“If we continue, however, with the policies that we have out there, we are clearly on a pathway now of 2.7 degrees or 3 degrees where adaptation is simply not doable anymore. This is just what it is. We cannot protect Amsterdam from sea level rise of 3m. This is just not doable,” Thallinger said.
Why insurers worry the world could soon become uninsurable
Günther Thallinger, a board member at Allianz, one of the world's biggest insurers, says the climate crisis could make adaptation economically unviable.

<$1B invested in a 100% Canadian public service to deliver things coast to coast to coast & employ 62k ppl securely? “unsustainable”
$3-$30B /yr for 147k ppl to have boom-bust jobs for private, foreign oil & gas? “necessary”

Did you see the Elders 4 Climate Sanity downtown #hamont on Friday? They were demonstrating in front of RBC!
RBC uses your money to fund dirty oil & gas projects that pollute air, water, Indigenous communities
If you have money at RBC, TD, Scotia, BMO, CIBC - switch to a local credit union!

A reminder of the anti-sprawl bear that no #HamOnt councillors want to poke ahead of 2016.
But if they keep widening the car lanes that sprawl relies on they're effectively handing developers an OLT victory.

With Hamilton 350 and Environment Hamilton, briefing Hamilton residents on how to defend their city's plan to build tens of thousands of family-sized homes inside existing neighbourhoods rather than squandering their construction and infrastructure on inefficient sprawl.
