Wow. @keenanclimate.com delivers in his book NORTH: The Future of Post-Climate America. He examines the future of climate migration and the changes that are about to come to our cities as the oceans rise. It is informative and compelling. Bravo, friend.

Here is a map from @keenanclimate.com's new book, North, which I highly recommend, showing the distribution of flood risk exposure and social vulnerability across the United States. I have highlighted Florida (1/2).

Dear Economy,
I've said this before, but unregulated leveraged, secured lending in private credit is a deeper web (eg, club deals) than regulators of regulated participants realize. It's not about liquidity. It's about the credit/K terms/structure. You were warned.
Best,
Jesse

New America Adapts pod! 🎧

@keenanclimate.com joins me (again) to talk about his new book, North: The Future of Post-Climate America. It’s not about disasters β€” it’s about how the U.S. is already changing as we adapt. We also touch on Florida through a fictional chapter set in 2079!

Impact of climate-fueled disasters seen in insurance, real estate data The changing climate is increasing insurance rates for residents and cities and lowering property values in areas that face more frequent and intense disasters.

See my commentary highlighting a boiling muni bond crisis fueled by the convergence of climate and fiscal austerity. I cover this and the 'climate doom loop' in my new book, "North: The Future of Post-Climate America" (Oxford University Press) www.bondbuyer.com/news/climate...

Hurricanes and wildfires influence homebuyers, if only for a minute Interest in climate risk surges after disasters, according to the real estate platform Redfin, but soon diminishes.

See my commentary @washingtonpost.com in re changing patterns for climate risk "information" among consumers. The seasonal dimension does seem important, if it holds up statistically. It is nice to see Redfin engaged. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Oh snap...MDPI...someone finally said it...I've been calling for a review commission (in re FL hurricane) model for years. States have the power to lead on this. I have a strong feeling Nancy Watkins at Milliman could build this model overnight.

Your work there had a solid impact. GAO really took to it on w/ "Climate Resilience: Congressional Action Needed to Enhance Climate Economics Information and to Limit Federal Fiscal Exposure" Non-climate people still talk about this b/c of GAO (I try to be an optimist) www.gao.gov/products/gao...

Zillow deletes climate risk data from listings after complaints it harms sales Site deletes feature after real estate agents and some homeowners say scores appear arbitrary and hurt sales

See my commentary (not on Zillow specifically) on the private climate services sector, gov't regulation, scientific transparency, risk transmission among consumers, & the limits of the current state of science to support property-by-property risk assessment.
