00:00:00
the reason why the so-called hidden
00:00:02
costs of climate change are so important
00:00:05
are in part because they're often subtle
00:00:07
and hard to notice but the data
00:00:08
increasingly suggests they're quite
00:00:10
pervasive so whether that's things like
00:00:12
how temperature affects worker
00:00:15
productivity or safety and health on the
00:00:16
job or even something like cognitive
00:00:19
performance at work or in school there's
00:00:21
increasingly evidence to suggests that
00:00:23
even a so-called non-catastrophic
00:00:25
warming scenario even a little bit of
00:00:27
warming can adversely affect the
00:00:30
economic Machinery of our day-to-day
00:00:32
lives uh in important ways and so I
00:00:36
think it's important that we both as
00:00:38
decision makers and as a public at large
00:00:40
become more familiar with these hidden
00:00:42
costs if we're going to make better
00:00:45
practical decisions about what to do
00:00:47
about climate change both in terms of
00:00:49
you know mitigating emissions toward a
00:00:51
clean energy future but also in terms of
00:00:53
adapting social and economic systems to
00:00:55
the warming
