In the southern states, counties such as Phoenix’s Maricopa County are likely to experience temperatures above 95 degrees for over half of the year. The heat, paired with extreme levels of humidity, will make it dangerous for people to be outdoors. Wildfires will cause many West Coasters to migrate east, with the northern Great Basin becoming an epicenter for large wildfires in 2050. Sea levels and high tides will flood most coastal areas, with people from large metropolitan cities such as Miami, New York, and Boston forced to move inward. Food will become challenging to grow and the U.S.’s most prevalent crops - corn and soy - will need to be reimagined to create sustainable sustenance for the American people. And lastly, damages from climate will continue to tally in the billions, with states such as Florida likely to lose half its economy in climate-related disasters.

Many Americans have already been forced to flee their homes due to natural disasters in the country. In the past decade alone, there have been over one hundred natural disasters, which have resulted in $761 billion in damage. In the preceding decade, there were only 59 similar disasters. Since 2018, there have been over 2 trillion dollars worth of damage due to natural disasters.

From the 2015-2018 post-drought firestorms in California, which resulted in over $43+ billion in damage, to the 2017 Hurricane Harvey in Houston, which cost $130 billion, Americans have relocated at unprecedented levels.

And although many climate models project irreversible damage in the future, the U.S. has already seen serious levels of movement as a result of climate-caused destruction.
