On the Move: The Overheating Earth and the Uprooting of America
Abrahm Lustgarten (Author)

“The best way to understand how the climate crisis is changing America – culturally, economically, politically – is to read On the Move. It’s a brilliant, deeply researched look at the transformation that’s already underway in places like California and Michigan as people flee wildfires and extreme heat and flooding and imagine new lives in a less risky place. Along the way, Lustgarten grapples with some of the most important questions of our time: As climate impacts accelerate, who will benefit? Who will lose? Will climate-driven migration increase injustice and violence, or will it bring economic growth and a more stable democracy? On the Move captures the tumult of all this–think of it as a guidebook to the coming chaos of life in a rapidly warming world.” –Jeff Goodell, New York Times-bestselling author of The Heat Will Kill You First
