Janet Yellen Blames Climate Change For Assets Value Losses
(Chaz Anon) Deep State Gnome AKA US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is warning of coming losses in asset values, not because of of the boom bust cycles of the banking cartels, but because of climate change. Sounds like a bunch of bollocks to me.
So losses in value have nothing to do with the policies of the Biden administration and the FED. No one really believes this, but in the post truth world we a forced to accept it.
The Hill reports:
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is set to warn on Tuesday that climate change is already having an economic impact in the U.S., cautioning that it could cause asset value losses in the future, according to Reuters.
Yellen is expected to issue the warning to an advisory board that includes academics and leaders from both the nonprofit and private sector, according to Reuters. The secretary will also argue that a slow transition to a net-zero carbon economy could have deep impacts on the country’s financial system.
“As climate change intensifies, natural disasters and warming temperatures can lead to declines in asset values that could cascade through the financial system,” she said in remarks prepared for delivery at the advisory board’s first meeting. “And a delayed and disorderly transition to a net-zero economy can lead to shocks to the financial system as well.”
The climate change alert from Yellen comes as weather disasters in the last year have caused billions of dollars in damage across the U.S. A report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration concluded that 2022 tied 2017 and 2011 for the highest number of billion-dollar disasters
Note how The Hill doesn’t question Yellen’s ridiculous premise at all. If anything, they jump in to defend her position. The media only speaks truth to power when Republicans are in charge.
The expert who brought you "We'll never see another financial crisis in our lifetime" and "Inflation is transitory" has decided to expand beyond her field of expertise, surely she'll be right about this one. https://t.co/qSOxq9b4F3

This is the same woman who couldn't predict that inflation wasn't transitory... Her field of expertise, no less.
