In a recent opinion piece, The New York Times author Jeff Goodell discusses the escalating climate risks in U.S. urban areas, emphasizing the potential for catastrophic outcomes if extreme heat and power outages coincide. The piece suggests that property markets must account for the increased risks of heatwaves, advocating for investment in resilient infrastructure and energy-efficient technologies to mitigate the impact of future climate events. Goodell emphasised: “One of the most dangerous illusions of the climate crisis is that the technology of modern life makes us invincible. Humans are smart. We have tools. Yeah, it will cost money. But we can adapt to whatever comes our way”. Full article👉 https://nyti.ms/4eHLQOv #climatecrisis #physicalrisk #climatescenario #heatwave #unitedstates
