    For insurance the solution is simple, if you live in an area with few natural disasters then switch to a regional provider with lower costs so you aren't paying for people across the country.
    Let the people who cost the most run up their insurance premiums & eventually make those companies bankrupt or just not financially visible to serve those areas.

    Your entire argument is correct IF anthropogenic climate change is correct. Bluntly, the release of carbon dioxide by human activity has caused little, possibly no, significant changes in weather. Think about it, the 1 degree C increase over the past 170 years is a fraction of the difference between the low and high temperature in any location on any given day. Deaths due to climate/weather related disasters (floods, droughts, storms, wildfires, etc) are 1/50th what they were when the UN started taking world-wide statistics about 50 years ago. The Earth has had many periods of much warmer (and cooler) weather - just in historic times, much less prehistoric times and paleontological evidence indicates carbon dioxide levels of many times today's were the norm several times in the earths past - times when plant and animal life were much more abundant than today.

    The most costly part of climate change are policies aimed to mitigate it. Period.
    China emits more CO2 than US and Europe combined, yet they are still poor on per capita basis and rely heavily on industry. What about much less industrialized regions like India or Africa? They all are just starting to transform into industrialized countries. If Africa ever gonna catch up with at least China in terms of living standards, they will need to develop huge industrial capacity which will generate vast amounts of CO2. With its 2.5 billion population (by 2050 forecasts) that translates to yearly emissions of 15 to 20 billion tonnes of CO2 - over 2x of those of Europe and US right now.
    This whole carbon madness in EU and US with its taxes, certificates, regulations and restrictions will change nothing about trend that is set by the developing countries and their rise from poverty - you can't develop emerging economy with advertising agencies and TikTok influencers.

    If you look at the data on how natural disasters have impacted us around the world for the last 100 years you will see that deaths have actually plummeted contrary to “climate change” propagandists. Also, total $ amounts related to property damage from storms have gone up, but only relative to the economic growth of the area that was hit. You would expect that if a certain area has twice as many buildings and gets hit by a storm, you’d have twice the property damage. Not because the storm was any worse, but because there are simply more buildings that could be damaged. In fact, property damage estimates are not even rising as quickly as economic growth which we can assume is because buildings built more recently are much more capable of surviving storms than older buildings. The building codes these days are very strict about ensuring that buildings can withstand natural disasters of all sorts versus buildings made 30, 50, or 100 years ago.

    • @TheVonMatrices
      @TheVonMatrices Рік тому +1

      The problem is that these building codes generally do not have requirements to increase flood resistance. The structural members may remain standing due to more stringent codes protecting against wind and earthquake damage, but if the interior still gets flooded, then almost everything still needs to be replaced.

    Natural disasters aren't increasing in frequency or intensity and the rate at which people die from them is PLUMETTING.
    They are being recorded and measured more accurately, which makes us think that they're more frequent and/or dangerous, see availability bias.
    Climate change may cost a lot of money in today's term, but if one assumes continued economic growth at similar rates, it's a drop in the bucket compared to the nominal cost. It's been described as making us a few percentage points "poorer" than we would otherwise be. Which means we would be infinitely wealthier than we are today still.
    Doomsday peddling does nothing but panic people into thinking it's the end of the world, when in reality most of us will probably be ok and those that won't be, could still have access to man-made solution to their problems, provided they aren't part of the world's poorest.

As the population and wealth of the United States has increased in coastal locations, it has invariably led to the growth in exposure and vulnerability of coastal property along the U.S. Gulf and East Coasts. Unfortunately, the risks associated with more people and vulnerable exposure came to fruition in Texas and Florida during the 2017 season following the landfalls of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Total economic damage from those two storms exceeded $125 billion. Growth in coastal population and exposure is likely to continue in the future, and when hurricane landfalls do occur, this will likely lead to greater damage costs than previously seen. Such a statement is made recognizing that the vast scope of damage from hurricanes often highlights the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of building codes, flood maps, infrastructure, and insurance in at-risk communities."

      Gas triple the price? Probably because we relied too much on that "green energy", had we used only gas instead we would be paying...more..?
      So more green energy then less reliance on these unreliable fossil fuels?

      That’s the problem with current policy. Your electric bill is going up. Gas is much better than coal but it’s still a hydrocarbon. Cheap energy is an integral part of world wealth and prosperity.
      Current policy has energy prices going up while effectively doing nothing to reduce human impact on the climate.
      If you’re really poor it’s not about not been able to have your AC on it’s about not been able to eat….

    So, did the studies say how many natural disasters that would have been this year, if there was no "climate change?" Or are we attributing literally every natural disaster to climate change?
    Even though I'm pretty sure there were still hurricanes and hot days and cold days before the industrial revolution. And earthquakes for that matter.

    If we all got rid of our cell phones we would probably lower the temp.
