Why Adapting to Climate Change Will Be So Expensive

The climate change deniers frequently offer three contradictory responses as their position becomes more and more untenable in the face of mounting evidence, to wit 1 There is no climate change, 2 it'll be cheaper to adapt to climate change than prevent it, and 3 climate change is good for us—it will improve agriculture and open the Arctic to resource exploitation. It is the second of these that I wish to discuss.

In the face of so-called 'rain bombs'—a recent one dropped 9 inches in 11 hours in one location and 20 inches in another—and rampant sea-level rise, the city is having a hard time keeping up. Consider this 'he National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts that south Florida could see almost 11 extra inches of ocean by 2040.' Which leads us to a second reason adaptation will be costly It doesn't easily lend itself to cookie-cutter solutions.
