Climate Migration: Should I Stay or Should I Go?
The places that most people call home are coming under increasing threat from climate change. From rising seas and more frequent floods to stronger hurricanes and cyclones, to more devastating droughts and wildfires, the most habitable parts of our world are becoming far less so. Over time, our cities will be forced to transform \u2014 and hundreds of millions will have to move.\nPeople who have the means are already starting to relocate to places that market themselves as climate-proof. But not everyone will be able to leave. And many won\u2019t want to. How do we handle the next great waves of migration?\nGuests:\xa0\nAbrahm Lustgarten, author, \u201cOn the Move: The Overheating Earth and the Uprooting of America\u201d\nSonia Shah, author, \u201cThe Next Great Migration: The Beauty and Terror of Life on the Move\u201d\nThis episode also features reported pieces by MPR reporter Dan Kraker on \u201cClimate Proof Duluth\u201d and KUOW Public Radio in Seattle reporter \u200b\u200bJohn Ryan on \u201cHow a Northwest tribe is escaping a rising ocean.\u201d \nSupport Climate One by going ad-free!
