More insurance companies are fleeing the state because of the growing threat from natural disasters.

    So serious question, does the fact that insurance companies are giving up millions of potential customers prove that climate change/disaster is real?

      IIRC, that’s part of why they’re pulling out of Florida. DeSantis made it law that they can’t change premiums based on climate change, so they’ve decided it makes more sense for them to pull out than risk huge payouts when they can’t change premiums.

      Just look at the rising water temperatures. It will be an interesting hurricane season this year.

      I don’t think most of deniers deny the climate change is real, they moved the goalposts to “it’s not caused by humans” a while ago and I’m pretty sure they’re currently shifting them again to “it’s too late do anything anways”.
