Fascinating how Finance and Insurance Industries are forced to face the reality of Climate Change ... while so many GOP governors actively attempt to deny it.
What I don't appreciate is the cost of risk being spread among those who choose NOT to live in these areas, and having my HO Insurance go up 40% this year without any claims.

Banks Are Finally Realizing What Climate Change Will Do to Housing
Extreme weather threatens the investment value of many properties, but financing for climate mitigation efforts are only just getting going.Rising sea levels, biodiversity collapse, extreme weatherâthese are the grisly horsemen of climate apocalypse. But donât forget the fretting loan officers. A study published earlier this year found that US mortgage approvals tend to dip following periods of hotter-than-normal weather. For every 1 degree Celsius that temperatures rise above average, approvals fell by nearly 1 percentâand their value by more than 6.5 percent.
Lower consumer demand was only part of the problem, according to the studyâs authors. The effect was mostly down to loan officersâ worries about climate change and what it might mean for the assets they were lending against. In other words, climate change was devaluing property before their very eyes.
Itâs not just the heat. In May, yet another beachfront house in North Carolinaâs Outer Banks tumbled into the angry sea. Itâs the sixth home lost along Cape Hatteras National Seashore since 2020.

I'm a pessimist here. I don't think FLA people will wake up if that happens. Although I do think they will feel validated in discounting climate change if it doesn't.

I'm not sure why this year would be the one where anyone in Florida awakens...
