Is Climate Migration the Future? Examining the Increasing Danger of U.S. Coastal Living

Doug McIntyre and David Callaway discuss the increasing dangers of living in certain parts of the United States, such as the Florida coast and California, due to escalating natural disasters and extreme weather. They consider whether climate migration to safer areas with fewer natural disasters is imminent. Callaway notes that, despite these growing risks, many people continue to move to places like Phoenix and Miami, drawn by factors like low taxes and favorable winter climates. Even with intense heat and frequent natural disasters, the tipping point for large-scale climate migration hasn’t been reached yet. However, as these areas become more hazardous, the possibility of migration to less risky regions seems inevitable in the future.
