Look how many Floridians get that climate change is driving their home insurance crisis. Big majorities; nearly half of Trump voters!

Big Oil used to pretend climate change wasn’t real – then they pretended they were part of the solution. 🧵 aaronregunberg.substack.com/…

“We have likely seen just a sliver of the evidence they have that shows they’ve spent decades knowingly deceiving the public about climate science, climate harms, and their commitment to climate action.” More truth to be uncovered. Stay tuned.

What government by billionaire gets you.
Political cartoon. A building with a sign “Satan for Senate HQ.” Inside, the devil is speaking to a man in a suit. The man says, “Hopefully, your polls improve now that Elon Musk donated another $100 million to your campaign…”

Look how well “impose a fee on big polluters” does. 74-10! Nearly same for “penalties on high-pollution imports.”
Graph titled, "Don't chicken out on Climate." Graph depicts national support for climate and energy policies. Graph also depicts lift driven by climate framing compared to lift driven by clean energy framing.

Top Ten Fun Facts about what climate change is doing to Florida’s home insurance market: Fact #1 is that it’s already the most expensive in the country, and predicted to double or triple in years ahead. 🧵

Fact #9. It’s a cascade, like dominoes. Climate risk wipes out insurance markets, which wipes out mortgages, which wipes out property values (unless you’ve got a zillionaire paying cash), which wipes out the economy — a “systemic risk.” Look it up. It’s not pretty.

Last fact, #10. If we don’t address climate change, this only gets worse. Regions becoming uninsurable and unmortgageable is predicted. A “coastal property values crash” is predicted. Elsewhere, wildfire risk creates the same economic danger. Time for us all to wake up.
