Or will they develop new ways of peaceful living? Will the rest of the world allow them to live in peace?

will the climate migrants be allowed to settle down in relatively safer places? How many will be allowed to do so? Who will be allowed? Under what conditions? How will the migrants cope with the massive transition? Will they take the good and bad aspects of their current lives to the new land?

In this novel, set in the near future, I explore a world in which a large number of people move away from dangerous places to a safer one. In an era of draconian restrictions on migration, this story attempts to explore several challenging questions -

How we adapt to those impacts will be a major preoccupation for the rest of our lives and beyond. Adaptation would require efforts to help people survive in their existing homes and/or help people relocate to more habitable environments.

From the back flap -
A fair bit of global warming is already baked in even if we manage to quickly bring down future GHG emissions. The effects of climate change are being felt in catastrophic ways in many places around the world.

The city was, specifically, created for millions of climate refugees in the aftermath of a catastrophic heat wave. Then the second one happens. The only similarity between the two victims threatens the very future of Sequoia. The killer is willing to go to any lengths to avoid capture.

Blurb - Alia, a precocious police detective, is feverishly hunting the killer responsible for the first-ever murder in the city of Sequoia located within the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia.

This is what I explore in "A New Faith" - the #city of Sequoia is built from scratch in the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia solely for climate refugees. It is dense and has no personal vehicles at all.

Hard to go fossil free? Not really henry.
This series of graphics show what China is doing. It is extraordinary that we have this powerhouse, at a time when the US is prosecuting wars about oil, and blocking renewables and EVs at home.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.
The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
Even if oil prices get back to “normal,” the disruption should be a wake-up call to move faster on alternative energy sources. If blocking one sea lane is all it takes to send gas prices soaring, then we need to move away from fossil fuels — fast.

In Sequoia, the fictional #city from "A New Faith", this idea is explored fully. All the residents are #climate refugees and from different parts of the world. The diversity principle underlies why the are so innovative.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
US solar installation: Down 14% between 2024 and 2025.
Chinese solar installation: Up 14% between 2024 and 2025.
Last year China installed more than 7 times more solar capacity than the US. So much for energy dominance...
Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.
The dealer needs to keep you addicted.
