From ruined bridges to dirty air, EPA scientists price out the cost of climate change

Among them were the sobering projections that damage to coastal property, primarily on the Gulf and East coasts, will reach $120 billion per year by 2090; lost labor productivity due to hotter temperatures, particularly in the South and Midwest, will cost $155 billion per year; and deaths from extreme heat waves and cold snaps will equal $140 billion per year.The new study offers an even richer picture of the EPA’s analysis, said Ekwurzel, who contributed to the climate assessment.

For instance, most of the northern half of the country will experience greater air pollution because of climate change. The Midwest will see more harmful algal blooms, like those that have choked Lake Erie in recent years. And the Northwest will experience a spike in electricity demand, mainly for cooling, and endure more severe flooding.

Yeah and Hillary is going to be president

It’s all over in twelve years, bruh 😂

Fossil Fuels:That is the fuel that has driven our progress. Discovering, understanding & converting not only the energy stored but manipulating the molecular structure to make materials is what has been driving our “progress”. If it weren’t for oil, we would still be in 19th C!

‘Unchecked climate change.’

According to AOC we only have 12 years left until the end of earth. So don't worry. Enjoy the last 12 years or less of your life.

I have an idea, plant as much a possible trees around the fold that will stop the effects for some years and giving time to new plan

Any estimate on the cost of uncontrolled migration?

What will the cost of illegal immigration cost use by then?

realDonaldTrump LouDobbs Even the 3 pigs knew better than to build their houses on sand. Houses built on sand should not be eligible for insurance or government bailouts.

If it is caused by human activity what’s the cost of eliminating fossil fuels globally? How many people would die or be plunged into poverty as a result?

Nothing but guessing.

That’s a bunch of political garbage

81 years ahead. Sorry, show me any 81 year forecast that has been even remotely accurate.

Inflation adjusted?

EPA is a joke

poppycock

I rewrote it for you... By the end of the century, the manifold consequences of unchecked climate change will ADD hundreds of billions of dollars per year to the US economy, according to a new study by a user on Twitter.

Now Price out the cost of the policies promoted by Climate Change Nazis, like Cortez and Trudeau.

*counts* I think I'll be dead by then.

The earth is destroyed in 12 years per AOC. LA TIMES IS FAKE NEWS.

Note: this projection goes out double the length of time since the warnings of the coming ice age.

What about the ruined bridges we have now?

Many Billions are & will be spent (regardless of mini steps) on repairing/replacing damaged infrastructure from natural deterioration & erosion, normal effects of rust, wind, ice, age, fire and water. Where’s the quality of life trade off? Just political gain & profiteering?

We are all going to be dead in 12 years so it doesn’t matter

By the end of the decade, California will fall apart if the consequences of re-electing democrats goes unchecked

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Bridges and roads never failed due to erosion before this GW scare. Yeah, right.

It's hard to take a writer serious who doesn't know that CO2 is an invisible, odorless, tasteless trace gas. I.e., you cannot see it (dirty air?) in the atmosphere. As our ongoing climate change has remained consistent for many years, alarmists claims of otherwise are absurd!

science doesn’t have a clue how much humans contribute to climate change and are clueless how much methane the earth spews (30x worse)

I suspect you've officially run out of things to write about.

Translation...Throw insane amounts of taxpayers money into untested and unfounded green schemes...immediately and without question.

How about we all call bullshit on this scare tactic article from a rag that even the homeless people living on the streets of LA wouldn't wipe their rear ends with. Try another article about how we're not supposed to call illegal aliens out as illegal.

Do you think that the climate can be made to stay static? If so, how high must the carbon tax be to keep the climate from changing? Would this end the damage from storms? What is the ideal temperature? How would you gauge success? AGW

These people aren't really 'scientists'. They're advocates.

End of century? According to aoc everyone will die in 12 years. Stop the nonsense and stop the silly fear mongering.

The manifold consequences of lying sack of crap journalists are already causing great harm to this country.

Aside from failing to put these numbers into some kind of inflation-adjusted context, the studies does nothing to factor in the cost of shifting away from fossil fuels, which even the most ardent climate activists admit would be a number well beyond hundreds of billions per year.

Once again, climate change is a hoax, check hockey stick theory IPCC based its opinion and everyone bandwagoned to be cultists. So, a theory based on a hoax? huh...

EPA staffed by Obama lovers.

FakeNews propaganda. ClimateScam

Looks great so awsome

Peanuts compared to the cost of adopting boondoggles like the 'Green New Deal' or other wild goose chases to 'fight climate change'.

So, according to that, the total impact is going to be $1.000.000 million/year by 2090. Current US GDP: $20.500.000 million Assuming 1,6% GDP annual growth till 2090, US GDP will be $63.000.000 million. So, after all the drama, the total cost of Climate Change is 1,5% GDP!

Since the beginning of time climate never remained the same, what's so alarming about it now? That's nothing but B.S.

The Sky is Falling...why listen to doom and gloom scientists...they haven't any idea what will happen in the next 80+ years...but scare folks... right?

Qualify the word “change “.

‘...a study by scientists.’

Isn't that infrastructure?

It’s ok we will be dead in 12 yrs AOC bartender turned idiot turned sciencefiction

There is no global warming or what ever new name you nuts want to put on this today. I've been surfing this coast line since 1968 and nothing has changed.
