While increasingly hostile weather has played a role in growing annual catastrophe losses that now average $132 billion globally, it's actually non-hazard factors such as oil prices, construction materials, and labor costs that account for 80-90% of the cost.  That's the surprising research finding from global reinsurance broker Gallagher Re.  The lines between “primary” and “secondary” perils also need rethinking.Former Florida Deputy Insurance Commissioner Lisa Miller sits down with the chief researcher, and with the chief risk officer of one of Florida's largest property insurance companies to discuss the importance of considering these non-hazard factors in rate calculations, and the need for better building codes, resilience efforts, and potential legislative incentives to mitigate risks and reduce costs. Show Notes Joining Host Miller are Steve Bowen, Gallagher Re's Chief Science Officer and researcher behind the Q1 2026 Gallagher Re Natural Catastrophe and Climate Report, and Ryan Hodges, Senior Vice President of Risk Management for American Integrity Insurance Company, headquartered in Tampa, Florida.  The focus was on the practical implications the research findings have for insurance companies, reinsurers, policymakers, builders, and consumers alike.  Miller opened the discussion by noting that global insured catastrophe losses now average approximately $132 billion annually and that severe convective storms − including thunderstorms, hail, tornadoes, and straight-line winds − have become major contributors to those losses.   The Rise of “Non-Hazard” Cost DriversWhile climate and weather patterns certainly matter, the Gallagher Re report concludes they account for only about 10% to 20% of the increase in insured losses over the past two decades.  “When you're looking at the overall frequency of events, there's not really any data that suggests that we're seeing an overall increase in the number of the events themselves,” said Bowen, who is also a meteorologist.  “We're starting to see some emerging signs that events are behaving a bit more radically, there's more volatility than what we've seen before in the past, but it wasn't enough of an obvious signal for us to feel like this is really what's driving why losses continue to go up.” The report found that 2008 marked a major shift in replacement and exposure costs, and identifies several major non-hazard contributors to the remaining 80% to 90% of rising loss severity, including: Oil price increases affecting asphalt roofing materials  Rising labor and construction costs  Supply chain disruptions  Inflation and consumer price index increases  Claims litigation and social inflation  Urbanization and population growth in exposed regions  All of the above have led to the majority of higher replacement costs following catastrophes.Urbanization and the Expansion of RiskOne of the non-hazard factors noted is the increasing concentration of...

Dan and Ross. Winemaker Ross Cobb is our guest again today on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell. He is the founder of Cobb Wines. Ross was on the show once before, on this episode in January of 2025. Daedalus Howell remembers meeting Ross Cobb maybe 30 years ago, when they were both at the beginning of their careers. They begin by tasting a Chardonnay from 2023, which Dan describes as a nice cool vintage. The vineyard is in the eastern Sonoma County in the Sebastopol area. It was planted in the late 1990s. He got some Pinot Noir from the new owner, and he also got some Chardonnay. He considers this to be one of the best Chardonnay vineyards around. The vines are mature, it gets 10% new oak, full malolactic fermentation, 22 months in barrel, and it's not overly done. Dan Berger gives credit to all of those techniques, which gives it a combination or richness and tartness. The texture is rich and the aftertaste is delicate. It is only 12.5% ABV so it won't knock you over. CWC is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards. Visit Deodora to discover 72 acres in the Petaluma Gap that are producing exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Sip the difference!  Ross describes how his parents planted the vineyard in 1988-1989. He attended UC Santa Cruz where he designed his own program focussed on the living soil. Then he met all of his neighbors who had vineyards, names like Dehlinger and Rocchioli. Then he worked for Ferrari-Carano, Williams-Selyem and then for Flowers. Next they taste a Riesling. Ross and Dan Berger both get their Riesling grapes from Cole Ranch. Both of them make it dry and Dan credits Ross for a great product aimed at Riesling purists – like Dan. After the break they taste the Pinot Noirs. Ross Cobb says the 2023 Pinot Noir from Emmaline Ann Vineyard was his transformational vintage. He recalls the 2006 crop when he picked at 21.9 Brix. At first he was afraid that he had made a bad decision. But it turned out well, because of the secondary chestnut and spicy aromas that emerged. Dan Berger says 2006 was the greatest age-worthy vintage Sonoma County history. “This is astounding!” says Dan. He likes it because it was a cool year. Dan says Ross did well to pick early because the problem with a lot of wine is over-ripeness. Dan observes that this year’s crop is dealing with 90-degree daytime highs in March. He also thinks that we will also have some cooler weather in the next month. Dan says the best weather report in the world comes rerom Abacela Winery. Greg Jones who has a PhD in climate science, publishes excellent meteorological reports on the western US. His reports are free online.  Look for the Current Weather and Climate Report on this page. The last tasting is the 2021 Doc’s Ranch Vineyard. It is another representation of Sonoma Coast style. They have 22 acres of vines at high altitude. It is risky, and can yield as little as half a ton per acre. Ross calls it a good place for ripening in September and October. This vintage was picked in late October.

The European Union's latest annual climate report reveals last year was the world's third-hottest on record. The report also finds the global three-year average has warmed by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius for the first time, a threshold scientists warn dramatically increases the risk of extreme weather events. Climate experts say while the findings are troubling, China and India have made notable improvements in reducing emissions. - Новый ежегодный климатический отчёт Европейского союза показывает, что прошлый год стал третьим самым жарким за всю историю наблюдений.

According to the latest annual climate report from the European Union, 2025 was the third warmest year on record. But there is also good news, as two countries have made remarkable progress in reducing their emissions. - Das Jahr 2025 war laut dem neuesten Jahresklimabericht der Europäischen Union das drittwärmste seit Beginn der Aufzeichnungen. Doch es gibt auch gute Nachrichten, denn zwei Länder haben bemerkenswerte Fortschritte bei der Reduzierung ihrer Emissionen erzielt.

Climate Can't Wait, a statewide coalition of over 55 environmental, climate, and community groups, released its second climate report card for Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY). The final grade was an F based on her track record of backsliding on implementation of critical climate legislation and failing to take actions to achieve the mandates of New York State's 2019 Climate Law (the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act or CLCPA). An Albany Supreme Court decision last October, Citizen Action of New York vs. DEC, found that the Hochul administration's failure to issue greenhouse gas reduction regulations as required by the Climate Law was illegal. Bob Cohen reviews the report card with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

In this week's Frankly, in a continuation of his ‘What I Learned This Week' series, Nate  updates viewers on things he learned in the past week, and the implications for our sociocultural trajectory. This edition focuses on recent financial and political headlines – global gold holdings, shifting geopolitical energy deals, and new U.S. Department of Energy reports – and explains their relevance to our biophysical reality and broader geopolitical landscape. Through this exercise, Nate invites podcast viewers to use a systems lens to integrate the wide array of news we are bombarded with into the large evolving story of The Human Predicament. Why does it matter that central banks now hold more gold than the U.S. treasuries? How might expanding energy collaborations between Russia and China shift the global political power of the United States and Europe?  How do current economic and political incentives affect the nature of energy science, and what we consider to be ‘truth' itself?

What Does Extreme Heat Do?Since the pre-industrialized era, the global temperature has increased by about one degree Celsius. Although one degree may not seem significant, the consequences are increases in the intensity of heatwaves and drier conditions. In addition, in dense urban settings buildings trap and absorb this heat and cause even a higher area of heat relative to surrounding areas. The heat island effect is also exacerbated by the lack of greenery. With current fossil fuel emissions, increased heating of 1.5 degrees Celsius or more is predicted to happen globally within this decade. Among the most promising solutions to combat extreme heat in cities is the effort to promote natural systems – trees, creeks, and parks in cities and creating resilience hubs where people can stay cool and safe from dangerous temperatures.  Because heat impacts individuals in multiple ways, the response to extreme heat must also be multifaceted.  Responses to Extreme HeatThere are many possible responses to extreme heat. On an individual level, for example, when human body temperature rises to the point of heat stroke, individuals are subject to serious illness or in some cases, death.  Heat poses a particular threat when the body is physically unable to cool down. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), between 2000 and 2016, 125 million more people were exposed to heat waves than in the period before 2000. Actions individuals can take to reduce heat exposure include avoiding going outside at peak temperatures, reducing the heat inside of homes, and if reducing heat at home is not an option, going where air conditioning is available. For some vulnerable populations like farmworkers, staying inside where there is air conditioning is not an option. In some states, like California, a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit initiates the California's Heat Illness Prevention Standard, which is enforced by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).  The Standard requires that training, water, shade, and rest be provided to outdoor workers. Currently, there is no federal protection or policy for workers who may experience extreme heat. While a proposed rulemaking is in the works, it may take years before a final regulation is completed.How to Establish Resilience and Safe HubsIn the meantime, there are key actions that anyone can take, including something as simple as making extreme heat a topic of discussion as part of increasing awareness. By spreading awareness and recognizing the consequences of extreme heat, politicians and policymakers will be much more likely to pay attention to the issue and to community necessities. Global and local temperatures are continuing to rise, and, as a result, it is important to have community access to locations with air conditioning systems, heat pumps, and safety hubs particularly in communities whose residents do not have home air conditioners. Hubs may include libraries, churches, schools, and nonprofits which can be essential for providing both a cool place to shelter and a source of information and assistance.Shifting to more green spaces is also an important solution to mitigate the impacts of increased heat. In New York, the Highline is a great example of transforming an old historic freight rail line into a park filled with rich greenery. The incorporation of nature into a previously urban dense space provides the city with more trees and access to green space. Addressing extreme heat in cities requires new approaches and creative thinking for a suite of implementation strategies to provide cooling to the public and creation of green space. Who is Our GuestJeff Goodell is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet, which focuses on responses to extreme heat. Goodell is also a journalist who has been covering climate change for more than two decades at Rolling Stone, The New York Times Magazine, and many other publications. He has a BA from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MFA from Columbia University in New York.Further ReadingLindsey and Dahlman, Climate Change: Global Temperatures (Climate.org, 2024)Dickie, Climate Report and Predictions (Reuters, 2023)California's Heat Illness Prevention Standard (Cal OSHA)Krueger, Heat Policy for Outdoor Workers (The Network for Public Health Law, 2023)Heat and Health (WHO, 2018)Heat Island Effect (The United States EPA)Climate Resilience Hubs (Communities Responding to Extreme Weather)Sustainable Practices | The Highline (The Highline)For a transcript of this episode, please visit https://climatebreak.org/alleviating-urban-heat-traps-with-jeff-goodell/

Can environmental rollbacks be reversed, or are we already too late?

A new study from the University of Alabama in Huntsville addresses the question of how much the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is responsible for the higher temperatures at weather stations across the world. Dr. Roy Spencer and Dr. John Christy have spent several years developing a novel method that quantifies, for the first time, the average UHI warming effects related to population density. Their finding: no less than 65% of “runaway global warming” is not caused by our emissions of carbon dioxide, but by the urbanization of the world.Dr. Spencer will join us to go over his findings. We'll also cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including an absurd new bit of unscientific propaganda from the U.S. Climate Reference Network at NOAA, wonder if the sun is setting on wide-scale solar energy, and discuss how alarmists refuse to see that we live in a climactic “golden age”—and more.Join Heartland's Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, H.

According to the latest European State of the Climate Report, 2024 was the hottest year on record for Europe and the fourth warmest year ever recorded in Ireland. As part of the global fight against climate change, Ireland has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 51% by 2030 — but are we really on track to meet that goal?In today's episode, we hear from three climate activists: CEO of the climate change NGO Opportunity Green Aoife O'Leary, marine environmentalist Flossie Donnelly and Catherine Cleary, co-founder of Pocket Forests. They discuss the changes needed at the top, the reasons to remain hopeful about the climate and why individual efforts, even small ones, still matter. Hosted on Acast.

Severe storms and flooding across Europe last year impacted just over four thousand people with 335 lives lost, while a total of 42,000 people were impacted by wildfires, according to a report today. To discuss the report, Professor John Sweeney, climatologist at NUI Maynooth.

Ireland is not prepared to deal with severe weather events. The Climate Council is warning the State isn't ready to deal with storms like Darragh and Eowyn - or others in the future. It says there needs to be serious planning and investment into infrastructure like water and electricity. Chair of the body's Adaptation Committee Peter Thorne, says the Government isn't ready for severe weather. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Deputy Leader of the Green Party, Inagh-based former Senator, Roisín Garvey. Photo(C): maq123 from Getty Images via canva

In December last year, a group of crossbenchers dialled into a secret call with the Albanese government. It was to get a briefing on a government-commissioned report on the national security risks posed by climate change – a report the government has been sitting on since early 2023. Described by one senator as “frankly terrifying”, the Climate Risk Assessment report has not been shared with the Greens, the Coalition, or even the relevant parliamentary committee on intelligence. Now, as the federal election looms, crossbenchers warn it’s “recklessly negligent” to keep the report’s findings hidden from Australians. Today, chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper, Karen Barlow, on why the government is keeping national security threats a secret.

Backed by scientific consensus, Anne-Sophie campaigns against deep-sea mining to raise awareness and spread the word on the disastrous consequences it would have for marine biodiversity, our climate and humanity.She emphasized the importance of individuals taking part in these campaings and the powerful impact that collective small actions have had in winning campaings against deep-sea mining so far.A critical decision on the future of deep-sea mining in the Pacific region will be made in July 2025, potentially allowing the industry to begin if there is no pushback. Anne-Sophie calls for Australia to join the moratorium against deep-sea mining to protect our oceans. Find Anne-Sophie Roux on social media: https://www.instagram.com/ansroux/  Professor Greta Pecl, Marine Ecologist and Director of the Centre for Marine Socioecology at the University of Tasmania.  With ocean temperatures rising due to climate change, species distribution are shifting worldwide. Professor Greta Pecl studies these changes in marine ecosystems to better understand their impacts biodiversity, ecosystem stability, and human health, well-being, and culture.Her research focuses on species redistribution - such as the decline and disappearance of kelp populations - and how marine ecosystems respond to climate change. She explores the interactions between ecological and social aspects of marine conservation and management, using socioecological approaches to adapt natural ressource management for changing climates.Professor Greta Pecl's work highlights the effects of species shifts on fisheries, Indigenous communities that rely on local fish populations, and more broadly, on all of us. She emphasizes the importance of sustainable fisheries management and how it can help mitigate these changes.Beyond her research, Professor Greta Pecl's love for the ocean brought her to actively engage in raising awareness about marine life and ecosystems, by advocating for citizen science, science communication and public engagement.She was a also lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Chane's (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report. To know more about Professor Greta Pecl's work: https://discover.utas.edu.au/Gretta.Pecl/aboutState of the Climate Report: http://www.bom.gov.au/state-of-the-climate/2024/documents/2024-state-of-the-climate.pdfRedmap program: https://www.redmap.org.au/about/redmap-team/Reef Life Survey: https://reeflifesurvey.com/ Song: Warrior by Meraki Mae

Natuklasan ng 2024 State of the Climate Report na patuloy na nagbabago ang klima ng Australia, na may higit pang mararanasang init, mas mahahaba at mas pabagu-bagong panahon ng sunog, mas matitinding pag-ulan, at tumataas na lebel ng dagat.

The 2024 State of the Climate Report has been released and warns that if action is delayed, the costs of adapting to an ever-changing climate will continue to increase. With Australia less than a decade away from an emissions tipping point, climate experts are urging leaders to step up actions to mitigate climate change.

“We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled.  We are stepping into a critical and unpredictable new phase of the climate crisis”.Those are the opening sentences of the 2024 State of the Climate Report, led in part by scientists at Oregon State University.  I'm willing to bet that not a single person listening to this needs to be convinced that fossil fuel caused climate change is a global emergency.I think the questions that we're all asking are, how bad is it?  Are we too late to act?  And if not, what can we do to force real action?  My guest today is Dr Jillian Gregg, one of the co-authors of the State of the Climate report.  Dr Gregg is also the CEO Terrestrial ecosystems research associates. This was a great conservation, and I hope you come away angry and inspired like I did.  Get in touch with your thoughts at michael@coastrange.org!2024 State of the Climate: https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/advance-article/doi/10.1093/biosci/biae087/7808595?login=false#485024408Support the showPlease Donate to Help us Keep This Show Free!

Native Americans face a six-fold increased risk of flash floods because of climate change in the next two years. That is one of the predictions in a new study led by the University of Oklahoma. One of the study's authors says “Indigenous communities are grappling with an imminent climate crisis.” And Native groups are both praising and lambasting the Biden Administration's direction on oil leases on federal lands. Depending on where you stand, new policies are either protecting diminishing land, or denying Native people the jobs necessary to feed their families.
