《在移动中》探讨了气候变化将如何改变人们的居住地_国际

在移动中亚伯拉罕·拉斯加滕·法拉，斯特劳斯和吉鲁出版社，30美元

艾伦·赫戴尔的神经快要崩溃了。这位40多岁的加州人注意到，她的家越来越受到野火的威胁。在亲戚的房子被大火烧毁后，持续的威胁使她9岁的女儿受到了创伤，赫戴尔发现自己在2020年的一个晚上凌晨3点起床，在Zillow上搜索佛蒙特州的房屋。

她并不孤单。在美国各地，面临极端火灾、风暴、洪水和高温的人们正在寻找逃生口。在《移动中》一书中，亚伯拉罕·卢斯加滕探讨了这些人是谁，他们住在哪里，气候变化可能导致他们迁移到哪里，以及这种重新洗牌将如何影响这个国家(SN: 5/12/20)。

At about 300 pages, the book is a relatively quick read, but Lustgarten’s reporting is deep. Leaning on interviews with such high-profile sources as former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and on published research, Lustgarten explains the scientific and political sides of climate migration. Anecdotes from people across the socioeconomic spectrum reveal the mind-sets of people at the front lines of the climate crisis. And the author’s decades of experience as a climate journalist result in a particularly accessible analysis of the insurance landscape, which has long lent a false sense of economic safety to people living in places vulnerable to climate change.

Where will climate migrants end up? Lustgarten looks to scientists and economists for answers. Ecologist Marten Scheffer, for example, has repurposed tools for predicting where plants will thrive to identify zones that humans will find most habitable in the future.

But the book offers no list of the best places to live, as “safe” climate is only one consideration. Other necessities and comforts will also be factors, and some people won’t have the resources to move to an optimal spot. Like Herdell, Lustgarten is a Californian who has watched his state burn. Will he or Herdell leave? To find out, you’ll have to read the book.
