Far-left Axios is gushing over a new study that blames climate change for people fleeing Democrat-run cities like the “metro areas of Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Washington, D.C. (specifically, Alexandria, Va.).”
“Climate migration is already taking place within American communities, new data finds, as people flee flood-prone areas, and create ‘climate abandonment’ zones,” writes an unquestioning Axios.
“The study constitutes the latest warning sign of the effects of climate change,” Axios continues without skepticism. “Population shifts, and a larger reckoning for real estate, are only expected to worsen as global average surface temperatures rise.”
But then the premise of the study undercuts itself in a big way with the admission that “Americans are leaving the Rust Belt in droves and heading to areas of greater climate risk in the South and Southwest[.]”
What’s more, “cities with high flood risks, like Miami and Houston, are still pulling in more people than they are losing,” the study admits. “But these areas are growing more slowly than they would be if flooding weren’t such a threat, the study shows.”
A good faith reading of the study tells me that the conclusions come from projections and math equations. Nowhere does it say that the actual people who moved were surveyed or questioned about why they moved. The study also uses a math problem to explain away “local political, social, and economic conditions” — but you have to talk to people to understand their motive for moving. …

And denial of “man-made climate change” is primarily blamed on conservatives. Or some such bull squirt.
Yeah, people are fleeing the Gulf Coast by the millions.
From the waterheads at Axios.
More nonsense from the crazy left.
How does this explain the huge move from Blue cities to AZ, TX and FL?
OK I get it now. Climate change is Africans.
People in Minnesota are fleeing to Texas, Florida and Arizona to escape global warming.
Right.
It’s not the heat - it’s the stupidity.
Even in the worst of times never lose your sense of humor.
Yeah. “Let’s go South where it’s gonna get much hotter than here!”
Said no one.
Mostly because it’s BS.
Sounds like an epidemic of SFB (sh-t for brains) over at Ax.

Oh yeah....HUGE crime rate has nothing to do with it at all....LOL

How convenient but it makes no sense. If any state is preparing for doomsday climate destruction it’s CA and NY, etc. Red states not so much.
That said, why would people flee blue states when those are the states prepping. Answer: they’re fleeing because blue states are cesspools of illegals, homeless, no jobs, high taxes.
I’m inclined to blame it on the population mix.
The obivous conclusion is that “climate change” is caused by “Democrat-run cities.”
OMG! Now I’ve heard everything. Well, almost. There will be more crap like this.
