I don't see this as a big deal. We all pretty much know what we're in for, even if we're not familiar with the area. You know Texas is hot, California catches fire and the Gulf Coast catches hurricanes.

In any case, I wouldn't trust a private company's data on climate risks. If I'm considering such a huge spend, going to do some due diligence. FEMA gave me a flood map in seconds, free.

Kinda funny the realtors backed Zillow up on this. Zillow should have told them to get bent, we need this because our competition has it. What are they gonna do? Not use Zillow? 😆

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world. About 1C of total warming. Second chart: about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability. Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases. About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
