A Climate Council study warns the value of Australian real estate could plunge over the next decade as climate change makes many properties uninsurable.

A Climate Council study warns the value of Australian real estate could plunge over the next decade unless future governments have the political will to deal with climate change.The Climate Council estimates Australian real estate will lose $571b, or almost 9pc, of its value by 2030

That would wipe approximately 9 per cent of the nation's total residential property value — about as much as has been lost so far in the current property downturn, which is on track to be the worst in Australia's recent history. as many as one in 10 properties could become uninsurable by the end of this century due to climate changeClimate risk expert and report author Karl Mallon warned insurance companies were constantly updating their risk strategies, and could hike premiums to deal with extreme events such as rising sea levels, heatwaves and floods.

"Unfortunately this report shows there is a real cost of failing to act in the last four years," she argued. Various polls and surveys show climate change has risen towards the top of political issues at this election. Michael Slezak looks at how the parties' policies stack up.

When properties become swamps we'll have to take John Alexander's advice & move to higher ground.There are an awful lot of properties on low-lying ground around Oz. Will flooding be considered 'Acts of God? If not, don't buy insurance shares!

Wrong. But if it’s true. The properties were OVERVALUED

If the climate change council predicts property to go down then it is time to start buying more property. They have not go a single prediction right. Last week they said we had 10 years before the world will end. Do they just pick a new scare tactic every week.

W o l l o c k s !

If sea levels keep rising a lot of those rich people won’t have a mansion with a sea view they will just have a sea...how expensive will that be

Cannot put a price on a healthy planet. There is no elsewhere👍

Must read information! Don’t delay! Invest $9 and learn how to avoid $571 Billion dollars worth of property losses from real estate impacted by Climate Change. Auspol ClimateChange ABC

Well is that’s true my house will go up in value because I will be closer to the beach.

My old house was 300m to the beach and my new house is 2km to the beach. Kinda glad I moved further inland now.

FakeNews ClimateChangeHoax

auspropertyscam Banks are already onto this. With sea levels being destructive on property in coastal areas, & with a forecast SL rise of 1m or more inside of 50 years, the banks are seeking to have loan durations on affected properties reduced....just in case TheBankAlwaysWins

Who cares?

So what your saying if labor gets in all of a persons insurance goes up, car house personal. Using the climate to get rich, scam

Easily the most expensive scam in human history after organised religion.

Bullshit.

Australians more afraid of climate change than terrorismFor the first time, climate change has topped the list of potential threats to Australia in the Lowy Institute Poll. The biggest threat is that our students don’t want to attend lectures Who did they ask? I for one welcome climate change. We are overdue for an iceage and many studies suggest we have pushed that back even further. Well done SBS you’re part of the brainwashing brigade

The key marginal electorate that climate change will 'devastate', according to expertsClimate change hard to deny, natural or man made debatable, solutions none, trajectory is set. bulldust Over-exaggerated hype. Weather records have not been maintained for hundreds of years in Australia, neither has there been efforts to perform agriculture on the scale now being attempted. No wonder there is not enough climate-production balance !

'He’s defying scientific fact': Striking students confront Tony Abbott on climate changeStudents have once again taken to the streets, two weeks out from the federal election, to make sure climate change remains front and centre of political debate. The truth is the students are living fantastic lives thanks to coal, so we have a girl that got shot in the head saying go to school and now we have socialist teachers telling children not to go to school. Stop using children as pawns, cretins. I saw the pictures it looks like the children were taken hostage. Don’t vote for the dinosaur. He is genuinely clueless. Past his use by date. Vote for Zali

Is giving up flying the best way to stop climate change?I start sweating nervously every time I read about how air travel impacts the environment. I don't want to stay grounded. Another champagne socialist trying to rationalise their hypocrisy. Giving up the IPA and getting rid of them for ever would be quicker faster and more beneficial to humanity Yes, but the left won’t focus on that.. they exclusively run narrative rather than fact Like coffee cups.. rather than drinking less coffee (the right answer) they focus on reusable cups.. which take way more energy to produce and need to be washed in hot water each time! 🤔

Australians think climate change is a bigger threat than terrorism, poll revealsA Lowy Institute poll suggests almost two-thirds of Australians think climate change is a critical threat to the country's interests. Yep! Climate change and national security are interwoven, how long until Australians get that? Because they have been fed a pile of horse shit. Climate always has and always will change and there is absolutely *nothing* the people of Australia can do that has any measurable impact on that.
