That's fine, but what happens when this expands with the the increasing effects of climate change? What happens when Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas health insurance costs triple because of the risks of extreme heat? What about New Orleans or locations prone to extreme storms or hurricanes?

We say goodbye to our quality of life.
Pensions are a result of our capacity to produce wealth, but as the cost of life will rise those pensions will be slowly erased. You'd better spare money as young as possible. The climate is guaranteed to get warmer for at least 20 years, whatever we do now.
