This is a great way to let everyone know that the 8th grade was as far as you got.
Houston, we have a problem

This is inevitable when we live in a growth economy. My parents bought their first house for 32k in 1980. That same house sold for 235k a month ago.
Insurance rates have to go higher to cover the higher replacement costs. This is why people are not happy with Bidenomics. Wages have not kept up with inflation, so people are struggling with the higher costs.
Poor ol Abbot, begging for federal government’s assistance again. Biden should tell them to just go pound sand.
Most of what are considered severe weather events are actually man made. Flooding has doubled, but the total population who live in flood zones have risen dramatically.
The use of levees along main water ways stunts the water down river so the next town withouta levee has a bigger flood.
Field tiling and storm sewers direct the water out of those areas faster so the water doesn't have a chance to soak into the ground. This increases the risk for droughts.
Forest management over the last 50 years has contributed to fire damage as well as cities building in highly wooded areas.
Sea level has risen 8 inches in 140 years. Not exactly what I would call a scary threat to humans.
Holy crap, you are a big dummy. Between this and your other few posts here, all I can do is laugh. I certainly am not going to engage in a “debate” with a troglodyte such as yourself.
It's what one of the major re-insurers is telling you.
And it's not "more buildings" it's "worse storms".
PROTIP: This is not "insurance". It's "re-insurance" that insurers purchase to cover major losses/events.
This major re-insurer (along with nearly all others) have been informing you that the storms, themselves, are getting worse, and making re-insurance rates go up. You pay an insurance premium consistent with your $70k Lexus vs a $30k truck nowadays. The re-insurers are no longer willing to underwrite major event losses w/o significantly higher premiums, because the severity AND frequency of them is going up.
Here are three facts that are not up for debate among rational people:
1. There is more heat energy in the atmosphere.
2. Storms are driven by atmospheric energy.
3. The laws of thermodynamics are indifferent to all political, economic, and/or social factors that shape people's opinions.
