Description
What does a warming planet cost, and who pays the bill? Parlee fellows Dan Holub, Ben Kurtz, and Nuaym Zaidi explore the economic impacts of extreme weather, rising temperatures, and disruptions to the agriculture and fishing industries. Plus, they’re putting a monetary value on the financial strain of rebuilding after a severe storm. Through a conversation case-studying real-world disasters, personal stories, and financial statistics, you'll learn how climate change reaches beyond the environment to affect jobs, wallets, and whole communities.
This episode of Nontechnically Speaking was co-produced by Dan Holub, Ben Kurtz, and Nuaym Zaidi.
