The Great Displacement : Climate Change and the Next American Migration.
Bittle, Jake,
The Great Displacement : Climate Change and the Next American Migration. Climate change and the next American migration. - First Simon & Schuster trade paperback edition. - xix, 347 pages ; 21 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 293-338) and index.
The end of the earth : climate change and the age of permanent disaster : Big Pine Key, Florida -- After the flood : managed retreat and its victims : Kinston, North Carolina -- Burnout : wildfires, insurance, and the housing crisis : Santa Rosa, California -- The story of the Verdins : coastal erosion and cultural extinction : Pointe-au-Chien, Louisiana -- Frankenstein city : flood control and urban inequality : Houston, Texas -- Why should this a desert be? : drought, agriculture, and the era of expansion : Pinal County, Arizona -- Bailout : rising seas and falling markets : Norfolk, Virginia -- Where will we go? : a new American geography.
"We think about the dangers of climate change in the future tense: that as global warming gets worse over the coming decades, millions of people will scatter around the world fleeing famine and rising seas. What we often don't realize is that the consequences of climate change are already visible, right here in the United States. Bittle shows that, from fire-scorched California to the soaked watersheds of inland North Carolina, people are moving. Insurance and mortgage markets are already shifting to reflect mounting climate risk, pricing people out of risky areas. He tells the stories of those already experiencing life on the move, and show how radically climate change will transform our lives--and reshape the geography of the United States."--
