Abstract
"The Great Displacement: Climate Change and the Next American Migration" is a book that explores the impact of climate change on communities in the United States. The book features interviews and stories from individuals affected by wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, and floods, and examines the choices they are forced to make in the aftermath of these disasters. The author discusses how insurance markets and government intervention contribute to the displacement of vulnerable populations, and highlights the challenges faced by those who cannot afford to rebuild or relocate. The book also addresses the lack of programs to assist individuals in at-risk areas and the potential consequences of climate change on the demographics of the country. Overall, the book provides a sobering look at the effects of climate change and emphasizes the need for action. [Extracted from the article]
