One of the clearest examples of an uninsurable area to date comes from California.
In 2024, State Farm, one of the largest home insurers in the United States, chose not to renew 72,000 home insurance policies across the state due, in part, to unsustainable wildfire risk.
It was not alone, as six of California’s twelve largest insurers had already paused or heavily restricted new policies.
Homeowners who can no longer find private coverage are directed to California’s insure…

"They discovered that land surface temperatures increased by an average of 2°C (3.6°F) in the months after an AI data centre started operations. In the most extreme cases, the increase in temperature was 9.1°C (16.4°F). The effect wasn’t limited to the immediate surroundings of the data centres: the team found increased temperatures up to 10 kilometres away. Seven kilometres away, there was only a 30 per cent reduction in the intensity."

Figure 2: Temperature increase through time over the AI hyperscalers locations centred around the time of start of operations (i=0), according to the procedure described in Section 3 - equation (1). The aggregate average of the LST difference is shown in red solid line. The shaded areas show the interval between the maximum and minimum value of LST increase that has been recorded across the considered AI hyperscalers. The bar across the average line identifies the limit of the 95th percentile o…

A morning walk through East Lawn Cemetery in Ithaca, New York uncovered an immense colony of some 5.5 million subterranean bees.
The discovery, which a Cornell University research team published in April in the journal Apidologie,
documents one of the largest aggregations of these insects ever recorded in the world.
The population, belonging to the species Andrena regularis, occupies an area of about 1.25 acres
and is crucial for pollination of the region's orch…

As climate change makes extreme weather events more intense and frequent, “uninsurable areas” are becoming increasingly common.
They are a clear demonstration that insurance – the mechanism through which modern societies deal with all kinds of risk – is structurally underprepared for this new climate era.
Uninsurable areas refer to places where property insurance has become either impossible to get or to afford.
This can happen because insurers are not offering coverage in a…
