The longest night: coming home in the age of apocalypse.


Across the climate frontier, and especially in rural Alaska, entire communities have already begun the process of relocating en masse. In the wealthy cities of the world, this undertaking inspires a profound dread. Miami has been elegized many times over. But the most vulnerable have no time for elegies; they are too busy with the real business of adapting to life on a changing planet."
