Earlier this week I posted an article discussing the economic damages of climate change on different areas of the US and how it is expected to hit the Southeast particularly hard.  Here is another article with a better breakdown of the costs by different sectors.  Crime, both violent and property, is expected to increase more slowly here in the Southeast, but mortality from increased heat, higher energy costs (particularly compared to the northern states who will have shorter winters) and costs from coastal damage contributed to the highest costs being on the Southeast.  You can read more about this at https://projectearth.us/climate-change-will-make-america-way-more-economically-1796492704.
