are so many placed to go and see once you leave the Detroit area that are just so wonderful.

I came across this video on July 12, 2023. My husband and I are trying to figure out where to retire. We are from the New England area but have lived in many states. Most recently Washington State and now in Texas. The irony is, just 2 days ago Lamoille County Vermont suffered from severe flooding causing historic rainfall to wash out roadways and bridges in the region. Over 7 inches of rain in less than 24 hours. Really no place is free from severe weather events. 😢
The issue with Vermont is its narrow valleys. The problem it poses is not being meaningfully addressed even though we experienced this already with Tropical Storm Irene. I don’t have the ability to flee at this time myself, but I think that you want a hilly, but not mountainous, terrain and a location well inland with ample access to freshwater. I think that Michigan near the Great Lakes will escape the worst of the flooding, yet will have plenty of water and the temperatures should remain moderate for a while. We can only mitigate risk though. No place will be safe from the degradation of our quality of life. I already see so many fewer butterflies and dragonflies, etc.
Correct. 😢

Amazing that the availability of drinking water wasn't mentioned. Even the scientist who spoke about the preferred temperature range by humans apparently didn't factor water availability in the study.
Add to that water availability for agriculture.
Aren't you thinking about that? Water doesn't come automatically from the faucet.
also humidity is probably more important than average temperature as a single factor
The scientist probably will cover that in a later publication.
But you sorta have to keep it within 10 pages, or no one will read/quote it, and your career will suffer for it 🙃

My family moved out to Josephine County, Oregon in 2018, and we bought a 4-acre homestead with great plans. Then the summer drought/fire season rolled around. Our well dried up and we had to buy water to live on the land. Breathing, from the smoke of wildfires, was an issue for my wife and I. The summers of 2019 and 2020 proved that we could not live in the area of Oregon we had settled in. In the late winter/early spring of 2021, we moved to Illinois, less than a mile from Lake Michigan. The winter cold is hard on our arthritis, but survivable and we can breathe.
Right! Breathing is kind of important.

Ticks actually arent an issue in northern maine. Central and southern maine have them bad though. With a warming climate, i assume they will become an issue for us in the future. Snakes are nonexistant except green grass snakes with no teeth.
I would say the biggest issue to safety is the snowstorms and moose. For snowstorms we all have studdes tires and just dont go out if too bad. But this last winter weve barely had any snow.

I thought Vancouver would be a pretty good place to avoid extreme weather events because it's so temperate but we just had a record breaking heat dome followed by a huge atmospheric river that had record breaking rainfall and flooding. I truly think nowhere is safe and predicting where these extreme weather events are going to occur is impossible.
Yep, predicting is probably pretty difficult but I hope that this episode makes people think about the idea of Climate Migration as something that is inevitable eventually. Thanks for watching! We're in Portland and experienced lots of the extremes you mentioned. Did you get flooded during the atmospheric river?
Agreed. I'm in Seattle, but I felt like the whole pacific northwest was probably best area. We also don't have the hurricanes & tornadoes of half the country. We do have earthquakes, but not nearly as often as south of us.
Aside from a volcano, we're pretty safe from natural disasters. But we've always had flooding and that's getting worse.
I have a niece who thought the thick, orange wildfire smoke of recent summers was normal.
No where is "safe". We have to do everything we can to address climate change and we need to do what humans are best at- adapt. It's scary. And it's so much more than the impact on humans.
Yeah even though most metrics have us pretty ok here in the PNW, the wildfire risk in summer is definitely very real. Summer 2020 was a real nasty one here in the Rose City.
With how populated California is I feel like if the big one hits then the Pacific Northwest would get flooded by people. Could get pretty scary.

Most of these were under 2 miles long in the 1980s, on the north side of the Chugach foothills; by 2014, all were gone.

Additionally, there is more wind blowing inside the I-285-beltway. In response to the climate change, we've planted a dozen Japanese Maples in our west-facing, front yard & built a screened in porch which is now cooled by those trees. Our west-facing windows are also shaded by the same trees. We've also installed a full-house, stand-by generator, but that's not all we are doing.

Having spent most of my life in southeastern Wisconsin, I can say that living near Lake Michigan is great for both recreation and fresh water access. Our winters are milder than they were 30 years ago, we don't have to worry about hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanos, or most other natural disasters, and if need be we can produce our own food. No place is perfect, but I can see the upper Midwest being an attractive destination for those fleeing extreme heat, wildfires, water shortages, and other issues forcing relocation.

How much snow do you get in the winter?
@@Decision_Justice The average snowfall is listed at 39 inches a year, but that has dropped significantly in the last 20 years. We got less than 20 in 2017, 2020, and 2023. We only had 6 inches from January to April 2024. And since the average temps are going up, many times it melts within a few days. We can no longer count on a white Christmas.
@@jenniferburns2530 Wow! That's quite the change. It still probably gets extremely cold in the winter where you are, doesn't it? Or are you close enough to Lake Michigan that you don't get quite as cold as those further inland?
Do you get Lake Effect snow where you are?
@@Decision_Justice we don't get much extreme cold anymore. When I was a teenager, we would get about 7-10 days of -20F or colder each winter (with wind chills in the -35 or -40 range) but now we rarely get that cold. We still have a few sporadic negative temps, but usually in the single digits and typically only for 1-3 days. Since we are right on Lake Michigan, we do get lake effect snow, which will increase a snowfall a few inches. It still melts fairly quickly, but every 10-20 years we will get a big one that takes a few days to dig out (12-15 inches.) Those are coming less frequently as well. Our last big one was 2011.
I was surprised to see Colorado as a place to go to avoid climate effects. With the kinds of wildfires we've been seeing over the last 15 years, and the likelihood of extreme drought and loss of water, I'm very curious why we were considered a haven.
Same. I was a bit surprised too. I've been hearing from friends and family who live there who notice the air quality from the wildfires or notice less snow in the mountains.
If you look at the chart in the description, it's only certain parts of Colorado. In some parts the heat is gonna increase a fuck ton, in others it's the frequency of wildfires.
Also surprised to see that as well considering the wildfire factor. And hi from Arthur the grey cat !!

You may want to look up the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai eruption last year. From NASA's own website. None of the following fits the current narrative, so you don't hear anything about it by design.
"The huge amount of water vapor hurled into the atmosphere, as detected by NASA’s Microwave Limb Sounder, could end up temporarily warming Earth’s surface.
When the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted on Jan. 15, it sent a tsunami racing around the world and set off a sonic boom that circled the globe twice. The underwater eruption in the South Pacific Ocean also blasted an enormous plume of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere - enough to fill more than 58,000 Olympic-size swimming pools. The sheer amount of water vapor could be enough to temporarily affect Earth’s global average temperature.
“We’ve never seen anything like it,” said Luis Millán, an atmospheric scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. He led a new study examining the amount of water vapor that the Tonga volcano injected into the stratosphere, the layer of the atmosphere between about 8 and 33 miles (12 and 53 kilometers) above Earth’s surface.
In the study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, Millán and his colleagues estimate that the Tonga eruption sent around 146 teragrams (1 teragram equals a trillion grams) of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere - equal to 10% of the water already present in that atmospheric layer.

After a major flood event in Houston in 2015 (flooded apartment and car...lost almost everything), I moved to Austin. I lived in Houston over 30 years and finally had enough of the floods and hurricanes. I have recently decided to move further west to Colorado. Central Texas has had increasing drought. My small family (son, daughter-in-law and grandbabies) will share a house in Colorado. It may be colder in the winter, but with rising temps, I think this is the best choice.
Good luck
Houston has ALWAYS had a flooding problem during hurricanes. The droughts we have been facing for the last century was a small amount compared to previous centuries.
@@roberthicks1612,
Exactly true. It's laughable to see this silly sheep-like behavior, especially from people who'd consider themselves 'enlightened'. Lol! I'd try to warn this person above of the changing environment, (political), in Colorado, but of course she's most likely going to contribute to that detriment. Lmao!
You know Colorado has terrible wildfires and drought right?
@@monk975 Compared to the history of the area, no it does not have that bad of ones.
The woman that owned the house I lived in for nine years in Eugene, Oregon recently sold it, citing moving herself (and her rental wealth of several houses) further north because we have been having such terrible wildfires here, so I had to move. I finally was accepted into public housing (further north in Salem) after going homeless for three months in transition, because so many people got burned out around the state from those wildfires.
Your heroes BLM and antifa set the fires. THEY WERE ARSON FIRES! There`s no way I would move north and restrict my growing season with Joe Biden causing a world wide food and energy crisis. Are you people suicidal or what?
I summer in Corvallis, and it seems like the fires tend to be further to the East and South/North. We get smoke sometimes though.
@@jsmariani4180 Last year there were two big fires that burned the entire town of Detroit Lake and almost all of Mill City outside of Salem and two more small towns up the highway from Eugene. Thousands were displaced, so I doubt you have been here the last couple of years.
Those fires were not due to climate change. They were arson.
@@montylc2001 True, a couple were set by arson, but the intensity and size of the fires are due to climate change. There have always been arson fires, but the destruction is due to climate change and stupid forestry practices.
It's so comforting to see the discussion shift from "What will we do to stop climate change?" to "What extraordinary things will people do to survive the inevitable climate change disaster that will occur because we are doing absolutely nothing about it?"

I moved from Sacramento after 10 years in California to West Virginia, and absolutely did so as a climate migrant. Fires, drought, we even had a tornado my last year there (rare for that area, but less so). I'm a native Appalachian (PA), so the transition back to the mountains has been lovely - certainly less snowy than where I grew up. But other people I've met from CA have had a terrible time. Flooding is a big issue in the region, and even folks on high hills aren't immune (the soil here is "expansive", meaning it wrecks your foundation if you're not careful and you end up with flooded basements at high elevations). Culture shock can also be significant for the unprepared. WV is a beautiful place and I love living here, but it's not for the faint of heart.

Flooding everywhere actually. Vermont, New York, Texas, Georgia, Florida, California,
will get alot colder here next few years...youve been warned
The Midwest is the safest place in The USA from climate change, I'm just curious how you manage your finances, there's a reason these states have been seeing mass emigration in recent years, lack of jobs opportunity etc. I do think we'll see places like West Virginia and Detroit being much more popular in recent years due to climate migration and they'll become what they used to be, centres of commerce that people moved to for job opportunity, security & safety. I'm not from nor do I live in The USA but I do know alot about it, because ye love your media 😂.
If I moved to The USA it'd most definitely be in a place people don't regard all to highly, (i.e) Alaska, Wyoming, Colorado, Detroit, Seattle, West Virginia etc, due to their future prospects, it'd be a good investment and they tend to have decent accessibility to nature.
I’m not sure if it was “not just bikes” or “climate town” or “oh the urbanity” but there are a few pro bicycling channels. So apparently older cities that were designed pre-car are amazing to live in and the walk ability factor and higher urban density has really good local economy benefits etc etc. But it’s much easier to retrofit a city that is already dense with better public transport etc whereas younger more sprawling cities are too spread out to make cycling feasible or trains and extensive bus routes financially viable. So the video I watched was saying that the old cities in the rust belt up north are actually the best because you could easily modernise them so that urban people don’t actually need cars.
Like if you didn’t have to drive and pay for a car & insurance & fuel (and rent a parking spot) because you can easily walk/bike/train to work and shops; maybe rent a car twice a year or catch an uber or delivery service if there’s something unwieldy to transport - well many people would prefer that. Also there are still climate issues with electric cars like rare mineral mining and where your electricity comes from so not needing a car is probably the best way to reduce your own footprint.
It’s just a nice coincidence that the cities most able to accommodate this kind of Dutch / Finnish lifeline are also likely to be less affected by climate change. Also people migrating back north might be ok with downsizing into a denser, more energy efficient, housing environment.
these arguments for urban density, fewer cars, and more cycle paths / walkability are backed up by a book/channel called strong towns where they realised that tax revenue from downtown subsidises the suburbs and that highway maintenance is not economically feasible. Old neighborhoods where people can walk do very well economically
What about the affects of solar flares and the reduction of the earth's ozone layer on global warming. Humans like to think they can fix everything, but the Sun is the likely exception.
That's a really good point.
Really interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Really good point about the older cities being able to convert to transit and walking . Suburbia on the other hand are basically subdivisions that need cars.
I don't think humans will make a conscious decision to stop polluting. Some major environmental disaster or crash must happen first to get them to act differently. It's like we've been brainwashed about cars and material goods.
Glad to see another fan of those channels
I spent years living on the Washington coast as a pump station repair mechanic and wastewater treatment plant professional. One of the last projects I worked on was installing tsunami warning sirens in my hometown. After decades of floods, mud and then tsunami concerns, I finally moved inland and upwards in elevation. I have watched asphalt streets undulating like waves on a pond, athletic field lights sway like a drunk frat boy at closing time and decided that I could handle a few more degrees of summer high temps.

I've been living in California for the last 8 years, and I am moving with my wife and baby this fall back to Maine where I grew up. There are a lot of reasons I'm moving. Climate is one of the big reasons. It's too hot for us to enjoy ourselves outside. We want a house, but the risk of fire is alarming. The other reasons are: way too crowded (I live in Orange County), the median home price is $1 million and good luck saving for that being the breadwinner, and we'd like another season besides year long summer. Just waiting for the apartment lease to end! Luckily with remote work and being in the web development field, I'm able to work from anywhere.
Good luck you'll miss sunny Cali ❤️. I moved from Maryland and went to Boston for grad school 🥶⛈️❄️

I grew up in O.C. it's no fun there anymore. I moved to desert but I'm thinking of moving more up into mountains because it is too friggin windy and hot!!!! Good luck in Maine. Stay away from coast tho cuz oceans are rising.
Water issues is why you really should be moving. It's running out and fast.
I moved from Oahu, HI in 2005 to get married and support my hubby in his new job in D.C. After he finally retired in 2017 we came back home to Hawaii. The amount of erosion along all the coast lines was shocking. The folks who are trying to stay in their area in Miami need to accept that the water levels rising are absolutely going to continue and they need to make adjustments and relocate more inland. Here it's has only continued to eat the shore lines. Many beach front property owners have put their homes on the market. Much Aloha!
I moved to the DC area (northern Virginia) in 2009 and so far it seems like moderately safe area according to the climate change risk maps. Might be a good area to remain for the foreseeable future. Hawaii wasn't part of the PBS climate risk presentation. How is it there assuming you stay away from the cost. Cost of living is pretty high there isn't it? Northern Virginia cost of living is pretty high also, but I managed to get a home out west from DC for a decent price (fixer upper).
We've spent over two decades building a life in California...and are now in the process of planning our relocation to Western NY. The smoke every year has just gotten to be too much.

Left on their own, these forests succumb to lightning strike and burn gloriously wherever the winds take them until they run out of fuel, most often when encountering the bare borders of some previous fire doing likewise. Nature could give a hoot.
Into this order steps man who stupidly builds communities in the midst of these volatile pine forests to begin a multi generational program of fire suppression as the fuel loads build. To add to the insanity, they string the whole affair up with high tension lines and transformers and wait for either a tree to fall over a high tension line or a transformer to explode under excessive load for a truly marvelous 4th of July fireworks display tossing their flaming bits far and wide. If that isn't enough they actually let these ignorant people have matches in these communities too.

Climate change is just one of the reasons I moved north; I wanted to get out of a city that felt like it was getting hotter every year and had increasing drought conditions. I can handle colder temperatures just by bundling up, but there’s a limit on how many layers I can doff whet it gets too hot.

I’ve lived my whole life in Northern California, the last 18 years with my Canadian husband, who, ironically, left Canada because it was so cold where he lived. We are now preparing to move to Vancouver, BC because it’s getting so hot where we live, it’s impossible to go outside without significant health risks.

I moved from Hawaii to Japan a few years ago and the first couple years were unbearably hot, but lately the spring, fall and winters are all cold. It’s almost April and it snowed all over the Kanto region today. The rainy season has been delayed and then lasted most of the summer the last few summers also, with mosquito swarms from March to November. In terms of the climate I think Japan has always been and probably will be more stable than other areas of the earth. That said, economically they pay like Mississippi and work you like New York. There’s a reason that the population has been, and is, declining here!!
I moved from Vancouver BC to Hokkaido. More stable and predictable weather here.
*RE: "I moved from Hawaii to Japan a few years ago and the first couple years were unbearably hot"*
Yup, that's weather alright. My family and I were stranded for 12 hours on the Shinkansen between Kyoto and Tokyo in the winter of 1985 due to near record snows. When we got home our car-port roof had collapsed due to all the snow. Highly unusual, but that's what the weather is. As Mark Twain succinctly put it more than 150 years ago: "Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get."
I cannot improve on that, can you?
P.S. Tokyo and the entire Kanto plain's summers are always hot but certainly not unbearably hot, I bared them and so did you.

In my country in the southern hemisphere, temperate zones have become sub-tropical, sub-tropical have become tropical, and tropical has become equatorial. It is a bit of a nightmare. The ability to migrate is down to one's resources and how well one can work at a distance.
This was an excellent article, thank you.
you have some mild nightmares
I think you might need to add the impact of drought into your next estimations. Scientists posit that there is desertification occurring in the southwest - so places that have been depending on Colorado river water (among other rivers) are going to have to come up with alternatives. Huge dams also provide electricity. It would be harder to live in Arizona with little or no air conditioning and water rationing. This also effects California, Nevada, Utah, and other states. Once desertification has taken hold, wild fires will subside - deserts don't burn.
Great points!
With the weather you can predict anything and it will eventually come true. How about 100 degree temperatures in Alaska - oh shit that already happened - 1915 (inside the arctic circle)
@@brucefrykman8295 outliers are fun to talk about, but the people who study climate are looking at averages. As the average weather shifts so will our biomes. Some shifts will be quite costly, but we have time to move. And hopefully the plants can move quick enough, they tend to be slow.
@@willjapheth23789 *RE "outliers are fun to talk about, but the people who study climate are looking at averages."*
"Studying" things does not mean you know anything about the things you are studying. During the Roman Empire, haruspices "studied" chicken entrails to determine future events. We may laugh about it now, but at the time haruspices were considered experts in determining the future. All they had to do was to convince the gullible majority that they knew what they were doing. "Studying" is only an activity, it'snot an accomplishment. I tutor physics as a volunteer and I can assure you that I had some truly hopeless cases who "studied" the subject endlessly, they just couldn't solve any problems without help. They should not have been taking the physics. There are many such useful courses they could have been "studying" instead that they could have actually mastered (welding, home ecc. history, health etc)
Possibly the greatest man of science who ever lived, Sir Isaac Newton, "studied' alchemy for most of his adulthood. He accomplished nothing by this "studying" Climatology as a science is not unlike alchemy. In the past climatology was considered a clerical job of collecting statistical weather data for agricultural or insurance purposes primarily. This is not science. Science must "predict" outcomes and no "climate science" has ever proven this can be done.
Climate has no averages, in order to have an average you need some numbers. If you have numbers then you must have a metric. Climate has no metric since it's a non-scientific term for the prevailing "weather" condition occurring in a general area of a general period of time. Weather is also not a scientific term, it's also a general term for an unspecified collection of atmospheric conditions occurring at a particular time and place. (dew point, pressure, wind velocity and direction, precipitation levels, growing degree days, etc. to name but a few.)
Further, the Earth has no collective weather and therefore can have no collective climate. It has untold millions of climates. You cannot add this stuff up and divide and come up with a metric by which you can measure "global climate change"
The term "climate change" as it is used today by the politicians, the press, and those in the education industry seeking grants of public money use this term to confuse the scientifically illiterate and the incurably gullible. Always follow the money for any new fear useless people are supposed to cure for us. It's quite easy to cure a disease that your client doesn't have. In the case of climate change" you consume trillions slopping at the public trough and then declared the non existent disease (climate change) "cured" (See, "Ozone Hole," "Silent Spring," & "Acid Rain" for similar scams)
@@brucefrykman8295 I see you seem to be rather stuck in a pit of smart ass skepticism. Prophecy using palms or stars or anything like that is not the scientific method so that comparison can be thrown out right away. Newton has some strange supernatural views, that does not mean scientists are injecting similar bais into climate science. Climate science is very empirical, as most science regarding heat transfer is empirical. They look at the solar input and the how the atmosphere holds heat. We know carbon gas and water make the atmosphere opaque to thermal radiation emitted by the earth and thus reduces the radiation the earth returns to space, so the earth increases in average heat until input and output are back at equilibrium.
Not sure how you can believe climate can't change on a global level unless you are completely ignorant of the ice age. The earth will still be full of biomes whether hotter or colder, but biomes will shift in position and size. If the shift happens quick enough, it will put alot of pressure on the environment and our society to adjust. It will be costly to any species that can't afford to move, or lives in a small biome, as well as humans. We'll survive of course, but we can work to reduce future suffering.
Friends of mine moved out of northern California after the Camp Fire. After having to evacuate once, and enduring hte terrible air quality, and seeing the devastation of Paradise, they suffered a form of PTSD when the weather warmed up and the start of fire season began. They sold their home, bought a trailer and moved outside of Houston, where they leave every summer and travel to better weather.
I had family leave California for the Northeast calling themselves climate refugees around 6 years ago. This was before the incessant wildfires but the droughts were already bad. There were water limits in their county and they would time their showers and collect the cold water in the beginning to use to water plants etc. They knew it would just get worse. We live in upstate NY and have heard of recent neighbors coming from Colorado and California with climate being the main reason.
Yeah...it's already started.
The elite oligarchs used to call it "Global Warming," and when that proved false, they changed it to "Climate Change." Have uou ever heard of (the real) Nikola Tesla and his technogies, and how he created the ability to engineer the weather - from draughts, to hurricanes, to fires, and even earthquakes? Yes, our government "borrowed" his discoveries upon his death, and even used it for seed clouding in Vietnam. Look into HAARP in Alaska, and chemtrails. Besides, our enemies (china, india, and russia) are now responsible for the current state of global pollution, and are still using oil and coal. The plan is to destroy America from within, and with the sheep non-the-wiser. I actually heard recently that the whole climate change hoax was started by Russia. Snd it realky seems yo be working. Your first clue was that the elite oligarchs did not allow for any debate to take place. That is how media control works -- not science.

Most of the wildfire issues, at least in Oregon and Washington come in large by the complete lack of forest management by the state. This management was done a lot by the lumber industry who took care of the forests as well as replanting.
The greenies decided to kill that industry without any way to take up forest management.
I love in Northern California and it's not that bad at all. Plenty of water, we almost always have a drought but California has alternating droughts for thousands of years and the county I live is the premier wine country in the world with plenty of redwoods, too, clean air and very rare we have water regulation. If you know where to live you can avoid wildfires. We don't have hurricanes, tornados, floods except on the Russian River (just don't live there like I did). Our county practices sustainability, stewardship of wilderness and agriculture, much of it farm-to-table and other methods of conserving water and soil. Some of the best soils in the world - terroir winemakers call it. I love living in the only State that has thousands of redwoods which are the biggest sequesters of carbon in the world. Our town has so many redwoods I'm convinced it keeps the air so fresh and the water is clean. California is a big state but people always it's the same everywhere in the state but there are hundreds of microclimates and the greatest biodiversity in the United States.
@@danm8747 Weve had a century of stupidity under Smoky the Bear trying to suppress fires and consequently there's a huge buildup of fuels. I'm not convinced logging companies do things in a responsible manner. But here in California we're studying the way the indigenous tribes managed the environment...with controlled burns for one thing. California is a fire-dependent forest system, the plants here like the redwoods are dependent on wildfire for reproducing. Not this much of course! The thousands of redwoods in California are the biggest sequesters of carbon in the world, btw.
I moved from the Midwest to the Southwest twenty years ago to get away from the tornados. I'm glad I did, since my former home has now added earthquakes due to fracking on top of tornados. So I've already moved my life to find weather more suited to how I want to live. I felt like the Southwest was perfect for me as I actually prefer to be considerably warmer, on average than 50-60 degrees! I'm sorry, thats COLD as far as I'm concerned. However, the places I've lived and live now are clearly heating up, burning up, and drying up. I find myself seriously wondering if they will still be livable in twenty years. I've read the tornado alley is moving east... nah, nothing could get me to move back to the Midwest. But I may have to go a bit further north. Sadly, what I've seen of how our U.S. society has reacted to the pandemic, with violence, selfishness and cruelty, I don't expect that we will see a better reaction to climate migrants. The lovely speech about us all working together made me laugh. I'm 62 and I've heard that speech before, during Vietnam, during 9-11, and it never happens.

Living in Southern California, I think our biggest threat is drought and water supply. Where I live, i am not so worried about wildfires as much as the idea of 10,000,000 people without enough water. It’s going to become like Mad Max in Los Angeles.
It's good that you're facing this prospect instead of doing like so many I've talked with. They nay-say the risk, which I believe is likely just an ego defense mechanism because the thought of being forced to relocate due to factors outside one's control can feel oppressive. And nobody likes to feel that way.
But, however understandable such defense mechanisms may be, they don't actually help anyone -- including the person avoiding the uncomfortable truths available to them.
Hopefully, in addition to facing these risks, you're planning *now* to do something *soon* because if you wait until everyone around you is on-board with the reality, you'll be caught in a mass exodus where real estate prices are falling precipitously, and availability elsewhere will already be more expensive than it is now. You've probably heard that old saying that _'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,'_ right? Well, in my view, the 'ounce of prevention' is a proactive relocation strategy that's implemented sooner rather than later.
I wish you well as you ponder your choices and the timing in which to execute them.
As an ex-Californian, I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but you forgot about the other overdue natural disaster so feared they've already named it the "BIG ONE" (Earthquakes, if you didn't get it).
@@Finians_Mancave In case the comment with the link gets deleted, here's the relevant bit:
_"Most people in the United States know just one fault line by name: the San Andreas, which runs nearly the length of California and is perpetually rumored to be on the verge of unleashing 'the big one.' That rumor is misleading, no matter what the San Andreas ever does. Every fault line has an upper limit to its potency, determined by its length and width, and by how far it can slip. For the San Andreas, one of the most extensively studied and best understood fault lines in the world, that upper limit is roughly an 8.2-a powerful earthquake, but, because the Richter scale is logarithmic, only six per cent as strong as the 2011 event in Japan._
...
_"If only the southern part of the Cascadia subduction zone gives way, the magnitude of the resulting quake will be somewhere between 8.0 and 8.6. That’s _*_the big one._*_ If the entire zone gives way at once, an event that seismologists call a full-margin rupture, the magnitude will be somewhere between 8.7 and 9.2. That’s the _*_very big one."_*
@@RichardHarlos Okay, thanks for that info, but I'm not sure how the nomenclature matters a bit. An 8.6 quake will be pretty damned destructive, and if you manage to survive that, the aftermath - with the fighting for limited food and water - will be pretty awful and look like one of those dystopian movies. By all accounts this quake is PAST DUE, so I don' t see how you can just write that off as a non-threat.
@@Finians_Mancave You sure have a knack for misunderstanding. I replied to Ferdinand with scientific fact. You came in as an ex-Californian to 'correct' me that there's already something called "the big one" in California.
I shared with you a credible reference so you can update your knowledge to include what I referred to and now, here you are accusing me of _"writing that off as a non-threat."_
Please work on your reading comprehension and on your communication skills. Nowhere did I ever say, or even imply, that San Andreas is a non-threat. The article makes the point that the Cascadia Subduction potential makes San Andreas look relatively weak, but it also doesn't suggest that San Andreas is a _"non-threat"._ Are you just out to find someone to disagree with, or do you sincerely not understand all this?
I'm from Southern CA and moved to lower Michigan to take care of family. When I moved, I was excited just for this reason, climate changed seemed to be actually improving this area. With that said - it is freaking scary COLD in the winter and SWEATY parts of summer. As I write this I would be much more comfortable living in Southern CA year round than here, despite the crappy summer. Here, in the winter if I get lockout of my house, I could actual die.
Point being, climate change is having an affect and it is happening faster each year. Just, please, don't move to Vermont (or Michigan etc) thinking it is all sunshine and rainbows there, it is more extreme weather than a SoCAl kid was prepared for. For me it is more dangerous to go outside here and requires more prep than it does in CA currently. Just saying.
Dude, I’m a rich,fat ,lazy man living up on palos verdes peninsula-we talked about leaving but decided to stay here and roast and die of thirst.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve been considering this.
I’m in Barstow. The heat this summer was 4 months long, with 20% humidity and 110 temps in august. Misery, pure misery. I’m moving to seattle. I’ll deal with seasonal depression better than roasting alive.
@@andrewbawden7477 😂
you dodged a bullet leaving california.
I moved away from the Sierra Foothills in California because of wildfires and heatwaves more than half the year. I got evacuated 3 times in one year. Fire came very close. We moved to Humboldt County to a community near Eureka CA high above where sea level will ever reach at 400FT. Fresh moist ocean air without smoke is nice. Temperatures are always 50F-75F. I think people are a bit too quick to dismiss the coast. Because the coast of California is mostly elevated land and will not be severely impacted the way the East Coast will be. It works. Housing is in relatively short supply here though, but I hear that is improving.
You will likely see at some point wildfires affect even the now moist cool redwood country as conditions get hotter and dry out, but this may be down the roads in a couple-few decades.
Housing will get worse because people brag about how good things are in their neighborhood. Then everyone shows up from all the slums all over planet to your neighborhood. Nice and generous of you to advertise how grand your place is. Expect several bus loads of immigrants shortly.

I’ve visited most of our 50 states but have always called Michigan home! What the study did not mention was the availability of drinking water, renewable energy, and violent crime! Here in Michigan you don’t see a rise in violent crime like many other places, , we’re expanding our wind energy project and since the Flint water crisis, we’ve taken water quality very seriously! We haven’t experienced catastrophic flooding, forest fires, drought, dangerous tornadoes, nor are we affected by hurricanes and earthquakes!
While snowstorms that impact the entire region are decreasing, lake-effect snowfall is increasing around Lakes Superior and Michigan, most likely due to warming of Lake Michigan. But the rest of the state has less snowfall and milder temperatures. We are loosing our beaches along Lake Michigan as the water is rising and waves have increased considerably. But people are not as enamored with lake front property as they once were. I used to think about retirement in the south where it wasn’t so cold and winters are shorter. But there’s no need to move as our climate is more agreeable now than ever before! The only concern I do have for the future generations in Michigan, is the protection of our natural resources and the quality the food we eat. But now that’s way off topic!
What about all the side effects of the fracking?
So cold 8 months out of the year...
I was done after 3 years
@@caribrown8554 8 months out of the year? Did you live in the upper peninsula? Even then, 8 months is quite a stretch unless you consider anything non-tropical to be cold. In southeast Michigan, I'd agree that 4 months/year (Dec-March) are pretty cold. That said, it's been what I consider to be too cold to go outside about 7 total days in the 6 years I've lived here. It definitely takes some time to get the right winter gear (i.e. down coat, insulated boots). It's important to remember that just because it's cold outside doesn't mean you have to be cold yourself. I lived in the southwestern US most of my life, and I can honestly say that extreme heat kept me indoors more than cold weather does.
Yes, Detroit is so safe!!! LOL.
Our city in Australia, went from one of the sunniest to now the wetest, it's raining practically every day and moss growing on driveways and on sidewalks, it'a crazy. cyclones have gotten a lot closer too
That's better than having bone dry no rain drought condition.
Dam 🦫 that’s extreme is a short time! Thanks for reporting that. Where exactly you speaking of AU?

That is why we need to protect the earth. Let us plant more native trees to promote biodiversity and hopefully find way to totally transfer to use of natural and renewable energy from fossil fuel which contributed a lot of damage due to emission
I left Arizona and moved to the East Coast due to wildfires. I was also watching my neighbors having to drill deeper wells each year and the winter snowpacks becoming less and less... much less than they ever were in my childhood. As Phoenix and the California desert cities continue to grow it's only adding more demand for water and the writing is on the wall.
Very smart move.
I was born in Los Angeles in 1950, and I've lived in the San Fernando Valley (northern L.A.) since 1953. I've seen local temperatures rise, though part of that is due to local effect of increasing pavement--roads and parking lots. When I was a kid, most of the Valley was farmland, orchards, and horse ranches. Today there's hardly any land not covered with houses, apartments, commercial buildings, and especially pavement. I'm looking north, not so much for global climate change, as for local weather change and crowding. And, of course, drought, which IS from global climate change.
drought is from global climate change? so what caused California to be a desert before man? NOT global climate change?
@@RobertMJohnson The drought affecting Los Angeles is not primarily local. Most of our water comes, and has long come, from upstate, primarily eastern Sierra Nevada. Drought in Northern CA affects L.A. heavily. Although L.A. doesn't receive significant water from the Colorado Riveror the Feather River Project, other Southern and Central CA areas do, and that affects us as well, as water is fungible.
@@CAMacKenzie 1. you've told me NOTHING i don't know.
2. the west was a fucking desert before any humans showed up. HAVE YOU ASKED YOURSELF WHY THAT IS?
2nd question: have you asked yourself why the climate should provide the 75,000,000 or so people in the Western US more water? because you FEEL like it should? what level would be ok with you? and why do you think what you think is somehow "right" ?
Yes!! In Houston a lot of money is spend on infrastructure to ensure that there won't be extreme flooding.
There's too much concrete!! No where for the water to go...

I am old enough to likely not need to flee due to climate change in my lifetime (unless the Greenland or Antarctic ice collapses), but am not sanguine about this at all. My old home on a cove of a tidal estuary in New England is perched 50’ above current high water mark, and I’ve seen that mark rise and the steep shore undercut by the tides. The course of the seasons have changed and not only storms and severe weather events are stronger. The wind roars through now. Roars. Trees fall that stood for decades or centuries. Plants that used to thrive struggle and die. I am the last of my family in this place we came nearly four centuries ago, and I’d like to think we have been good stewards of it. Overall though, we have not been good stewards of the earth. I fear for what those who come after face, and what we pass them as an inheritance.
Unfortunately, being a good steward today is next to impossible. We all need to stop polluting, first step is stop driving cars . Good luck with that one...
Sources I trust imply 2040+ will likely be severe. I'll be quite old. Thanks for the share 400 years, wow. Take care!
You have undoubtedly been a good steward of the land. The storms are not caused by your lack of stewardship, but by a 12,000-year catastrophe that the Earth has withstood many times-12,000, 24,000 years ago. 36,000 years ago, 48,000, 60,000, 72,000, 94,000, and 108,000 years ago--the layers of rocks, the geology has recorded at least these. It's another cycle like day and night, seasons, rinse and repeat...Humans, except the Neanderthals, have survived all this cataclysm, starting civilizations almost from scratch. More info in my 2nd book to be published in September--Quantum Dreaming-The Train Is on the Tracks based on the further research I did because of what I learned in my 1st book, Dancing a Quantum Dream.
All the carbon dioxide that was released from your tailpipe, from the ships that you've traveled on, from the jet aircraft and from all the materials that you picked up from the grocery store or from the hardware store all emitted CO2 into the atmosphere. Your legacy is CO2 like the Legacy CO2 of billions of humans will stay in the atmosphere for up to 100 years. Carbon dioxide regulates the temperature of the planet. If CO2 did not exist planet Earth would be a complete and Dead Planet full of ice. It would be snowball Earth. CO2 is necessary to trap some of the heat in the atmosphere to make earth habitable. 185 parts per million CO2 is what caused the last ice age 16,900 years ago. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution man has been burning coal in natural gas and that releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. CO2 started going up in the late 1800s and into early 1900s and it has continued with the global increase of population. The maximum level Earth can be considered safe is 350 parts per million. That. In Earth's history occurred in 1990. It's been increasing ever since that point at a rate of 2.5 parts per million per year. Presently CO2 levels are now 420 parts per million per year. Global deforestation has been rampant. Normally a healthy Forest will absorb 1/3 of all carbon dioxide on planet Earth. Unfortunately the global Forest has been decimated and only half of the Boreal and tropical forests are left on Earth. Agriculture normally replaces it in agriculture can only absorb 150th of the carbon dioxide of Earth. Scientists are saying that Earth is entering a sixth math Extinction. There are two mass extinctions underway. One is from overheating of Earth and the second is through biodiversity loss. Let me ask you something in the 1950s or the 1960s or the 1970s or 1980s every time you went on a long drive did you notice a big change in the amount of bug splatter on your windshield? What about the 1990s or 2000s as a getting less and less overtime? That's most likely insect mass extinction and it's severely occurring in the Southwest United States where it's losing its water.
@@thetechnicanwithaheart1682 Earth is barely coming out of an ice age and yet the sun is about to micronova, sending Earth into another ice age. The Earth magnetosphere has been weakening, but we didn't discover that until very recently. Our shield has been getting weaker, so that the Magnetic Poles are moving rapidly to their previous locations they left 12,000-years ago. It's a sun cycle we haven't experienced in recent times, but the experience of our past civilizations have only been able to warn us by the only means they knew, but we have dismissed them as fanciful stories, myths. They developed Mathematics, geometry, science, but we question their intellectual capacity as though they are somehow superior to them, our genetic past. They were survivors of a catastrophe we will be experiencing as well. But they knew how to hunt and gather their own food, without a shopping cart or a complex technological society to support them. How well will you manage when you are on your own after the micronova burns and crushes your home, neighborhood, your place of work and leaves you to invent your world all over again. When the sun changes from a merry yellow most of the day to a blazing white, you have no idea what happened. You dismiss or don't even notice the first sign after the Carrington Event of 1859. Google it while you still can! I barely mentioned it in "Quantum Knowing: A Train Is on the Tracks" to be published in September. There was too much other information I needed to make available to help an unaware species get ready for a potential extinction event that is already upon us. My compass is already off by almost 15 degrees of true north after I set the official declination for my area. Another sign is the effect a weakened magnetosphere has on mental and psychological stability.
I live in Michigan which I believe to be one of the best locations. We have the Great Lakes, which means a significant reserve of water, are far from the coasts and out of earthquake territory.

My husband, myself, our 2 horses, 2 dogs and 4 cats just relocated to Vermont from the North bay in California…(Santa Rosa) and right in time to avoid yet another fire season that looks to be pretty tough again. We evacuated twice because of wildfires and just could not bear the stress of constantly being prepared to evacuate with the horses and the terrible air quality that often plagues the area for sometimes weeks at a time because of the smoke… Water scarcity and anxiety about hay availability was another factor…still linked to climate change.

Yeah. It's beautiful out west but the fires are a bit much.
I commend your courage for making such a big move involving so many animal friends! I wonder how you are settling in with the big culture shift. I'm a lifelong Californian, but I, too, am so tired of having fire-anxiety. We are out here in Eastern Contra Costa County. I know someone else who moved her family from Santa Rosa to Maine and she says she is enjoying the change.
right there with you. I was ready to move to California beginning of summer 2021.
three wildfires affected me in California in the next month. I like air to breath.
That was a looooooooooong drive!
We may need to use all of these “perfect” places to grow our food.
Indoor vertical farming is going to become more prevalent in the future along with lab grown meat. Ultimately, access to water is going to become a primary driver and traditional farming locations could change.
@@greenfoxes5903 meat is totally unnecessary and a huge part of the problem.
@@steviesevieria1868 Almost any argument against meat, although currently valid under the current model, falls apart when you consider growing it in a lab: Animal suffering disappears, overuse of antibiotics vanishes, the need for insane amounts of water becomes obsolete, methane pollution is nil since there is no need for a stomach.
All that's left is transportation cost and its emissions. By the time this kind of meat cultivation is perfected and costs drop down to profitable levels, we should have been able to address some of that. We evolved as omnivores and there is a psychological and cultural component to meat consumption as well as an emotional need for some. That is not going to go away any time soon. This is why we need to both create meat alternatives and develop a lab grown solutions as well.

Gotta love the ocean level affect maps. They imply by color and intent that these are the areas that will be covered with water. The problem is, for WA state they colored a huge part that is all mountains. I presume they just took the outline of counties and colored them if any part of that county was affected which given WA long slim counties that have a small part by the ocean and a majority of the county at much higher elevations, it ends up being quite misleading. The maps have the entire olympic mountain range underwater, which if that happened would be about 8000 ft meaning most of the US would be under water.
Thought same. I'm on the edge of the implication in N. central Fla at 140 feet above sea level. If rising tides become an issue for me.....
Maybe it's the same map artists who make all the inconsistent maps of the "earth from space" 😂
Global warming, it's all fake.
It's after the great earthquake obviously. Because the people that made this video know everything.

Maybe its because the entire thing is complete bullshit?
We choose to settle in upstate NY away from the lake to reduce snow events, on a lower hill between two higher ones along the Allegany fingers of the south towns. Tornadoes which are more common than before fly over us and rising waters flow down from us. Snow is half between what Buffalo gets and the southern tier which is not so high, and much easier to deal with, and we all face the same cold temps when the polar vortex comes down, for us it just means less snow as the lake freezes.
I was in New Orleans 4 months after Katrina. I saw a 75 foot shrimp boat taking up one of four lanes of a US highway. You don't forget this sort of thing.
I did not know that shrimp grew that big - everything in USA has to be the biggest eh?
I moved from South Florida to Upstate NY (usually its the other way around) Florida has changed a lot since what it used to be. People are always so surprised by my decision to. "Why would you move from there?" (Upstate is gorgeous btw) honest answer is I see a more stable future.
Smart move ❤️
Florida is the worst place to live, not only because of climate change but because they are ruled by despicable hateful right wing bigots and racists. However it won't matter much in about 10-15 years, once the Arctic and Antarctic ice is gone humans will be extinct shortly after...and living in Vermont (or anywhere else) will not save !
BTW if anyone in the US thinks that they will be safe from climate change they have no idea what they are in for. When we begin to experience ecological and economic collapse in a few short years, all of these right-wing gun nuts will lose their tiny little minds when they realize they've been lied to for years by their fascist corporate whore Republicunts.

🆘 (CNN) April 2, 2022 In Antarctica the last six months were the coldest on record.
"For the polar darkness period, from April through September, the average temperature was -60.9 degrees Celsius (-77.6 degrees Fahrenheit), a record for those months," the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said.
The last six months is also the darkest period at the South Pole, which is where the name polar darkness (also called polar night)comes from. Here, the sun sets for the last time around the spring equinox, and does not rise again until near the autumn equinox six months later.
For the entire Antarctic continent, the winter of 2021 was the second-coldest on record, with the "temperature for June, July, and August 3.4 degrees Celsius (6.1 degrees Fahrenheit) lower than the 1981 to 2010 average at -62.9 degrees Celsius (-81.2 degrees Fahrenheit)," according to a new report from the NSIDC. So much for liberal democrats like Al Gore, John Kerry, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, AOC all preaching the Global warning nonsense and we all need to buy $50,000 dollar electric cars and install over priced solar on our homes.
30° and snowing. Global warming is really bad.🤣🤣🤣
I moved from Central FL to SW Virginia. The hurricanes and tropical storms were stressing me out so badly, and they were just becoming so common, unlike when I was growing up. The worry over flooding was major, but even though our house had not flooded, the power outages that lasted for days and weeks, the loss of water service, the loss of sewage service, having no gas, grocery stores having no cold items, having trees come down and power lines draped across my yard like Christmas garland for a month…it was too much.
I now live at 1300 ft elevation, and there is no possibility my home could flood. I have enough land to grow food, I have 15 chickens and a rooster so I can always have eggs and a source to keep the flock going. We do get the tropical storm/hurricane remnants, but they are weak. We do lose power, but I would like to get solar power set up. Tornadoes are very rare here, whereas in FL I literally had a water spout almost tip my car over with me in it, and had two pass over us prior to touch down. We get some lightening here, but unlike in FL, it isn’t hitting my house (once), blowing out transformers on poles (10 tens minimum), starting trees on fire less than 50 feet away from me (4 times), or striking the car in front of me (once)!
Right now I’m sitting here listening to a wild turkey up on the ridge, and every night I hear the deer passing through. I have a deep well, but also have a large pond so we could boil water, and it is stocked with edible fish. I feel calmer and more secure here.
There were many reasons that I left FL, but, yes…I do consider myself having left due to climate concerns as it was a major factor both in leaving and in my criteria for the home I purchased. My county here is very progressive in addressing climate related issues, too. It’s so nice to live someplace where the government hasn’t literally banned the words “climate change”.

YES, I MOVED OUT OF CHICHGO IN 79, 10 FEET OF SNOW, MOVED TO FLORIDA IN 80, NOW 100 DEGREES EVERY DAY FROM JUNE TO OCTOBER
I also used to get sunburnt through my shirt swimming as a kid in Ontario Canada over march break. This year it snowed. It goes both ways. Thing is when they spray chemicals into the clouds to manipulate weather, its anyones guess. California sprays to induce more condensation to reduce drought. All of these things drastically effect the weather. The worlds wealthy who are profiting off of carbon taxes and alternative energy sources would have to believe you deive your car to work though. Every country in the world could go net 0% except for India and China, and it still wouldnt make a difference. Us "developed" countries that "try to keep our carbon emissions down" just buy everything from china and india so we pin the emissions on them. Its the biggest wealth transfer from the tax payers to the worlds elite in history and people are too stupid to see whats going on. Just a bunch of idiots who do whatever the government tells them to do because they think that they care. Couldnt be farther than the truth.
I grew up in Illinois in the 60s during a mini ice age. When the snow was piled up to the street signs and you had to count houses to get home. This is a temporary warming Trend that will probably go back to the Ice Age again it's a very very tough place to live physically.
Two of the best friends I've ever had, fled to Colorado from Mississippi after Katrina. Seeing that map of the Gulf Coast - watching the town where I went to high school basically slide underwater - that hit me pretty hard. Knowing it'll happen in my lifetime is scary. But my family is among those who probably won't flee, because we won't have the option. We're simply not wealthy enough to relocate, on any time scale. Most of my relatives live either in the same area, or farther south; and the ones that aren't in this state are very far away - in western Texas and Arizona. Not tenable options even IF they had the room to take us in, which they don't. With my husband on dialysis, and disability, we MIGHT be able to get some kind of help sooner...but not unless and until a disaster has already struck. It's just how the system treats the underprivileged, and the reasons for that are complicated, as is any possible solution to it.
So mostly we just try to keep prepared, try to keep exploring options and updating information as we go, and hold out hope that we can survive what's coming.
Thanks for sharing that. Equity in extreme weather preparedness and adaptation is something we need to address as a society. We dive a bit deeper into it in our next episode about sea level rise and climate gentrification. I hope you'll stick around for it.

I'm truly sorry that you cannot flee the cause of your misery, think of what those Ukrainians are going through!
However, hurricanes are a constant feature of the Atlantic, Gulf, and the Caribbean. The Galveston hurricane of 1900 was the worst natural disaster to ever hit the USA. The oil companies did not cause this. Katrina wasn't even an also-ran as far as hurricane strength and intensity goes. It was, however, a man-made disaster: it was caused by 1) The Army Corps of Engineers, 2) Local inept and corrupt politicians and 3) The corrupt and cowardly police they hired. Oil companies and coal miners had nothing whatsoever to do with it. In fact, they all helped mitigate the disaster.
Instead of being in fear, be informed. PBS Is ran by the government that if it was really concerned about climate disaster could have done something forty-five years ago. Research the independent scientists who no longer believe the doomsday scenarios. None of the super rich are moving away from the coasts. Maybe they know something you don't.
David Pogue wrote an informative and sometimes humorous book on this subject titled “How to Prepare for Climate Change”, but he also considers water availability and air quality due to wild fires. His suggestions for where to live also take into consideration whether a city has the infrastructure to tolerate growth. In California even if your not in a wildfire area you can have weeks, if not months of air filled with smoke and ash that is unsafe to breathe.

I moved from the Canadian Prairies (perpetual drought, extreme cold in winter, extreme heat in summer, and not much in between) to the Inland coast of northern BC where the rainforest is still intact. I just can not get over how moderate everything is here. Southern BC is a disaster between the floods and the fires but up here it is so stable.
The Prairies have always had extreme cold and heat, but every year it just gets worse and I am so lucky I was able to choose to leave before a true disaster forced me to.
Ya, but won't you miss the mosquitos?
@@markdavis8888 oh yeah I just miss them so much
I got to go from Alberta to Victoria for school and got to experience a winter with no snow, and like the other comment said no mosquitos. Was wonderful, by the time I was leaving they started to get lots of snowfall for the first time in over a decade like all the residents said. And now snow fall is a staple every winter.
@@frederickodiase971 Yeah Victoria really got dumped on a couple days ago. Snow where I am is normal and we're just getting our first big snowfall of the year now
Another area being ignored by many of these climate refugee videos are the Appalachian mountains. This area stretching from northern GA up to ME is inland enough to avoid rising sea levels. It has elevation to keep cool (even in the south) and geographical features that offer protection from violent storms. You would only need to be conscious of valley flooding and select your homesite accordingly.
Oddly enough if I even won the lottery that's where I'd look to buy land.
High ground might get crowded plus food and continuity of safety for people in dire need of a space. Horrors of it, best not get too much thinking on it if you are not able to,do@nothing about you situation. Just get higher now.
The northern suburbs and exurbs of Atlanta are seeing a ton of growth, a perfect example of this. I wouldn't be surprised if Appalachian cities such as Chattanooga TN, Asheville NC, Charleston WV, and even Pittsburgh PA grow a lot in the next few decades
You are brainwashed by the media
Central Appalachia especially. Further south and the weather will become too hot and dry and unfavorable for agriculture. I live in the perfect spot for climate change, which will become the southernmost habitable place in the US. (Eastern Kentucky)
I moved from San Diego California area to Tucson Arizona 3 years ago and was not aware of climate information.
I have become disabled and have no way to move again realized I'm in a death trap. It's going to be 110 this weekend and I'm scared that Black outs are coming. Scared to death.🥵

@@karenl.1695 I wish I could move I have no money being disabled and on Social Security
I'm a retiree who's also stuck here in Tucson. Been looking for an area to move to with plenty of water and is survivable if the grid goes down and the semis stop rolling. Needing to be near public transportation has complicated the search significantly. Right now Oregon, Washington, and Vermont are my favorites. I've never been to the Great Lakes region.
2 years later.. how are you doing?
Have you checked on this area still this video was released? They have had three devastating flooding events since then, two exactly one year apart on July 10th in 2023 and 2024.
I live very close to the Great Salt Lake, which is drying up and uncovering a bunch of arsenic laced dust. So I'd like to move away from the dying lake before that becomes a more pressing issue.

This was well done and informative. Would be great to get a 2023 updated version. My location/state is on the receiving end of perpetual inbound mass migration due to financial problems faced by those fleeing other states. The new arrivals, by the thousands, are the future of humanity on this planet. Meaning: Everyone will have to migrate constantly throughout their lifetime. When it's my turn, I pray my new neighbors are as welcoming as I have been to those crowding into my city.....😱
This is something I think about ALL the time. Especially when it comes to access to abundant fresh water.
A few years ago my partner and I moved to the Central Highlands of Tasmania from Brisbane, Queensland (in Australia) to avoid the inevitable effects of climate change. It was already getting too hot to live there, and this year the city suffered from the most severe floods it has ever experienced. Sadly the government refuses to acknowledge the link between these extreme weather events and climate change, and continues increasing subsidies for the industries responsible for the majority of carbon and methane emissions.
Break off your romance with U.S. We're no good for you...😍
The suns activity has a lot to do with climate change . Listen to solar experts. They can even predict the weather by the solar activity. According to ice core samples scientists have pulled from the arctic, we have less carbon in the atmosphere than the planet had in the past. Plants need carbon to breath. If we keep cutting down our rain forests and jungles, the entire planet will turn into a desert. Our cars and industry has very little to do with carbon being pumped into the atmosphere. It simply isn’t enough. As a matter of fact, if we had more green, we would have to pump more carbon into the atmosphere to sustain them. The way things are going, the planet is going to continue to try and correct what’s happening by introducing extreme weather alongside solar activity giving the weather a steroid push.
Carbon is NOT the villain the alarmists claim. Even worse, it’s based on faulty science. Its focus on CO2 make you and me the enemy because we exhale CO2 with each and every breath. And we need the success of plants because we depend upon them for food and oxygen, warmth in winter, construction, and other wood products. And spaceweather science has shown that CO2 is NOT a factor in solar forcing in climate. The science proves that CO2 levels do NOT affect global warming because the AGW global-warming enthusiasts fail to apply well-known solar- particle datasets, using irradiance instead, failing to note earth's weakening magnetic field, which modulates interactions between earth and sun, because of their failure to understand newly understood paths of solar forcing. Their bias and ignorance are distributed to a society misled by a pseudoscience political narrative.
@@allenheart582 Ok Trumpo. What "science" are you quoting? Your ignorant rant is political, a defense of human caused pollution. The planet will survive, but our species may go extinct with your Republican point of denial. Now go away troll boy.
But haven’t the governments been bragging about controlling the weather? So, does that mean they are already in control of the climate and this is a bunch of BS? Thoughts?
One important element: far, far less progeny will definitely be a great assist.
Not from a geopolitical standpoint. You’re just asking the people in Africa and China and India to take us over.
I recently moved out of California after experiencing 10 atmospheric rivers. I was during the storms pumping away from my house 10 gallons of water per minute for about 8hrs+ each storm. Luckily my home had very minor damage but that was enough for me.

I moved to PA, from OK, because I could no longer deal with the 100+ weather that seemed to last longer and longer. when I was a kid it was 3-6 weeks a year with breaks between. the year I left Ok had 100+ temps for 13 weeks straight.
We've had pretty mild summers in East Texas the past few years I feel like.
@@willjapheth23789 I'm in the deep south too and it's not been as bad here either...I can remember it being a lot drier and hotter and it's been nice here to me..More windy lately which isn't the norm here that I've noticed.We usually only get that in winter. Have had a few strong storms too but we always get a few strong storms. Tornadoes are the biggest threat here! Having a underground cellar isn't a bad idea for anyone in tornadic regions!

Climatologists have nothing to do with this alleged problem. This situation is for Atmospheric scientists! Aka, Meteorologists. I am a Meteorologist.
Climatologists study the history of climates, in an attempt to predict future climate. The alleged problem involves added CO2 which changes the ATMOSPHERE, which means this is not a climatology problem.
Stop believing this nonsense. I am a expert in this field, easily in the top 3% of all scientists studying AGW.

It’s fairly easy to be more precise about this. Michigan is, as most everyone here agrees, the safest state, but only one of the great lakes will be able to provide the air and water quality necessary to sustain safe living conditions as our climate buckles. The south shore of Lake Superior, where the summer temps average about 75 degrees, is your answer. The safest place to live in the United States will be Marquette Michigan.
I am from Michigan and have figured we are enjoying the most important resources. Being used to the temperature changes and knowing how to deal with them makes this area the wisest home choice I can think of.
Heat. Heat makes me want to move. I am perfectly okay with temperatures reaching a couple degrees under 0 on the Fahrenheit scale, but the constant 90 degree weather for most of the year in Florida is just too much. Combined with the risks of flooding and hurricanes, it's past time to leave. Sadly, I will have to avoid wildfires and severe drought too, so that rules out even northern California. I am already preparing to move several states northward or to Canada or Europe. I am terrified that immigration will be even tighter the longer I wait.
U want cold inner Canada is The place.
Alotbo for more qffordable housing up there since the Winters are unbearable. Nice Summers of course but it,s burning too.
Locate where.u can escape fire. Water bodies, sand, rock.
Check out the temperature range in Hawaii. I moved here from New Mexico twelve years ago. My living room is a lanai.
Many places in Europe have bad wildfires too!
Northern state's and Canada's winters are still brutal. Last year in Troy Montana a good 4 to 6 feet of snow stayed on the ground for months. I chose the Appalachian mountains and a rural area of south eastern KY because it may be below 32 F and even on occasion reach a couple degrees below 0 F in winter, the winters are still not harsh. This last winter we got a whole 8 inches of snow in one storm and it was all over the news because it was considered a major, heavy snowfall! It seldom snows more than a couple inches and it melts in a day or two. There are four distinct seasons here. Only summer is hot and humid. I can deal with only one season of it! Yes, you do have to be willing to put up with the threat of severe thunderstorms and even tornadoes, but in the county I'm in the last tornado that caused any damage was back in the 70s. No guarantees on complete safety from weather anywhere you go. Now if you can't manage being outside of a major metropolis, then Lexington, KY may be a good choice for you.
Don't forget, Europe this Summer has had weeks of record breaking high temps and the place has a crapload of HUGE wildfires! People are dying all over the place from the heat. Air conditioning is practically unheard of there because it has never been needed. Europe, unfortunately is no longer a very good choice. It keeps getting worse every year.

I currently live within 2 miles of the coast of Connecticut. We have seen more wet weather in the past few years. Our Spring season now lasts longer. As of today 4/27/22 we are still having weather overnight down to the low 40's and some frost warnings overnight.
Our fear is of the rising sea levels. Twice in the past year I've watched the high tide flooding into our yard in just minutes. We are in a flood plane and we are getting emergency warnings when even moderate size storms are predicted. We have lived here for 6 years and the warnings started just this winter.
Our family is planning to migrate within 2-3 years. We are planning a move inland. Our current plan is to South or North Carolina with a plan for a family homestead. Our lives will be dramatically changed but with Grandparents to grandchildren all moving together with a shared goal, incredible love we are all READY to be there together.
@Kimberly Krupke That sounds like a great plan! I wish you all great success with it :-)!
God Bless us all
here in inland CT as of 8/12/22, there’s a drought and we just got out of a nearly two week long heat wave. This winter didnt have as much snow as previous years, but it did have a lot of ice. Climate change is definitely noticeable. I’ve also noticed a lot more tornadoes in the state over the last few years, had to go down to the basement for one.
I’m planning to stay in the northeast for most of my life though - I like snow and hate the heat and humidity.
also, I wish you all the best with moving!
Here in Ionia, MI the grand river has been flooding the fairgrounds for years! In the northern suburbs of the town where I live there was a flash flood that flooded half of my front yard
I’m in North Carolina right now… but going outside for 4 months out of the year is literally unbearable. 88-92 degrees every day with 95+% humidity… every single day.
I’d take 105 degrees and 10% humidity over 90 and 95% humidity, ANY DAY!
When a billion people from the equatorial regions show up, and can legitimately blame northern countries who enjoyed a high energy consumption lifestyle, can they really be denied entry? Given that reality, shouldn’t we be planning now for a unprecedented human migration on scales that have never occurred? Specifically, to Nordic countries, Russia, Canada and the US? We keep getting into problems because we fail to anticipate and plan ahead, but here we have a few decades to build the infrastructure required, and prepare systems to process and accommodate what will otherwise be potentially destabilizing…
The US will never allow massive migration from equatorial regions. Neither will Russia
Yep, blame the U.S. for its "high energy consumption" without even considering the billions of dollars made here and sent to those countries, not to mention the BILLIONS OF TONS of food we send to those countries also!!! So, let's bring in BILLIONS of illegal immigrants so we can ALL enjoy a "high energy consumption lifestyle" and drain ALL of our resources!!!! Yep...makes more sense now that I spelled it out!!!!!

@@gailandrus7667 It is a question of quantity. The US is responsible for most of what is in the atmosphere, and continues to add the most per person. Foreign aid doesn’t change that. Dollars do not redeem you from that fact or reverse the damage. It is still up there, capturing heat, and will be for hundreds of years. And it is growing exponentially at precisely the growth rate of the economy. And when it makes the homes of others unliveable, no one will “bring in illegal anything”, legitimate refugees will go where there is life. At some point Americans will try to cross the Canadian border. And if by that point, you still consume carbon energy then god help whoever is left.

I have dreamed about leaving WI and its hard winters for years. I kept watching the weather across the US and reading about cost of living and medical care, etc. Now the last parent has passed and the country has gone down the sewer. I think I will stay where I am because it is what I know and reasonably safe from natural disasters. It is still possible to get tornados, and possibly flooding, but the so called safest place in America just got flooded. Since retirement, we can stay home if it is too cold and icy. Doctor appts can be changed. We always have some groceries on hand. We will just hibernate if necessary.
I relocated to Vermont based on my intuition. I had no idea it was safe from Climate Change. I left the Pacific NW to avoid the big earthquakes that are coming.
I also moved out of the PacNW bc of the imminent major earthquakes that are coming.
That's strange to me as it could be hundreds of years. It's not clockwork. It's a 30% chance over the next 50 years.
Interesting. But you're now in snow and ice 6-8 months/year, a climate catastrophe in your personal situation. Hawaii is by far the best climate in the USA. Plus they have water. Just do not live on the beach, which you cannot afford anyway.
I haven't moved because of climate change, but my wife and I did change our long term plans for moving to Oregon.
To me, the drought and wildlife risks are too big to make sense.
I live in the great lakes region and didn't come here because of climate, but in large part I'm staying because of it. I'm not far from a large source of fresh water and both our temperature and precipitation range are fairly middle-of-the-road, giving us room to go in either direction with minimal impact.
I'm totally armchair scienceing, but I think about it quite often and I feel like I'm a prepared as I can be in terms of location at least

My cousin moved from CA to get away from the constant smoke from the wildfires, as he had to be med-evacced a number of times. He moved to Florida. Sort of trading one climate risk for another. He believes he will have to move again in 10-15 years as the storms and heat get worse. I’ve lived all over, including CA, Seattle and Nevada. Nevada got too hot for me so I moved back to my native Indianapolis a couple of years ago. I think it is fairly safe here from climate risk, though apparently not a climate haven as depicted in this video. Vermont seems nice. 😅
I moved from Minnesota to Arkansas 20 years ago. It's hot in the summer but the winter's are, for the most part, very mild. It is a beautiful state and it's affordable.
One of my closest friends moved from Chico, California after a few years of wildfires (including the Camp Fire, which reached within 1 mile of their home). Her family was sick of the worry and the smoke and poor air quality. They moved all the way to Sarasota Springs, NY and consider themselves climate refugees. I live in Colorado where the surprise Marshall fire wiped out two of my friend’s homes. I’m super worried about wildfire and drought, both of which already impact us.
I also live in Upstate New York, but closer to Pennsylvania. I have been considering moving to the Southeast to escape the cold weather, snow, short fall and winter days, and clouds. But perhaps Upstate is a climate haven. Not sure. Did they have family in Sarasota Springs?
@@ts214121 Yes, their daughter in laws parents live there. Here in the SW, water is becoming more scarce, so its definitely not a climate haven, and with the continued warming, may be completely unbearable during summer months, so choose wisely
Sadly, the drought would have happened regardless. It is what happens when you have too many people using the same source of water. The southwest is a desert with a large river system that is sucked dry before it even reaches the ocean. If the most of the population in the cities of the southwest all moved to the northeast then the Colorado River would likely recover in a few years, or we could just build a bunch of desalinization plants and refill all the lakes in the great basin. That would create a nice source of water and cool the southwest quite a bit.
You mean Saratoga Springs, NY? Sarasota Springs is in Florida. Saratoga Springs is a beautiful place on the south end of Lake George and the edge of the Adirondacks. What a great place to live, even without climate change.
California's Central Valley has always sucked beyond belief, but NY? You like snow and ice 6-8 months/year? Screw that. Hawaii is the best USA place.
I'm a Massachusetts native living in Atlanta, GA. I definitely feel the effects of climate change. I'm looking elsewhere for my next home. With the growing importance of food sustainability & independence, moving to a location that is beneficial for crops is a must.
Climate changes very slowly. In the 1970s, it was abnormally cold, leading people to warn of an impending ice age. Lol.
The dinosaurs felt it too and that was only 65 million years ago, but the earth has been here for 4,500 million years or if you prefer 4.5 billion.
Grand rapids mi! Winters suck here, but got better in past years. And no 100-degree weather. Almost zero tornadoes, no fires or floods
Thank you for that list. This concern is definitely part of why I moved where I did. As much as I love my hometown, and the ocean, I appreciate other parts of nature as well, and found a place that's safer for me and my family.
I would like to move due to my fear of wildfire, but where do you go? There needs to be abundant fresh water, the ability to produce your own food, elevation to protect from flooding. I live in a rural area of the Pacific NW. I feel like my best choice is to just try to make my home fire resistant, since I already have the elevation, water and temperate climate(at least for now).
