"Fairfax is already taking massive climate-related hits in '25, expecting up to USD $750M in net losses from the LA wildfires...despite the growing financial risks, they've failed to disclose even the most basic accounting of its #climate exposure–leaving investors in the dark." #ESG #Insurance

Here's our reaction to the CA FAIR plan bailout with a quote from @carolinenagy.bsky.social. CA is basically asking insurers to split the $1b bill with the public. Two things you might not realize though: ourfinancialsecurity.org/2025/02/news...

Cameron, LA used to be the shrimping capital of the world. But ever since methane gas export terminals like Calcasieu Pass LNG began operating in the area, the waters — and their nets — come up empty. Read more in @ran-org.bsky.social's latest blog: www.ran.org/the-understo...

Imagine a beautiful earth we could have if all insurance companies could only insure our future not fossil fuel projects✍🏻Since fossil fuel projects like EACOP are very risky & deadly,they would just stop without insurance 👌🏻 @shellslies.bsky.social @ingridwss.bsky.social @insureourfuture.bsky.social

@climateeconomics.bsky.social yes and no. Climate disasters are fueled by pumping more CO2 into the atmosphere and the culprit behind that is oil & gas expansion. So really it's the fossil fuel industry that could trigger a financial crisis. 🤨 #MakePollutersPay #InsureOurFuture

“Climate change is driving us towards an uninsurable future, not just for home insurance, not just for business insurance, but for renters insurance, too, that has all sorts of distributional equity consequences.” - @cadavejones.bsky.social, former CA insurance commissioner

Insurance is the talk of the town — but will it walk? “The fundamental problem here is that we’re addressing the symptom, but not the cause, which is climate change,” says Dave jones, former CA Insurance Commissioner politi.co/40q6RHo

Big Oil should pay for the LA fires, former CA Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones writes. “If we don’t hold fossil fuel companies accountable for the giant costs they inflict on society, insurance as we know it will be just one of the mounting casualties.” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/o...

Ignoring climate change for so long is becoming expensive. We need a federal building code adapted for different climates that states can't override, and a federal disaster insurance program funded to cover increasing climate risks for everyone. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

There is “no question” that the insurance sector’s own investment in and insurance of fossil fuels is "contributing to our inability to transition," and is bringing about its own demise. 🎯 “Insurance is the canary in the coal mine with regard to the #climatecrisis, and the canary is expiring.” 💥

But do they @publicaddress.bsky.social? Take fossil fuels & climate change for example. Insurance companies insure and invest billions into fossil fuels, which is leading to more severe climate impacts and payouts. Insurers respond by dropping customers "to stay solvent" (read: profits over people.)

Top Italian insurer Generali's decision to stop insuring oil and gas expansion was a new step forward in the fight against #fossilfuel expansion. We hope to see other insurers show how finance can drive the transition to clean energy in 2025. @insureourfuture.bsky.social @reclaimfinance.org
