Opinion: South hurt in climate change

It looks like doing nothing about climate change will also come with a financial cost. Climate change, according to a new report by the Brookings Institute, will wreak the most havoc on Southeastern states by the end of the 21st century, and heap the most economic distress on states that apparently don’t buy into climate change. Alabama, according to Brookings, will suffer the fifth highest economic loss, behind only Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas. The irony is, if Brookings is accurate, that climate change will actually boost agricultural yields in the Northeast and Northwest, and hurt the South in various ways. (Source: AL.com 02/01/19)
