Just in time for my retirement! Thank goodness they’re optimistic they’ll solve the disruptions to Provide Payment, Clearing, and Settlement Services and Provide Capital Markets and Investment Activities by 2100.

Water, housing and medical care… not so much…

  1. I love the “250+ recommendations” for action to prepare.

    Not ONE of them says “reduce or eliminate fossil fuel use.” Nice work there asshats.

  2. This will happen.  Gaia is going to throw a tantrum, and *shake the table*

  4. >The United States used to experience around three billion-dollar weather disasters a year, adjusted for inflation, federal numbers show. By the early 2000s, that had risen to six. In the 2010s, it was more like 13. During the past five years, the U.S. has averaged around 20 billion-dollar disasters every year. And last year, the number was 28.

    Annual cost of weather disasters, US

    – $ 3 B/yr 1900s
    – $ 6 B/yr early 2000s
    – $13 B/yr 2010s
    – $20 B/yr avg over last 5 yrs
    – $28 B/yr last year

  5. That’s not possible. Almost every company pledged to be carbon free by then!
