Climate risk making dwellings undesirable
10% of dwellings in Canada are now uninsurable because the climate risk
has become too great.
People whose homes are destroyed won't have the capital to buy another.
Government must buy them out, while imposing building codes that make
new housing safer.
The article did not mention tar sands, but the Canadian government has
a duty to recognize that its tar sands exports are fueling disaster
for Canadians (as well as for the rest of the world). Fossil fuel
extraction is tantamount to planet roasting. The Canadian government
must reverse its policy of supporting that.
