As mentioned in my remarks to the US House O&R committee, #ClimateMigration is becoming a significant climate vulnerability for #Orlando, with studies showing we could receive up to 500k new residents before end of the Century directly due to #ClimateChange impacts.

“Don’t think of it as the warmest month of August in California in the last century,” one climate scientist wrote. “Think of it as one of the coolest months of August in California in the next century.” nyti.ms/2RWL8UD
