* Most people can't touch the current prices because they've been inflated by the destruction caused by fires, floods, hurricanes, atmospheric rivers, tornadoes, etc. all accelerating due to climate change.
* New Orleans has never recovered from Katrina.
* You might have noticed that California insurance companies were cancelling fire policies as their customers homes burnt to the ground.
* Some will have to walk away, defaulting on their mortgage payments, and property taxes, jeopardizing local government revenue / budgets. Municipal bond failures.
* The smartest guys in the room predict that climate 'costs' WILL exceed the entire global GDP at some point. The USA is already in trouble.
* Future 100-mph Santa Ana winds must be factored in to any reconstruction scenario. Atmospheric energy is only going to increase, and it's 'non-linear'.
* 'Future-proofing' all construction is currently a 'problem' with no 'solution.'
* Global food production is in decline. You need to disabuse yourself of any notion of a new, 'green revolution.' STEM can't keep up.
* If you followed 'climate', you'd know that the polar bear are just another 'canary in the coal mine.' It's the loss of sea ice that will kill billions.
* The loss of major river headwaters will kill billions more.
* If you ever read what I post you'd already know that Guatemalans are dropping dead at work, trying to get sugar to STARBUCKS. The heat-index is so high that they cannot remain hydrated, and fall over dead from renal failure. Same for some in Maricopa County, Arizona. Dallas Texas. Europe. Africa. They're not 'wealthy', already living on the margins.
* The monkeys of Kenya have already taken to 'caves' to escape the killer heat, but they'll all be extinct by 2030 as heat increases.

When I was a kid there were less than 15,000 polar bears, now only 40,000 remain.....
