The extreme weather events They cost us money, as those affected by DANA, drought or Filomena can attest. Climate change costs, in Spain, 1,000 euros for each citizen in the next 40 years.
If we take this estimate to ‘macro’ data, we should have paid 7% of GDP between 1980 and 2020, very high figures that insurers also notice. The data says that they have multiplied by ten what is spent on extreme phenomena since 1980, a situation that threatens to get worse.
Joanna Ivars, laSexta meteorologist, explains that “it rains more and it rains worse“: “The water does not filter, it is lost in runoff and is very destructive to populations and crops. “It’s going to continue happening and it’s going to continue to intensify.”
Among all the bad data, there is one hopeful one: for every euro invested in combating climate change, we save 10 euros in alleviating its effects.
