In this story from Weathered: Earth’s Extremes, Maiya May pours over giant risk maps with NASA scientist Marshall Shephard to learn the most significant impacts of our changing climate on each region of the US. Using some of the most powerful computers in the world, scientists can project how a warmer world will change our weather. She finds an answer to the question: where is the riskiest place to live as the climate warms, and how can we prepare?

Joni Mitchell ,sang about many years ago,They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot ! Its the problem in a sentence. Too much blacktop no grass to absorb moisture,urban planners need to think better about the problem they cause . Climate change is here to stay . 😢
climate change is a hoax! Make America Great Again!!
So which state is immune to climate change? People would want to live there.
There will never ever be a NWS official 125+°F air temperature recorded in Milwaukee, WI. Never. Ever. C’mon man. What are we talking about here?!
The scariest part of this for me is the heat. Much of the country experiencing 125° days?? That is a death sentence for those who are outside, or potentially community scale fatality events if power goes out. Absolutely horrifying.
I'd like to see how Hawaii compares to the rest.
Baby making?😢
I live in one of the Florida counties that is already orange on that map, and I can tell you that basically the entire summer is already outside the bounds of human habitability – at least for this human.
Never thought PBS ❤ would call out the dangers of living in Miami 🌴or Atlanta 🍑
Let's produce more humans, eat more meat, live and travel lavishly & further increase global warming
The map doesn't highlight the areas in western North Carolina that flooded during Helene and Milton.
2:36 where is that?
Umm…link to the maps?
What kinda scam are they pulling? Florida has never had a 125°F day
Just forget about Hawaii I guess ah?
We are oblivious to the realities of our times. Particularly concerning is that the wildfires and insect migration as warmer weather moves north are responsible for tens of millions of acres destroyed. Unlike cities and suburbs the damages are invisible. Its happening globally. Metastisizing as faster rates. Like a cancer the best time to catch it is early. Unfortunately this is not happening. We're using more wood than at any time in history. Ditto the global south. Simultaneously government today is more interested in ceaseless war suffering bloodshed and ecological destruction. In dominating other nations. Game of thrones thinking will be the end of the beautiful game of civilization. We must have peace. Thanks PBS for your work
I find it so ironic that the places usually filled with climate change deniers are going to get affected by it the most.
Pray for rain, said a sign on the road. Pray? I think a Native American rain 🌧️ dance would be more effective. Why? Well.. the drum beats and the earth stumping propagate to the clouds ☁️. There, the ice crystals are pushed together by the sound waves… the rest you know, super saturated blah blah
How are Phoenix and Los Vegas not on par with south Florida and LA?
Cmon, at least show the celsius values alongside. Y'know, for us scientific literate people from the whole globe that enjoys this channel
Do you have a link to the maps?
Why the censorship? Everyone knows we are dealing with global heating. Why use the term "climate change," which is designed to give cover to politicians
It would be helpful to have a detailed list of the top areas that are projected to be the safest from climate change, in the US. Not everyone can move, but I'd appreciate knowing.
Yep, insurance companies are changing polices as you speak.
I think people look at these maps and get a false sense of security if they're not in a purple zone. But as someone else mentioned here, places like Montpelier, VT and Asheville, NC have been ravaged by floods. An extremely high precipitation event could take out California's Central Valley. A grid failure would be catastrophic now in Phoenix, not just in 20 or 30 years. Meanwhile we have state governors outlawing use of the words "climate change," which will become a national mandate if the wrong person gets into the Oval Office. My long-term goal is to get out of the US entirely to a country that takes this issue more seriously. I don't see Americans waking up in time.
The results of when the poorly educated think they know more than anyone else.
Climate change is hoax its not about Climate its about population control
pssssst… climate change is "fake news" , it's really called "always changing weather patterns" and is completely normal and expected.
Is this a troll video
Love this show, love the host, love her guests! Ty!!!
80 in Detroit today, walking around like it is summer….We are SOL…
One, Maiya! My Best Buy girl ❤
Not sure I can take this seriously when the presenter has 300$ jeans on.
Would love to know what factors made Cuyahoga County near Cleveland higher than the rest of the state.
This just addresses heat temperatures. It doesn't include the threats of flooding, fires, earthquakes, volcanoes and the one man made disaster of all time, nuclear power plants. Or fossil fuels. Fit all of that into "climate change." Oh and space junk lol and solar flares.
Bla bla bla….what happened to your Ice age in the 80s & 90's SAME OLD NARRATIVES. LIVE YOUR LIVES. Stop living in fear. You are your own worst enemy.
Oregon 2024 the driest on record.
Considering it’s October 26 in Dallas, TX yet we’re still hitting 90 and above, Global Warming is definitely happening right now.
Agricultural will be non existent in the west soon. TN Kentucky Arkansas IL ozark and east. Maybe the grains in IA and NB but that too might dry up after that but really with Yellowstone then the flooding we will have rain for 40 years cooling down the planet. You can build some really cool things with lava rock that have metals in them so working with magnetics will be a game changer that’s a simplified version of a UFO. They developed smarter metal combinations but that’s it. Plus the figure out a computer chip that communicates with them using telepathy the third eye. This is what real AI is. A connection to a biological entity with morals. That’s why I call my smart phone R2D2. My Son develops this in 500 years.
