Comment on How Climate Resilient Are the Largest Cities?

Comments

This is far outside of my wheelhouse, but I have some serious questions about the methodology here.

I dug into what they call a "resiliency checklist", which is what looks to be a set of questions that have qualitative answers which are subjective at best. This information looks like it is fed into the CRRI, the data set that substantiates the city-wide scores used to power this report.

I am very skeptical that these 2 things happened:

  - They captured a representative set of key assets that go into making a "city"
  - The answers they received are calibrated or are meaningful enough to make these large conclusions
