An accessible and well written introduction to the topic of climate migration in the United States. The author focuses on stories of individuals facing specific climate disasters, which helps to illustrate the difficulties of relocation decisions and the effectiveness (or ineffectiveness) of government interventions/insurance coverage. While I wished that the author explored possible solutions and future projections in more detail, I appreciate that the book isn't overly lengthy or convoluted. Despite its readability and relative brevity, this book took me several months to complete due to my anxiety for loved ones dealing with Hurricane Helene and the 2025 Southern CA wildfires.
i think this records important history, but i was hoping for my ties between the last major migration and the current one. this just gave accounts, many of which i knew, as i lived through or studied them. i think this is important work for future generations but don’t think it was worth the read for me.
Jake Bittle strings together a wide variety of potential or current causes of displacement, with metaphor, and adroit analysis.
I think utilizing distinct family stories as a way of capturing the effect of climate displacement drives home some of the drier summaries of climate science.

What better way to start the spooky season than to learn more about climate change displacement happening now and what’s soon to come
