Americans Moving To Places More Resistant To Climate Change

46 Comments

1. The western United States has always experienced periods of great fires and drought. The climate always changes. Period.

2. yep.

3. More like "people are fleeing California"

4. California's excessive pushing the Green policy is causing the fires. I lived there in 1970-80. No fires. Poor management of natural resources.

5. We need to make more real changes……these people are ridiculous……more green jobs,vote better realize that it is real

6. Climate change is real…..wake up

7. I live in California I can verify it sucks.I grew up here in my sixties now, saw it go from a centrist state to a so called socialist paradise what a laugh. One Party rule never works anywhere. Feel sorry for these areas where they migrate too. I'm stuck here because my wife of 4 decades does not want to leave.

8. Living in Sierra Nevada's fresh water still having seasons year round still, sipping tea laughing in 50 to 100 years what these people or children's children will do or where will they live. Your multi million dollar homes wont mean anything if you cant survive there. 😂

9. The kids are stressed because she told them she “might be dead now and they would go live with family members”??? Way to pump up the drama Mom, Geez. They’re little kids. Actually I don’t believe she actually said that, I bet she was encouraged to dramatize things for the news story, like climate change needs to be embellished! These news outlets really are something else.

10. So, I keep seeing all these videos about the Great Lakes, or adjacent regions, being the go to for climate change refugees. But won't those places flood and, eventually, dry up just like Lake Mead and the Colorado River?

11. NE is suffering from a drought too
    It's only time

12. 1:25 – Feudalistic society is on its way to the USA, Canada and GBR.

13. 1:21 – World Economic Forum stooge.

14. Stay out of Texas unless you a baddie !

15. When I was young we never had an air conditioner and it was ok. Sometimes it would get kind of hot but nothing too bad. We would just open the doors. Now the summer time in California is way too HOT. I had to give in and buy an AC because I got dehydrated and I was realized that it was getting worse every year. I am still pretty young so I am very concerned with how hot it has become. I live in the valley and there use to be lots of trees and flowers and now I see we are turning into a desert.

16. Don't talk only about the hotness, the winter is also getting extremely cold.

17. I'm staying put in Oregon. We are a coastal region, with a cooler climate, plenty of mountain snow, rivers, lakes and streams everywhere! Our state produces tons of fruit, vegetables, grain, seafood (Pacific ocean) game meat, farm meat and drinking water. However, we are becoming overpopulated very quickly, our weather is hotter and more aggressive than usual, so we have lots of forest fires which effects those living in rural areas but not the suburbs or city folks.

    I'm sure we will see a dramatic decline to our environment, just like everywhere else but it will just take a little longer. Only the wealthy, upper middle class and middle working class can survive here. If you are low income, poor and struggling, this is NOT the place for you whatsoever!….

18. Prior to the last ten years, there were fires in the West, but not like this. Now, the west is heating up, burning up in fires, and running out of water. RE the heat, one thing I've noticed is that it doesn't cool off at night like it used to. Also, we now have fires in our county every year, and the smoke has lasted for months at times. And, while you can rebuild after fire, if you can afford insurance and if you have the money for materials, wells are running dry. You can't live in a place where there is no water.

    At just 1.2 degrees of warming, it is very clear that the climate crisis is here. Even thuogh they post otherwise, even the Exxon and Russian trolls who deny it here, know that they are lying when they do so. We have to get off of carbon.

    About a third of the food in America, and a quarter of economic productivity, comes from the Southwest. The Southeast will see deadly heat and hurricanes. The rest of the country will see crazy flooding. There is no place that will not be impacted by the climate crisis.

19. Oh no evolution, God forbid! Like humans, what do you think happens on Earth? Migration is apart of life. Next topic.

20. Except everyone is still moving to FL.

21. Go Eagles 🙌

22. I left to The netherlands in Europe cause Cali was waaaay too hot constantly

23. I think you will see more of this around the world. Some areas of the planet may become uninhabitable.

24. Newsome said it is all PG&E fault for the wild fire, years later we still got wildfires.

25. Arizona is like a furnace in the summer. Also it’s not immune to climate change. We just had a few days thunderstorm and strong winds and rain in the summer. Very rare and odd. California has been consistent in Los Angeles so can’t complain. I’d still prefer California over Arizona.

26. They moved into a big house with a huge pool… reproducing the same selfish behavior that is stressing the climate around the world, and has already destroyed much of California. Those parents should teach their children to respect nature, stop consuming and wasting resources as essential as water. May they continue to enjoy their pool for a few more years…until Vermont runs out of it.

27. No place is immune to climate change…

28. whatcom county in nw corner of wa. about to become much more populated. the caveats are you need a 5k+ net or low enough income to qualify for any benefits. everyone else, stay out.

29. We were told climate change is GLOBAL.

30. It doesn’t matter where you go. Every place has issues— floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, severe winters, fires. You just have to pick the thing you can deal with.

31. groudon is at work.

32. LIKE N ISLAND LIKE ODOGMA DID

33. This is propaganda by the Vermont real estate market to make Vermont hot Lmao

34. Heat and drought risk will be just as important as taxes and schools?

    This statement personifies the absolute ignorance and lack of awareness of reality of priveleged elitists working, eatching tv and going to sleep.

    Tell you what. I haven't had a thought of taxes and schools in my adult life, but I can assure you that drought, heat and fire are as real and as threatening to life as anything I know.

35. Don’t blame climate for the kid banging his head..something else is going on and he needs to learn how to regulate his emotions.

36. you can't hide lol

37. This is exactly why I moved back to Michigan from southern California 12 years ago. It was already too dry there.

38. The answers of their sons made me cry!
    What matters is their peace and relief.

39. Look at that big house with a pool! Take that California salary and live like kings in the wilderness. C'mon. It wasn't just the fires, Anne.

40. People? Nahhh rich are moving.

41. A family with only 2 kids need that big butt house?

42. Our ancestors moved around constantly because of natural and catastrophic events. It’s only rational to move away from an area that’s going through a traumatic change!
    Now the only problem now is most of families can’t afford to move across the country. And this is going to be a very sad future for so many people, who are basically gonna be left behind…

43. Corporate media sux.

44. Us in the south would love for y’all to stay where y’all at. It’s to many of y’all over there that’s draining the resources

45. Meanwhile, Obama buys a house on the coast.
    He's not afraid of climate change.

46. There’s no such thing as climate resistance and climate change is inevitable it’s happened throughout every single civilization as a millennial I was taught growing up that this was bound to happen and exactly what was going to happen if we continued with what we were doing with the world as far as I’m concerned no where is climate resistant in America
