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.

There are a LOT of simple actions communities/governments could make in order to lessen the serious impacts of climate change, but no one ever does them. ALSO GIVING UP FOSSIL FUELS IS NOT THE ONLY ANSWER! GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEADS!
If you come to the upper Midwest I’d just warn you we have the most oppressive winters in the entire country. For a few months it won’t be warm enough to do anything but stay inside and look forward to spring. It will shorten the life of your vehicle, possibly make you feel depressed, and require you to pay high utility costs just to stay alive. It’s just simply amazing here lol. If “the grass is always greener as long as it isn’t on fire” is your attitude though you’ll love it but I sure think it has it’s cons. I think it sucks if you enjoy geographic variations, the outdoors, and want to see something other than cornfields.
is that family vegan…or are they contributing to the problem that they complain about??? ANIMAL AGRICULTURE IS THE THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF THE CLIMATE CATASTROPHE. BE VEGAN.
“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.
If you look online it says main issue with water shortage is the following: What is the main issue with California's water supply?
The problem is inadequate infrastructure and a regulatory system that requires a huge amount of water to run straight to the ocean, so we aren't able to capture what we need to make it through the dry times. The loss of available water also has significant impacts on our ability to generate power.
Yea it’s A lot in California
The fact of the matter is they there are certain places that were never meant to be covered in wood shingle homes. And as a result we have entire cities in California destroyed by fire every year now.
The world is being destroyed by developers. We don’t need more tract homes in northern and Southern California, Phoenix, and Texas, near wild fire zones.
This world is passing away, accept Jesus and be saved. Don't be afraid he got you!❤️❤️❤️💪💪🙌🙌🙏 God bless you all.
Who owns a pool in Vermont? Also houses that big AND new are rare and expensive in Vermont. No offense but they are part of a negative change of the character of some of these regions and are clearly outsiders bringing their priorities to a place without the infrastructure to accommodate. Glad they left a traumatic situation though.
Good try at covering up the real reason people are leaving California in mass.
These people are too much.
Haha. Those people who are moving because of the climate, are moving to a mansion with a pool? Hypocrites, again.
Doubt that's the only thing they're trying to avoid in California 🙄
“Wealthy Americans with privilege moving to places more resistant to climate change.”
Fixed your headline for ya!
When I was in 7th grade in science class we use to get this small science booklet for what ever topic the teacher would discuss.
One I remember out of all the topics was about weather especially about Global Warming(that's what it's use to be called, before it was called Climate Change)
In the booklet it spoke about what would happen if we don't take care of our planet and the effects. It even showed a picture of the movie The Day After Tomorrow which was coming to theaters back then.
I remember even back then how terrified I was about how water can go up to build level and seeing the image of Manhattan being covered in water and the poster of the statue if liberty covered in ice. I couldn't sleep for days for I felt it would happen right away.
To get to the point. Global warming has been spoken for decades and not one politician(with the exception of Al Gore) has ever talked or taken action in reversing it. Because no one cared or its the next-generation problem.
This is the end result of not listening to the youth who learned it in school and tried to convince others to take action. It's not looking so false now.
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.
The context is a complete lie. The Northern Han crime family has been marked for extermination. Psalm 21 KJV
Welcome to Canada! Only good americans
What if I told you the climate has been changing for billions of years in a very predictable cycle and nothing new is happening that hasn’t already happened. Also theoretically, global warming” is supposed to effect the entire globe so why are they moving? Unless they plan on moving to another planet. Give me a break
More suicidal "D-IR-T B-IR-D" double speak. The "HH" belongs to the Monguls, and thus, the Angles ONLY.
Stay put where you are and fight this nonsense climate change, will ya…
Only they’ll be met with different issues and disasters somewhere else . Climate has become unpredictable. You can run but you can’t hide .
Eventually most of the Western forests will burn down and then folks out there won't have to worry about fires anymore. In 2040 when it's 130F (54C) they can rest easy.
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.
what kind of work do you do where you can move every week?
YES! YES! YES! Move back to the Mid west. Do not live in deserts! And stop being a Snowbird. Embrace cool and wet. It is a good thing.
😂
Good luck. Calamity is everywhere cause the climate is everywhere
I've had to come to the sad realization that it would be a bad idea for me to move from Wa state to the south. WA is very expensive and cold (for me) 7-8 months out of the year. But having to deal with the future flooding, excessive heat, and increased humidity would be even worse.
I am more interested in finding an "Extreme Home," you know, like, an abandoned, underground, bomb shelter, a solid cave house, or any self sufficient home, would be dreamy!
I bet Vermont is just delighted to receive these maniacs.
We have talked about moving to Maine for this very reason.
So, the wealthy ones decided
We have destroyed the natural places enough now. Let's move to avoid consequences and let other who can't afford anything anyway in destruction.
Then from far, we can tell them, if only you could do this and that.
Meanwhile, the places that they are moving. Take the baseline survey and you will be surprised in 10years. Local flaura Fauna would be gone. All big mansions surviving on huge AC. Great big lawns with no trees in sight. And amazing water usage for just keeping the grass greener.
Misuse of water with swimming pool, that us used to just brag or sit around but never going in, while other don't even have drinking water.
And most of all, let's displace local people and put them out if their affordable housing option, because we are rich.
We will displace farmers, ranches and many other local metro park t built multi acre housing for us only.
Only to abandon it in few year, because yep, we would have started another wild fire.
Don't they have any shame left.
Raising self entitled kids and narcissism to the sky.
Covid lockdown provides visible evidence that personal transportation is the largest contribution to climate change and not the industry, human household or eating habits. Right?
banned the fuel now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are climate refugees too. Northern CA to MA.

Extremely warm weather, for much of the year. Information I've obtained- an excess of Xenon in the atmosphere is causing a god, Viras, to make it very hot. It is a little related to the phenomenon of human jealousy, which has an effect via the Etheric. A chief source of the Xenon is a Florida Keys area; there's nothing that could be done about this, for example technologically. The Celtic gods of the Five Seasons are Ynanna or Beliih, Kylea, Fiorras, Viras, and Warr- Oimelq, Bealtainne, Litha, Lughnasadh, Samhain. Yoga- people could best become more involved with something of this nature- I've mentioned Thejerexzen Yoga as the best, but this isn't directly related in with this issue. It has to do with losing a Miasm which could be called The American Root Miasm; with Rezefede, finding a true Race Channel, which for us is Celtic, especially Scottish. Then it would be possible to have Race Energy, which no one under that flag so made has been able to have. The National Subtle Direction is traditionally NW, which isn't bad; top best would be West, called Yoga and Marriage (yoga is like a marriage, in the subtle sense). Wonderful for the condition of sensitivity to and oppression from heat is Larkspur Tree flower essence, and Xiba Tree herb. This is all I have on the hot condition situation- perhaps there have been suicides on this, recently?! It can be frustrating to have to spend months indoors each year; no one should brave otherwise, generally; incredibly better, not to do so, suicide…
Every time Democrats take over a city, the streets are suddenly filled with crime, garbage, rats, junkies and homeless, and we're supposed to trust them to clean up the environment???
I ❤️ North Carolina. Been here my whole life bc of it's mild weather 😊🇺🇲
It's not hard to find things to be afraid of.
I live in the middle of a forest with no worry about forest fires which were much greater in the 30's
the problem makers avoiding the consequences they made rather than fixing it for everyone else, classic americans 💀
That living large lifestyle is what is causing the climate crisis
How can "Global warming" be LIMITED to localized areas?! And if polar ice caps melt, rising sea levels will also be uniform globally – not localized.
Well, this turned out to be b.s. Have you been to Florida lately?
This will be painfully true for those living in the nations south of the US and around the world. Some have limited funds and may even lack the freedom to move somewhere more livable. We need a worldwide initiative to help them relocate for survival.
Chicago is a place more resistant to climate change.
