UK government scientists suggest that the traditional meal of fish and chips may need to be replaced with squid as cod and haddock move north to cooler waters. An economic study led by Solomon Chung at Berkeley predicts that climate change will exacerbate income inequality in the U.S., as the hot South loses 20% of its income while the cooler North potentially benefits.

A new study from Berkeley scientist Solomon Chung claims that climate change will increase economic inequality in the U.S., with the South losing up to 20% of its income. The research suggests that for every degree of warming, the U.S. GDP will drop by 0.7%, primarily due to agricultural losses and increased healthcare costs for heat-related illnesses.
