Jim and Sara Nuttle illustration from “America’s New Map”

Great Substack post by Amee Vanderpool that surveys the rising costs of climate-induced disaster and calculates that climate change is presently costing the planet about $16M/hour (and rising rapidly) — per a report out of New Zealand.

I wanted to restock her post and note her Substack service/ambition that she ends the post with:

Throughout 2024, we will be highlighting the need for massive climate change reform here at SHERO, and introducing you to viable political candidates that you can support in order to help effect change.

So, another Substack worth tracking and now one I recommend.

From the post I just want to highlight one graphic similarity to America’s New Map.

Above you see the book illustration that projects a sort of scary Mad Max-landscape across what I dub Middle Earth (30 degrees north and south of the equator).

Check out this map from Vanderpool’s post:
