A new book by journalist Jack Bittle looks at communities affected by climate change, and how the lives of their residents — those who have survived — have been altered by extreme weather.

"The climate crisis doesn't care if your state is red or blue," President Joe Biden said in hisaddress earlier this month."It is an existential threat. We have an obligation to our children and grandchildren to confront it."

Bittle's book takes a look at several communities that have been affected by climate change, and how the lives of their residents — the ones who have survived — have been altered by extreme weather. The first section of the book focuses on the Florida Keys,"the first flock of canaries in the coal mine of climate change.

Hurricanes aren't the only weather phenomena that climate change has made more frequent. In another section of the book, Bittle turns his eye to California's wine country. Just about a month after Irma ravaged the Caribbean and Florida, a fire broke out in the town of Calistoga; a combination of high winds and drought caused the fire to turn into a conflagration that quickly reached the city of Santa Rosa.

NPR-once again showing it prefers Convenient Lies over Planetary Reality and Chemistry that isn’t tainted by obscenely invalid assumptions and correlations between climate and earth’s historical trajectory.

There is not a single actual climate refugee due to human generated CO2. If you want to talk overuse of underground water in arid zones, you can call them climate refugees. But the cause is not climate change.

Its complete BS. There is no acceleration in the rate of sea level rise. However, Norfolk VA is sinking, which is obviously unrelated to climate change. NPR is clearly totally uninterested in the real science of climate change.

Tell us about the 'ones' that didn't survive, or NPR is spouting propaganda

I’m listening to your radio broadcast right now and it’s partisan, filled with cable news level garbage. If you’re going to survive it must deliver objective, uncolored truth and balanced reporting so that the public can decide.

We can find this in the fiction section, right?

No wonder you’re failing. People don’t buy your propaganda any longer.

Developing countries emit 73% of CO2

If paying more in taxes solved ClimateCrisis , shouldn't people be moving TO California?

The end is neigh! Give us 350 trillion dollars before it is too late!🙄 The jig is up, enviro-grifters.

The Great Migration

Oh God, the knuckledraggers are going to flock to this one.

Every 'climate crisis' argument avoids the historical human error in settlements. As humans settled along water bodies and arable land, we could not foresee that natural climate change would negatively affect settlements. Nomadic life works with naturally changing climate.

Hurray for climate propaganda.

I'm don't think making the name extremely similar to a white supremacist conspiracy theory was an awesome idea.

It snowed in Las Vegas and LA this week.

Hmm sound like a conspiracy theory.

How about talking about the white replacement that is actually real and happening unlike this shit.

Those who have survived..

The climate is always changing. Has been since the day God created this earth. Stop spewing this climatechange propaganda
