I have an insurance agency along the gulf coast and insure properties from Key West to Galveston. I consider myself up to date on all things insurance. I read several articles a week about the future of insurance, operations of carriers, etc. I am yet to come across a single article detailing the perils of coastal property insurance. Not one.

Remember those scary environmental movies they'd show us in elementary and middle school? We should be completely out of potable water by now because - as kids - we took too long showering and brushing our teeth.
Oh, and everyone should have AIDS by now, too.

Between all of his yachts, cars, infrastructure for businesses, etc.. gates carbon footprint is probably equal to at least a million or more in this country...

He can't be too worried about sea-level rise. This is his 43 Million dollar beach house.

And where would that come from, if it were true, any agency in particular? And couldn't it be argued that the insurance industry has a financial stake in not accepting positions like Gates? (I'm playing devil's advocate)

Did Bill get a commitment from China & India to make changes?

You and me both. Somewhere with a pretty beach and umbrella drinks.

Luckily Bill Gates will be gone before any of this.

The port of Ephesus has silted up over the years and Ephesus is now about 6 miles inland from the coast. The area around Ephesus and harbor turned into a swamp. Mosquitoes increased more and more. A series of malaria epidemics decimated the population and the Ephesians abandoned the city almost in one hundred years. Earthquakes destroyed come part of Ephesus but the unhealthful conditions actually preserved the structures since nobody even wanted to come in and haul off the stones to build other cities. Instead of settling in Ephesus again, they found new port city for themselves and they called there “scala nuova” means new port. Life is still going on in Scala Nuova and it is one of the most popular Mediterranean ports in modern day and called as Kusadasi. Every day in summer cruise ships dock to Kusadasi port and many cruise guests love to visit old port city Ephesus which is inland. Ephesus shows Bill that this happens even without fossil fuels

Covid missed the mark on this one. I wonder how many masks that asshat wears?

I'll start to believe when rich people stop buying beachfront properties and the insurance companies stop writing policies.
Until then, this is bullshite.

And instead we just found ourselves with a 100 year hurricane season followed by a 100 year winter front. All while watching the states coast fast disappearing.

Is there anything Bill Gates is not an expert on? Sumbitch knows everything.

Focus on Microsoft. Fix all of the bugs and leave the climate to scientists who have a clue. The one(s) you are speaking to are clueless. LINK
Better get ready for the freeze during the next 100 years. Water levels will be fine.

The tendency of decrease in the global Earth temperature started in 2006–2008 will temporarily pause in 2010–2012. The increase in TSI within a short 11-year cycle 24 is expected to temporarily compensate the decrease in TSI within the ongoing 2-century variation. Only the decrease in TSI within the ongoing 11-year cycle 24 accompanied by continued decrease of its 2-century component in 2013–2015 will lead to stable subsequent cooling of our planet, which is expected to reach its minimum in the phase of a deep cooling by 2055–2060 ± 11 (Abdussamatov H.I. Bulletin of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory. 2007. 103. No. 4. p. 292–298). The cooling can be similar to the one observed in the whole Europe, North America and Greenland in 1645–1715 in the period of Maunder minimum of solar luminosity and sunspot activity when the temperature will fall by 1–1.5 Celsius degrees down to the mark of the so-called Maunder minimum. The regular period of climatic minimum (the stage of global cooling) will last for approximately 45–65 years and the new warming will eventually come afterwards within the regular 2-century solar cycle. The deep cooling is expected to be regularly replaced by warming only by the beginning of 22nd century. A forecast of the global cooling by the middle of the 21st century and of the new 200-year cycle followed by global warming in the beginning of the 22nd century is shown on the figure.

This Bill Gates guy needs to drop the crack pipe. So many absurdities that he mentions that it's delusional at least.
I been living in Miami since 1988 and the S Florida coastline has remained intact for as long as I can remember.
If Miami Bch for instance, were to get affected by any water level surge, it would prob take centuries for that to happen if it does happen. The icebergs close to the N Pole will need to melt so rapidly and in quantities so massive in order for something like to happen. in 1000 years? maybe, maybe not

That dude is so fricking desperate to be remembered on Steve Jobs level.
