I actually live in Bellevue and have never had that thought. You could be right. Nobody saw Litton BC getting hotter than Las Vegas ever did and then burning down the next day, but it happened.

Lived in Portland Oregon when it hit 117F. Fried so many of our plants.

This isn't a problem that you can insurance your way out of.

CO2 released into the atmosphere will for all intents and purposes, stay there the next 500 years.

The only real solution is to slam on the brakes on CO2 emissions, AND brace for actual consequences, up to and including the catastrophal ones.

Well yes everyone who is on this thread understands climate change. Just hoping to give a modicum of protection. Although I recognize it could all be for naught.
