Since 1980, there have been 395 weather disasters in the US, with total damages over $1 billion.

These disasters have cost $2.77 trillion in total and killed 16,500 people.

Don't tell me we "can't afford" to address the climate crisis.

The truth is we can’t afford not to.

@rbreich Well yeah, but the disaster costs tend to get spread out over the entire population, while addressing climate change will hurt a relatively small number of very rich people.
