I love Weathered! It would also be awesome to see the safest, or at least the least risky places to live!
I really enjoyed this series. The presentation and research is wonderful.
Cities should start retrofitting the sidewalks, parking lots, and other appropriate surfaces with pervious concrete to help mitigate the flood risks.
Well Done!!
Carl Sagan’s address to congress in 1985 is the only source of information that I have seen change a climate denier’s mind.
Alaska and Hawaii?
Watching humans deal with change and greed is very sad.
The scariest part of this for me is the heat. Much of the country experiencing 125° days?? That is a death sentence for those who are outside, or potentially community scale fatality events if power goes out. Absolutely horrifying.

So I live in one of the so-called safer places. Yea, that didn't work out so well, as my area is still struggling to recover months after hurricane Helene devastated my city. And a science denier just got elected president.
I think people look at these maps and get a false sense of security if they're not in a purple zone. But as someone else mentioned here, places like Montpelier, VT and Asheville, NC have been ravaged by floods. An extremely high precipitation event could take out California's Central Valley. A grid failure would be catastrophic now in Phoenix, not just in 20 or 30 years. Meanwhile we have state governors outlawing use of the words "climate change," which will become a national mandate if the wrong person gets into the Oval Office. My long-term goal is to get out of the US entirely to a country that takes this issue more seriously. I don't see Americans waking up in time.
What about wildfires,too?
Joni Mitchell ,sang about many years ago,They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot ! Its the problem in a sentence. Too much blacktop no grass to absorb moisture,urban planners need to think better about the problem they cause . Climate change is here to stay . 😢
You left our Hawaii?
80 in Detroit today, walking around like it is summer....We are SOL...
the quality of water thanks to pollution
Not sure I can take this seriously when the presenter has 300$ jeans on.
