How to review this book. It was extremely well written and informative, but so sobering. It looks at migration patterns mainly in the US of people after devastating natural disasters. I spent all month reading this because it was a tough topic.

ChaoticMissAdventures Sad but interesting. It sounds like a broader look but similar topic to 1y

Jake Bittle takes a gloomy present and extends it to the darkest possible (and likely) future. He offers a little hope, but impacts of climate change are largely irreversible without immediate changes to modern on-demand life. So only read this book if you feel emotionally capable of coping with extremely grim reality. 🥵

“The prime culprit in Princeville‘s destruction, as in Lincoln City‘s, is not nature or even climate change, but the many-stranded racism of American society, the silent hierarchy that divides land along lines of race and class.”
