On the last page of the 2023 book The Great Displacement: Climate Change and The Next American Migration, author Jake Bittle writes:

“With every passing year, indeed with every new season, climate change forces more people out of their homes. By the time you read this, some new and unforeseen calamity may have already come to dominate the headlines. The levees are already breaking, the rivers are already running dry, the fire is already snaking through the forest. The world is already being remade, but its future shape is far from set in stone. The next century may usher us into a brutal and unpredictable world, a world in which only the wealthiest and most privileged can protect themselves from dispossession, or it may usher us into a fairer world—a world where one’s home may not be impregnable, but where one’s right to shelter is guaranteed. Both worlds are possible. We still have time to choose between them.”
