putting a price tag on climate change

The University of Alaska Anchorage's economic research arm just released an updated estimate of how much more the state will have to pay to build and maintain public infrastructure because of climate change. You can find the report in my reading library and see the AP's story on it by clicking here.
The dollar figure they give is about 3.5 billion to 6 billion between now and 2030, on top of the 32 billion it would cost otherwise.
