In this episode, Paul explains why catastrophic weather events are becoming uninsurable: broken risk models, a stressed reinsurance market, rising rebuild costs from inflation and tariffs, and the dangerous concentration of homes and commercial buildings in climate-vulnerable areas. He also explores what cascading climate financial risk looks like in practice.
