The figures speak for themselves

The figures speak for themselves – climate change is costing $billions.

It has been argued in a story on Climate Progress headed: “The $188 billion price tag from U.S extreme weather from 2011 to 2012” that damage from floods, drought, storms, and wildfires has produced an alarming and measurable cost.

The prediction in the story by Daniel J. Weiss and Jackie Weidman is that these costs will only grow over time.

Climate change, of course, has no respect for human constructs such as national boundaries and the world-wide damage from our rather sorry treatment of our atmosphere can only get worse, including in Australia.
