Real estate, the bedrock of the American economy, is worth over 45 trillion dollars. Climate change has started to erode that foundation.
In an effort to keep up with the increasing risk of natural disasters, insurance companies are raising premiums at a rapid rate. In some places, properties are uninsurable.
When insurance premiums go up, property values go down.
