The difficulty of "pricing in" the risk (and cost) of climate change

Republican-controlled communities and states skeptical of climate change may be less likely to receive federal spending due to the conditions attached to it, which may punish them under this system. However, communities that strongly believe in the science of climate change tend to be better at adaptation and take less risk. On the other hand, both Republicans and Democrats resist the government telling them how to live, which poses a challenge for any climate adaptation strategy. Political implications are more nuanced and complicated than they may seem. For example, in Oregon, a fairly liberal state, people strongly believe in climate change, yet they objected to a map showing fire risk as it would increase insurance costs and decrease property values. This illustrates the difficulty in getting people to adapt to the risks of a changing climate, as they want to maintain their homes and resist being told that their current world is becoming more expensive or less valuable.
