AI Summary
Ever wonder where millions of people will go as climate change reshapes coastlines, farmland, and livable temperatures around the world? This episode of Stuff You Should Know dives into climate migration—covering everything from Syria's drought-fueled civil war to sinking Pacific islands, exploitative labor practices in receiving countries, and surprising climate winners and losers right here in the US.
