Climate change could make America's coldest cities today the climate havens of tomorrow

BUFFALO, NY. — As the Earth continues to warm, some of the coldest places in the country could become a more desirable place for people to live.

Scientists expect more and more people to move out of warmer places, leave the coasts and flock to cities that are seeing less severe impacts from climate change. Those places are being called "climate havens."

“There's no place that's safe from climate change,” said University at Buffalo professor, Nick Rajkovich.

However, there are places across America that will be safer, and less impacted by the extreme consequences of a changing climate.

“People will potentially be retreating from the coasts, and it puts places like Buffalo and Cleveland and Detroit and Duluth in a, in a situation where they may receive people in the future, you know, looking for someplace that's been more stable,” said Rajkovich, a professor in the Department of Architecture.

Rajkovich studies climate migration, where people are moving because of changes in our climate. He said he has already observed people moving to Buffalo as climate refugees because the city has experienced less warming than other cities and has access to freshwater.

“Basically, four out of five of the Great Lakes are dumping their freshwater into the Niagara River here,” said Rajkovich.

Buffalo is expected to one day have a much more temperate climate as well: think less snow, warmer winters.

“Our climate here is expected to be something close to what they have in Tennessee,” said Rajkovich.

And if climate change bull were fertilizer, all of America’s deserts could bloom.

As long as those delusional, irrational Democrats have power and keep funding these “climate scientists”, they will keep saying whatever they want to hear. The irrational, delusional Democrats in the media will duly report it.

If this story is referring to Buffalo specifically as a “cliimate haven” it is to laugh.

Spent some time there in the past usually around Thanksgiving or Christmas.....what a hell hole.

Went to a Bill’s game once, it was 40 degrees at kickoff......at halftime it started raining.

I wouldn’t go back there to throw up.

"Scientists expect...people to...leave the coasts"

Oh boy! Affordable beach front property, at last! But the trick is to figure out where to buy.

It’s a good thing the climate never used to change. If it did, primitive people probably would have had to cope with Ice Ages, warming periods, and all sorts of other unimaginable things.

“COULD”

Not WILL

More gaslighting about nothing, except to keep the stupid ones on their fear parade.

If .gov poured a billion dollars of grant money into “Unicorn Studies” colleges would have majors on the topic, politicians would talk endlessly about it, and the mass media would have endless articles about the feeding and mating habits of Unicorns.

How much do you want to bet that Professor Nick Rajkovich’s report conclusion is: “More study is required to research this important topic.”

This is fraud. The people who paint this picture are not acting as scientists but as alarmists. There is no way to be incompetent enough to espouse such conclusions if they actually engaged any honest investigation of the facts. Climate scientists are replaced by activists paid to lie for a political agenda. Their paychecks depend on them continuing to push an obviously false narrative. It is an insult to science to call these fraudsters scientists.

When can we expect the Obamas to put their Martha’s Vineyard ocean-front estate on the market so they can relocate to Detroit?

Let's think about it. I'm 78. Born and raised in Upstate NY in the Genesee River/Lake Ontario area.

NOTHING has changed since I was a little girl. Sometimes a lotta snow, sometimes less. Sometimes a lotta rain, sometimes less.

The leaves come out in the spring...and are shed in the fall.

The climate has not changed. The day to day weather changes.

And we create statistics...everything else...in the future is one big fat guess.

In the end...it's all about MONEY...and we're the ones that are getting scr****.
