Canada continues to see extreme weather events and wildfires at an increasing rate and with more severity- and it's leading to rising costs for both Canadians and insurers.
New data from Statistics Canada shows that from 1983 until 2008, insurers spent $400 million annually on average, but since 2009 that number has shot up to about $2 billion each year.
As Sean Previl explains, climate and insurance experts say it's unlikely to change anytime soon but there are things Canadians and insurers can do to help mitigate costs.

As of 2022, China 🇨🇳 was by far the world's largest *coal* consumer with 55% of energy use, an increase of 2% of the total energy from the year before. So China is accelerating the use of coal despite it having signed the Paris agreement.

This post is from a professional, mendacious, Sinophobic bot farm. There are many monikers working for the same bot farm. They post the same comments under different names and then post as if they have support, when in fact it is support from the same bot farm. It can be found on “Fox”, “South China Morning Post”, “BBC”, “Sky”, “The Guardian”, “CNN”, “DW”, “AFP”, “CGTN” and “Global” along with other news sites.

Insurance companies and governments should quit paying for damages to homes in high-rick areas like flood plains or forested environments.

Liberals needs to increase the tax higher so they can fix climate change. Im a big liberal supporter and im happy to pay more tax. i believe anything Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau says .

@bigmike6461 16 дней назад

Dint worry pee pee boy will come in get rid of the tax (you'll still be paying the same). But will reverse most environmental laws, that protect our forests watees and air. and such. Basically allow more pollution.

@BlueTeamRedTeam 16 дней назад

@@bigmike6461lol. Yeah, because after decades of carbon taxes in BC their emissions have gone up and they still get bad weather. WHO could belive that paying more for everything wouldn’t change the climate. I’m in disbelief.

@bigmike6461 16 дней назад

@@BlueTeamRedTeam meanwhile the cons solution to the problem is to make green energy unwanted, and allow an increase in pollution saying its ok, because other countries do our. But I don't expect much from people that believe burning coal is clean, and dumping tailing pond water into rivers, streams, and ground water is perfectly fine.

@@bigmike6461 conservatives don’t think any of that is fine and they aren’t about not developing cleaner energy sources. You’ve had too much koolaid. I bet you think lithium mining is great for the environment and love the unrecyclable windmills and solar panels that also rely on heavy industry and aren’t better for the planet. Did you know it takes 200,000 gallons of wanted to produce one ton of lithium? Sounds super environmentally friendly and sustainable.
