Climate change could make America's coldest cities today the climate havens of tomorrow

BUFFALO, NY. — As the Earth continues to warm, some of the coldest places in the country could become a more desirable place for people to live.

Scientists expect more and more people to move out of warmer places, leave the coasts and flock to cities that are seeing less severe impacts from climate change. Those places are being called "climate havens."

“There's no place that's safe from climate change,” said University at Buffalo professor, Nick Rajkovich.

However, there are places across America that will be safer, and less impacted by the extreme consequences of a changing climate.

“People will potentially be retreating from the coasts, and it puts places like Buffalo and Cleveland and Detroit and Duluth in a, in a situation where they may receive people in the future, you know, looking for someplace that's been more stable,” said Rajkovich, a professor in the Department of Architecture.

Rajkovich studies climate migration, where people are moving because of changes in our climate. He said he has already observed people moving to Buffalo as climate refugees because the city has experienced less warming than other cities and has access to freshwater.

“Basically, four out of five of the Great Lakes are dumping their freshwater into the Niagara River here,” said Rajkovich.

Buffalo is expected to one day have a much more temperate climate as well: think less snow, warmer winters.

“Our climate here is expected to be something close to what they have in Tennessee,” said Rajkovich.

LOL! Probably that professor owns a lot of property in Buffalo and so is pushing this nonsense. “Yup, Buffalo will have the same climate as Miami... Are you interested in property?”

There’s a silver lining to every cloud! Of course with climate change I guess there won’t be any clouds.

” said University at Buffalo professor, Nick Rajkovich.”

Now, this guy is a professor. Wait, don’t laugh. Don’t laugh.

But I wonder if Mr. Rajkovich knows that the Obama’s bought beach-front property, what with all the seas that could be rising?

What does he have to say about that? Or is Mr. Rajkovich so removed from everyday reality that he’s completely unaware of the rich and their lackeys buying up low-lying beach-front property? Well, he is identified as a “professor,” remember.

Last I heard, Buffalo and Cleveland and Detroit are still $#*+hole cities with plunging property values and people wanting to move out.

Duluth, not so much maybe because it is insufficiently diverse.

There is no “climate change.”

It’s called weather.

Just another attempt by the left to control us, impose communism, and for them to make money with their so-called carbon credits.

People will be moving to Buffalo and Detroit in 100 years because they’ve become tropical paradises by warming 0.7 degrees C?

Yeah, right.

Ptooie.

They left out the women and minorities hardest hit. They must be slipping.

Montana is full of ghost towns from 1900 to 1915 started by railroads and homesteaders during a much wetter than usual period that turned the high prairies green. When weather returned to the normally dry conditions those towns all went bust.

Here is a good article on the issue: https://www.distinctlymontana.com/historic-homesteads
