Bye, Bye Red States. This is what you get for climate change denial!!!
This map is the climate resilience screening index map, which is a map of the climate resilience screening index, which is designed to be sensitive to changes in the natural environment, built
environment, governance, and social structure and vulnerability or risk
to climate events.
CRSI has been used to develop an index score for climate resilience at
the county level (scalable both upward and downward spatially) the
represents both the vulnerability of the entity to multiple climate
events and the potential recoverability of these entities from climate
events. The approach uses five domains (natural environment, built
environment, governance, social structures and risk) and 20 indicators
related to the domains. CRSI characterizes holistic climate resilience
throughout the US at the county level (2000-2015); ascertains the
relationships among those domains and indicators; and, provide
information regarding how that resilience score is constructed and the
actions a community/county can take to improve their climate resilience.
The short form: it's how badly you are screwed when the effects of climate change start becoming even more obvious. And hard to remediatee: as in forget electric cars--you're gonna need a bike, or to walk.
