When President Donald Trump announced that he was going to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, his supporters cheered. However, a new study suggests that these are the same people who will suffer the most, both economically and personally. Thanks to the Earth’s increasingly hot climates, the Southern and Midwestern states are going to lose a lot of jobs and money.
The study comes from the Climate Impact Lab, which is a consortium made up of 25 experts in economy and politics, Futurism reports. According to the data that they gathered, the American South will be hit the hardest over the next few years with climate change becoming dangerously close to a global catastrophe.
As to how the rising temperatures will affect these regions, the consensus is that the wealth of resources and people will be transferred to the coastal cities and the colder regions of the north instead of staying in the Midwest or the South. As talent and manpower start moving to more prosperous and less sweltering locations, flyover states will suffer more economical inequality.
The states that are in most danger include Arizona, Texas, and Florida, all of which voted for President Trump. Counties near Mexico are going to experience considerable rises in energy costs as well, which is equivalent to being taxed at a 20 percent level. This will be due to the surge in energy usage as well as the massive losses in crops and livestock.
In the Abstract of the study, the researchers note that the whole point of the presentation is to paint a clear picture as to where the country was headed. Making the implications even more alarming is the fact that there is hardly any hope of changes to come during the four-year tenure of the current US president.
“The combined value of market and nonmarket damage across analyzed sectors—agriculture, crime, coastal storms, energy, human mortality, and labor—increases quadratically in global mean temperature, costing roughly 1.2% of gross domestic product per +1°C on average,” the Abstract reads.
