Will Climate Change Make Your Home Uninsurable? | Amy Barnes | TED
Insurance is the hidden engine that keeps the economy churning, but climate change is making home insurance unaffordable for many people, says climate risk advisor Amy Barnes. She reveals why soaring premiums aren’t just bad news for homeowners, but also a flashing red signal for the global financial system — and why investing in resilience…

Flood insurance is available to nearly everyone in the USA, with very rare exceptions. The information she presented on that is false.

Available does not mean affordable. To have flood insurance on land that has never flooded would cost a little over half my monthly income.

Sure, thats why billionaires are buying all coastal properties, including in islands like Hawaii that will vanish in case of this catastrophic situation. That wont happen, cuz the planet is getting colder if you measure it for more than a human life.

LA wildfires are a government problem, not a climate issue. Decades of preventing fires along with no resources put towards clearing tinder that has accumulated has made the slightest fire burn entirely out of control. California used to allow controlled burns to take care of this, but they have long since outlawed that, along with countries like Australia, which is why their wildfires are more wild than ever. As far as no access to flood insurance, that is extremely rare. I know of one place that this happened to, and it was after repeated flooding the government just bought out all the homes and no longer allows the building of homes in that area. And that is mostly due to the fact the whole area was built on a swamp, which was prone to flooding anyway. No, mortgage foreclosures are due to people buying houses in areas that are already untenable, not any new events. Flood areas have been flood ares for a long long time. In California, there are stories going back hundreds of year about whole mountains burning, from the native populations. Listen to how she talks about it: “People struggle to secure debt”. That is an indicator that something has gone horribly wrong, the fact that securing debt is the goal means that everything along the entire chain has gone completely awry.

My very first green design project was connecting a proposed wood burning power plant to a nearby plywood Mill so that this team from the power plant could be used to cure the plywood without using fossil fuels. It was all signed off the money was all in place we did the design I seen the site the plans for the lands to be harvested for down timber or all approved.. and then the greens got in there with baby Jesus and save the bugs. They actually killed a green project and devastated the town where the plywood Mill had to shut down because of all the investment they had made getting ready to use the waste Steam. Now it’s just a ghost town

Simple answer is yes, insurance won’t touch homes with the highest probability of liability using data from weather, topography, coastal areas, algorithms predictions. 😢😢😢😢😢

First they blame it on Russia, then inflation, now its climate…. But the only constant is the for profit motive of insurance… and profits are not made from fair exchange, they are made by exploiting labour, market, and resources… And since an insurance is a bet for something bad happening, the only winners are people who cash out a policy, or insurers that get all the money and try not to pay out…
KInda a broken system of a failed state of late stage capitalism…. But TED is like, no, we get paid to peddle this crap to you, its not the reality, its the climate, Russia and inflation that are costing us more and more.

If what she says happens, these homes will drop in value by a lot. If the price is right, I would pay cash and self-insure. I’m going to bet the climate change won’t be as bad as these people predict.

1:15 you mean they (in USA) require it if you borrow money for the home. It is NOT required if you own your home outright. Then you just have to worry about predatory taxes, maintenance, and repair (including what could be covered under homeowners). Flood insurance is often a separate policy for those in floodplain. A home warranty plan is same concept. They are all banking on getting mote money in premium than claims being paid out…capitalism, business 101.
Prevention and foregoing any lame plan is obviously the best option. Most can’t afford to start out that way. A community project to help neighbors with these projects like the Amish would be an amazing cultural improvement

Interesting perspective — insurance isn’t just protection, it’s the backbone of modern progress. Without it, planes wouldn’t fly, surgeries wouldn’t happen, and dreams wouldn’t take off.

Sudden onsets of uninsurability could be a trigger for foreclosures when property values drop into negative equity. Correlation is also a risk because even if you’ve improved resilience, your community may not have and so they (schools, hospitals, commercial centers etc.) may eliminate services or increase taxes accordingly.

Climate change from humans is a hoax…the earth has a cyclical climate. We didn’t cause the last 2 ice ages ..and yes we were there and survived both. No way fires were causing that.

Last year my house insurance hit 1% of the replacement cost. (NSW Australia) That’s uninsurable as far as I am concerned. There’s nowhere near a 1% chance of a total loss every year.
