Have you seen these headlines, friend?
“A Climate ‘Shock’ Is Eroding Some Home Values. New Data Shows How Much.”
– The New York Times, 11/19/25
“Homeowners Sue Oil Companies as Climate Damage Drives up Insurance Rates”
– Inside Climate News, 12/5/25
Home insurance rates are surging, coverage is disappearing, and entire communities are being labeled “uninsurable.”
That’s no accident.
It's the result of a decades-long, concerted all-out effort by Big Oil. They’ve spent massive sums to deny, distract, and deceive Americans, while their pollution supercharged the storms, floods, and wildfires that are now pushing the insurance market to the brink.
The climate-driven homeowners’ insurance crisis is making life in America more unaffordable.
If you can’t get home insurance, you can’t get a mortgage. This is about the American Dream — homeownership keeps getting pushed further out of reach by Trump, all to help polluters.
I’ve been sounding the alarm on this issue all across the country, exposing how the fossil fuel industry drives up insurance costs as it pockets huge profits. Republicans continue to look away, because that’s what their big fossil fuel industry donors demand.
As long as Big Oil is pulling the strings on Trump and the Republican Party, the fight for our children's futures is going to be a steep, uphill battle.
That’s why I’m asking you to chip in today. Your support will help me take on Big Oil and the fossil fuel special interests that are dumping the costs of their climate wreckage on working families.
Thank you for standing with me in this fight,
Sheldon Whitehouse
