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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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.
