I'm not one for coinage, alas. something like climate action + self interest.

aligned climate action?
profitable climate action?
greedy climate action?

(imo, this is good.)

dang, and, I like that guy

if I was Trump, I would *love* that

so that's where I end up too. and I think, frankly, if the gov't says "fine, we'll make the insurers whole too" or soak up risk/cost then the market will go along with it

strikes me as pretty likely as it's such a win at the ballot box

and lol at "cakeism"

I mean, NFIP already exists, so it can't be zero

Afaik, NFIP only covers 250k, and is pretty narrow. It would seem politically expedient to allow people living in areas of climate risk (who generally don't support broad climate action) that generally vote R to not bear those implied costs. Expanding NFIP probably buys votes, imo

a decent proxy for durable climate policy strikes me as proximity to 1) O&G interests, 2) giveaways to swing state special interests (i.e. corn farmers mean that SAF policy is probably safe. Or, O&G integration means DAC and hydrogen subsides look safe)

oh hell yeah, beautiful
