Will Climate Risks Trigger a Population Exodus from Florida?

Doug McIntyre and Dave Callaway discuss the potential for population decline in states heavily affected by climate change. McIntyre speculates that some people may leave states like Florida due to worsening climate conditions. However, Callaway points out that despite the obvious risks, Miami has experienced a real estate boom over the past five years, attracting financial firms with tax incentives. He notes that the predicted exodus hasn’t happened yet, but with an intense hurricane season expected, future migration trends remain uncertain. This conversation underscores the complex relationship between climate risk and economic incentives in influencing population movements.
