"homes labeled as 'extreme' flood risk experience a 3.3% price discount and stay on the market for a week longer" Sure hope those risk labels have verifiable methodology, considering they "remain pervasive across different FEMA floodplain designations" 🙃 www.nber.org/papers/w35516
Hurricane Hunters don't just improve landfall forecasts - they also improve post-landfall track and rainfall journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...
"The increase from urbanisation (29%) is almost twice that from climate change (16%). Both factors combine nonlinearly to increase flood extent by more than the sum of their parts."
Peter StottNew paper in the Quarterly Journal of the @rmets.org by Daniel Cotterill, @climatedann.bsky.social, me, Paul Bates, Youtong Rong and Leanne Archer advances climate attribution by finding increasing urban flash flood risk attributable both to climate change and development. doi.org/10.1002/qj.7...
Timely... "Canada’s 2023 wildfire smoke caused a 2.8 percent drop in solar power generation, costing two billion dollars" Follows the @costasamaras.com rule where you know exactly what you get from the title Haven't gotten to do this in a minute: Physical risk 🤝 Transition risk
Canada’s 2023 wildfire smoke caused a 2.8 percent drop in solar power generation, costing two billion dollars - Communications Earth & EnvironmentWildfire smoke caused a 6.38 ± 8.86 terawatt hour solar power loss (2.8 percent) and about 1.88-billion-dollar cost, according to an Earth system model comparing simulations with and without wildfire ...www.nature.comIf you want to wade in on insurance markets, you need at least a cursory understanding of insurance markets. It's a "puzzle" why Denver has high premiums? Some of the highest hail losses in the country. High LA costs come from... earthquake?? Probably would be true if anyone bought EQ insurance.
California YIMBYHome insurance premiums jumped 46% since 2018, nearly double inflation. Now, 1 in 6 new buyers spends over 3% of their income on insurance alone, with low-income homeowners paying the highest rates relative to their property values. www.urban.org/urban-wire/h...
I was confused by the worm in a shoe but then...wholesome? Libraries! 📚♥️📚
Reo EvelethI need you all to know that the Berkeley Public Library has solicited submissions for a new mascot, and you can now vote for the contestants and I'm losing my mind. berkeleypublic-library.github.io/Fiber-Mascot...
This figure of increasing number of buildings exposed to fires in the west is... striking
Mukesh KumarHappy to share our new paper in @agu.org Earth's Future with @pyrogeog.bsky.social @climate-guy.bsky.social @mojisadegh.bsky.social. We investigated three key drivers of home survivability—building age, surrounding fuels, and fire weather conditions. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
