The US could lose 2 trillion USD due to climate change

A US official assessment shows that the impact of climate change on the budget could cost a total of 7.1% of revenue per year by the end of this century, equivalent to 2 trillion USD a year. in current dollar value.

The assessment also found that increased wildfires could increase the cost of extinguishing fires by $1.5 billion to $9.6 billion annually.

More than 12,000 federal buildings and structures could be flooded with sea level rise, with a replacement cost of nearly $44 billion.

Future damages could be worse than current ones if greenhouse gas emissions continue unabated.
