Climate Change and the Economy.  (Risky Business)
Texas is likely to be among the states hit hardest by the impacts of climate change, with extreme heat taking its toll on workers, crops, and vulnerable communities. Under a "business as usual" scenario—in which business and political leaders maintain the status quo of carbon emissions—climate change is also likely to drive up electricity costs and destroy billions of dollars' worth of coastal property.
