3A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2017 GAO: Climate change already costing US billions in losses By MICHAEL BIESECKER Associated Press experts familiar with the strengths and limitations of the studies, which rely on future projections of climate impacts to estimate likely costs. The report says the fi scal impacts of climate change are likely to vary widely by region. The Southeast is at increased risk because of coastal prop- erty that could be swamped by storm surge and sea level rise. The Northeast is also under threat from storm surge and sea level rise, though not as much as the Southeast. The Midwest and Great Plains are susceptible to decreased crop yields, the report said. The west is expected to see increased drought, wildfi res and deadly heatwaves. Advance copies were pro- vided to the White House and the Environmental Protection Agency, which provided no offi cial comments for inclusion in the GAO report. Requests for comment from The Associated Press also received no response on Monday. President Donald Trump has called climate change a hoax, announcing his intent to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accords and revoke Obama-era ini- tiatives to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Trump has also appointed offi cials such as EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, all of whom ques- tion the scientifi c consensus that carbon released into the atmosphere from burning fos- sil fuels is the primary driver of global warming.

Smith Protesters gather outside a meeting where a climate change report was to be released in Providence, R.I. The Environmental Protection Agency kept three of its scien- tists, who had been expected to discuss the report on the health of Narragansett Bay, from speaking at the event. y WASHINGTON — A non- partisan federal watchdog says climate change is already cost- ing U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars each year, with those costs expected to rise as devas- tating storms, fl oods, wildfi res and droughts become more fre- quent in the coming decades. A Government Account- ability Offi ce report released Monday said the federal gov- ernment has spent more than $350 billion over the last decade on disaster assistance programs and losses from fl ood and crop insurance. That tally does not include the mas- sive toll from this year’s three major hurricanes and wildfi res, expected to be among the most costly in the nation’s history. The report predicts these costs will only grow in the future, potentially reaching a budget busting $35 billion a year by 2050. The report says the federal government doesn’t effectively plan for these recurring costs, classify- ing the fi nancial exposure from climate-related costs as “high risk.” “The federal government has not undertaken strategic government-wide planning to manage climate risks by using information on the potential economic effects of climate change to identify signifi cant risks and craft appropriate fed- eral responses,” the study said. “By using such information, the federal government could take the initial step in estab- lishing government-wide pri- orities to manage such risks.” GAO undertook the study following a request from Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Sen. Maria Cantwell of Washington state, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. “This nonpartisan GAO report Senator Cantwell and I requested contains astonish- ing numbers about the conse- quences of climate change for our economy and for the fed- eral budget in particular,” said Collins. “In Maine, our econ- omy is inextricably linked to the environment. We are expe- riencing a real change in the sea life, which has serious impli- cations for the livelihoods of many people across our state, including those who work in our iconic lobster industry.” The report’s authors reviewed 30 government and academic studies examin- ing the national and regional impacts of climate change. They also interviewed 28 Ta Costs will rise with fl oods, fi re and drought G REENWOOD C eMetery A fundraising “PUBLIC WELCOME” event to support military veterans welfare & community. 91569 Highway 202 Astoria 1315 Broadway in Seaside • 503-738-5111 sponsored by OCTOBER 25 CAREER FAIR at Providence Seaside Hospital Providence is calling.
