The Climate Disaster Bill
The Climate Disaster Bill explains how the costs of extreme weather, floods, heat, drought, wildfire, hurricanes, and coastal risk increasingly reach taxpayers, families, and local governments. It separates daily weather from long-term climate patterns and explains how scientists evaluate attribution and risk.
The book examines disaster response, insurance losses, public rebuilding, damaged infrastructure, health costs, and the unequal burdens placed on vulnerable communities. It also considers how oil dependence and energy security connect fossil-fuel policy with military spending and international conflict.
This second volume calls for honest accounting of the climate and security costs that annual budgets often miss. It argues that private profit should not depend on transferring disaster risk, cleanup expenses, and long-term public obligations to taxpayers and future generations.
