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.

Living here in North Dakota, I’m cheering on “climate change”. I’m looking forward to owning beachfront property!
We are in a solar minimum cycle. It’s a natural cycle. We should be preparing for colder winters and shorter growing seasons.
I’m tired of hearing about globull warming. The warmists need to put a sock in it and wake up!
Despite all this hysterical nonsense about what Americans have to do to avoid catastrophe, US greenhouse gas emissions have dropped back to about where they were in 1995 and are projected to continue dropping without any massive government tax and regulation program. Just let Capitalism take its course.
Models of economics based on models of weather based on models of climate change.
All based on dubious, unproved assumptions with no validation of the models used.
Hard to believe people take this nonsense seriously.
But, if it can be sold, the potential profits for those selling it include honors, and trillions of dollars to be redistributed.
Even more so, they include the power to direct nearly all of human affairs.
This week ain't looking good either, neither is the first part of next week.
Global Warming, my behind.
They predicted that our average life expectancy would be 42.
I attribute my longevity to clean living. And, 12-year-old Scotch.
Nice cherrypicking they did there.

The short answer: The usual suspects. Federal Government and radical leftist foundations and individuals.
I’m in DFW, and have only used the AC for a couple of days, but only because of humidity, not the heat.

You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.

Consider the source I say....
Serious all right, seriously nuts!
Everything north of Pittsburgh will be under a lot of ice.
Texas and Florida may indeed be hardest hit, then - by all the Canadians fleeing south.
That's what these liberal freaks said would happen back in the 70s with their global cooling crap. I remember everybody talking about the "coming ice age" in college.
Here's what Science magazine said back in Nov. 1969 on the subject:
The sky is falling OH NO!!! Florida and Texas; really? Hate Trump states much?
We’ll survive. Even thrive.
I guarantee it.
I got their Global Warming right here!
