Researchers warn the hazards of climate change will only get worse, for the planet and the economy. Items as varied as groceries and insurance will get more expensive.
I’ll add to that that it will be exacerbated by the fact that many locales have not built homes to a spec that includes climate extremes (if this is mentioned in the article, I can’t read past the paywall).
So not only will many structures have a harder time keeping up, but they weren’t designed to withstand the extremes in the first place (e.g. cheap windows, weak or no insulation, etc.).
