Imagine losing everything. For people in LA and Asheville, that’s their reality. It could happen to you too. Insurance companies exist because we pay them to help us in case of disasters. We trust them to be there for us when we need it most. But just as thousands of people have lost their homes in the worst fires in Los Angeles history — in the middle of winter — insurers have dropped their fire coverage, including major US insurer, Chubb. From hurricane Helene in the South to the LA fires, families and entire communities have lost everything they owned — while insurance companies like Chubb turn a profit and ignore their misery. And if that weren’t bad enough, would you believe me if I said it gets even worse? While insurers have deemed neighborhoods, cities, and entire states too risky to insure, they don’t see a problem with insuring fossil fuel projects that have literally caused those climate risks! Right now, insurance companies like Chubb are backing the largest fossil fuel build-out of our lifetimes — methane gas (aka so-called liquefied “natural” gas or LNG) expansion in the Gulf South. The industry touts methane as a supposedly green fuel — but they’re actually gaslighting you — because in reality, it’s a volatile and toxic super-pollutant that’s 80 times worse for our climate than carbon. Enough lies. Enough backing out. Enough greed. Enough gaslighting. Demand Chubb stop insuring methane terminals NOW! |
