Standard & Poor’s, has, in a series of reports, attempted to quantify the
financial impact of climate change. The company looked at the impact of
changing weather patterns on various industries, including utilities and
insurance.

Among other things, the ratings agency ranked nations based on the
percentage of their population living below an altitude of 5 meters (about
16 feet), their share of agriculture in total economic output, and their
ranking in the GAIN Vulnerability Index, a measure developed by the
University of Notre Dame that measures countries’ vulnerability and
readiness to deal with climate change.

Cambodia is the country at most risk of a credit-rating downgrade, according
to S&P, and Luxembourg the least. India, the world’s third largest economy
(by some measures) is “very vulnerable” to action, the ratings agency
said, while China, the world’s largest economy (if you accept these
calculations) is also “vulnerable.” Among developed economies, New Zealand
is the most vulnerable to action, according to the report. The United
States is the 10th least vulnerable country.

Separately, based on data from German insurance behemoth Munich Re, the
agency said that weather-event-related losses have been increasing since the
1980s, and the volatility of those losses for insurers have increased over
the past 10 years. | N*****m 发帖数: 42603 | 2 为啥?

全球变暖和人造变暖是两个命题。
没人否认变暖,问题是多大人为因素,即使是人为因素美国政府又能咋样。
