If your house is under water due to rising water levels from global warming, who is responsible for your loss?

Answer 1

You are responsible for your loss. You assumed the risk by purchasing or building in the area that you did. Also, check your homeowner's insurance and read the policy very carefully. It will tell you just as much, unless you bought specific insurance for just this event. Most insurance does NOT cover flooding!

Answer 2

Nobody directly.

That is an important lesson. We all must take responsability for our environment, this is a collective task, with individual repercussions.

Your individual house, is a part of a collective loss, it just happens to be your home.

PS. STOP CALLING PEOPLE IDIOTS. This is actually a philosopical question. The lack of empathy here is apalling.

and BTW. often people build on a floodplane. That is a mistake but please don't call them idiots.

BTW. People often build on a floodplane because they are economically stuck there.

I repeat, our environment, and social justice, is a collective endeavor.

Also, the population, esp. in developing countries is on the rise, and commerce is done near the coast, so for survival they move to the cities.

If a Tsunami hits a forest and nobody dies it is not an Act of God.

If a Tsunami hits an area of cleared land, that once was a forest, where 10,000 people live in makeshift housing, it is an act of God?

Leave the old man out of this one.

Answer 3

If you think your house is underwater due to global warming you are an idiot.

if you live in a flood plain its your own fault for building/moving there.

if you are one of the displaced misfortunate ones of Katrina, Katrina was a hurricane, they happen, and they soak stuff its what they do.

If you're from NO, that would be the fault of the Levees breaking due to not being maintained by your inattentive local Govt.

So suck it up and move on, next time get flood insurance

Answer 4

There is no one responsible for an "act of god." Who can you blame for global warming? You bought the house where it is just as people in New Orleans. Now, their levys broke so they could sue but rising ocean water is just a force of nature.

Answer 5

My grandpa is ninety 8 years previous and each and each morning he receives up at 7:00 and drinks one complete glass of very chilly water. that's declared that your body burns energy at the same time as ingesting chilly water and it flushes down each thing on your body's gadget. besides the indisputable fact that, there is not any longer some thing incorrect with ingesting warmth water. it isn't poor for you, yet I desire my water chilly by way of the indisputable fact that's extra fresh.
