How climate change might force U.S. migration North and where they could go .
Climate change is sometimes pouring down or boiling above. But it's not always obvious. And for a segment of the population throughout the United States, climate change could be the culprit that displaces them, creating a class of American refugees. Rising sea levels and temperatures are already uprooting residents leading some experts to question if we’ll see a mass migration north.
It’s not just fish that are being watched and heading for cooler dwellings, but caribou, birds, insects and even plants. “Every organism has a certain set of conditions where it’s comfortable to live and reproduce,” Patrick Schoff, a biologist at the University of Minnesota Duluth told Newsweek. “Increasing our tax base will lead to more jobs and a more vibrant community for our businesses and residents, and we welcome an influx of citizens for any reason,” she wrote.“Rochester was a city that had over 300,000 residents at one point – so we have ample housing stock to handle this," she stated.

But after so many years pass,"eventually some unlucky homeowner is going to be left holding the bag." Superstorm Sandy struck over Halloween in 2012. And it was a monster. The East Coast was decimated by its biblical storm surges that killed 117 people -- 22 of them on Staten Island.
And while her husband managed to scale up a neighbor's rooftop to ride out the flooding, she also lost another neighbor who happened to be her brother, Leonard. He led scores of fellow Staten Island stakeholders to get help and secured 185 homes to be purchased outright by appealing to Gov. Andrew Cuomo and utilizing the state and Federal Emergency Management Association’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, which cut checks worth pre-storm sums.
