Loved this book. Well-written, evidence-focused, and comprehensive study of what we can expect in the next 100 years of climate change. The book actually focuses very little on climate per se, and instead is about the human impacts and the way that slow-moving and interweaved human systems (i.e. real estate markets, banks and loan companies, insurance brokers, regional employers, local governments) have established incentive structures that will determine exactly how climate change is experienced by people. And (according to the author) it doesn’t look good. Think real estate market bubble, default crises and bank runs, government budgets drying up, etc. All of this is illustrated through beautifully told personal stories of people already being pushed out of their homes by climate change.
