A non-partisan federal watchdog says climate change is already costing U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars each yearIts not non partisan. Its very partisan. Just part of the swamp.

A Government Accountability Office report released Monday said the federal government has spent more than $350 billion over the last decade on disaster assistance programs I guess there were no disasters 100 years ago. Either that or they were so small that FEMA really didn't need to spend any money on them in the 1800s . . . .

Compliance cost to no effect on global warming is costing trillions.

Don’t they believe that an illegal alien who was not held on an ICE hold, was responsible for the Santa Rosa fire? So, wouldn’t unfettered illegal immigration & the Sanctuary State be costing us billions?

Climate change already costing U.S. billions, GAO report says ... because of all the regulations, laws, mandated use of ethanol, and so forth.

The main reason that natural disasters are more costly is that we have far more people (325 million) who are impacted. In 2000 we had a population of 281 million; today, it is 325 million; and the nations total population will cross the 400 million mark in 2051, reaching 420.3 million in 2060.
80% of our population growth is fueled by immigration. Since 1990 35 million legal permanent immigrants have entered the country. 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants enter annually.

And that’s just on the worthless grants the government gives out to try and establish global warming when it doesn’t exist.
