Now, it's REALLY going to start to hurt wallets...the ONLY thing most will understand and accept.
Home insurers cut natural disasters from policies as climate risks grow

Insurance infustry is bound to fail on its current course.if not from environmental events then from high costs. Between medical, car and home insurance I am paying over 1k a month. And still paying the balance of events.
@damselfly59 @celticsfanaticentomologist That's crazy, so sorry to read that. They keep saying my home is worth more and the taxes and insurance of course goes up. Now the county says it's worth more than the internet does so we'll see what their play is in 2024.
@MidnightRider @celticsfanaticentomologist
Wstched assessors move from rating home values based on what you paid to "market value".
Not only has it helped shift rates from businesses to home owners it is causing retired folk to move from their family home. When I start tallying the cost of supporting investors or taxes or the cost of being old I know I will not have anything to leave my children/grandchildren.
Hope the climate rebellion takes on a holistic approach.
@damselfly59 @celticsfanaticentomologist I won't have anything to leave unless my exit is a surprise. As it is spending money is painful, which is really dumb as that's why I thought I tried so hard to pile a little up. It's a wacky life.

One way or another, Gaia will get our attention 💰💰 💰
@LnzyHou Yep. Like I said...the only thing that makes many take notice.
@celticsfanaticentomologist Yep. Insurers bailed on California after the 1994 Earthquake. If you build in a fire zone insurers won't cover you. Banks won't give you a home loan without insurance coverage. When you decide to purchase a home need to find out if you'll be able to get insurance coverage.
