I want to plan for the effects of climate change. Where can I read what effects are likely to happen, when and where? I want to know what systems I can or can’t rely on, which places will be more hospitable etc.
I’d like something concise and accessible for a lay person. A short book would be preferable.
I keep my location quiet online, but insurance company reports is an interesting avenue
That makes sense!
Well here is an example from the company First Street in the US. This report has a breakdown for each state.
https://firststreet.org/research-library/the-cost-of-climate
(just search for “the cost of climate first street” the pdf is freely available you don’t have to enter in nonsense name and email to get it from my link, I just don’t want to randomly link to a pdf directly it feels sketch lol so I linked to the report information on their website)
This is really the only place here that fossil fuel money can’t obliterate the truth since Insurance companies are also very rich and actually have a vested interest in having a clear vision of the future risk environment (and for their customers having a clear vision of the future), the academic world is fucked and you can’t really rely on them being able to tell you how it is actually going to be since they have no money and the institutions that should be defending science just rolled over to Trump soo…
Hopefully it is different elsewhere in the world :(
