Where is it safe to live?
Climate Haven is here to help you find answers. We break down the risks of climate change in simple, practical terms and show you how to plan ahead.
Whether you’re thinking about relocating your home or building a more resilient lifestyle, this website is your guide to safer ground.
Start here. Explore. And take the first steps toward discovering your Climate Haven.
All 50 states have warmed since 1970, the first Earth Day
Earth Day, April 22, is an opportunity to raise awareness around planetary-scale challenges — including climate change.
Concentrations of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are now far higher than at any point during at least the last 800,000 years.
The annual average concentration of CO2, a key greenhouse gas, was 427 ppm in 2025. That’s 31% higher than in 1970, the year of the first Earth Day.
These heat-trapping gases are building up in the atmosphere due to the pollution that results from burning fossil fuels (including coal, oil, and methane gas) for electricity, heating and cooling, transportation, and more.
The excess heat that these gases trap near Earth’s surface has caused global temperatures to rise faster than at any other time in at least the last 2,000 years. This warming puts people and ecosystems at risk from more frequent and intense extreme weather.
Climate Central analyzed average annual temperature trends since 1970 in 49 states and 242 U.S. cities (see Methodology) to understand how temperatures across the country have changed as heat-trapping pollution has continued to climb.
- The 49 states analyzed by Climate Central have warmed by 3.0°F on average since 1970.
- Alaska was the fastest-warming state by far (warming 4.4°F since 1970), due to its high latitude.
- Hawaii is also warming. The latest NOAA State Climate Summaries found warming across the Hawaiian islands since 1950. Honolulu has warmed 2.6°F since 1950; since 1975, the city has consistently been above the 1951-1980 average.
Fastest-warming U.S. cities
Some 240 major U.S. cities (99% of the 242 analyzed) have warmed since 1970.
- These 240 cities have warmed by 2.9°F on average since 1970.
- Some 206 cities (85% of the 242 analyzed) have experienced at least 2°F of warming.
- Grouping cities by climate region, the Southwest (+3.5°F), Upper Midwest (+3.2°F), South (+3.2°F), and Northeast (+3.0°F) have seen the most warming since 1970.
Reno, NV +7.9°
Las Vegas, NV +6.0°
El Paso, TX +5.9°
Burlington, VT +5.3°
Tyler, TX +5.3°
Climate action counts toward a safer future
If these pollution and warming trends continue, people and ecosystems will face increasing risks. But we have many options to cut heat-trapping pollution from energy, transportation, buildings, agriculture, and more.
Every tenth of a degree of avoided warming counts toward a safer futurefor younger generations.
The good news is that investment in the U.S. clean energy transition is still progressing, although it faces significant headwinds.
Accelerating recent progress in the manufacture and deployment of the following pollution-reducing technologies can reduce our reliance on planet-warming fossil fuels and ensure a cooler, safer future:
About Climate Central
Climate Central communicates climate change science, effects, and solutions to the public and decision-makers.
Pollution-reducing Technologies
Zero-emission vehicles: These vehicles use electric motors and have low or no tailpipe emissions of heat-trapping gases. Transportation is the leading source of heat-trapping pollution in 20 states, and accounts for 28% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
Heat pumps: These devices heat and cool buildings using electricity to transfer heat between indoor and outdoor spaces. Heat pumps are an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners. Energy use in homes and commercial buildings makes up 13% of U.S. emissions.
Solar power: Solar panels convert energy from the sun into electricity, providing a clean, renewable alternative to electricity generated by burning fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas(methane gas). Electric power is the leading source of heat-trapping pollution in 17 states, and accounts for 25% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
Wind power: Wind turbines convert energy from the wind into electricity, providing a clean, renewable alternative to electricity generated by burning fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas (methane gas). Electric power is the leading source of heat-trapping pollution in 17 states, and accounts for 25% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.

Announcing the 🛡SAFER GROUND🛡️ series
As climate impacts grow, many question whether life in high-risk big cities still makes sense
SAFER GROUND spotlights communities that share the feel and lifestyle of the big cities we love, but with fewer climate hazards and stronger foundations for resilience. These profiles combine risk data, local knowledge, and livability insights to help you imagine a future with fewer evacuations, clearer skies, cooler summers, and more peace of mind.
If you’re considering a relocation or simply exploring possibilities, use this series as your starting point toward a safer, better-aligned place to call home.
Safer Ground: Los Angeles
Greater Los Angeles is home to more than 17 million people — but the region faces mounting climate pressures. Wildfire smoke, extended droughts, extreme heat waves, and seismic risks are making life less predictable. Add in rising insurance costs and housing challenges, and many Angelenos are asking a new question...
Where can I move that is safer from the worst impacts of climate change, but still feels like LA?
CURRENT CLIMATE NEWS
Spring temperature whiplash is getting worse with climate change
The Hanford Sentinel - May 2, 2026 - Dramatic temperature jumps marked this March and April in the U.S. Northeast, making it hard to know what to dress for: chilly or sweltering conditions? Researchers have concluded that wild temperature swings are becoming more common as the world heats up.
ASEAN seeks review of climate change plan
Manila Standard - May 4, 2026 - ASEAN finance and environment officials have called for a fundamental review of climate change roadmap to include reconsideration of impacts as not just environmental challenges but fiscal shocks that demand whole-of-economy responses, smarter data systems, and bankable pipelines to unlock private capital.
An iconic bird is on the verge of extinction due to many small climate change impacts to its habitat
earth.com May 1, 2026 - A new study has found that a familiar Australian backyard bird, superb fairy-wrens, could disappear from a long-watched population within 30 to 40 years.
Dry springs, warm winters, and hot summers now appear to chip away at the birds across the year, turning modest stress into lasting decline.
The sub-Arctic town pitching itself as Canada's gateway to Europe
BBC May 1, 2026 - The Port of Churchill sits idle for most of the year, blanketed by snow and frozen by the bitter cold climate of Canada's sub-Arctic. It's only operational in the summer for four months, sometimes five.
But where weather is a hindrance, it has geography on its side - the northern Manitoba port sits on the Hudson Bay, a vast body of water with a direct route through the Bay's strait into the Labrador Sea and the north Atlantic Ocean.
Scientists are trying to solve the mystery of whether global warming is speeding up. A new study say
CNN - May 4, 2026 - Is the world getting hotter, faster? It’s a big question which has been puzzling and dividing scientists for years. A new paper says it has the answer, and it’s not good news.
