This just in, 13% of surveyed Californians don't understand how home insurance works.
And none of those people actually know anything about the topic except that they're worried. Useless poll.
It's ok, Trump and his fascist bootlickers have declared that climate change didn't exist. Surely that means that insurance companies won't raise prices.
Surely that means that insurance companies won’t raise prices.
That's crazy logic even for a Trumpologist. Companies always raise prices. Oil goes up? Raise the prices! Oil goes down? Raise the prices. Oil price stagnation? Raise the prices!
Sure, but if climate change isn't real then there is no reason to raise prices because of climate change. Trump declared it.
then there is no reason to raise prices because of climate change
Trump: Yes, but there are many other reasons: communism, China, antisemitism, inflation and gays.
Darned gays.
Are they causing climate change?
Trump: I told you already that there is no climate change, you covfefed koshbotjh dumb dhjdsfhjhf!!!
Is California the only sane place left in the US? I feel that every time I read something slightly positive its always California.
NYC might have a moderate socialist dem candidate for mayoral election this year. He crushed it in the primary. Even my straight male ass has a boner for him at this stage. And I don't even get to vote, I'm not American, nor do I live there lol
No. We have a system which gives more power to less populated areas. Plenty of fairly reasonable people still; just don't have power except in a few areas
Washington and New York occasionally do good.
Not concerned about climate change, but the raising costs. I guess they are still american after all.
Aww that's cute, they think the insurance companies will offer insurance at all.
What about the other 13%. Are they not concerned or do they not think it will rise?
They are homeless.
Not too concerned (7%) and Not at all concerned (5%) and I guess 1% to rounding error.
Can’t forget the 4% lizard man constant.
The huge price tags the climate disasters keep racking up are going to make large swathes of the country uninsurable. CA is just leading the pack because things are more expensive overall there.
*87% of Californians point to climate change as a reasonable justification for their own extortion.
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
