Episode notes
Unintended Consequences of Environmental Regulations
- Removing sulfur dioxide from cargo ships is accelerating ocean warming.
- This is because the sulfur dioxide formed cloud formations that reflected sunlight, reducing ocean heat absorption.
Artificial Cooling Paradox
- Emissions from cargo ships created artificial cooling by blocking sunlight.
- Removing these emissions leads to increased ocean warming and more frequent extreme weather events.
The Economics of Intensifying Natural Disasters
- Increased hurricane frequency and severity require higher insurance costs, potentially exceeding affordability for homeowners.
- Government intervention may be necessary, setting a precedent for other states facing similar climate risks.
