What Happens When the Land Runs Out? Earth's Extremes: Full Episode

[@BattNW]

We cannot keep rebuilding storm after storm. It's a tough reality, but we must relocate instead of rebuild. Fires don't always return, but Gulf and SE coastlines are uninhabitable economically, and those coastal areas need trees and marshes and nature to better reduce erosion and threats to inland communities. It's lose lose to rebuild. Relocate and restore the natural barriers

[@trevinbeattie4888]

​@@alveolateIf a large enough number of people are insured _and_ the companies predict accidents / disasters well enough to set their premium prices accurately, then _on average_ they should be taking enough money in from insurance premiums to cover the cost of loss reimbursements plus the cost of running their business. When large-scale disasters happen more frequently or unpredictably, their payouts for insurance coverage exceed what they bring in from premiums and hence they lose money.

Climate change and rising sea levels will make properties in low lying areas and coastal areas impossible to insure. Banks will be reluctant to give a mortgage for 15 or 30 years because the property may be under water. Selling properties to average buyers will become impossible in the future as banks and mortgage companies stop making loans for these properties. Coastal areas are a high risk for insurance and extreme weather like hurricanes. People will have to self insure and take the risk of loss. Condo associations are losing their insurance and if they find a new higher cost policy they will be passing on the higher costs to association members. Flooded cars from hurricanes fill the salvage lots. Insurance companies will raise rates and pass on the costs and risks to policy holders next year. Coastal properties will be confined to wealthy individuals that can buy properties with cash and self insure for losses from hurricanes or rising sea levels.

Cell phones, big flat screen TVs, internet service, subscriptions and keeping up with the Jones eats up more income. The vast majority don't need 10 children to help run the farm.

Let the private markets deal with boutique issues, special cases etc. In the same way that "health insurance" shouldn't be for-profit, but a surgeon or pianist insuring their hands should totally be a thing, for-profit homeowner's insurance for basic needs should be a basic good.

"Nice oversized truck. Nice car dependent suburb with useless lawns replacing native habitats. etc" What we need is to completely rethink our entire approach to urban development if we wish to have any hope of countering the changing climate. If we just keep being unsustainably wasteful with our land use, we will eventually run out of it. There are several terraforming options which can prevent or at least considerably mitigate storm erosion and by the looks of it none of them are being applied here. In fact, here several terraforming options which lead to increased erosion are being applied instead. If this was in the Netherlands, those regions would be prime real-estate after getting reclaimed from the ocean with well placed dams and other flood related controls. Likewise there are ways to mitigate fire risks without resorting to surrounding the house with concrete. Andrew Millison has made a few videos detailing some of the solutions to avoiding flood and fire damage to a house, and while much of it is 'just don't build it there' there's a lot that can work even if you picked the wrong place or it became the wrong place. That standalone suburb homes in Miami, New York, Phoenix, and Fairbanks all look pretty much the same is insane. They all have different climates and should have different solutions. Yet the only difference I've seen between those locations is that sometimes homes in Florida are built on stilts. That's it. Phoenix is especially bad since all homes there should have awnings or overhang balconies to provide shade and reduce the amount of energy needed to cool those homes. All homes should be aligned East-West to expose the longest side to the South (or North if you're in the Southern hemisphere) so that when the sun's low in the winter there's passive heating of the home and when it's high there's less heading of the home during the morning/evening. Basically point is there's a ton of very easy wins that we could be doing to make everything less bad, yet we simply aren't. Edit: One more thing, I recommend you look into sand mining... it's pretty grim and largely to blame for flooding.

I believe that if you have trees cut back 50 to 100 ft. from your house and a nonstop sprinkler system for the surrounding yard and roof. Your likely to avoid having your home burn down.

Until the wind blows the embers all around, and they land on the flammable places that the hot wind just dried out. Good luck with that. What happens when they cut off the water to fight the front line... how do you wet your home?

Yeah, using an expert who drives a cybertruck that can't work properly in a light rain makes that expert lose all credibility.

Fantastic I wonder is these aircraft may also be used in the future of bomb cyclones of the northwest? Could they intensify in the future? Have these planes flew thru storms as they Rapidly intensify? This climate change needs some idea of what is to come.

[@angelreder9064]

then why aren't we making communities more weather wise instead of filling rich peoples pockets with tax dollars. Its so hard to trust the truth of this material as any thing that shows a different data with different conclusions is not included

[@TheEsseboy]

It is showing the best data...the ones that are not disproven. Science uses logic and mathematics to disprove or prove data sets, if you include all data out there you will not know what is up or down unless you are a scientist.

Some of it has to do with inflation

[@holzhausholz8215]

And the price of eggs?

[@nihil1]

A lot of it, actually. The insurance crisis pressures the prices up.

[@Ultralightaman]

@@holzhausholz8215 price of construction and property value has gone up a lot. Makes it more expensive to insure. Now when big storms come they are repairing over crowded 500-300k homes that are probably worth 200-100k because of location.
