It's sad and kind of ironic that the thing that may end up pushing climate action the most will be insurance. Eventually the premiums will be so high in vulnerable areas (including coastal regions) that living there will become a lottery.
We've already seen those poor people who tried to hold back the sea with a $350,000 sand barricade which lasted one hour. Their homes are now effectively worthless.
- sunflowerfly 3y agoI would argue those homes should never have been built.
- jaggs 3y agoAgree. For example, those people still moving to the Florida coast really should spend a bit more time thinking it through. But there are a lot of other circumstances where climate impacts could not have been clearly foreseen.
