Insurance pricing now reflects climate reality. Floods, fires, and heatwaves drive higher premiums, shrinking coverage, and rising household risk. This investigation shows how insurers quantify climate damage.

With cost of living pressures, some believe climate action can wait—but that will only make things worse!

Without urgent action to reduce emissions & adapt to climate risks, the price of inaction will be far greater.

The fossil fuel industry will always appear profitable, and will make decisions that put their profits ahead of our safety, as long as they do not pay even a fraction of the #climatecosts that their products cause. Want CEOs and politicians to make better decisions for our planet? #SueBigOil

From the bush to the ‘burbs, insurance costs are rising. Meanwhile, the fossil fuel companies causing the problem are making billions in profit.

We’re working hard to change this. Join us bushfiresurvivors.org/joinus

It’s time to put Green over greed Doug Ford is in the pocket of fossil fuel giants. We’re fighting to put people before profits by stamping out oil and gas greed.

The video here from @mikeschreiner.bsky.social is pretty great; the text less so

Why accuse companies of greed, or @fordnation of being in cahoots with Big Gas?

Let's focus on #climatecosts & on an urgent plan for everyone (inclu. @Enbridge) to #slashemissions
