Had a chat with @leeharris.bsky.social about what’s driving high UK insurance payouts 👇
Costs for construction labor and building materials remain stubbornly high, sending UK property insurance payouts to their highest level last year since 2007. Plus, climate change is bringing intense rainfall which “overwhelms Victorian-era sewer systems” on.ft.com/3WfL1oH

Might as well do an #AGU24 round-up now, since the clouds didn't yet clear for me while I was in DC. What a week! 🧵

Here's some books I've read this year on climate / risk / models / uncertainty / decision-making. I very much recommend each of them.

Finally moved out of that toxic place; this feels more like home. Where are my old pals at? Let's talk flood risk, cat models, climate change, chaos, uncertainty, monetizing false precision & the (ab)use of models!
