As previously established, you have not demonstrated an understanding of MMT. You only have emotional rhetoric to use against it. Thank you for your false framing. Enjoy your day!

Are you watching insurance and living costs soar because of climate risk and wondering why policy can't fix it? It's not a failure of science; it's a failure of economic structure.
My post gives you the roadmap to resilience. 🧵👇 #ClimateAction #CostOfLiving

Perfect knowledge is useless without a policy framework that can translate it into action. Stop being trapped by economic myths that tell you we can't afford resilience.

The biggest cost of climate vulnerability is that it systematically hits communities with the least power, forcing impossible trade-offs between affordability and safety.

We need institutional tools that match the problem:
✅ **Fiscal policy** to support adaptation at scale.
✅ **Insurance frameworks** that spread risk equitably.
✅ **Housing policy** that curbs speculation in vulnerable areas.

This post answers the vital question: **What tools do we use when monetary policy is powerless?**
The solution lies in targeted fiscal policy that builds resilience and absorbs climate costs structurally.

When floods hit, food prices rise, and insurance costs surge. The media screams for the RBA to act, but interest rates can't un-flood a field or lower an insurance premium. That policy tool is broken for climate shocks.

Monetary sovereignty is limited by real constraints. This post defines those limits and points to the only solution: **Fiscal policy that matches the sophistication of our science.**

We have the scientific models, the engineers, and the data systems. What we lack are the institutional frameworks—in housing, insurance, and fiscal policy—to absorb the shock.

This is the **Structural Failure** nobody talks about: Monetary policy can only *redistribute* the burden of climate costs; it cannot *eliminate* them.

Why? Climate inflation operates through supply-side mechanisms that interest rates can't fix: rising insurance premiums, crop destruction, and rebuilding costs.
The RBA's impossible choice: Crush households with rate hikes, or embed climate-driven inflation.

We know the risks. A researcher I know built the systems to predict bushfire risk decades ago. Yet today, communities they assessed are becoming uninsurable. **The knowledge is perfect; the policy is inadequate.**

The "bond vigilante" is a myth. Austerity is a political choice. We are told we can't afford a better world.
That is a lie. We can afford anything that is for sale in our own currency. The only question is whether we have the political will to do it.
