Hurricane Helene demolished the notion there are places on Earth immune from climate change — an already shaky premise that was further discredited by widespread damage to Asheville, North Carolina, a so-called climate haven.
Even so, experts say climate is a growing factor in many people’s relocation decisions. And some places do have lower comparative risks depending on the type of disaster. That can — and should — influence their decisions on where to move, they say.
“There's no such thing as a climate haven,” said Jesse Keenan, a professor of sustainable real estate and urban planning at Tulane University. “But what has happened is that various people, including myself, have identified cities where people are moving to, where consumer preferences are shaping the demand for places.”
“Everyone has been asking about Asheville as a climate haven,” said Kathie Dello, North Carolina’s state climatologist. “We’ve never really agreed with that. There’s always been a risk of flooding and fire.”
While climate havens may be a myth, Keenan said his work has highlighted the fact that some cities around the U.S. are becoming climate “receiving zones” — places where some people are choosing to move, in part, for climate-related reasons.
Asheville is among them, he said.

Are you sure this isn’t from Pseudo-Scientific American?

“Hurricane Helene demolished the notion there are places on Earth immune from climate change “
Is the foolish author trying to imply, falsely, that the Carolinas have not experienced big Hurricanes before the “modern” era.
If so the writer is no scientist nor commenting with any scientific facts.
The simplest underlying assertion ALWAYS is that "raise taxes" and what Madame Clinton worried about so recently, essentially obey or "we lose control."
Climate always changes.
Some people grasping for power and control over others never changes.
SMDH! Really dislike these assclowns!
So why are the idiots in Washington still importing bozos from undeveloped third world countries to America to protect them from “climate change” with their dumbass climate justice booschidt?
I used to subscribe to SA until it turned to trash
They’ve escaped to their own Haven of idiocy.
Seems to me Scientific American has morphed into Scientific Bullshit.
No they haven't.
"Climate haven" isn't even a concept.
OK, maybe it's a concept for 0.01% of the Leftist loonies who are totally obsessed with extremist climate ideas.
But it's just wrong to say that "everyone" thinks of Asheville like this.
annnnd just on time X people trending HAARP. But let’s see what John F^%^&ing Kerry and Greta say
You can rest assured that much worse storms than this unloaded on this area in the last 5,000 years.
This has happened before.
I remember this from a long time ago.

A hurricane went through the southeast. That’s never happened before.... Sound the alarms.
“Hurricane Helene Signals the End of the ‘Climate Haven’”
What did the 1916 Asheville flood signal?
So, Scientifically, there have never before been devastating hurricanes dropping tons of rain on America far away from the coast? NEVER? Only now, due to human activity?
They confabulate for what purpose?
Control.
I had a subscription to Scientic American for 20 years or so. Then 30 years ago, almost everything they publish had an unobjective, political flavor to it. No subscription since then.
This Rag became a Nutter Newsletter during the Obama dictatorship .
Dont bother publishing their lies and left wing gibberish .
