This US State Will be the Least Affected by Climate Change in 2050, Expert Claims

Different communities are affected by global warming in different ways. For example, rising sea levels are causing flooding and erosion in low-lying and coastal areas, while dry towns are experiencing droughts, wildfires, and intense heat waves.

However, a new book by Parag Khanna, a geopolitics and globalization specialist, titled Move: The Forces Uprooting Us, examines our planet's climate-change-ravaged future. It also shows which states would be the least affected by the climate catastrophe by 2050.

Although Michigan's government is headed in the right path, and the state is purportedly shielded from floods and heat waves (for the time being), the state has experienced severe environmental concerns in the past.

For example, the Flint water crisis, which began in 2014, is still going on - in case you missed it, people in the small Michigan city have been unable to drink the tap water for years because the governor took shortcuts and ultimately delivered an overwhelmingly BIPOC community unfit water to drink.

Meanwhile, just a few hours away from Flint, residents in Benton Harbor have been dealing with a severe water shortage. Due to hazardous levels of lead in the tap water, the city, predominantly populated by BIPOC families, has been unable to consume it for several years.

As a result, something needs to change in these susceptible Michigan communities before they can be deemed ready for a major surge of climate refugees in the coming decades.
