    Not concerned enough to ensure they encourage and engage in near zero emissons (2-3t per person per annum) though.

    What thwy are trying to figure out is how to ensure government subsidies them and kicks the can down the road until it all collapses.

    It’s ok, Trump and his fascist bootlickers have declared that climate change didn’t exist. Surely that means that insurance companies won’t raise prices.

      That’s crazy logic even for a Trumpologist. Companies always raise prices. Oil goes up? Raise the prices! Oil goes down? Raise the prices. Oil price stagnation? Raise the prices!

    Is California the only sane place left in the US? I feel that every time I read something slightly positive its always California.

      No. We have a system which gives more power to less populated areas. Plenty of fairly reasonable people still; just don’t have power except in a few areas

      NYC might have a moderate socialist dem candidate for mayoral election this year. He crushed it in the primary. Even my straight male ass has a boner for him at this stage. And I don’t even get to vote, I’m not American, nor do I live there lol

    What about the other 13%. Are they not concerned or do they not think it will rise?

    And none of those people actually know anything about the topic except that they’re worried. Useless poll.

    The huge price tags the climate disasters keep racking up are going to make large swathes of the country uninsurable. CA is just leading the pack because things are more expensive overall there.
