How do you prepare for global warming? Get more ice?

Hose down the first EPA employee you see.

Move to higher land with a better gradient.

Like all scams, just follow the money.

Farmers Insurance. Dum de-dum dum, dum dum dum. Another corporation for the list.

Kind of hard to win a case when there is no actual evidence. “Fear” of global warming is not enough.

I'm waiting for the mass Suisides from the IDIOTs who worship this shit.
These people are insane and are extremely dangerous to this country. They should
all be ridiculed at every opportunity and called stupid in public.

Some old hippie chick told me across and parts store counter that I
shouldn't ask for plastic bags for my parts. She was fired for her greenie propaganda.

Chicago has had this problem with sewer overflow for years. I remember hearing about it back in the 80's.

Unlike most modern cities, Chicago's storm water and sanitary sewer systems are not separate. So, when storms overwhelm the sewer system, it backs up into houses.

There have been various fixes proposed for years. A relatively simple one that limits the flow of storm water into the sewer was rejected, because the unions would rather spend more money building giant sewer tunnels.

I’m surprised the insurance companies aren’t suing God but it sounds like The next gen lib stategy for not paying your insurance claims. I say stop buying from those companies.

Doesn’t globull warming mean that it will get hotter?
Shouldn’t we be then preparing for droughts instead of floods?

In my neck of the woods, the cause for flooding is because the creeks have not been cleaned and have become shallow because of all the mudslides. Twenty years ago the water was at least 6 feet deep. Now one is lucky if one can get their ankles wet in certain areas.

I like the precedent of non-governmental entities being able to sue governmental-entities over real or perceived harm.

I dare the feral government to let this happen.

The unintended consequences would be revolutionary... literally.

If you have a car accident just say it was global warming or climate change that caused it and you’re safe.

[cripplecreek]

How’sabout a little fascism scarecrow.

[Moonman62]

Floods and storms are caused by weather, not climate. Weather has always caused problems.

I just can't wait for the discovery process in that lawsuit.

[Carry_Okie]

Ever notice that the guy they use for their TV commercials looks just like the farmer in American Gothic?

[DugwayDuke]

Typical scumbag attorney attempt to avoid a claim.

[oldtech]

If I understand this right,an insurance company could refuse a claim by blaming the incident on anthropogenic climate change. Will they explain this beforehand & define the terms before selling a policy? I’d want to know how they would determine(BEFORE buying the policy)whether the incident leading to the claim was a natural disaster or man-caused. If they don’t want to pay any claims,they should at least be up front about it.....right?

Earlier this week, the U.S. arm of a major global insurance company backed away from an unprecedented lawsuit against Chicago and its suburbs for failing to prepare for heavy rains and associated flooding it claimed were fueled by global warming. While legal experts said the case was a longshot, its withdrawal didn't alter the message it contained for governments: prepare now for climate change or pay the price.

Umm, it's corruption in Chicago - same reason pot holes aren't fixed. Preparing for flooding caused by rain isn't new... Has NOTHING to do with 'global warming'. And how come the reporter didn't tell us the name of the 'major' insurance company. This story feels bogus... pushing an agenda based on thin air... and unicorn logic.

[Ray76]

Rather than sue how about change the rate?
