Environmental economist focused on regulatory impact, adaptation, and resilience. I translate complex research into clear insights for decision-makers. Views are my own, not my agency’s; sharing or liking isn’t an endorsement.

This is “putting lives, livelihoods and entire economies at risk”

Today, the U.S. faces one billion+ dollar climate/weather disaster on average every 2w. That's a massive increase from one every 4m in the 1980s.
This is 'global weirding' and people are taking notice!
The government told NOAA to stop tracking these events: but @climatecentral.org is on the job.
