"By not putting climate risk squarely on the table...the muni bond apparatus has a tendency to squelch public finance aimed at adapting to climate change: investing in safer places, taking infrastructure out of commission in dangerous places, building in safer ways."
Florida’s growth is outpacing its ability to manage climate risks. Hurricanes, rising seas, and insurance strain are forcing a reckoning. Yet rebuilding continues, ignoring the mounting costs. Is Florida a preview of what’s to come for other states? susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/florida-man-…
Between 2002 and 2023, Antarctica shed an average of 150 billion metric tons of ice per year The Thwaites Glacier is ‘hanging on by its fingernails’: buff.ly/44yHuVv There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

The muni bond market powers America’s infrastructure but it wasn’t built for climate change. Issuers avoid climate disclosures, investors overlook long-term risks, adaptation projects stall. What happens when weather finally disrupts this fragile system? susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/a-taxpayers-…
An "accidentally rewilded" 377-acre UK farm is now home to many threatened species, including turtle doves, warblers, 11 bat species, orchids + butterflies. Such examples prove how nature can recover when we let it, + that rewilding reverses nature loss. theguardian.com/environment/20…
“One of the sites in the Permian Basin in Texas is by far the No. 1 worst polluting site in the entire world.” 😟 One place in the U.S. is labeled 'by far the No. 1 worst polluting site in the entire world' seattletimes.com/seattle-news/h…
New report in @Nature assesses 1 billion tons of CO2e reductions in thousands of so called carbon mitigation projects. The result? 84% of the carbon credits issued to the investigated projects do not constitute real emission reductions #cop29 nature.com/articles/s4146…
America’s muni bond market feels stable—but it’s built on incentives that downplay climate risks. Ignoring adaptation now means skyrocketing costs later. Can this system adjust before the shocks come? #Infrastructure #ClimateChange #MunicipalFinance susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/a-taxpayers-…
Philippines reels as five major storms strike in three weeks "Each time, houses and government infrastructure such as roads, airports, and seaports, as well as crops and livestock are damaged. Power, water supplies and communication lines are cut"... theguardian.com/world/2024/nov…
Things like "thinking ahead" and readiness for Climate Change are only going to get much harder now that we are going to have a Federal Government that thinks those things are a waste of money (as is ANYTHING that doesn't go directly into the hands of the oligarchs)
South Florida’s flood infrastructure—built decades ago—is at a breaking point. Gravity can't drain the canals, sea levels are rising, and storms are intensifying. With billions in needed repairs, the question is: can we adapt in time? #ClimateAdaptation susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/a-matter-of-…
Commercial real estate faces skyrocketing insurance costs and limited coverage, driven by climate risks. As costs rise, lenders are left exposed, and defaults loom. #CRE #InsuranceCrisis #ClimateRisk susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/sharing-the-…
Big oil firms knew of dire effects of fossil fuels as early as 1950s, memos show theguardian.com/us-news/2024/n…
Rising seas and extreme storms are overwhelming South Florida’s outdated flood control system. The cost to update it? Billions. But with predictions of rapid sea level rise ahead, today’s fixes may be just the beginning. #Florida #FloodRisk #ClimateChange susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/a-matter-of-…

Planned relocation isn’t hypothetical—it’s necessary. Scientists say Western Antarctica’s melting could accelerate catastrophic sea-level rise. Waiting for disaster to take action isn’t planning; it’s surrender. susanpcrawford.substack.com/p/looking-for-… #ClimateCrisis #SeaLevelRise
You can't eat money. This year's chestnut harvest in #Greece has been decimated. It is expected to be about half the average of the past five years. Extreme weather conditions are also affecting cherries, apples, and walnuts across the region. #ClimateCrisis #Agriculture
Over 100 tons of dead fish in the port of Volos in central Greece, following a mass die-off attributed to extreme climate fluctuations. This isn't normal. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #vote #dumptrump

Wow - 2024 was the hottest year ever recorded, even surpassing the scorching temps of 2023. It was the first year to officially exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. With a record year for climate disasters, it's clear: we're a long way from (the goals set in) #Paris.
