<span style="font-size:12.0pt" class="ContentPasted0">1. Unpriced climate risk to property has led to a real estate bubble. A map of unpriced climate risk in the US shows where the risk is most intense. “Where meeting that risk is more expensive than decision-makers
think a place is worth, it simply won’t be defended. It will be unofficially abandoned.” The losses will then snowball as bonds, loans, and insurance suffer. Coastal property is at obvious risk, and so is property in areas experiencing drought, excessive heat,
wildfires, and inadequate water supply. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes" class="ContentPasted0">

by previous legislation, and that even without the new standards over 50% of vehicles sold by 2030 would be likely to be EVs. Materials and manufacturing capacity are not likely to be impediments. “The EPA’s initial estimate is that the regulations would reduce
carbon emissions by around ten billion tonnes over the next three decades. That is more than double the United States’ emissions last year, or more than one-quarter of the global total.”
