🚏🌪️ The US is spending $1 trillion a year on climate damage

A new analysis from Bloomberg reveals that the US spent $1 trillion—a full 3% of GDP—on “disaster recovery and other climate-related needs” in the 12 months from May 2024 to May ‘25. Skyrocketing insurance costs (which have doubled since 2017), power outages, and post-disaster repair are major drivers. (Interestingly, scientists estimate that many geoengineering schemes would cost just a few billion dollars a year, which makes one wonder whether a single insurer or country could run a geoengineering project that benefits everyone and still make a profit individually.)

This makes me wonder what the current law/liability around geoengineering even is… has anyone regulated it yet?

Thanks, that makes sense… this geoengineering topic is pretty high on my list of things that I hope super AI can help us understand the consequences of... it’s so mindbendingly complex to try and forecast this stuff…

Definitely… see the pushback on ocean algae seeding and various other experiments. Not always a regulation of geoengineering per say so much as oceans and other normal regs

Also lots of international geopolitical angles with winners / losers to geoengineering
