In first for Fed, U.S. central bank says climate poses stability risks

The U.S. Federal Reserve for the first time called out climate change among risks enumerated in its biannual financial stability report, and warned about the potential for abrupt changes in asset values in response to a warming planet.

Excerpt from this story from Reuters:

The U.S. Federal Reserve for the first time called out climate change among risks enumerated in its biannual financial stability report, and warned about the potential for abrupt changes in asset values in response to a warming planet.

“Acute hazards, such as storms, floods, or wildfires, may cause investors to update their perceptions of the value of real or financial assets suddenly,” Fed Governor Lael Brainard said in comments attached to the report, released Monday.

“Chronic hazards, such as slow increases in mean temperatures or sea levels, or a gradual change in investor sentiment about those risks, introduce the possibility of abrupt tipping points or significant swings in sentiment,” Brainard said.

Such abrupt price changes from climate-related disasters could also create difficult-to-predict knock-on effects through financial markets, the report said, particularly because not enough is understood, or disclosed, about the true extent of exposures to climate risks.

Would you leave you car running

In your mother's garage for hours before she goes in there to start her day?

Would you throw the trash from a backyard party into her pool?

Would you force her to constantly donate blood or plasma every day

knowing it caused her fever, headache and essential tremors

Would you then take the money to by Cherry bombs to blow up the toilets in her house and all over the neighborhood?

Would you change your oil in the driveway and throw the refuse on the lawn?

Would you steal all the produce from her garden

and sell it back to her at a 33% mark-up?

When she cooked dinner for the family would you coat it with hairspray every night without telling anyone?

Would you shoot her pet cat and hang it on the wall in the living room?

Would you take prescription drugs and then pee in her water supply just to see how she reacted?

If you answered yes to any of these questions

You need to be grounded
