Why Redfin is keeping climate risk data (even if others aren't). There is a divide forming in the real estate world regarding data transparency. Recently, Zillow removed climate risk data following pressure from agents concerned about impact on home values. At Redfin, we took a different path. We decided to keep displaying climate risk data. Why? Because homebuyers find climate risk scores valuable when making one of the most important financial decisions of their lives. In 2020, we ran a massive experiment with 17.5 million users. We displayed flood risk data provided by First Street to half the audience. The result was undeniable: Among users looking at severely or extremely flood-risky homes, those who saw the risk scores made offers on homes with 50% less risk than those who didn’t. Information drives decision-making. Is the current data perfect? No. We don't know exactly how fast climate change will progress or how local governments will adapt. But the First Street methodology is peer reviewed and validated by experts. Climate risk scores are only one piece of information regarding the costs of climate change for homebuyers. Ideally, we would provide actual insurance cost data alongside these risk scores. However, without disclosure requirements, buyers often don't learn the cost of insuring a home until after they’ve made an offer. Until insurance transparency improves, we are committed to providing the best available climate risk data so buyers can make informed decisions when choosing a home.

Firefighter James Rodgers speaking alongside Zack Polanski, on the need to address climate change "When people talk about climate change, they often talk about the year 2050. I’m a firefighter. I want to talk about now, because for firefighters, climate change isn’t a prediction, it’s a shift we’re already working. Climate change is the fire call to multiple back gardens alight, children’s clothing burning on the washing line." "Climate change is the acrid smell as you effect entry into a flat because someone has succumbed to heat stroke and hasn’t been checked on in weeks. Climate change is the sound of people in floods of tears when they’re stuck in a lift 20 floors up in 30-degree heat." "Climate change is the taste of dust in your dry mouth watching a fire sweep uncontrollably across a park you used to play football in as a child in your summer holidays. Climate change is this becoming a day-to-day reality." "This week I’ve spoken to my colleagues from all over the United Kingdom and they have said no one wants to admit it, but the heat is getting to all of us. We’re getting shorter with each other and we’re finishing jobs feeling like we’ve done a full day’s work even before lunch." "Another said, my station gets very hot inside and there isn’t a place I can find relief from the heat whilst at work. It leaves me having more headaches and brain fog, less able to do my job after 24 years in the job. Another firefighter said to me, when are we finally going to get the workwear designed for this climate?" "Everyone who works in the fire brigade is feeling the exhaustion. We expect the fires, we expect the floods, we expect the road traffic collisions. What we didn’t expect was for the extreme heat itself to become the emergency." "Not just for the public, for the people responding to it too. Climate change is rapidly changing the conditions in which every part of our job happens. Make no mistake, we will turn up. Don’t fear the sound of our sirens – it’s the sound of help on its way." "We will keep responding, we will keep adapting. The question isn’t whether us firefighters will do our job, the question is whether the rest of us are willing to do ours. The climate crisis is stretching the fire service long before it makes headlines." "And whilst the same debates continue to happen, whilst fossil fuels are exploited from the earth for the profit of the few, our jobs are getting harder, days longer, resources thinner and incidents more severe." "Major fires can start with a single spark. Every solution starts with a decision to act. Every action that cuts emissions, protects our green spaces, teaches our children to care, supports resilience or helps a vulnerable neighbour matters." "Our future isn’t decided by one big decision, but millions of small ones. And the longer we wait, the harder it becomes for communities, for governments and, yes, for firefighters too. Because the climate crisis isn’t coming." "It’s calling 999."

Sen. John Kennedy reveals what he hopes President Trump’s war message pivots to—and his biggest fear if it doesn’t. “I’ve seen that vampire movie before. It doesn’t work!” “We knew we had to destroy all of Iran’s air force, its navy, its drones… and the baby steps that it had started to take to gain a nuclear warhead.” “That was why we went in. We have done that. We either have done it or we’ll be finished doing it in the next few weeks.” “And I hope the president will say… ‘I’ve accomplished what we wanted to accomplish, and we’re coming home.’” “The criticism will be made if the president does what I just said. ‘Well, Iran still has fissile material. Enriched uranium.’” “Yes. Buried about 1,000 ft deep under a bunch of rocks. And we’ll be able to know if they’re trying to dig it out, and we can send in another bomb.” “And others will say, ‘Well, Mr. President, you didn’t have regime change.’ We wanted regime change. It didn’t happen. So should we send in 50,000, 100,000, 150,000 troops to try to take over Iran?” “I’ve seen that vampire movie before. It doesn’t work!” “It’s time to come home, in my opinion.” STEPHEN A. SMITH: “So you’re clearly against boots on the ground. You don’t want American soldiers in Iran?” KENNEDY: “I think we’ll be walking into a quagmire, and once we get in, it will never get out.”

"We Need to Employ $50 Trillion": Larry Fink on Why the Private Sector Must Lead the Green Transition "Well, if they don't get it done, then we are going to have more risk as societies, we're going to have more issues related to rising climate and importantly, which will create more societal issues." "Already we're seeing an impact in society right now from climate risk and climate change. are seeing insurance premiums going up 18 % a year right now. So we're seeing a real impact from what climate risk is doing from flooding, from fires. So we're seeing a big impact." "And so the faster that we could find ways to mitigating the rising temperatures, I would say the more just society could be. And so to me, we don't have much time. And this is why when I learned about catalyst and I learned about what Bill was doing was very clear to me why we needed to be a part of this, why we needed to invest the time and the money." "And the key is also the time because we need to be learning about these new the new technologies and how to move forward. And we need to then inform our investors ultimately where we think the next opportunities are going to be too as Bill in his book wrote about, we need to employ $50 trillion to get to a green world." "With the rising deficits that we see in governments, from our perspective, the 50 trillion is mostly going to have to come from the private sector. And I do believe that money will be well spent, well spent for returns. It will transform our economies. It will build new jobs. will build new cities and new opportunities." "So I look at this as an optimist. I don't look at this as a pessimist. But the key is to be that optimist. We have to jump on it now. We have to be investing today. We need to talk about it today, although much of the problems in the future but we're seeing more and more evidence of the problem today."
