The TL;DR
- A hotter planet is making life more expensive due to climate change, with temperature changes alone cutting US incomes by 12% on average between 2000 and 2019.
- Climate change is steadily draining wealth in ways that aren’t as obvious, such as higher corn prices across the country due to a bad harvest in one area, affecting many industries that use corn.
- Everybody pays a “heat tax” as extreme heat disrupts harvests, affects workers’ health and productivity, and has cost the US economy an estimated $7 trillion in cleanup and higher insurance premiums in the past 12 years.
That’s brilliant actually. Call climate change a tax so the 'muricans would get it.
