US to spend $2 trillion each year for a century on climate change

US to spend $2 trillion each year for a century on climate change

The White House has revealed that it will cost the US about $2 trillion each year by the end of the century to manage climate change.

A report analysis by the Office of Management and Budget, indicates that the  climate change could hit US federal revenues with a 7.1% annual loss by the end of the century.

The report explained that the US could spend an additional $25 billion to $128 billion each year on expenditures like coastal disaster relief, flood insurance, crop insurance, healthcare insurance, wildland fire suppression and flooding at federal facilities.

“The fiscal risk of climate change is immense,” Candace Vahlsing, the OMB’s associate director for climate, and Danny Yagan, its chief economist, wrote in a blog published on Monday.

“Climate change threatens communities and sectors across the country, including through floods, drought, extreme heat, wildfires, and hurricanes that affect the U.S. economy and the lives of everyday Americans,” they wrote. 

“Future damages could dwarf current damages if greenhouse gas emissions continue unabated.”

The news comes the same day as the U.N. climate science panel’s highly anticipated report, which warned that slashing global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels will require greenhouse gas emissions to peak before 2025.

The world has already warmed about 1.1 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels and is on track to experience global temperature rise of 2.4 degrees Celsius by 2100.

The OMB’s analysis warned that intensifying wildfires could hike federal fire suppression costs by between $1.55 billion and $9.60 billion each year, representing an increase between 78% and 480% by the end of the century. 

Meanwhile, more frequent hurricanes could hike spending on coastal disaster response between $22 billion and $94 billion each year by the century’s end.

Additionally, 12,000 federal buildings across the country could be flooded by ten feet of sea level rise, with total replacement costs of more than $43.7 billion, the analysis said. However, that would be an extreme sea level rise figure for 2100. 

A 2021 report from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted a range of sea level rise in the U.S. between 0.6 meters (nearly two feet) and 2.2 meters (just over seven feet) by the end of the century.

President Joe Biden last week released his 2023 budget proposal, which called for nearly $45 billion in new funding for climate change, clean energy and environmental justice programs. The budget, which includes an increase of nearly 60% in climate funding over the fiscal year 2021, comes as the president’s core legislation to address climate change is stalled in Congress.

The climate portion of the $1.75 trillion House-passed bill, called the Build Back Better Act, would be the largest-ever federal clean energy investment and could help the U.S. get about halfway to the president’s pledge to curb emissions in half by 2030, according to the nonpartisan analysis firm Rhodium Group.

Earlier this year, Biden said he would likely need break up the plan, but maintained that he believes Congress would still pass parts of it, including $555 billion in climate spending.
