  • A growing number of Americans say fires, floods, drought and climate change are making them rethink where they want to live. Most people move for a new job, better opportunity but some are packing up in search of a sense of relief. NBC’s Anne Thompson reports for Saturday TODAY.

    “Small but growing number of WEALTHY Americans.” Lower income families cannot just move because of climate change, they have to stay where they are and deal with the conditions. This just further highlights wealth inequality in the U.S. and how many people have the ability to further ignore the problem.

      As a Californian in the valley, the bigger the fires, the worse the smoke gets. It’s only a matter of time before CA gets it’s “Australian Bushfire” moment and the effects of our wildfires start making it worse for other states too.
      Edit: I’ll point out that, not only does Oregon and Washington ALSO get our smoke, but they’ve started having massive wildfires themselves as well. It’s getting just as rough in the Atlantic states with hurricanes and storms.

    They moved into a big house with a huge pool… reproducing the same selfish behavior that is stressing the climate around the world, and has already destroyed much of California.

      Believe it or not, but most pools use less water than watering the lawn consecutively for a year. You should do your research. A pool’s water can last for 5 years, and the only “consumption” comes from topping it off every once in a while when water levels decline following precipitation.

      None if the world was powered 100% by clean, emissions free nuclear power. It's cleaner than renewables like solar and wind when factors like the quantity of materials and equipment needed, amount of land used and the amount of garbage generated are taken into consideration.
      We should already have reactors that are completely immune to melting down. The Integral Fast Reactor at Argonne National Laboratory was shut down in 1994 when it was almost completed. Such reactors should be powering the world now along with molten salt reactors. The Molten Salt Breeder Reactor program was shut down by Richard Nixon in the 70s and was not close to being as well developed.

It’s only a matter of time it floods again along with louisiana. I predict within 50 years, these states will be dire need of infrastructure work so maintenance will be high and insurance will be high making it unprofitable. The upper Midwest and New England will be the safest in 100year plus but even that is not full proof, the east coast will also have flooding problems. If anything canada is the safest if you ask me if you’re looking for generational homes.

      It’s pretty simple.
      A warming planet causes worse extremes: …
      Warmer air & water => (leading to) more humidity, heavier rain, and heavier floods.
      Hotter air & topsoil => more heatwaves, more evaporation, more drought, and more wildfires.
      Hotter Arctic => less ice, less albedo, much less ice.
      That's the way it works. It is simple physics.

    Moving to other states to “escape” yet every state is having issues, not as much rain in some states then flash flooding & landslides. Winters colder then before with more snow or not as cold with less snow & once it hits its food supply shortages power outages etc, hotter summer days with some food shortages plus with stuff not being the greatest & more destroyed from weather it’s already causing issues. Sounds mild but it’s all causing issues with land & farming as is & making prices go up, it’s just like with texas & the water issues, no rain for crops no food for cows so cows are getting sold like crazy & can’t be kept raised or even breed so meat prices will go up. Theirs tax increases in some states for land let alone rising prices as is when stuff already isn’t great in the states & tho California seems to be a focus for news all states are having major problems with drugs & more violence happening along with their own land & weather problems. You really have no state or place to escape to, some may end up seeming worse then others but all places are changing weather & price wise & will only get worse & I’d say much worse given how much hotter it’s suppose to be & how much water is already wasted a lot of crops won’t be growable in certain areas & with wether changing everyones flocking to take up other land in states that will only knock out more possible land for certain crops & cause prices to rise more given the lack of farmable land.
    Theirs no win win, no matter what state you live in no matter what country you live in everything globally will continue to change, people moving in masses is only going to worsen it so much more.

    The kids are stressed because she told them she “might be dead now and they would go live with family members”??? Way to pump up the drama Mom, Geez. They’re little kids. Actually I don’t believe she actually said that, I bet she was encouraged to dramatize things for the news story, like climate change needs to be embellished! These news outlets really are something else.

    There is no “good news”. We are too late. We can only slow and mitigate the damage. These people moving around is a fix for them now. All areas will be fine eventually be affected by climate change.

    Ok I feel terrible for these kids having parents that rather instill fear and running away than optimistic with proactive to solutions. Of course your child are gonna be cowering in a corner banging his head saying he can’t take it anymore. And they write letters to them threatening the fact that their parents may die?! What the heck?! I’m working in the climate industry right now and it’s these fear talking that makes people unproductive, in denial, and contributes to the continuation of global warming.

    Climate refugees will be one of the biggest issues of this millennium. People will move to area's away from rising oceans, cooler area's and where food can be grown.

      The EPIC Climate-WIN this Week had was covered by 'Vlogbrothers', but lets not stop here; though celebrating is welcomed. Go to your local School-Board and ask if not at the very, very least the School-Friendly Climate-Coverage of 'UpisNotJump' cant be shown in all Classrooms. This is just one of the many things you can do. City-Plan-Meetings also deter young People by being boring-af, so why not go there and discuss some Videos of 'Not Just Bikes!'?
