The cost of increasing climate disasters and the economic warfare against Russia
This week as severe flooding causes havoc in south east Queensland and parts of NSW, two important, relevant reports were released. One by the Insurance Council of Australia outlining what the Federal and State Governments need to invest to protect against the cost of increasing climate disasters and one by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change with a very grim outlook for Australia if emissions aren't cut dramatically. Nicki Hutley, independent economist and Economist with the Climate Council untangles the numbers and considers what we're facing with these current floods.
