Episode: Not Built For This #1: The Bottom of the Bowl
It was discussed as a book about how climate change is impacting where people live in the US, including a prediction of how many might need to move in the future.
"
More recently, Abram published a book called On the Move, The Overheating Earth and the Uprooting of America.
He talked to researchers who study what's called the human habitability niche, essentially the climatic conditions that are hospitable to human life.
We estimate it'll affect about 160 million Americans in some way, so about half of us.
But at the low end, there's research that estimates that about 13 million Americans would be displaced by sea level rise alone.
Abram is talking about a mass movement of people that's at least double that and potentially many, many times bigger.
