According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), insurers initiated just over two million homeowner policy non-renewals in the US in 2024, a 61% increase from the year before. Non-renewal rates rose in every NAIC region between 2018 and 2024, by between 96% and 216%, with the Southeast recording the sharpest increase https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/au/news/catastrophe/record-heat-in-2026-puts-the-insurance-industry-on-notice-596630.aspx #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#USA #US The vast majority of registered US voters (65 per cent) support transitioning the US economy from fossil fuels to 100 per cent clean energy by 2050. An even bigger share think carbon dioxide should be regulated as a pollutant (77 per cent of registered voters, including 56 per cent of conservative Republicans) (text available in “reading mode”) https://www.nationalobserver.com/2026/11/09/opinion/us-climate-movement-victories-midterm-elections #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment

Scientists have discovered that the stickiness of underwater “marine snow” plays a surprisingly important role in how much carbon reaches the deep ocean. Gooier particles resist bacterial breakdown and can transport more than six times as much carbon to the depths, revealing an unexpected connection between ocean slime and Earth's climate https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/11/261105224558.htm #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

To meet electricity demand through 2030, the IEA calculates annual grid investment must increase by about 50% from today’s $400 billion per year. Any delays will substantially increase global emissions by prolonging reliance on fossil fuels, the IEA warns “Power grids have not been readied enough for the scaleup of renewable electricity generation” https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-life/life/greenpage/2026/11/08/upgrading-power-grids-to-accommodate-renewable-energy-is-a-key-issue-at-climate-talks #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#USA #US But in truth, the US betrayal on climate has always been much, much bigger than Trump The multiple veto points that exist across its legislative system - as well as the strength of its fossil-fuel lobby – mean that the US never developed the same political consensus around climate action as occurred in the UK and EU (text available in “reading mode”) https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/cop31-turkey-antalya-cliamte-change-trump-conference-b3080710.html #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

America’s climate betrayal has always been much bigger than Trump

The US is the only major economy not in attendance at the Cop31 conference in Antalya – but it will take more than Donald Trump’s midterm reckoning to restore its diplomatic influence, says Nick Ferris
