As deadly wildfires continue to blaze around greater Los Angeles, the economic cost of the fires has now been estimated to be over $200 billion. That has made this tragedy, which started on January 7, potentially the most expensive wildfire event in U.S. history. At least 24 people have died as of the time of […]
A 2022 report from the International Panel on Climate Change observed that more than 3.3 billion people around the world are “highly vulnerable to climate change.” And more than one billion people could be exposed to “coastal-specific climate hazards by 2050.” Here in the U.S., the Census Bureau calculated that 3.2 million adults were displaced […]
As flooding becomes more common due to the shifting and strengthening weather patterns and sea-level rise associated with climate change, so does climate migration. New research by the First Street Foundation (FSF) has combined historic population change trends with flood risk data to reveal climate migration patterns happening in areas with high flood risk across […]
Zimbabwe’s largest national park is reporting its biggest migration of elephants and other wild animals to its neighbor Botswana since 2019, as a climate crisis-fueled drought in the region has caused water holes to run dry. Hwange National Park is home to around 50,000 elephants, according to Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (Zimparks), The […]

The study, published in the journal Nature Sustainability, found that about 9% of humanity is currently outside the “human […]
The climate crisis could force more than one billion people from their homes by 2050, but how will they find a new one in a world of hardening borders?
About 3.4 million adults in the U.S. (1.4% of the adult population) were displaced from their homes by extreme weather disasters in 2022, a new survey from the U.S. Census Bureau reveals. Those findings, based on the 68,500 responses to the Bureau’s Jan. 4-16 Household Pulse Survey , are far higher than figures from the […]
Species cross-breed in nature in order to share traits that bolster them from certain environmental changes, and cross-breeding may become more common as the planet heats up and animals migrate to cooler areas. For instance, as grizzly bears have made their way north, Canada and Alaska have become home to “grolar bears,” The Guardian reported. […]
Florida is sinking. The Western states are drying out and catching fire. Is there anywhere in the U.S. that will still make a good home as the climate crisis continues? The answer is yes. There are cities referred to as “climate havens” because they are located in areas less likely to suffer from extreme weather […]
