Kristy Jiayi Xu got an unwelcome surprise this New Year’s Eve: The roof of her garage was leaking during a severe rainstorm in San Francisco. Delays in getting a contractor to fix the roof have brought unexpected costs to keep things dry, including a dehumidifier.
“My husband and I are both from the East Coast, so we always think the rain here lasts for a day,” said Xu, certified financial planner and chief executive of the firm Global Wealth Harbor.
In September 2022, she and her husband faced a heat wave — another weather incident they weren’t expecting.
“We have air conditioning, but the bill was so high,” she said.
For more than a decade, scientific reports have shown how climate change will likely make extreme weather events more frequent. And this might affect your wallet.
Let’s break it down.
Higher insurance costs, additional policies:
More storms typically mean more risk of damage to your home or car. And getting enough home and other insurance — at a reasonable cost — can be its own challenge.
Higher food, energy costs:
Extreme temperatures have become more frequent, which can affect crop production and household energy usage. In turn, your grocery and energy bills may increase.
Indirect hits on investments:
“Climate change is going to impact the long-term valuations of both stocks and bonds,” said Zach Stein , co-founder of Carbon Collective, an investment advisory firm focused on creating portfolios that fight climate change.
What you can do now:
— Compare home insurance options.
— Expand your emergency fund.
— Consider banking and investing to support environmental causes.
— “Storm-proof” your property.

Funny. Because all of that is happening with Democrats in charge today. Wasn’t happening when Trump was President.
Well yeah communism does that.
I just love getting “science news” from journalism majors.
The only climate that affects finances is the business climate. Not good under this administration so climate change IS in order.
Today’s weather is 100% excessive government spending and cloudy.
Socks don’t match
Goldfish die
Seems the Libs are doing everything to increase the cost of energy. No gas stoves, use electricity which is less efficient. No more power plants, use solar and wind. Use Heat Pump to warm house, unless it gets below 20 F, then freeze baby, freeze! The Libs must understand that they need to create less electricity and increase demand which will drive up costs!
How worrying about nothing can affect your brain.
What a load of propaganda.
Every government in the history of man has “united its people” to conquer some external enemy.
Every single one.
It distracts the people from killing their leaders.
When you can’t control the guns, try to control the ammunition.
If you standardize on sock color, there can be ni mismatch
Sounds like typical lib dumbassery to me. Unprepared, lack of reality in their pea brains, ZERO research of where they were moving to.
“We have air conditioning, but the bill was so high,” she said.
LOL, San Francisco weather in July Aug and Sept avg high 71.
Calling BS on this, lived in SF for 20 years never owned one.
Extreme temperatures might extend the growing season, so shouldn’t it be lower food cost? I think these morons are trying to lie to the sheeple.
“No gas stoves, use electricity which is less efficient”
Electricity is more efficient then gas. Natural gas stoves are about 40% efficient while electric stoves are about 75% efficient
Kristy Jiayi Xu and her husband are moron commies. Move back to China.
The Left wants to steal all the money

They just want you to invest in their schemes rather than someone else's. The "cover story" is that they can decarbonize.
What is it to decarbonize? Most of the modern world is essentially "carbonized," so the word is nothing more than an attempt to confuse by asserting a new word which most people will not understand.
And -- ta-dah! -- they advise investing in their chosen funds. Marketing.

Oddly, as an "online" investment company, the web site shows no address. So one finds their address through other means and learns that the company shows five employees and the following address:
524 Madison St / Albany, CA 94607

C’mon man. This is truth. It’s no hyperbole, man. Journalists spend tens of thousands of dollars and go into massive debt to go to J-school to learn how to write at the sixth grade level and occasionally asks the questions who, what, when, where, why.
A leaky roof?
Yeah, there’s never been heavy rain before in Northern California during the winter months. s/
