Climate Change Report Projects Bleak Outlook For Texas Economy

[douglas9]

Another report on climate change, another batch of bad news for Texas.

The report, "Risky Business: The Bottom Line on Climate Change," examines climate change's economic impact in each state.

A consortium of left-leaning public policy heavies, including former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros, backed the report. Bloomberg Philanthropies funded much of the study.

The report relied on data from new climate models prepared by the Rhodium Group, an economic research firm, in partnership with Risk Management Solutions, one of the world's largest catastrophe-modeling companies.

The picture is particularly bleak for Texas, where the average number of days with a high of over 95 degrees Fahrenheit could jump to over 100 by 2040.

1. Good information, DUer douglas9. Looks like farmers would want to move their operation

north for the sake of the family farm, to hand down to the coming generations.

All vegetation will be moving north, which will effect crop yields due to latitude characteristics of C3 and C4 photosynthesis (that I did not link too).
