The rapid growth of #AI #datacentres, driven by significant private capital investment, is presenting challenges for #insurers. Insurers are offering bespoke policies and exploring asset-backed securitisation, the mismatch between the lifespan of data centres and GPUs, along with the potential for disputes over property valuations, adds complexity to the risk landscape. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/06/ai-data-centers-financing-insurance-deals-gpu-debt.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

I hope for the sake of this lads family that suspension mods to #VWPolo had been notified to insurers (its been lowered, I compared it to my own first #car which is a similar model) , and there isn't too much data on the ECU or its difficult to capture as car has sat at bottom of River Nene for a few days (although memory chips can survive this!) as #insurers are *really* going to be digging deep into reducing their liabilities for this #crash, with a dead passenger and other injuries/trauma to the survivors.
Daily Mail managed to doorstep witnesses/survivors and gleaned from them he was not habitually a bad/reckless driver and likely overcorrected steering trying to avoid #potholes - I 100% believe this, knowing what rural roads are like round here!

This came up again in the news as the #Inquest from HM #Coroner has concluded
Although I only met him once I'm still gutted this happened and I didn't keep in touch with him - we'd chatted about social media marketing and getting more pictures of work in progress online - but his shop always seemed busy , I felt awkward about randomly calling him or turning up there (if I didn't have any cars to actually be repaired) as it was taking up time that wouldn't be revenue generating and everyone in #automotive round here seems rushed off their feet, but I guess this shows how quickly ruthless #capitalism can turn a dream #career in to a nightmare (there seems to be less private work for #bodyshops and #insurers make them jump through many hoops for lower rates)

Studio still out of action since last November’s flood. It’s been gutted for months, but no sign of rebuild starting. The insurance claim just gets bounced around between Companies; Insurers, assessors, builders, everyone passing the buck, and nothing moves. Some good folks are trying, but they seem powerless.
Meanwhile, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, had surgery, radiotherapy, years of meds ahead. It all feels surreal. I just want to be in my studio. It’s deeply frustrating.
If UK companies are like this, the UK is in more trouble than I thought. RSA is the insurer, they’re pulling out of the domestic market, and don’t seem to care about their reputation. I’ve contacted their CEO, Ken Norwood, twice, which led to complaints opened and closed, reopened, but no real progress. I could go to the ombudsman, but who wants that hassle? What I want is for someone to put a rocket under this whole process and get my studio sorted.

#Insurers Want #Businesses to Wake Up to Costs of #ExtremeHeat
#SwissRe, the Zurich-based #reinsurance firm, focused in-depth on extreme heat – a natural catastrophe we don’t normally associate with insurers.
“Up to half a million people globally succumb to the effects of extreme heat each year, according to recent scientific research,” the report noted, “exceeding the combined impact of floods, earthquakes and hurricanes.

#US Government to Stop Tracking Cost of #ExtremeWeather
It would be harder for #insurers and scientists to study #wildfires, storms and other “billion dollar disasters,” which are more frequent as planet warms.
Latest effort from the Trump administration to restrict or eliminate #climate #research.
“It defies logic,” Jesse M. Keenan said. Without the database, “US government’s flying blind as to the cost of extreme #weather and #climatechange.”

Capitalism Eating Itself by Fueling Climate Mayhem, Warns Capitalist
If humanity stays on current course, warns top insurer, the "financial sector as we know it ceases to function. And with it, capitalism as we know it ceases to be viable."
According to GüntherThallinger, a former top executive at Germany's branch of the consulting giant #McKinsey & Company and currently a board member of #Allianz SE, one of the largest insurance companies in the world, the #ClimateCrisis is on a path to destroy #capitalism as we know it.
"We are fast approaching temperature levels—1.5C, 2C, 3C—where #insurers will no longer be able to offer coverage for many" of the risks associated with the #climate crisis, Thallinger writes in a recent post highlighted Thursday by #TheGuardian.
There is no way to "adapt" to temperatures beyond human tolerance. There is limited adaptation to #megafires, other than not building near #forests. Whole cities built on flood plains cannot simply pick up and move uphill. And as temperatures continue to rise, adaptation itself becomes economically unviable.
Once we reach 3°C of warming, the situation locks in. Atmospheric energy at this level will persist for 100+ years due to carbon cycle inertia and the absence of scalable industrial carbon removal technologies. There is no known pathway to return to pre-2°C conditions. (See: #IPCC AR6, 2023; NASA Earth Observatory: "The Long-Term Warming Commitment")
At that point, risk cannot be transferred (no insurance), risk cannot be absorbed (no public capacity), and risk cannot be adapted to (physical limits exceeded). That means no more mortgages, no new real estate development, no long-term investment, no financial stability. The financial sector as we know it ceases to function. And with it, capitalism as we know it ceases to be viable.

A very good analysis - and helpful too. Three major floods in the last 15 yrs. (Not 4 in the last 50 which misses the whole point.) What version are insurers running off in their risk models? 😐

Starting Jan 1, GSK has said it’s discontinuing the branded #asthmainhaler #Flovent, instead is making an “authorized #generic” version, which is identical but without the same branding. Physicians who treat patients w asthma say #authorized generic will work just as well as branded drug, but it doesn’t appear to be covered as widely by #insurers.
