Politicians around U.S. are also costing Americans billions.
They're disasters too.
After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Ms Mary Elizabeth Webb
She's a licensed broker in the states 🇺🇸
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
Wow that's nice She makes you that much!! please is there a way to reach her services, I work 3 jobs and trying to pay off my debts for a while now!! Please help me.
And people vote for politicians who say climate change is a hoax.
It doesnt even snow on Christmas in Ohio anymore was like 60 degrees lol.
@@kitjones6896 I'm across Lake Erie, and I was out riding my bike along the lake on Christmas day, and I wasn't wearing a winter coat. I'm sure you know it doesn't freeze over any more.
@@kitjones6896 so what you’re saying is climate change exists, because you’re saying it used to snow in Ohio for Christmas and now it doesn’t.
@@kitjones6896 they were water-skiing on the lakes in Minnesota on news years day....
Climate change isn't a hoax. Man-made climate change is a hoax.
Don't Look up

Also don't look at the massive number of structures we've built in America in the past 20 years. 😂
Oh, just hang on; we ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
maranatha! 🎉🎉🎉
You mean it's going to get worse? Yeah that's a given.
When I was a child (70's) city park lake was frozen by mid November every year. It has not frozen over in 20 plus years, therefore something has changed
Yeah. It's called an interglacial.
@@JimmyD806 🤔🤔🤔 There are other issues not discussed
Money to help rebuild shouldn’t be a problem. But our government keeps giving Ukraine, Israel and other countries billions of dollars more than what these disasters are costing us. It’s crazy how our tax dollars help other countries while our own people here at home have to struggle to rebuild after a natural disaster.
That foreign aid spending is not optional and much if it is spent in the US.
Please stop using problems at home to justify defunding our allies abroad, who are fighting our adversaries with their own lives.
@@dennischiu272we don't care about those foreign countries keep tax payer money in America
@@The_Quaalude Our foreign aid spending is also extremely efficient. Every cent we give them costs us zero lives and weakens an adversary who has openly called for the death of the West. Back home, that money replenishes and modernizes our weapon stockpiles.
It's a great deal for us.
@@The_Quaalude Our foreign aid is also extremely efficient. Zero lives and a small fraction of our military budget, in exchange for hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers lost.
Meanwhile, that money gets spent back at home, replenishing stockpiles and modernizing our military. We'd be insane not to.
@@dennischiu272 "Charity begins at home"....NOT flushing taxpayer's hard-earned money down a wastepipe of Foreign Entanglements.
Please stop using personal gain interests to justify defunding our citizens at home, who are losing their own lives in favor of a money-laundering scheme abroad.
We Americans will continue to pay it because Corps should not have to flip the bill for causing all of this. No way, that's not the American way!
Hey, hey, calm down as an American. Don't you remember the "free money" and all the "free food" during the pandemic? All that wealth, stolen from foreign countries, isn't going away. After the New Orleans flood, insurance rates in Ontario, Canada, went up to help cover it.

The drive to extinction
Faster than expected
Honestly this planet is better off without us. It’ll be fun once we go. No human invented religions or politicians having dominance on earth.
@@BK_718not really all true the earth needs us to coexist it’s how it’s run.
@@antoniobabb1938 earth existed billions of years prior to the evolution of humans and it will exist billions more once we go extinct.
Nosedive to extinction
Insurance prices are about to skyrocket. They are high enough as is!
😢😢😢😢
I mean, we can’t change anything as long as most people keep using freedom to debate.
It's nothing to the money that we have sent to foreign countries
Can't deny climate change when your house insurance goes up
It’s called weather
@@antoniobabb1938 No it's climate change, the cost go up over time and faster and faster, for the insurance company's, over decades now, thats no one time event.
Soon there will be no insurance, for climate induced cost's, because it's not worthwhile anymore.
@@antoniobabb1938In FL, it’s called a 40% increase in home owner insurance premiums. Call it whatever you want. It will kick your a**.
I blame Obama
The truth is...👉 C(lie)mate Change Cult refers to long-term efforts of Neo Feudalists and Totalitarian Narcissists.
NGOs have been the main funding of C(lie)mate Change Cult, primarily paying Sociopaths like Alarmist Fear Mongers, Eco Terrorists, Militant Environmentalists.
the deadliest Atlantic hurricane was the Great Hurricane of 1780, which resulted in at least 22,000 fatalities
Our hazard (fire) insurance has doubled twice in the past 5 years and when I mention that to the ins. co. they say, "Well actually you're lucky we even offer it. Many at the co. want to eliminate fire insurance for California residents in fire prone areas."
And they will, or it’ll be priced so high that they might as well have eliminated it…
yes you should get away from the windows
I know we're hurting, but Zelensky says hes gonna need more money
But... Ron DeSantis said it's all a hoax! And... someone else... hum... who could that be...?
These disasters are nothing new they've been happening for centuries
So when The FEMA Budget matches the Military Budget are we going to Finally question that It Could Be Climate Disaster Caused by The Burning of Fossil Fuels?
People build in fire or flood prone areas and then are disgusted with insurance companies which won't insure them for a small premium.
In many areas that premium no longer exists because the company pulled out after realizing the risk would put them in the red.
If you think young people are having a hard time getting into the housing market now… just wait ten years. The insurance costs will be too restrictive, and lenders will walk away from mortgages when the mortgage and insurance combined are too burdensome.
Unnecessary wars are costing more.
And student loan bailouts.
Exactly what I was going to say. Don’t act like we are broke, don’t pay enough taxes or can afford to house everyone crossing the border without serious consequences. Our home insurance doesn’t need to go up either because our taxes should be covering any deficit.
They won’t stop asking until we put our foot down.
How about we stop wasting money with all the people allowed to cheat the system designed to help those who are truly disabled and can’t work. I’ve known an easy 20 people who were cheating the system my whole life.
I’m working six days a week for the past three years because I can’t find anyone to work. Oddly so many don’t need jobs since the pandemic
Biden wars are ridiculous. this country is in trouble.

Obviously you don’t understand the military industrial complex… in reality, we actually profit off conflict. No matter where on earth it is.
Geico spent 2.5 billion dollars on marketing last year. That's why our insurance costs going up
Geico is the worst insurance company. I had them once and they tried to make me pay for 3/4 of a windshield claim. Got rid of the asap!
BS. $2.5 billion would send men to the Moon. Geico didn’t spent such amounts on marketing! Pull your head out of your a**!
No it’s more due to the fact that insurance companies are going to do everything legally possible not to have to pay for all of humanities stupidity in ignoring climate change. Like the sheer number of disasters this is going to cause is something no insurance company can pay out to anybody they don’t have enough money and thus will be asking for more as a result on premiums. I’m assuming they keep enough in the bank based off predicted climate disasters and they don’t like what they see right now as the predictions are definitely off now that humanity shot past the 3 degree limit and continues ignoring any real measures to fix this. I don’t even blame insurance companies they can’t foot the bill of climate change at all why offer insurance to homes you know will be underwater in 20 years at all when the only way you’d make money off of that is if you charged the entire cost of the house in premiums. Those companies make money when people buy insurance and don’t use it when they know for a fact people will use their disaster relief fund that’s when they raise prices.

Dude, we are losing entire cities soon, this is nothing.
And sending all money to Ukraine
In a fair & just world, Fox News would be paying for all of this.
We have a poor response to forest fires around the world. They also happen to be one of the largest polluters. So if we can stop or greatly reduce them then we will have stopped a large portion of what is speculated to be the problem.
Blaming nature for the pollution of mankind isn't going to solve anything.
The way to reduce forest fires is to reduce forests. But then you have grass and brush fires. Pave everything over. LA doesn't have wildfires.
@@frankblangeard8865 California natives used to have controlled burns, but when whites formed government they passed a law making that illegal so prospectors and miners could work unabated.
Fires are natural and essential to grasslands and Forests to regenerate a grass fire is not bad you know what is bad development of low income housing and destroying those grasslands and Forests, fire should never be suppressed
@@jacobsukovaty520 Low income housing doesn't take up a lot of land. The properties of rich people are not only far more extensive, they have several around the country, not occupying them all the time.
I am in Australia & I laugh at your 104f which is 40c for us. 42c is a usual summer for parts of Australia.
Yeah I live in Aus as well, try 42c in Tasmania for a week. See how the locals and environment handle it.
Crom laughs at your four winds
If the weather is bankrupting the insurance companies, I have to wonder what are the insurance companies there for in the first place.
connive, exploit, & profit with malfeasance, kleptocracy, & corruption in USA
There is not much logic in your claim.
Insurance is a scam
Insurance relies on more people paying fees & not claiming against the people that claim. For example health insurance relies on the fees on younger people that are less likely to make a claim to offset the claims of older members.
@@mrfroghello Insurance is a bet.. if you don't have it then you are betting that nothing goes wrong & if you do have it then you are betting that something will go wrong.
Why aren’t we using AI to forecast out and prepare for the upcoming supply shortages ie., concrete homes vs wood homes ect…
0.04% of the atmosphere is CO2.
By volume, the dry air in Earth's atmosphere is about 78.08 percent nitrogen, 20.95 percent oxygen, and 0.93 percent argon, adding up to 99.96 percent. A brew of trace gases accounts for the other approximately 0.04 percent, including the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. To think that a small increase (200 parts per million in the last hundred years) of carbon dioxide would affect the weather is absurd.
So I guess we are all going to lose our homes due to the fact we can’t afford insurance. When you add it all up house prices insurance and taxes we can’t afford crap we are done. Great America 🇺🇸 yah
If only we didn't give Ukraine all our money
This could have been avoided if humans in total were more mindful, responsible, ethical, and moral.
10 years ahead of schedule.
Time to print more money. lol.
When will they listen
Largest US fires 🔥
1. Great fire of 1910, Idaho and Montana - 3,000,000.
2. North and South Carolina wildfire complex, 1898 - 3,000,000.
3. Great Michigan Fire, 1871 - 2,500,000.
4. Great Fire, Oregon, 1845 - 1,500,000.
And you don't think we have better technology and knowledge than 100 years ago to contain and extinguish fires? This is pointless, we didn't even have aircraft for any of those years
@@jz4461 we also have a lot more stupid people causing fires. The US forest service says 85-90% of all wildfires are due to humans.
Delusional.
So when our federal,emergency management folk need to ask congress for more funds due to climate change…
Can we take those funds from fossil fuel subsidies? Pretty please?
the government should be the insurance company
So are wars.
Vote blue.
Joke...right?
Why dont they just use the floods to put out the fires?
They can make it rain. They brag about all of the time but this is what they wan't. Bring all of us to our knees. Then they can come in and save the day their way. By making us poor . They get our lands our homes and us.
Yet we Have given our Money to Insurance companies and they got lucky 30 something years guess what It's there time to Pay back that gambling not Find loopholes
Where are the climate change deniers?
In their homes enjoying the AC😎
PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN CLIMATE CHANGE ARE REALITY DENIERS!
The planet is becoming uninhabitable for humans..
People here they either don’t believe it in or they don’t care because the damage won’t affect their lifetime. America is doomed and I love it.
Hearts grow colder while the world becomes hotter. It's no coincidence only consequences (of breaking moral, natural & REVEALED Law's) !!
A majority of manufacturing happens in china. Look at the air quality levels over there compared to here
Just so you know. The fire in NM was arson.
"Human caused" does not mean arson.
South FL flooding was caused by only rain. What’s your point?
When mandatory insurances double in price I feel that it might be time to get out the torches and pitchforks here soon.
Weather is not impacted by climate genius
They need to create some kind of cooling system to drop into the ocean to cool them down to prevent hurricanes there’s got to be some fix for this issue
That's the dumbest comment I've ever seen, hurricanes are not an issue
Yes stop causing the under water volcanoes that are happening because of radar impulses of the south africa coast. But go out and buy your clean battery cars and plug them in every night into an already failing power grid. And after 10 years at the most let's just put all of those toxic used batteries into a landfill. Cause that's safe. Wait where do we get the materials to make them. That's right China who uses what. Child labor yeah that's the way. Depend on a country that hates us.
Maybe break off pieces of glacier from Antarctica and tow them up to the Caribbean? Or tow icebergs from the Arctic down to the Caribbean.

America had an opportunity to repent. Tell the truth and to pay reparations. They chose not to do that. Now they will pay a severe price! Everything they built off the slaves will be destroyed. Only true Christians will survive, once God is finished.

A carbon dioxide molecule in the upper atmosphere absorbs a photon with a wavelength of 4.25 microns. What's the likely outcome of this event?
1. Nothing happens.
2. Photodissociation.
3. The molecule decays and emits a photon with a wavelength of 4.25 microns.
4. The molecule dumps energy off to its translational and rotational components and emits a photon at 9.4 microns.
5. The molecule collides with another gas molecule and gives up all or part of its energy without radiating a photon.
6. The molecule decays and emits two photons, each one having half the energy of the original photon.
7. Both 2 and 3 are possible.
8. Both 4 and 5 are possible.
9. Both 1 and 6 are possible.

B. In the center of the bands that CO2 absorbs, pathlengths near the surface are about 10 meters.

Flood insurance is provided by the National Flood Insurance Program. It is deeply in debt.

It doesn't matter what you know. You're just a civilian, and here, an end user.
Hurricane Ian, Harvey, & Maria cost US $400 billion. Ukraine aid won’t even reach 1/4 of that. Blaming Ukraine for people refusing to move out of FL is ridiculous!!!

Please have President Biden pursue peace. We sent billions to Ukraine and Israel but are worried fema is running out of money. We should be pushing peace, not war around the world.
And gop seriously not the answer, Donald want this so uneducated people fall for these lies. Dems are more 'peaceful' you can't deny that. And US is renewing its military around the world at the same time, staying The power around the globe.
It's not pursue Biden for peace, it's vote for Trump! Biden and the democrats are an absolute disaster for the country and the entire world. They have done everything they accused Trump would do, including having us on the verge of WW3. When Trump was in office: zero wars! Facts.
He was installed purposely to bring the end of the world. Get that through your head.
If you do not understand geopolitics (We give them money to fight wars for us. Should we let Russia own Europe ?
