How often do these risks have to be highlighted before any government builds these #ClimateCosts into the price of inaction? Is @teamlabouruk.bsky.social listening? We know the Tories and Reform have their heads in the sand, despite the real risks to their base...
@suebigoil.bsky.social and @wcelaw.bsky.social in the news. Their report to Surrey city council shows growing costs of climate change and proposes recouping funds in class-action lawsuit.

"The US has spent nearly $1 trillion dollars on disaster recovery & other climate-related needs over the 12 months ending May 1"
Even the US can't keep paying out billions & billions for bad weather

The GOP lies about inflation. But Americans are feeling it—especially at the grocery store.
Coffee? Up 13.4%.
Beef? Up 10.3%.
Eggs? 27.3%.
What’s driving it? A planet on fire, crops collapsing, and supply chains buckling.
Let’s break it down.👇

Louisiana's huge Meta AI hub, touted as a game changer, means new gas plants for its massive power needs. AI's boom is fueling fossil reliance, challenging green pledges & locking in emissions. #AIEnergy #ClimateCosts #TechFuture
🔥 Think California’s wildfires don’t affect you? Think again. From rising insurance rates to nationwide food prices, these disasters have a bigger impact than you realize. #WildfireImpact #ClimateCosts
"Here in Georgia, Hurricane Michael (2018) and Hurricane Helene (2024) caused billions of dollars in damages to our agriculture and timber economies. Georgia grows a lot of peanuts, pecans, and cotton, which means you likely paid more for a shirt or peanut butter along the way." #ClimateCosts #Food
Some treat #climateaction as a peculiar fetish...

Thin on deets, but this report is a start.

Short-term savings: $20–$30B/year from increased fossil fuel production.
Long-term costs: $100–$500B over decades due to climate disasters, health impacts & infrastructure damage. #EnergyPolicy #ClimateCosts
The Regional District of #CentralKootenay has #ClimateCosts that BC won’t cover. A class action lawsuit "is a highly effective and cost effective way to get a big pot of money rather than waiting more years until we have to triple property taxes." #ClimateLitigation #bcpoli @suebigoil.bsky.social

With cost of living pressures, some believe climate action can wait—but that will only make things worse!
Without urgent action to reduce emissions & adapt to climate risks, the price of inaction will be far greater.
We can’t afford not to act on climate

The fossil fuel industry will always appear profitable, and will make decisions that put their profits ahead of our safety, as long as they do not pay even a fraction of the #climatecosts that their products cause. Want CEOs and politicians to make better decisions for our planet? #SueBigOil
From the bush to the ‘burbs, insurance costs are rising. Meanwhile, the fossil fuel companies causing the problem are making billions in profit.
We’re working hard to change this. Join us bushfiresurvivors.org/joinus
Kelly & Jo would really appreciate it 🧡

Good speech from @mikeschreiner.bsky.social focusing (we don't do this enough) on the #climatecrisis, #flooding & #climatecosts (1 day of rain in Toronto cost over $4 billion)—& related issues of biking, trucking, gridlock, housing, waterways, species, farming, value for money

In 2024: "Five storms strengthened into major #hurricanes, a Category 3 or higher. A typical season only has three major hurricanes"

The video here from @mikeschreiner.bsky.social is pretty great; the text less so
Why accuse companies of greed, or @fordnation of being in cahoots with Big Gas?
Let's focus on #climatecosts & on an urgent plan for everyone (inclu. @Enbridge) to #slashemissions
