Legit climate scientist striving to understand & communicate sustainable solutions in a complex world. Having examined the data, I try to remain optimistic.
Climate change clearly reflected in rising non-renewal rates of home insurance in areas of high flood & wildfire risk. Yet this tension remains “Homeowners complain about the difficulty of getting insurance; But the desire to live by the ocean, despite the danger, remains the stronger force.”
Disaster is a function of three things: exposure, vulnerability, and hazard.
As climate change pushes up the hazard rates for wildfire, flood, hurricane & more, lack of adaptation and maladaptation on the part of both public and private entities is increasing vulnerability.

Insurers Are Dropping Homeowners as Climate Shocks Worsen
Without insurance, it’s impossible to get a mortgage; without a mortgage, most Americans can’t buy a home.

There was this bold lie in the op-ed: “We understand and share the desire to build a health care system that works better for everyone. That is the purpose of our organization.” I wonder if that was shareholder approved? What utter BS
The NYT really gave op-ed space to the CEO of UnitedHealth Group to say that the murdered CEO of UnitedHealthcare was a good guy and people mad about insurance are bad (?), headlined it with the idea that he is offering some sort of path forward from a broken system (he isn't), and called it a day.
