Flood damages in coastal counties alone would be well over $4.7 Trillion by 2100 (accounting for half of the value of insured properties). Then we tack on the costs of adaptation, hurricane intensity, heat waves, public health, ozone levels, water scarcity, transportation, agriculture, energy infrastructure, loss of income from tourism, and wildfires... to name a few.

Or we can just ignore the experts, wait it out, and hope for the best.
