Profitting from humanity's mistakes and inaction

Buying a house? OK, you’ve ordered a building inspection to check the condition of the house, but what about a “climate valuation” report to consider the impact of climate change?

This could be the new box to tick when buying property, with an Australian company planning to have climate valuation reports available by October.

Sydney-based company Climate Risk, said the climate valuation reports would provide a value impact assessment based on the risk of sea-level rise and flood inundation associated with climate change.

Read Jason Dowling’s story in today’s Melbourne Age - “Climate change inspections may join building inspections as prerequisites for buyers.”

(Whatever people do, someone, somewhere profits, that is accumulates some money. Climate change is no different for among all the resultant chaos will be someone “turning a dollar”, as is the case with Climate Risk, which has created a legitimate role for itself, although it has capitalized on the error of others, broadly humanity – Robert McLean.)
