If you ever want to read an story about people moving for climate reasons, this story talking about people who moved to Asheville, NC, a listed climate haven, and having to deal with forest fires two years ago (plus the last few days) is…well.
As more people move to “climate havens” like Western North Carolina, they are learning nowhere is immune from climate concerns like wildfire.
I live in one of the "climate havens" in the northeast. My apartment has flooded twice in 3 years due to hurricanes, and in the non flood year I was trapped inside all summer due to Canadian wildfires because I have asthma. Climate havens. Give me a break.
There’s so much still unknown. To think someone will be safe from this planet-wide crisis by moving somewhere is either folly or ignorance. Perhaps both, as Shakespeare said. Lots of unforeseen side effects yet to be discovered.
I have (mostly) nothing but sympathy for people who were just trying to figure out the safest place to live. But I do think that we need to jettison the idea that we know what the risks look like.
I remember climate scientists years ago saying to move away from the coasts, away from the equator, and towards potable water. That this advice didn't guarantee no climate effects, as we don't know much about how global warming would affect weather.
Yeah. There isn't a safe place, really. Just some that have fewer hazards at the moment, but one drought, one hurricane, one blizzard, one earthquake....
So many people still don't realize there is no place to run.
