PBS examines 'THE RISKIEST Places to Live in the US as Our Climate Changes'

PBS is revisiting PBS Terra asks 'What is the RISKIEST Region in the US as the Climate Changes?' Watch THE RISKIEST Places to Live in the US as Our Climate Changes | Weathered: Earth's Extremes.

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?

The answer is Miami/Dade County/Broward County in Florida, the parishes just east of New Orleans in Louisiana, and Los Angeles County in California. Meanwhile, Oakland County is slightly more vulnerable than I had thought, but much better than Los Angeles. That makes me extra glad I moved from Southern California to Michigan 35 years ago!
