OK,Avy is going to say it. Cause all you all seem to over look what is blasting in you’re face.

Her Red LipStick.

That’s great that she is known for it. However,she is No Diva. Red LipStick is Bold. She has No Pipes. I am not feeling it.

Good for her to make her Monies,but go sit on the Bench whislst we bring out the Real Deal Diva’s Bitch!

Last,It is my understanding that she gave 100 million Dollars to charity. Avy Bows Down.

nice one... you seen the comments? "climate change is a hoax". ffs. To answer the question, pretty sure insurance will be covering the costs. but let me ask you this: who pays for peoples destroyed homes after a hurricane, wildfires and floods now that insurance companies are starting to pull out of the market?

Safest to assume that anyone replying to a hipstergram video like that is either a bad faith actor or a bot. Oftentimes both.

Many of the same people...just the insurance company doesn't profit as much.

good article, thanks for posting. I especially appreciated the part about single home labelling. I wasn't aware of that, and the implications are very interesting indeed.

The one thing it misses is what happens when a natural disaster comes through and insurance doesn't cover it? FEMA. and who pays for FEMA? you do.

IMO it's ok for governments to compensate people once for disaster where insurance doesn't cover. but if the insurance companies know the risk is high and are vacating that space, the the government should know too. compensate people once, but don't let them build back in the same place. otherwise you're on your own.

I've been looking at land up in the mountains and I cannot get a single insurance quote because of fire risk, with many places having a 33% chance of wildfire in just a few years. Methinks once that settles in those prices will plummet.

Fake news!
The climate has always changed!

Had this discussion with an friend who was banging on about how it was all bullshit and that he was told in school years ago that we were supposed to be getting colder and having an ice-age. He did a double take when I confirmed that we are supposed to be getting colder, but not necessarily ice-age levels. Then I had to explain about the long term wobble (41 000 yrs) in earths orbit around the sun known as Milankovitch cycles. According to the data we are in a cooling phase, but we have also known since Arrhenius' paper in 1896 that man-made co2 emissions would have a warming effect. So, that means that currently our man made warming is actually countering the natural cooling cycle. Then showed him long term time-framed (course of human history so, ~200 000 years of ice-core data) hockey stick graph which shows the natural cycles, then in the last 200 years how the temp rise has totally destroyed the natural time component.

Finally, he is about my age, so asked him to remember when we actually had consistent cold winters. He had his kids out for Halloween in summer clothes and I had to remind him about trick or treating in the snow was not out of the ordinary when we were kids.

Not sure If I totally got through to him, but I at least made him think.
