The American populous has decided that this is not the case - drill, baby drill.

In the current landscape I think very few people on a global scale has any sympathy with Americans being affected by the changing climate.

We could put all of humanity in the space of Texas at the density of Manhattan, so I don't think we lack space.

But we would not then be able to safely handle sanitation, transportation, air pollution, etc. Nor would we be able to handle the logistic required to feed everyone in such a scenario.

"Hypothetically, if we were to jam every human on earth into a space the size of Texas; it would just have the same pop. density as Manhattan" is not remotely the same as "in practice, all of humanity could comfortably live in a space the size of Texas with the density of Manhattan."

I would argue it is a problem that can't be solved by means of insurance.

Me too; just responding to that people can move.

Moving money from one pile to the other won't fix climate crisis
