A Climate Crisis Survival Guide: Adaptation Nation
Chief Climate Correspondent Bill Weir returns with an exploration into how human life as we know it is adapting to our changing climate. He seeks answers to how humankind can survive and thrive in an age of heat, drought, flood, and fire. His quest to find the heroes and innovators on the frontlines of this issue takes him across the globe, where he finds heroes building happier, healthier, and stronger communities built to withstand extreme weather in any form it takes.
"When I became a new dad in 2020," Weir said, "I looked down at my son and thought ‘Where will he be safe? 'What kind of shelter will he need? Who is building the smartest, safest, and most resilient communities?' His arrival helped spark this worldwide hunt for inspiration and in the end, I returned with a lot more hope than fear."
From a new "policy of shade" in scorching Phoenix to a floating neighborhood outside of Amsterdam to the rise of disaster-proof construction, Weir finds those on the cutting edge of adapting our way of life. With visits to London and Silicon Valley, he reveals the inventions and startups that have the investment blessing of Bill Gates and Tom Steyer.
He returns to Paradise, California, five years after the deadliest mainland fire in the last century and gets lessons from survivors on how to build a fireproof town with stronger shelter but an even stronger community. And he tours Florida's first solar-powered town, built in harmony with nature and to withstand modern storms. Babcock Ranch has now survived two major hurricanes without flooding or losing power and their design secrets are more relevant than ever.
