WaPo Blames Climate Change For Driving Higher Insurance Costs. It’s Not
by Thomas Richard  Dec 19, 2024
 
A Washington Post (WaPo) article, titled “Insuring your home has never been harder. Here’s how to do it,” claims that climate change is making home insurance more expensive and harder to obtain in many areas. This is false. [emphasis, links added]

While it is true that insurance has become more expensive in recent years, along with most other goods and services, an increase in extreme weather cannot be the cause because it is simply not happening.


Higher insurance rates largely reflect the increased amount and value of the properties and goods being insured.

I have to say that if it was not for the ruse of climate change, the farce of EVs would not be taken seriously by anybody. 

So, in a way, Wapo is correct, but for the wrong reasons.
