I agree to an extent, the dollars part of it is in relation to not only what it cost the US taxpayer every time a catastrophic weather event happens, but also what it does to our homeowners insurance rates.
Both effects all of us one way or another and are a result of climate change.
Of course, then there are those who lose everything due to the ever-increasing number, strength, and destruction of storms, and as past predictions continue to prove to be correct, it’s easy to see that if future predictions are correct, that it’s only going to get worse, and possibly much worse.

According to current scientific predictions, future climate change is likely to be significantly worse than what we’ve experienced so far, with most scientists expecting increasing global temperatures, more extreme weather events like heatwaves, floods, and droughts, rising sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems, especially if greenhouse gas emissions continue at current rates.
Key points about future climate change predictions:
Scientists predict a substantial rise in global average temperatures, potentially surpassing 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, leading to more severe impacts.
Increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events like hurricanes, wildfires, and heavy precipitation are expected.
Continued melting of glaciers and ice sheets will contribute to significant sea level rise, impacting coastal communities.
Climate change is likely to disrupt ecosystems significantly, causing species migration and potential extinction events.
Some regions will experience more severe impacts than others depending on geography and climate patterns.
