"From 2019 to 2022, payouts to homeowners there more than doubled, but premium revenue from customers increased by only a third."

A lot of people may still not be interested in #climatechange but insurance companies increasingly are...and that means getting homeowners #insurance is going to be increasingly difficult (and maybe impossible) in some places.

What Your Insurer Is Trying to Tell You About Climate Change

Insurers are trying to send a message. The government is trying to suppress it.

@TwShiloh Just found out that my home insurance will increase by 50% in the coming year. Nothing else will change. Began to shop around only to find that many of the largest insurers will not write new policies in California.
I am not in a disaster prone area of the state, but that doesn't matter.
Pretty much stuck with current insurer and outrageous premium increase.

@Barbramon1 @TwShiloh That's really troubling. People shouldn't be forced to choose between leaving their homes either due to climate-change-caused wildfires or insurer-induced unaffordable premiums.
