As Florida residents recover from another hurricane, many are finding it increasingly difficult to insure their property against future disasters. Florida is not alone. Right-wing politicians may see some political advantage in pretending climate change is a hoax, but insurance companies that are paying more for clean-up and repairs after climate disasters know that their bottom line isn’t fake news. Monica Medina, a former NOAA official, talks with Ali Velshi about the increasing difficulty of securing insurance as damage from climate change becomes more likely across the U.S.

The world was warned and warned and warned for decades this was com8ng and it’s going to GET WAY WAY WORSE THAN THIS STUFF.shes missing the point it’s WORLDWIDE,it’s happening everywhere all over the world.
Thank you President Biden for taking quick federal action in Florida the Carolinas, and in So Cal and Maui. We appreciate the quick fed support in these natural disasters❤❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Help me Joe Biden!!! 😂
Ive been saying it for years. Insurance companies are the ones who we need to watch. They have it built into their price models.
George Washington made one fundamental mistake !! Only for Orwell to reinforce what Washington heard and saw !!!! Unless you remove my upper n middle class globalist Englishmen from D.C. You are toast.
How many good old Republican, global warming deniers, live or used to live in Florida? Ha, ha, ha🤥🤥🤥
Im wondering when Trumpers,Republicans will finally acknowledge Man Made Climate Change is REAL,lol??!! But oh well, bet theyre Loving that Cold Blooded Unfettered American Capitalism though. Except now its Biting them in their Arses.😅
The current rate of waming is faster than seen at any time in the past tens of millions of years – see scientific american article.
Just remember Democrats, you loot, we shoot.
Anyone else notice the media NEVER talks about how bad life is in Conservative States?
The verdict is in and it’s YESSS!!! Climate change is real and it’s bad and it’s coming from the conservative Republican run insurance companies that are saying it loudly by their actions of dropping policies and or raising premiums to unaffordable levels in risky climate change prone areas which is sadly almost everywhere now
The irony is that the bulk of the people who deny climate change is real are the ones who live in these states that are getting hit by it the most.
People in red States and Republicans that deny climate change is happening I'm sorry should not be subsidized by Blue States and people that actually believe science and have brains in their heads
Just imagine if there were no Republicans how great this country would be
Notice they never talk about weather modification or weather warfare.
And the cost of insurance will continue to rise, especially after this, and after every new disaster. It will be unaffordable to live near the beach for everyone except the wealthy.
All these christian conservatives about to turn socialists
Meanwhile in their bible Mathew 7: 24-27 god call called them fools😂😂
Got to love it
That sure is a-LOT, of water!
Oh now who needs a hand 🤔 hmm. Where's your relief? Oh yeah your Governor spent it on himself and all his trips to fly around trying to be president which will never happen.
Don't worry Florida our great President Biden will come in and save the day and step in where your Governor fails u. While your Governor is battling books. Biden will come in and help clean up
Why don't the good folk of Florida ask god to insure them?
Florii-DUH! Going to have 4 more hurricanes this year. Buckle up
Insurance companies are leaving Florida.
Climate change has been happening for millions of years. Take your crazy someplace else – we're all stocked up here.
Americans love hurricanes for the looting and free government handouts. That"s why most of them live in trailer parks in hurricane and tornado areas.
If you can't buy property insurance, the state's economy will collapse for sure. That is exactly what's happening in FL and there's nothing they can do about it. They can thank climate change and DeSantis.
💔💔 only 2 all wildlife from 🐢2🐊 & even 2 🕷️/2 the environment 💔💔 -😊😊 voters in florida voted 4 GOP policies now they have 2 deal w/live w/ the consequences of their vote😂😂. (how many voters in florida after this hurricane would still quickly support a desantis presidency?
Over decades the insurance companies have been bribing the politicians to make laws so as to make sure that they can do and get away with whatever they want to do. Now those same Insurance companies are running away from the same States because it's costing them too much money. When will the people start to move away from those States.
Insurance companies are running for the hills, but climate change is not a thing. Okay.
🙏🙏🙏 Jacksonville
Flood insurance is issued through the US government
Republicans say there is no climate change so insurance companies don’t have to cover it! Will this cause another bank bailout to recoup their uninsured properties?
Easy solution — people stop moving into areas where the possibility of disaster exists – OR – if they want to take the risk – the RISK has to be on them – and government.
Do you think Florida will…
1) Make it so that no business requires insurance to operate in the state?
2) Do something about climate change?
I'm guessing they'll pass #1 DECADES before they do anything about climate change.
Capitalists must capitalist, after all.
God must be angry with the sinners in Fla., right?
Move away from the coast…… Hurricane tend to come every year…..wake up people….
…."You always hear the Priest say at Holy Mass; "This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world".
I have given My Body and My Blood for the salvation of Men and not the world! Well, precisely
when sin entered by satanic deception and the consent of man,
everything was perverted, nature lost its perfect balance: it was charming and had a
divine harmony created for man, so that he would be his king, but he lost everything
and it became a reality covered by a sad shadow, without light; hatred
and death strangled her and she sought a precarious balance of survival until today.
Often she rebels against man, even killing him; she no longer recognizes him as a king but as a tyrant.
Only I can give that harmony of love again, when the full manifestation of the
Children of God comes…….
Maybe Biden shouldn't have blown up that pipeline in Europe.
For profit everything capitalism will see us all slaves to the oligarchs of the world. This is what they want ! Revolution time!
I believe in climate change. It happens 4 times every year.
