The director of thinly-veiled climate crisis allegory Don’t Look Up has said that his home insurance was cancelled due to climate-linked disasters.
The crisis has led California’s state government to impose “temporary” one year moratoriums on insurance cancellation for three years running.
Many home insurance plans do not include natural disasters, and some towns hit by hurricanes in 2020 have since suffered sharp spikes in mortgage delinquency rates as residents struggle to afford repairs or extra insurance premiums.
“Just had my home insurance cancelled because Southern California is at too high risk now for fire and floods,” he tweeted, including an emoji of a comet.
