It’s the very sharp rise in insurance premiums and in refusals to offer insurance coverage. One company says bluntly “We believe what the scientists are telling us…We believe it would be bad business to continue to add to our risk.” It's conspicuous that the denialists aren't rushing to make a fortune selling insurance at inflated premiums to all those people who can't get cover because they live in areas supposedly not threatened by rising seas. Funny that, you'd think they could make a killing. Quote: Across to the southern Florida coast and a less intense but nonetheless troubling feature of climate change.
