About a year ago, PBS had a program examining the most likely “Havens” from climate change in the US.
They settled on Northern Vermont.
Turns out, not so much. This summer’s vicious pounding storms left a trail of destruction in that area, and actually showed how vulnerable Vermont’s communities, like Montpelier, hugging a river valley among the mountains, are extremely vulnerable to extreme rain events. Seems like someone might have been able to envision this, given the trends of climate-driven precipitation.
