Last year, Hurricane Ian resulted in a more than 10% hit to the economy when totaling up all of the property destruction, infrastructure spending and power outages, he said.With the climate crisis resulting in increasingly more dangerous storms, the residents of the Sunshine State are left with higher costs in the form of indirect and direct insurance payments.Here are five ways that climate change is costing Floridians ...
