Wow: "we estimate that if France had begun its fertility decline at the same time as England, 320.4 million people of French ancestry would be living outside of France today, instead of 23.8 million"

How worried should we be about climate refugees?
Much less, I now believe, than you may have been told.
We should be more concerned about the people who will not be able to migrate, I tell the brilliant @monica_debolle on this just-out @piie podcast—> sites.libsyn.com/531482/how-…

See below for a good summary of what has happened in WNC. Notably, "our state’s long-running benchmark for deaths during a tropical event – approximately 80 during the mountain region’s July 1916 flood – could be in jeopardy from this storm."

The extent of Helene's devastation in western NC is still being discovered, but the data shows this was a record-breaking event that has earned a spot among our state's worst storms ever. #ncwx
Our Climate Blog has an early look at Helene and its impacts:
