        Not really, climate is a natural part of earth. Every place has a risk level for various events, be is drought, wild fires, flooding, volcanoes, hurricane and tornadoes, etc.

        Even without humans present, given enough time, every place will suffer catastrophic conditions for the life living there eventually.

        Maybe I’m missing something from your perspective?

          the forecasted severity of those risks in the future

          I understand that as changes in risk severity due to the climate catastrophe. Climate used to be kinda stable (at least over a human life time).

      I’d say that capitalism merely treating climate change as simply something else to manage for fun and profit is very dystopian.

    Redfin has been doing this for a while. It’s like “Oh wow! That amazing property is wildly within my price range! …oh… 100% chance of flooding in the next 30 years… but only 9% chance of wildfire! I like those odds!”

    RIP Florida. Also if it were to show average insurance premium double RIP Florida. That would honestly be as good if not better than the climate indicators.
