It will be a guide for future American migrants and for communities receiving them. Slade suggests that sparsely populated areas north of 49 N (Canada) may benefit from climate change and will provide a “Northern Ark” -- a place that will remain habitable with plentiful fresh water and the ability to grow food He advocates preparing for the influx of climate refugees with specific resettlement programs similar to former USSR and Finland’s northern colonization schemes or the US resettlement plans during the Great Depression Borrowing an idea from the conservation movement, he advocates creating a “New North” where displaced humans are assisted in creating new settlements close to established communities
