About this episode
Dr. Renard Siew discusses the hidden economic impacts of climate change on personal finances and property values.
Many people think global warming is just about far away floods and melting ice.

In this episode, Peter talks with Dr. Renard Siew about the hard truth of what is happening to our weather and your money. He has spent decades studying nature, how cities are built, and serves as the President of the Malaysian Carbon Market Association. He shares a clear warning: if we ignore these problems, our food will disappear, houses will lose value, and businesses will lose a lot of money.Chapter Markers:00:00 - Teaser00:52 - Introduction01:09 - Why a 1°C rise speeds up deadly viruses07:18 - Climate change vs your grocery bills11:11 - The truth about Selangor water shortages13:58 - Climate mitigation vs adaptation explained18:12 - Check this massive risk before buying a house30:11 - Singapore vs Malaysia: Sponge city design46:00 - The personal tragedy that changed my life59:48 - Rare earth mining & nuclear power in Malaysia1:07:08 - Carbon markets 101: Tax, credits & offsets1:20:13 - One simple step to save our children's future#DrRenardSiew…
