This (& many other reasons) is why catastrophic climate disasters will exact huge tolls, increasing every year until we stop pumping CO2 into the air and people... that's going to be a long time (we're in fact still increasing the amount of emissions).

And not just property values will get "harmed"

Is anyone in the feed by any chance a European-based economist or sociologist who happens to be working on anything related to climate change and the sea?
We need some input/collaboration on the topic for a project.

This is cooked!

We should be making it much cheaper to switch to electric and low emissions small cars — and prohibitively expensive to drive Ford Rangers etc.

There are many methods we can use to tackle the #climateCrisis#climateChange by reducing our dependency on #fossilFuels

Personally, I am inclined to embrace #Kyiv's method for doing so:

Just fucking bomb the refineries

"#Ukraine knocks out 17% of #Russia’s oil capacity — and that’s just this month, Reuters says

#Moscow’s #energySecurity unravels as Ukraine escalates long-range attacks on its most vulnerable assets."

Look at the AI-generated shit passing as journalism these days.

'The article discusses the issue of missed strikes and missed balls in football games, focusing on the accuracy of umpires.'

The item is entirely & only about MLB. Beyond the idiocy quoted above, check out the nonsensical section on 'worst umpire ever' and the many binary contradictions in the text.

We’re killing the planet for this vomit?

WTF?

Not the climate change risk to which people, communities, humanity are exposed, but the climate change risk in which banks are exposed!!

ECB President Lagarde: "It is our duty to check the climate change risk to which banks are exposed."
