And now add climate change to the list. 🤬

“The guidance, which was distributed to several staffers last week, comes on the back of multiple new directives to cut off NIH funding to grants that are focused on subjects that are viewed as conflicting with the Trump administration’s priorities, such as gender identity, LGBTQ+ issues, vaccine hesitancy, and diversity, equity and inclusion.”

This applies not only to housing, but to infrastructure, transportation, agriculture, and industry. The economic value of entire regions—coastal, arid, wildfire-prone—will begin to vanish from financial ledgers. Markets will reprice, rapidly and brutally. This is what a climate-driven market failure looks like.

A strong message about insurance and climate change: linkedin.com/pulse/climate-ris

If insurance is no longer available, other financial services become unavailable too. A house that cannot be insured cannot be mortgaged. No bank will issue loans for uninsurable property. Credit markets freeze. This is a climate-induced credit crunch.

Hearing from California, Iowa, Ohio and Oregon that #FEMA and #DHS has not released any disaster grant reimbursements in over 30 days. Most requests were submitted circa 2/20/25 with no funds received as of 3/26/25.

These are critical emergency disaster recovery grants. Lack of approved disaster funding will cripple governments as they work on their budgets. These reimbursements come from American tax dollars that are put into the Disaster Relief Fund.

…y que son los que más necesitados de apoyo y recursos para mitigar y adaptarse al cambio climático tales como refugios climáticos, fuentes de agua o zonas verdes”

BBC offers video taken near Gounsa Temple, a large and historic Buddhist temple built in 618 AD, which they report as having "burned down" among raging wildfires in South Korea.

For some of us, our minds race, imagining ourselves there, what would we do? Measure the distance probably, decide if we're safe. We hope no action is required. If we're far enough away, we hope to decide we can go about our lives. This is not about us.

That a static measuring tool reassures us about a kinetic event is a hint about the kind of denial we're in. Too many people unconcerned about walls that are closing in, preferring to see it is a problem only for those closer to the walls. It fuels in our society a love of politicians willing to tell us that this will not affect us. No wonder alternative facts are so appealing.

If we can just be left alone to get through our own lives, surely it can be seen to be someone else's problem.
