Insurance companies are making climate risk worse

Tomorrow (November 29), I'm at NYC's Strand Books with my novel The Lost Cause, a solarpunk tale of hope and danger that Rebecca Solnit called "completely delightful."

Conservatives may deride the "reality-based community" as a drag on progress and commercial expansion, but even the most noxious pump-and-dump capitalism is supposed to remain tethered to reality by two unbreakable fetters: auditing and insurance:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality-based_community

No matter how much you value profit over ethics or human thriving, you still need honest books – even if you never show those books to the taxman or the marks. Even an outright scammer needs to know what's coming in and what's going out so they don't get caught in a liquidity trap (that is, "broke"), or overleveraged ("broke," again) exposed to market changes (you guessed it: "broke").

Unfortunately for capitalism, auditing is on its deathbed. The market is sewn up by the wildly corrupt and conflicted Big Four accounting firms that are the very definition of too big to fail/too big to jail. They keep cooking books on behalf of management to the detriment of investors. These double-entry fabrications conceal rot in giant, structurally important firms until they implode spectacularly and suddenly, leaving workers, suppliers, customers and investors in a state of utter higgeldy-piggeldy:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/29/great-andersens-ghost/#mene-mene-bezzle

In helping corporations defraud institutional investors, auditors are facilitating mass scale millionaire-on-billionaire violence, and while that may seem like the kind of fight where you're happy to see either party lose, there are inevitably a lot of noncombatants in the blast radius. Since the Enron collapse, the entire accounting sector has turned to quicksand, which is a big deal, given that it's what industrial capitalism's foundations are anchored to. There's a reason my last novel was a thriller about forensic accounting and Big Tech:

https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250865847/red-team-blues

But accounting isn't the only bedrock that's been reduced to slurry here in capitalism's end-times. The insurance sector is meant to be an unshakably rational enterprise, imposing discipline on the rest of the economy. Sure, your company can do something stupid and reckless, but the insurance bill will be stonking, sufficient to consume the expected additional profits.

But the crash of 2008 made it clear that the largest insurance companies in the world were capable of the same wishful thinking, motivated reasoning, and short-termism that they were supposed to prevent in every other business. Without AIG – one of the largest insurers in the world – there would have been no Great Financial Crisis. The company knowingly underwrote hundreds of billions of dollars in junk bonds dressed up as AAA debt, and required a $180b bailout.

Still, many of us have nursed an ember of hope that the insurance sector would spur Big Finance and its pocket governments into taking the climate emergency seriously. When rising seas and wildfires and zoonotic plagues and famines and rolling refugee crises make cities, businesses, and homes uninsurable risks, then insurers will stop writing policies and the doom will become undeniable. Money talks, bullshit walks.

But while insurers have begun to withdraw from the most climate-endangered places (or crank up premiums), the net effect is to decrease climate resilience and increase risk, creating a "climate risk doom loop" that Advait Arun lays out brilliantly for Phenomenal World:

https://www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/the-doom-loop/

Part of the problem is political: as people move into high-risk areas (flood-prone coastal cities, fire-threatened urban-wildlife interfaces), politicians are pulling out all the stops to keep insurers from disinvesting in these high-risk zones. They're loosening insurance regs, subsidizing policies, and imposing "disaster risk fees" on everyone in the region.

But the insurance companies themselves are simply not responding aggressively enough to the rising risk. Climate risk is correlated, after all: when everyone in a region is at flood risk, then everyone will be making a claim on the insurance company when the waters come. The insurance trick of spreading risk only works if the risks to everyone in that spread aren't correlated.

Perversely, insurance companies are heavily invested in fossil fuel companies, these being reliable money-spinners where an insurer can park and grow your premiums, on the assumption that most of the people in the risk pool won't file claims at the same time. But those same fossil-fuel assets produce the very correlated risk that could bring down the whole system.

The system is in trouble. US claims from "natural disasters" are topping $100b/year – up from $4.6b in 2000. Home insurance premiums are up (21%!), but it's not enough, especially in drowning Florida and Texas (which is also both roasting and freezing):

https://grist.org/economics/as-climate-risks-mount-the-insurance-safety-net-is-collapsing/

Insurers who put premiums up to cover this new risk run into a paradox: the higher premiums get, the more risk-tolerant customers get. When flood insurance is cheap, lots of homeowners will stump up for it and create a big, uncorrelated risk-pool. When premiums skyrocket, the only people who buy flood policies are homeowners who are dead certain their house is gonna get flooded out and soon. Now you have a risk pool consisting solely of highly correlated, high risk homes. The technical term for this in the insurance trade is: "bad."

But it gets worse: people who decide not to buy policies as prices go up may be doing their own "motivated reasoning" and "mispricing their risk." That is, they may decide, "If I can't afford to move, and I can't afford to sell my house because it's in a flood-zone, and I can't afford insurance, I guess that means I'm going to live here and be uninsured and hope for the best."

This is also bad. The amount of uninsured losses from US climate disaster "dwarfs" insured losses:

https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/hurricanes-floods-bring-120-billion-insurance-losses-2022-2023-01-09/

Here's the doom-loop in a nutshell:

As carbon emissions continue to accumulate, more people are put at risk of climate disaster, while the damages from those disasters intensifies. Vulnerability will drive disinvestment, which in turn exacerbates vulnerability.

Also: the browner and poorer you are, the worse you have it: you are impacted "first and worst":

https://www.climaterealityproject.org/frontline-fenceline-communities

As Arun writes, "Tinkering with insurance markets will not solve their real issues—we must patch the gaping holes in the financial system itself." We have to end the loop that sees the poorest places least insured, and the loss of insurance leading to abandonment by people with money and agency, which zeroes out the budget for climate remediation and resiliency where it is most needed.

The insurance sector is part of the finance industry, and it is disinvesting in climate-endagered places and instead doubling down on its bets on fossil fuels. We can't rely on the insurance sector to discipline other industries by generating "price signals" about the true underlying climate risk. And insurance doesn't just invest in fossil fuels – they're also a major buyer of municipal and state bonds, which means they're part of the "bond vigilante" investors whose decisions constrain the ability of cities to raise and spend money for climate remediation.

When American cities, territories and regions can't float bonds, they historically get taken over and handed to an unelected "control board" who represents distant creditors, not citizens. This is especially true when the people who live in those places are Black or brown – think Puerto Rico or Detroit or Flint. These control board administrators make creditors whole by tearing the people apart.

This is the real doom loop: insurers pull out of poor places threatened by climate disasters. They invest in the fossil fuels that worsen those disasters. They join with bond vigilantes to force disinvestment from infrastructure maintenance and resiliency in those places. Then, the next climate disaster creates more uninsured losses. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Finance and insurance are betting heavily on climate risk modeling – not to avert this crisis, but to ensure that their finances remain intact though it. What's more, it won't work. As climate effects get bigger, they get less predictable – and harder to avoid. The point of insurance is spreading risk, not reducing it. We shouldn't and can't rely on insurance creating price-signals to reduce our climate risk.

But the climate doom-loop can be put in reverse – not by market spending, but by public spending. As Arun writes, we need to create "a global investment architecture that is safe for spending":

https://tanjasail.wordpress.com/2023/10/06/a-world-safe-for-spending/

Public investment in emissions reduction and resiliency can offset climate risk, by reducing future global warming and by making places better prepared to endure the weather and other events that are locked in by past emissions. A just transition will "loosen liquidity constraints on investment in communities made vulnerable by the financial system."

Austerity is a bad investment strategy. Failure to maintain and improve infrastructure doesn't just shift costs into the future, it increases those costs far in excess of any rational discount based on the time value of money. Public institutions should discipline markets, not the other way around. Don't give Wall Street a veto over our climate spending. A National Investment Authority could subordinate markets to human thriving:

https://democracyjournal.org/arguments/industrial-policy-requires-public-not-just-private-equity/

Insurance need not be pitted against human survival. Saving the cities and regions whose bonds are held by insurance companies is good for those companies: "Breaking the climate risk doom loop is the best disaster insurance policy money can buy."

I found Arun's work to be especially bracing because of the book I'm touring now, The Lost Cause, a solarpunk novel set in a world in which vast public investment is being made to address the climate emergency that is everywhere and all at once:

https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250865939/the-lost-cause

There is something profoundly hopeful about the belief that we can do something about these foreseeable disasters – rather than remaining frozen in place until the disaster is upon us and it's too late. As Rebecca Solnit says, inhabiting this place in your imagination is "Completely delightful. Neither utopian nor dystopian, it portrays life in SoCal in a future woven from our successes (Green New Deal!), failures (climate chaos anyway), and unresolved conflicts (old MAGA dudes). I loved it."

The Flint water crisis began in 2014, after lead-contaminated drinking water was found to be leaching out from aging pipes into homes citywide.

The American Civil Liberties Union and the Natural Resources Defense Council, with help from other activists and nonprofits, have released statements on the recent progress, celebrating the milestone.

The statements which they chalk up the crisis to “cost-cutting measures and improper water treatment,” that the state “didn’t require treatment to prevent corrosion,” after a “a state-appointed emergency manager” switched the water supply to the Flint River.

There is no safe level of lead exposure; each nanogram causes harm. In addition to long-known risks, such as damage to children’s brains and certain cancers, there is also significant evidence that exposure to lead is linked to numerous cardiovascular diseases, including stroke and heart attack.

The coalition mobilized the citizenry and filed a lawsuit against Flint and Michigan state officials to secure safe water. The result was a settlement in March 2017, under which a federal court in Detroit ordered Flint to give every resident the opportunity to have their lead pipe replaced at no cost, as well as conduct comprehensive tap water testing, implement a faucet filter distribution and education program, and maintain funding for health programs to help residents deal with the effects of Flint’s tainted water, according to the NRDC.

The coalition then returned to court six times in six years to ensure the city and state kept to the timeline, which was delayed by COVID-19, and other reasons which The Detroit News described as “spotty record-keeping” and “ineffective management.”

On July 1st, the State of Michigan submitted a progress report to a federal court confirming that, more than eight years after the settlement, nearly 11,000 lead pipes were replaced and more than 28,000 properties were restored where the maintenance had taken place.

Of the 4,200 buildings where lead pipes are known to still be in service, their owners have either left the properties vacant, abandoned, or have declined the free replacement under the Safe Water Drinking Act. The coalition has said it will continue to monitor city and state progress on these remaining lines.

“Thanks to the persistence of the people of Flint and our partners, we are finally at the end of the lead pipe replacement project,” said Pastor Allen C. Overton of the Concerned Pastors for Social Action, one of the organizations that sued the city. “While this milestone is not all the justice our community deserves, it is a huge achievement.”

Top 5 Strategies to Maximize Returns in Private Equity: A Comprehensive Guide

Private equity is one of the most lucrative investment vehicles, offering investors the potential for high returns. However, achieving those returns requires more than just capital—it demands strategic thinking and execution.     At Rits Capital, we understand that private equity can be both complex and rewarding. In this blog, we’ll discuss the top 5 strategies to maximize returns in private equity while focusing on high-volume, low-competition keywords to boost your investments. 

1. Thorough Due Diligence: The Foundation of Success  

The first step in maximizing returns in private equity is conducting meticulous due diligence. This process involves a deep dive into the financial health, management team, competitive landscape, and industry outlook of potential investments. By identifying any hidden risks early on, you reduce the chances of expensive mistakes. 

A solid due diligence process can uncover valuable insights that give you a competitive advantage, especially in niche markets with low competition. Additionally, focusing on emerging markets and underperforming assets often yields high returns with relatively low risks. 

2. Leverage Operational Improvements 

Private equity firms are known for their ability to improve the operational efficiency of the companies they invest in. By making strategic changes to streamline processes, cut costs, and enhance productivity, private equity investors can significantly increase a company’s value. Operational improvements might include implementing advanced technologies, restructuring management, or refocusing on profitable core businesses. 

The key is to identify underperforming assets that have the potential for operational turnaround. Investing in companies with low profitability but high growth potential offers a pathway to maximizing returns with minimal competition. 

3. Adopt a Value-Add Approach: Active Involvement 

Maximizing returns in private equity isn’t just about making great investments—it’s also about knowing when to exit. A well-timed exit strategy can lead to substantial profits, especially in a high-growth market. 

Typically, private equity firms look for one of the following exit routes: 

Initial Public Offering (IPO) 

Strategic Sale 

Secondary Buyout 

Recapitalization 

An early exit strategy ensures that you’re prepared to capitalize on the optimal time to sell, maximizing your returns. Always consider factors such as market conditions, company growth trajectory, and industry shifts to identify the best time to exit. 

5. Diversify Investment Portfolios: Reduce Risk, Maximize Returns 

Another powerful strategy to maximize returns in private equity is diversification. By investing across different sectors, industries, and regions, you reduce your exposure to any single risk factor. Diversifying allows you to manage risks better and leverage high-growth opportunities in emerging markets or niche sectors. 

Look for opportunities in high-demand, low-saturation markets where competition is minimal, and the potential for return is high. Geographic diversification can also be advantageous, especially in global markets that are experiencing strong economic growth. 

Conclusion: Combining Strategy with Insight for Optimal Returns 

Maximizing returns in private equity requires a careful blend of strategic planning, deep analysis, and active involvement. By incorporating these five strategies—due diligence, operational improvements, value-add approaches, exit strategies, and diversification—you are better positioned to achieve exceptional returns while minimizing risks.     Private equity is not a passive investment; it requires a proactive approach to identify opportunities and execute strategies that drive value. 

At Rits Capital, we help you navigate these complex strategies with a focus on high-growth opportunities and low-competition markets. Our expertise ensures that your investments are optimized for both short-term success and long-term profitability.

Game Day Challenges: Ensuring Safety & Order in Large Sporting Events

I’m Dr. Ravinder Singal, and for decades, I’ve been in the thick of the action, ensuring that the electric buzz of large sporting events doesn’t tip into chaos. Game Day Challenges aren’t just obstacles – they’re high-stakes puzzles that demand sharp planning, quick thinking, and an unwavering commitment to ensuring public safety during games. From mastering crowd management at sporting events to rolling out ironclad event security strategies, I’ve seen it all.

In this blog, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it takes to keep stadiums safe, sharing stories from the field, and diving into the nuts and bolts of stadium safety protocols, emergency response at stadiums, and large event risk management. Let’s talk about how we make game day crowd control work, so every fan goes home with a smile.

Sporting events are a celebration of passion, but they’re also a pressure cooker. Thousands of fans, fueled by adrenaline, packed into a stadium – it’s thrilling, but it’s also where sports event security planning becomes critical. Whether it’s a cricket showdown, a football clash, or a national athletics meet, managing large crowds at events is like conducting an orchestra: every note has to be perfect. Join me as I walk you through the Game Day Challenges I’ve tackled, leaning on law enforcement at sports venues and cutting-edge event security strategies to keep the game on track.

What Makes Game Day Challenges So Tough?

Let me tell you, Game Day Challenges are a beast. They’re about juggling a dozen risks at once – overcrowding, rowdy fans, medical emergencies, you name it. My years in public safety have taught me that crowd management at sporting events is the heart of a smooth event. One wrong move, like a clogged entry gate or a sluggish emergency response at stadiums, and things can unravel fast. I think back to the Hillsborough Disaster of 1989, where 96 lives were lost because stadium safety protocols weren’t up to par. It’s a grim reminder of what’s at stake.

I remember a cricket match in a buzzing city stadium, with 50,000 fans pouring in. The energy was off the charts, but so was the risk of disorder. We leaned hard on event security strategies, using real-time crowd monitoring and staggered entries to keep things flowing. That day taught me the power of large event risk management – you’ve got to see the storm coming and steer clear before it hits.

Crowd Management at Sporting Events: Reading the Room

Crowd management at sporting events is like reading a room full of excitable, unpredictable people. Fans are riding an emotional rollercoaster, and one spark – a bad call, a big win – can set off a chain reaction. My job is to make game day crowd control feel seamless, so fans don’t notice the safety net. It’s a balancing act: too much security feels oppressive, but too little invites trouble.

At a football match in a lively coastal town, I saw managing large crowds at events in action. We set up stadium safety protocols with clear entry zones and AI tools to track crowd density, dodging bottlenecks before they formed. It reminded me of what went wrong at the 2021 Astro world Festival, where poor crowd control turned deadly. Our event security strategies kept the focus on the game, not the logistics.

I’m a big believer in training. Security teams need to handle everything from drunk fans to serious threats. That’s why I push for law enforcement at sports venues to work hand-in-hand with private security. Their presence alone calms things down, but it’s their knack for defusing tension – maybe with a quick joke or a kind word – that really keeps the peace.

Tosh Village Under Threat as Landslide Creates Dangerous Natural Lake

[historyofguns]

The article "Urban Prepping — Emergency Preparedness in the City" by Kit Perez, discusses the unique challenges of survival in an urban environment during disasters. Unlike rural areas where survival resources are abundant, cities require different survival skills and preparation for disastrous events like earthquakes, hurricanes, or civil unrest. The importance of situational awareness, self-defense proficiency, and blending in during emergencies is emphasized. It highlights the limitations of depending solely on stored resources and stresses the need for emergency plans including Bug Out Bags (BOBs) for evacuation. Moreover, urban dwellers are encouraged to adapt their training to city-centric scenarios, focusing on both combat and non-combat skills to navigate potentially chaotic urban landscapes during emergencies.
