Frankly, I'm surprised anyone insures anything but cars in CA, what with fires, floods, earthquakes, mudslides, the occasional tornado and general high winds damage, and threat of tsunamis.

I suspect in the future, home insurance will go the way of health insurance, where you can get it, but for much larger copays than the current deductable-amount-of-choice system we now have. At least for those if wildfire areas of the state...which also happen to be the reddest parts of CA. So you can already hear the bitching blaming the Democrats for discriminating against them.

Ta, Dok. Even before I knew about the science, I understood that using fossil fuel for transportation, fertilizing and pesticiding crops, and making all this fucking plastic and having no safe plan for its disposal would lead to disaster. It's one of the reasons I never wanted to have children; I did not believe I could leave them a fit planet worth living upon.
