Consider Detroit if You Fear Climate Change Hitting Your City

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains why Detroit is emerging as one of the safest cities in the U.S. as climate change worsens. According to a Policy Genius report, Detroit benefits from its inland location, protecting it from rising sea levels and hurricanes. With only 51 projected extreme heat days by 2050 and minimal flood risk, McIntyre suggests that Detroit—and the upper Midwest more broadly—will become increasingly appealing as people migrate from high-risk regions like the Gulf Coast and Southern California.
