Florida and Texas are expected to take the biggest economic hit from climate change
Market Watch ^ | April 24, 2018 | By Ciara Linnane

Florida and Texas are the two states expected to suffer the greatest economic damage from climate change, according to a new study from Science magazine.

The study used a model that aimed to calculate the future impact on each state’s gross domestic product (GDP) from events including hurricanes, storm surges, changes in agricultural yields, changing electricity demands, changes in mortality rates, changes to the labor supply, rising sea levels and rising crime rates.

The study comes amid a concerted effort by climate activists to help the U.S. meet the goals of the Paris Accord of limiting temperature change to below 2 degrees Celsius by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. That goal has been put at risk by President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the U.S. from the treaty.

I’m in Texas and so far this year have experienced the coolest Spring I can remember.

If the sky is supposed to fall, it had better hurry before the fake narrative loses steam.

I have only turned on the AC for about 5 days so far.

Many has been the time we are breaking 100 F by now.

Tomorrows high here at Dallas is predicted at 69 F.

VERY strange.

Climate “scientists” worry that islands may tip over and/or slip off the edge of the flat earth.

Emergency funding needed immediately!

It is almost like the climate knows who voted for Trump.

This is the type of ‘climate change’ I can support.

I’m sure it is just a coincidence that the two biggest Red Electoral States will supposedly be hardest hit, and the hardest hyped by the left of their impending doom if they keep electing Repubs.

In Central Texas, we have not had our air conditioning on at all so far. If this is climate change, we are in favor of it.

When real climate change occurs, and it will, it will be in the form of global cooling and total ice and snow cover moving south from the far north.

Everything north of Pittsburgh will be under a lot of ice.

We can handle it becuase it’s already hot as hell here. But you know what makes it livable: Cold A/C powered by cheap, abundant electricity even when the sun is down and the wind is not blowing.

Let’s see them rerun the models for electricity that is not affordable or not available 24/7 and I bet the impact is MUCH greater.

I saw the predictions from the original Earth Day in 1970. According to them, we’re already dead.
